Sang Nam

Dr. Sang Nam has been part of the Gustavson School of Business at UVic since 1992 and has shared his expertise in cross-cultural management, human resource management and organizational behaviour with hundreds of undergraduate and graduate students.

His research and publications focus on comparing organizational behaviors between individualistic and collectivistic cultures, face-saving behaviour in Asia, expatriate management, and the management practices of the “chaebol” (Korean conglomerates).
