- [Interview] Park Sung-yeon (20th grade), president of the 23rd Business School Student Council
- 1. Hello, it's so nice to meet you like this! First of all, please introduce yourself and student council BE:ONE briefly. Hi, everyone. My name is Park Sun-young, and I will be working as the student president of Sungkyunkwan University School of Business Administration. The 23rd Student Council BE:ONE aims to establish a student council suitable for the new era and situation that will take place after overcoming COVID-19 to create a business university where united managers learn from each other and grow together to spur continued development. 2. What prompted you to run for student president? I have been working for the student council of the business university ever since I entered the school, and I think I naturally came to the position of student president with love for the student council. In particular, I couldn't have an active college life due to the pandemic, so I wanted to create a diverse and healthy business school culture. I would appreciate it if you could see it as my practical action to create a business university that will become active and united again. 3. Please introduce the business of BE:ONE and tell me something to pay attention to. BE:ONE is trying to create a business school that grows through positive interaction. First, we would like to try again to "visit companies" that were not implemented due to COVID-19 so that employment-related programs can be implemented effectively. We would like to help students design their careers by leaving the classroom and having a lively experience in the field. Second, by opening a "a career exploration class with a professor," a channel of communication between business administration professors and students, we will prepare a new meeting place and improve the mentoring system related to employment. Third, we would like to establish a "group volunteer program" at the business university to acquire personality, which is the graduation standard, to provide opportunities and information for participating in volunteer activities, while also creating a new exchange place for business college students. 4. What do you think is the most important thing to lead the student council? My most important value is empathy. In four idioms, it's called Yeok-ji-sa-ji. From the other person's point of view, you know what they want. I would like to get closer by thinking from the standpoint of students in business administration about what they are dissatisfied with and what they want more. 5. In the meantime, there have been many restrictions on student council activities due to COVID-19, but now it seems that various activities will be possible as it is eased. What are the plans for the future? We would like to create a new chapter so that our skin can touch each other and become more active in accordance with the times and situations after overcoming COVID-19 to form a diverse and healthy management culture. Among the projects promised by BE:ONE is a project called "school jumper day". This is preparing a project where all business college students wear department jumpers on the same day and communicate regardless of student ID. We would like to provide opportunities for exchange with new cultural contents and add fun to the school life of business college students. Furthermore, we will strive for a business university that boasts a strong bond with no boundaries between student ID. 6. What is the last thing you want to say to SKKU and students ? We would like to end our term by repaying the trust of our business college students who believe in us. There are still some shortcomings, but we will become BE:ONE who grows up filling the shortcomings. We will continue to strive for a business university that will become more active in the future, and for studnets who will rise higher. There's BE:ONE at the center. Please continue to pay a lot of attention to the student council of the business school.

- [Contribution] Professor Han Sang-man, A New Dream of a Top Nation (Maekyung Economist)
- December 9th marks the 3rd anniversary of Chairman Kim Woo-jung's death. Chairman Kim founded Daewoo Industries at the age of 30 in 1967 with a capital of 5 million won and made Daewoo the second largest group in the business world in 30 years in 1997. Chairman Kim said, "The world is wide and there are many things to do." which is still talked about in the population. The spirit of global management contained in these words implies a new dream that Korea needs now. With the challenging entrepreneurial spirit of entrepreneurs like Chairman Kim, Korea has created a miracle that no one in the world believed would happen. Over the past half century, the Korean people, united with their will to make Korea a prosperous country, have achieved dreams that no one can dream of together. The problem starts now. Currently, Korea has achieved its dream of becoming an advanced country, but it has not been able to create a new dream for the next 50 years. We need a new dream. Our new dream is for Korea to become a first-class country in the world and to become a country that manages the world. However, the path we must take to become a first-class nation must be completely different from the path we have taken until we become an advanced nation. We must create a new system that is completely different from the way we have been doing so far and lead countries around the world. The path we must take to become a first-class nation should not be a development-led model in which only companies develop and grow, but a model of coexistence and co-prosperity in which all stakeholders of companies develop together. We already have entrepreneurs who created this business model 100 years ago. Yoo Il-han, who founded Yuhan Corporation in 1926, said, "The biggest goal of a company is to pursue profits. But it should be earned in return for sincere business activities. And the profits from the company should be returned to the society that raised the company." he said. It is said that the goal of corporate management should be to achieve the common