Research Centers To remain at the top of their disciplines, Tuck's faculty constantly undertake innovative research projects, which also vitalize their courses. Professor Vijay Govindarajan is known internationally for his work on the strategy of joint ventures and alliances, Professor Michael Knetter for his research into global trade, and Professor Kevin Keller for his work on managing brand equity. The school's postdoctoral fellows program brings recent PhDs to campus, adding international perspectives, new areas of expertise, and cutting-edge scholarship to the Tuck community. In addition, Tuck research lunches bring together small groups of students and faculty to talk about current research issues. Such interactions frequently lead to research assistantships or independent study projects.
Pharmaceuticals is a highly regulated industry in Korea, and there are a lot of regulatory changes.
Lilly wanted our help in understanding the reforms. Our team of five students interviewed their executive team, government officials, advisers to different officials, even their competitors. When we visited their manufacturing facilities, we all expected they would be farther behind than they were, but they were very advanced. The South Korean market in some ways is just as advanced as Western Europe or America. Some government standards are as stringent, if not more so, so their facilities are very up to date.
