- Full-Time MBA Students Go Camping
- Full-Time MBA Students Go Camping Greeted by wafting hints of fresh barbecue and a toasted September breeze, the class of 2020 inaugurated the school year with a group outing to Nanji Camp Ground. More than 20 Full-Time MBA students kicked off the weekend with a city-wide scavenger hunt, humorous team challenges, and fireside drinks with classmates, all while overlooking the beautiful Han river. Serving as the group’s first official “MT”- short for membership training- the outing was... a unique way to experience Seoul and grow as a class.

- A day in the life of a freshman
- A day in the life of a freshman Since I started my life at SKK GSB, every day has been a new thrill. A normal day comprises two lectures in the morning followed by a long period of study in the afternoon, with a nice chat with friends during lunchtime. On the first day I was assigned a team to work with and feel close to my team members now. I spend most of my time with my team mates, having fun and working together. At the end of the day, as I get out of the International Hall, it is already dark, but my head is still racing with ideas on the topics we’ve reviewed during the day. On the way home, I always find myself reflecting on the contents of the class. I am not tired and am willing to do more when I get home, but I cannot resist spending some time with my family, laughing and chatting about events of the day. Since I arrived in Korea, my life has become very interesting and is filled with stories. My classmates are from different parts of the world and my vision of life is widening. As I fall asleep I feel very lucky for this opportunity to be experiencing and learning from so many people, professors and friends. Written by Gonzalo Pinzón (SKK GSB Full-Time MBA, Class of 2020)

- [Day-3,4] Professional MBA Japan field trip experience
- [Day 3: LINE Corporation visit and lecture at ICS] We learned how LINE Corporation provides a platform for mobile messaging and communication services, content distribution, and related services primarily in Japan, Taiwan, Thailand, Indonesia, and Hong Kong. It showed how a company can boost its profits via communication and content sales, and advertising services through the platform. Prof. Emi’s Strategic Innovations by Japanese Companies showed how innovative strategies created by Japanese companies have an impact on unique issues the Japanese society is facing, such as an aging society and declining population. She addressed issues of vacant homes, of labor productivity, of insufficient resources and the need for resources like big data. However, it is still a bit confusing to understand how value or profitability can be prioritized between innovation and standardization, like how Porter Prize is awarded to recognize companies and business units that achieve high profitability based on unique competitive strategies. [Day 4: Cultural tour] The tour in the morning took us to many of the pop culture places, providing a good opportunity to experience another aspect of Japan's culture which otherwise is very traditional. Innovation, Standardization, Coordination, Digital disruption, Value proposition, Hyper-aging society, Quality, Profitability, Costs, Robots, Senior care, Strategic innovation, Customization, Localization, Big data, etc, were the keywords from this trip and are already familiar to us from our MBA program. We learned how we need to be creative and efficiently manage capital & ideas and how to apply these to our current work. Spending time away from the confines of a classroom gave us a great opportunity to bond and enabled us to connect on a more personal level which were also highlights of this trip. A global field trip like this is a perfect complement to the SKK GSB PMBA program. Written by Changki Yeo (SKK GSB Professional MBA, Class of 2019)