goal of pursuing profits and realizing a welfare society through sincere business activities. The 2nd and 3rd Yoo Il-han must come out in Korea now. Korea's global management is possible only through a new entrepreneurial spirit that pursues corporate profits and realizes a welfare society as a common goal. Whether Korea can go the way of a new world-class country that manages the world depends on how to create a virtuous cycle of business and social development. All countries around the world are in the dilemma of growing polarization and disparity in society while companies are growing. With such a system, it cannot become a country that manages the world. Businesses create new values while actively responding to changes in society and the environment, and the nation creates a system so that the new values created by businesses can become a driving force for the common prosperity of society, not just economic profits for businesses, will run the world. After all, the virtuous cycle system of corporate and social development is the path of new capitalism that the whole world wants to go. The path to a new first-rate country cannot be created by individual companies. In modern society, the competence and competitiveness of the corporate ecosystem determine the outcome, not the competence of individual companies. In the past, it was an era in which the competition was decided by the capabilities of individual companies, but in the future, competition will be decided by the capabilities of the business ecosystem, suppliers and partners, and the industrial ecosystem to which the company belongs. In a new ecosystem, anyone with a new idea can create a company, and the company's capabilities must be combined with the ecosystem's capabilities to act as a new growth engine. The country that can create the world's most competitive innovation and win-win ecosystem will become the country that manages the world. On the third anniversary of Chairman Kim's death, Korea needs to look back on Chairman Kim's world management. What kind of dream does Korea have right now? We need a new dream of a first-class nation.

- Conducted the 2022 Business Administration Global Challenge (Germany) & interviewed Kang Tae-woo (Business 21) student
-
The College of Business visited Germany for 10 days from November 3 to 14 as a global challenge to the Department of Business Administration in 2022. It was conducted to provide opportunities for business students with insufficient global experience to participate in global seminars, expand their horizons, and pave the way for growth as global leaders. The visiting country is Berlin, Germany, and participated in the International Week on Sustainability program hosted by the Berlin School of Economics and Law(BSEL). A total of 10 students were selected in consideration of interest and passion for document screening and ESG fields, the expected effect of the tour, self-introduction, initiative, and sincerity. They participated in sustainability week with 10 selected students for 10 days and conducted more than 6 hours of classes every day. They were able to develop a global perspective and broaden their knowledge on political, ethical, and data statistical approaches to sustainability and related keywords such as circular economy, SDGs, and CSR. Lee Seon-min, a student who participated in this Global Challenge, said, “The best part of taking various classes is not simply sitting and taking lectures, but it is a participation format where you have to create a result by forming a group with students of various nationalities participating in the conference. It was good,” he said. In addition, student Kwak Hyeon-soo said, "It was a time for me to grow myself by encountering and experiencing many new things as well as ESG and Sustainability in Germany, the main axis of the EU."
1. Hello, please introduce yourself first. Hello. My name is Kang Tae-woo, and I entered Sungkyunkwan University as a 21st year student. 2. What motivated you to participate in the 2022 Business Administration Global Challenge (Germany)? The reason why I participated in the 2022 Business Administration Global Challenge (Germany) came from a simple desire for a country called Europe that I usually had. It seems that learning something from a continent I have never been to, Europe, rather than learning something only in Korea, is so attractive that I participated. 3. What activities did you do there? Also, what is the most memorable? Activities in Berlin were largely divided into two parts. Life at school and life outside school were divided into two. Life at school was on average from 8:00 to 4:30, except for an hour for lunch, I took classes all the time. However, this class was not a simple one-way class, but an interactive class where the professor and students communicated, and most of the classes were conducted as team projects. Teaming up with new classmates every day, I mainly engaged in discussions and presentations on climate issues and sustainability, conversing in full English with students from various countries such as Spain, England, the United States, Slovakia, and the Netherlands. At this time, the most memorable thing was that I teamed up with other people, presented the SDGs results discussed with the team members in English in front of all class members for about 3 minutes, and had a Q&A session. In addition, I had time to see and feel the culture of Germany's famous cultural tourist attractions, such as the Berlin Wall and the Berlin Dom. The most memorable place in the process of touring Berlin like this seems to be the rooftop of the Berlin Dom. 4. What did you learn from this global challenge? Through the Global Challenge, I learned sustainability knowledge such as ESG managements and SDGs, and I think I learned how to speak English as much as Korean for most of the day for about 10 days without being nervous when talking to people from other countries speak English. 5. What are your future plans? From a short-term perspective, my future plan is to enlist in the military in January of 2023 and prepare for internships and exchange students to Europe in 2025 when I am discharged in 24. And from the second half of 2025, I think I will start preparing for a startup, which has been my long-time goal. -

