Hello,
I'm currently enrolled in Korea University Business School working on my Global MBA, with an expected completion date of ~August 2014. Our program offers the chance to study abroad with partner schools to enhance global perspective. The exchange would last 2-4 months (one semester) and following the exchange I'd go back to Korea to graduate. I'm trying to decide which university to go abroad to study in.
First, some information about my background:
-I'm American
-Graduated from a tier 2 engineering university in America (studying chemistry)
-Worked in Sales and R&D in the US for 3 years
Information about my short term and long term goals:
Short term:
I'd like to work in B2C marketing in Korea following graduation, either for international MNC's or Korean MNC's
Long Term:
-I'd like to probably move back to the US after extensive international experience
I initially had the goal of becoming something of an "Asian expert" through studying and working in Eastern Asia. Now the time has come to select a school to study abroad in, and I'm having a bit of trouble deciding.
Country and University Name
Japan's Tsukuba University
India's Institute of Management Technology, Ghaziabad
China's Fudan University
Chile 's Univeristy of Chile
Portugal's Catholic University of Portugal
I'm leaning towards either Fudan in China or IMT in India, but I'm not sure yet. In addition to the actual quality of the school program, quality of life and potential to make new connections and expand my international network in an up and coming country is also very important. Out of the above choices, and given my above goals and background, where would you recommend going?
Thanks for any help provided!

I would go for China or Japan.
China due to the influence it has on the world - seeing this year's CES, a lot of Chinese presence. Of course Korea dominated with LG and Samsung running the show (Japan was on the background).
So you have a few paths:
1. China - the future and where the main competitor will be for Korea
2. Japan - the past glory that the Koreans are feasing on having taken the lead from Sony and Panasonic
You decide - both are valuable from the culture and education perspective.
P.S. one thing to keep in mind is that when you do a study abroad, it is tough to do a job search. Study abroad is a less rigorous and more of a vacation type of a program... most often it is a pass/fail only and has no impact on your GPA but then you have to rush quite a bit with recruiting. Bottom line is that while it is a cool and great experience, it may put your recruiting at risk.

Thanks for the reply bb, and I mostly agree with you concerning China.
During my studies currently, the professors are also stressing the future importance of India. I know that China is already very important, especially with the direct connections it has as the top supplier to both the US and S. Korea, however I'm wondering if India might also be a good choice... On the other hand, Fudan is a ranked program, and I don't think the Indian program is very famous...
Thanks again,
Danny
