Over the two-day conference, approximately 120 scholars from 53 universities and research institutions across 13 countries participated, sharing cutting-edge research findings and engaging in active academic discussions.
The conference program consisted of keynote sessions and multiple research presentation sessions, covering a broad range of topics across human resource management, organizational behavior, labor economics, and strategy. In particular, in-depth discussions and open exchanges between domestic and international scholars were praised for transforming the campus into a vibrant global academic community.
The conference was jointly organized by Professor Tae Yoon Park, Professor Diane Burton of Cornell University, and Professor Jason D. Shaw of Nanyang Technological University, and was held with the support of the College of Business and the BK Program.
Through the inaugural ICoMP Conference, the College of Business further strengthened its global research network and solidified its role as an academic hub leading international discourse in the fields of compensation and performance research. ICoMP is expected to develop into a regular international academic conference in the years to come.