- Interview with Song Eun-young (GBA, class of 10), alumnus, regarding her appointment as a professor at City University
- Song Eun-young, a 10th class of Global Business Administration at our university, is currently teaching at City University of Hong Kong with a major in Marketing Consumer Psychology. She says it is important to choose a role model, because it helps me to specify when and how I should do it, and it gives me confidence that I can do it because he did it. Hear more details through interviews. 1. Hello, nice to meet you. Please introduce yourself and the field you are currently researching! Hello, nice to meet you. I am studying marketing, especially Consumer Behavior. I'm mainly researching how new technologies, especially smartphones and algorithms, affect people's consumption decisions. 2. I heard that you are a professor of marketing at City Univ. of Hong Kong. I'm curious about the process of getting hired. Please explain why you applied. The most important thing for me was the environment where I could do my research freely. The university in Hong Kong are all public, so the government's funding for research is very abundant, and there are many environments that give consideration to focus on research. Also, I came to Hong Kong because it is geographically close to Korea, so I was fascinated by the fact that I can travel with my family and friends more often. The process of getting hired is long and complicated, but to sum it up, by the end of my Ph.D., I'm going to participate in a big conference event called 'job market' and pass it after two interviews. Is it similar to the process of corporate public recruitment? More specifically, when the 'job market' opens, you apply to schools by creating a package of papers you're working on and what kind of researcher you're going to be, just like you're applying to a company. After that, the selected successful candidates will have the first round of interviews, and the first round will be mainly one-to-many interviews, which will briefly introduce themselves and research topics for 20 to 30 minutes. After that, the selected successful candidates will conduct the second interview. During the second interview, usually visit the school for about 2 nights and 3 days, but I replaced it with zoom due to COVID-19. I have one-on-one interviews with professors at the school for a day or two, present my thesis for an hour and a half to two hours, and meet with the dean, the head of the school's administrative posts related to the recruitment of professors. If you visit the school in person, on the evening after the schedule, you attend a party and have closer and personal time with the department professors. After that, the school finally decides the successful candidates through meetings and votes. 3. Until recently, there must have been a lot of disruptions in lectures due to COVID-19. How did you overcome it in Hong Kong? I did the all the classes online, but I think students must have had a harder time than I did. My class is called Business Case Analysis and Communication, so 'communication' is a must, but it was not easy for students to participate freely online. In order to overcome the limitations, I made a lot of efforts, and I often had small zoom meetings with student outside of class, and I tried to receive continuous feedback and reflect it. 4. What are some of the most memorable activities you participated in during your undergraduate days? In fact, during my undergraduate years, I didn't get very good grades or participate in extracurricular activities. I wasn't faithful to my studies or school life, and I was very interested in fashion, so I was busy doing various activities in that field. However, the marketing class I took in the first semester of the fourth grade was a good experience. Luckily, I was able to gain research experience as a research assistant(RA) when I was an undergraduate, so I was able to take a Ph.D. program right away without doing a master's degree. At that time, I realized how fun and happy research was while doing RA and dreamed of a career as a professor. 5. If you have any research results published by the conference or papers published in famous journals, please introduce them together. Most recently, our top journal, the Journal of Marketing Research, published a paper titled Phone and Self: How Smartphone Use Increases the Preference for Uniqueness. The paper found that when consumers use smartphones, they make choices that show their individually compared to when they use ordinary computers. 6. Please tell me about your future research plan. I plan to study how the use of smartphones affects people's behavior. We're studying not only consumer behavior, but also how smartphones affect people's social relationships and cognitive abilities. 7. If you have a chance to visit your alma mater, where do you want to go the most? What's the reason. Actually, I visited Sungkyunkwan University for the first time in a long time this early summer, but all the stores I liked and went to often disappeared...(Crying) I liked a really small coffee-take-out restaurant called 'Holic' in front of the main gate and a cafe that used to bake and sell delicious cakes called 'Ramblas', but both of them seemed to have gone bankrupt. It was such a bummer. If I may recommend a place that still exists... Um... Waffle at the faculty hall? I remember going to eat waffles after lunch. 8. Lastly, please tell me what you want to say or give advice to your juniors at Sungkyunkwan University's business school. (feat. Business school students preparing for employment abroad) I think role models are important. A role model helps me shape when, what, and how, and gives me confidence that I can do it because he's done it. And if I follow my role model, I think I can achieve a virtuous cycle of becoming someone's role model someday. I sincerely support you to find your own role model and become someone else's role model.
