Center for Work Science (CWS) conducts research on issues related to the emerging new ways of working with information and communication technologies. Established within the Institute of Convergence Science at Yonsei University in 2014, our mission is to develop frameworks and concepts with empirical support, for the new 'work science' in order to help executives address the technology related challenges in managing organizations of the future. Research results are disseminated primarily through working papers, research briefings, forums and conferences.
