Andre Abrahamian

Andre Abrahamian appears in Getting entrepreneurial in Korea (Summer School) as a business and policy educator who taught North Koreans topics such as marketing, management, accounting, and trade. The source places his work inside Kim Jong Un’s limited economic opening, when entrepreneurs, retail operators, factory managers, software companies, and startup ideas had some room to learn business practice.

His role is source-scoped: Abrahamian shows that North Korea did not lack teachable entrepreneurial capacity. The constraint was that donju activity remained politically tolerated rather than legally secure, so learning could strengthen growth without creating durable Property Rights As Investment Incentive.
