- MBA Team Sets Record with Investing Simulation
- MBA Team Sets Record with Investing Simulation The full-time MBA program wrapped up its Investing Simulation this semester with a bang, with one team of students earning a record-breaking 36 percent return. “Investing in the America stock market is very hard, sometimes making us stay up all night. But, it was great fun for me,” said winning team member Jiuk Myong. “We learned the investment world is somewhat different from what you learn in textbooks. This was a great chance to test our skills in the real world.” Students were organized in 8 teams, each competing with a hypothetical $100,000 portfolio of American securities. A staple of the MBA program, over the course of 10 weeks students put their skills to the test trading through the simulation.

- Applied Business Project(ABP) clients meeting
- Applied Business Project(ABP) clients meeting During the last few weeks, different groups of students met with their clients for the ABP project. The experience of consulting is new for some, and business as usual for others, but is exciting for everyone. “Getting to know the realities of the company and the struggles they face is really exciting; this is beyond any academics-only program”, is the general consensus. The meetings enable students to understand and analyze the issues a company is facing and come up with creative solutions. This opportunity should allow the students to test their academic knowledge in a business environment. The ABP is a program designed to let students experience a project of their preference. It is modeled along the lines of a consultancy and gives students the opportunity to have real experience with a company before graduation, under the guidance of a well-known professor as an advisor. The ABP is also a great opportunity for businesses to access highly motivated and well-prepared students who can advise their organizations. With each year, the ABP project has become very sought after, to the point that several businesses compete for acceptance.

- Marketing Simulation: Riding "up-hill"
- Marketing Simulation: Riding "up-hill" With only one round left, the Marketing Simulation game is about to end. The competition among the teams has been tough, but the in-game rivalry never hurt the amicable ambience of the MBA floor. Since the start of the year, eight teams have been sweating it out in a simulated arena. The game, played at an accelerated pace, is to build a world-class bicycle company from scratch. It provided an opportunity for the students to apply marketing theory learnt in class. Despite the knowledge and effort, the market is unforgiving and having the upper hand has not been easy in this tight competition. Nevertheless, the efforts have paid off as the students feel more confident about their knowledge through experience. “We’ve seen that competing is not easy, competitors are always seeking for a way to outdo other companies, and we learnt that we need to be very analytical to sort the information from the market and make sound decisions each round. Now we know much better where we failed, and we have learned from our mistakes. I am sure I am more capable now of delivering value to my employer”, said one student.

- Applied Business Project(ABP) Kick-off.
- Applied Business Project Kick-off. Let’s get down to work! The Applied Business Project (ABP) kick-off dinner took place on 30 Jan. Student groups met with representatives of real businesses to understand some of the issues facing them in the real world. The idea behind ABP is for student teams to analyze the issues and suggest solutions based on their MBA studies – a good way to combine theory and practice. “This is a great opportunity for us to get to know the industry, especially since some of us don’t have consultancy experience,” said one of the students. The ABP is a program designed to let students experience a project of their preference. It is developed along the lines of a consultancy and gives students the opportunity to have real experience with a company before graduation, under the guidance of a well-known professor as an advisor. The ABP is also a great opportunity for businesses to access highly motivated and well-prepared students who can refresh their organizations. With each year, the ABP project has become very sought after, to the point that several businesses compete for acceptance. The next four months are surely going to be challenging and a lot of work, but we are certain the outcome will be great for both parties!

- Start of a new semester!
- Start of a new semester! Last week, Full-Time MBA class started again at SKK GSB. For the class of 2020, the first semester is over and the second semester is just ahead. As one period closes so a new one starts. The last weeks of December were hectic with a full work load, but as soon as finals were over, students used their break time to relax, learn and explore. Many of the students went abroad, some to their home towns, others set out to explore Korea or even Asia. Friends that had worked hard together through the semester, were all enjoying the break in different ways. Students immediately immersed themselves in their studies at the opening of the class. Early next month, students will kick off Applied Business Projects (ABP), a field-based course in which they will participate in lectures from senior industry executives and tackle real-world consulting projects mentored by professors and industry experts. ABP will expose students to invaluable practical learning experiences which will grant them a major advantage in their job searches.
