PJ Rogers

PJ Rogers serves as an Assistant Professor in the Faculty of Business & Government at Brigham Young University–Hawaii (BYU-Hawaii), where he has taught Supply Chain, Logistics, Operations, Career Management, and Personal and Family Finance since August 2013. Renowned for intensive student mentorship, he advises 4-8 students daily and develops high-impact internships that secure full-time employment for graduates while consulting on career decisions for graduate students.

His academic credentials include:

• ABD PhD Candidate in International Business (Marketing emphasis) at Yonsei University, Seoul (2002–Present; thesis defense expected Spring 2013)
• MBA in International Business (Marketing emphasis) from Yonsei University (1996–1999), one of few non-Koreans to complete the Korean-language program

Rogers' research bridges academic theory and Asian business practice, focusing on international experience's impact on executives, cross-cultural negotiation, personal finance behavior in Southeast Asia, and sports business communications. His work leverages deep regional expertise gained through living in Korea, Japan, Taiwan, and China while conducting business in Korean and Japanese.

Analysis of his publications reveals consistent emphasis on practical applications: early works explored Asian trade blocs and negotiation styles (1994–1999), mid-career research examined executive international experience (2015–2016), and recent studies address university facilities management (2022) and youth financial behavior across Vietnam, Indonesia, and the Philippines (2024), often co-authored with students.

His professional recognition includes:

• Hyundai Broadcasting's “Best Korean Speaking Foreigner” award (1997)

As an advisor, Rogers orchestrates the Career Connect Program and manages internship placements through LDS Business Professionals, directly linking student development to corporate opportunities at Samsung, HP, and Oracle. His consulting firm East West Consulting Ltd. extends this mentorship into Asian market entry strategies, while his media work on Seoul Broadcasting System translates academic insights for 5.5 million radio listeners on Western-Asian business dynamics.
