CHS5001 | Intensive Finance Research Seminars with Top Scholars | 3 | 6 | Major | Master/Doctor | Challenge Semester | - | No | |
The purpose of the course is to expose SKKU students to path-breaking works in the past, recent developments in financial theories, and newly documented empirical evidence published in top-tier journal articles. Invited scholars may also introduce students to their research areas by providing students with an in-depth review of their own work and other related papers. The course will equip SKKU students with the knowledge and methodological tools required to write scholarly articles that are potentially publishable in top-tier journals in finance and related fields. The course would offer SKKU students an opportunity to directly work with prominent scholars, potentially leading to high-quality papers that are publishable in top-tier journals. Through the course, invited scholars would share their personal experiences with SKKU students in generating new research ideas, executing those ideas, writing-up the manuscript, and interacting with journal editors and referees, providing students with an invaluable opportunity to learn how the whole process works. The invitation could also help promote scholarly collaborations between visiting scholars and SKKU faculty members in the area of common interests. | |||||||||

CHS5005 | AI Startup and Entrepreneurship | 3 | 6 | Major | Master/Doctor | 1-4 | Challenge Semester | - | No |
Recent years have witnessed a rapid increase in the number of so-called AI startups with AI as their core value, as the scope of AI's application across all industries has expanded significantly. This is gaining popularity not only in Korea, but globally as well. However, there are no theoretical or empirical guidelines regarding the entrepreneurial skills and business models that AI startups in a hypercompetitive market should possess. It is extremely harsh for those AI startups that are actually traditional businesses dressed up to look like they use AI to to succeed in a very competitive market. For AI startups with inadequate business acumen, gaining a foothold on the market is also a daunting task. By focusing on the following three goals, henceforth, this course aims to assist the growing number of AI startups with their challenges. Firstly, it categorizes the various possible business models for AI startup companies. Secondly, it then examines some of the most prominent domestic and international cases to illustrate the various types of entrepreneurship that AI startups require to thrive. Thirdly, a hypothetical AI startup is created, on a team basis, using real-world software such as Landbot, Stable Diffusion, and a number of no-code ML/DL (machhine learning/deep learning). Then its business model and entrepreneurship are established; and its efficacy is evaluated. | |||||||||
