Dr Changwon Park
PhD Student
Summary
I am currently pursuing a Doctoral Research programme in Information Systems Management at Brunel Business School, where I am under the supervision of Professor Habin Lee. My research focuses on examining the impact of people's movements on the spatial value and performance of specific industry areas, with a particular emphasis on the hospitality management industry.
Before entering academia, I spent over a decade working in managerial roles for government-related organisations in Korea. My responsibilities included organising and hosting trade show events to facilitate the expansion of small and medium-sized enterprises into international markets. This professional experience sparked my academic interest in the hospitality industry, particularly in the context of exhibitions and conventions. During this period, I pursued concurrent academic studies and received a Ph.D. in Hospitality Management with a focus on trade shows.
Following the completion of my Ph.D. degree, I served as a lecturer and research professor at both KyungHee University and Gachon University in South Korea. Leveraging my strong industrial background, my research has continued to be oriented toward business-related aspects, with a particular emphasis on trade shows.
