- S-ONE, ‘Campus saladents’ running in competitive job market
- S-ONE, ‘Campus saladents’ running in a competitive job market Six staff members of S-ONE, the Administrative Strategy Association at Sungkyunkwan University, pose from left Soon-Myung Lee (25), Seon-Hwa Park (21), Hoon Heo (25), Seon-Kyung Hag Lee (23), Eun-ji Lee (21), and Seung-Yeon Huh (22). They are the so called campus saladents, meaning half student and half salaried worker. Hoon Heo, S-ONE president, gave a presentation on Lotte Confectionery’s new product development at the end of last month. “Recently premium snacks have been gaining popularity over snacks in a bag. So, I focused my presentation to Lotte’s marketing team on that point. Even though they don’t accept 100% of our ideas, it seems that they rate students’ fresh ideas highly,” he said. S-ONE carries out industry-academia cooperation projects and internships at various corporations. In the fall semester, the group’s members developed an idea for an energy beverage which has been selling since the spring. During the last semester, S-ONE’s twenty-five members typically gathered together for three hours every night. As campus saladents they carry the burden of studying by day and working by night. Originally saladents referred to students who worked during the daytime and studied at nighttime in a graduate school or other academic institute, although now the trend has shifted. This is due to higher tuition fees and the severe unemployment rate. Students no longer wait to get a job but rather actively knock on the doors of conglomerates to obtain opportunities for participating on projects or to hold events in order to promote themselves. 『Source – excerpt from JoongAng Ilbo July 27th, 2010』

- Professor Dong-Ok Cha, civilian official of the Lottery Commission
- [Weekly DongA COVER STORY] “Lottery is a tonic for life and a friend helping the underprivileged” Lottery ticket costs only 500 won or 1,000 won. Compared to other forms of gambling, the lottery is an easily accessible means for trying one`s luck. Regardless of its easy accessibility and cheap cost, there is at least one person who cannot buy a lottery ticket. He is Professor Dong-Ok Cha, a faculty member of Sunkyunkwan University Business School and also a civilian official of the Lottery Commission. He is an admirer of the lottery and loves the lottery more than almost anyone. The reason why he cannot buy a lottery ticket is because of a regulation which prohibits lottery-related officials from buying any lottery tickets. “I used to buy lottery tickets before but not anymore,” said Professor Cha. Adding that there is nothing which excites like a lottery. “People used to have such high hopes that they thought it would be a waste of money if they failed to win. Now the lottery is regarded as just a leisure activity. Even though they didn’t win the lottery, many people felt their hearts were full in that they had helped low-income people and the underprivileged.” The Lottery Commission was introduced in 2004 and is affiliated with the Ministry of Strategy and Finance. It is charged with the authority and responsibility to oversee the lottery and to ensure its integrity, security and fairness. The Lottery Commission is composed of 21 members including civil officials and government officials under the chairman who is the vice minister of the Ministry of Strategy and Finance. Professor Cha has been working as a civil official since 2008. The civil officials of the Commission meet at least once a month and set policies for the operation of the lottery. The commission determines the types and forms of games offered by the lottery, determines the percentages of money paid for a ticket that is paid out in prizes, determines the price of each game and the number and size of prizes in that game, and decides how to use the net revenue effectively on government projects for lower income groups and to promote arts, sciences and sports. Professor Cha once had a critical mind on the negative impact of the lottery but his mind has changed now. He said that more than 40 percent of the net revenue is spent on numerous fruitful projects like supporting low-income residences running night classrooms for underprivileged children, and supporting multicultural families and other benefits. Adding, “The lottery is getting someone’s laughter, dream, and hope.” Lotteries in colonial America played a significant part in the financing of both private and public ventures. It has been recorded that more than two hundred lotteries were sanctioned between 1744 and 1776 where they played a major role in financing projects that included roads, libraries, churches, colleges, canals, and bridges. In the 1740s, Princeton and Columbia University had their beginnings financed by lotteries, as did the University of Pennsylvania by the Academy Lottery in 1755. Presently, many state lotteries in the USA donate large portions of their proceeds to the public education system. “When I participated in the World Lottery Conference, I found that there was a country which has a long lottery history over 150 years among 140 countries participated in the conference. On the contrary, lottery operation in Korea is still very limited and it is under government control in many parts.” If the increased revenue of the lottery is spent effectively on various projects for the public’s interests, the lottery operation in Korea will be improved as those abroad. If people recognize buying lottery tickets as a form of donation and enjoy buying the tickets, then the side effect of the lottery will be minimized. 「Source - excerpt from Weekly DongA 747 Issue』

- Asian Leaders Rush to Korea MBA Schools!
- Asian Leaders Rush to Korean MBA Schools! ■ SKKU Business School accredited first in Korea In December 1997 the SKKU Business School was the first program of its kind in Korea to be accredited by the Korean Ministry of Education. As business becomes increasingly global, opportunities are emerging for a new breed of business strategists. SKKU Business School has two full-time programs, the Asia MBA and SKK Graduate School of Business (GSB) MBA, and two part-time programs, the Evening MBA (EMBA) and iMBA. SKK GSB has benchmarked its curriculum after MIT Sloan, one of the top MBA programs in the world, and has been collaborating with Indiana Kelley Business School as well. Even though GSB is part of the SKKU Business School, it runs independently as an authentic American–style MBA program, and it is in positive competition with Asia MBA, according to Sungkyunkwan University. ■ Asia MBA program produces business leaders for Asia region The Asia MBA program is one of the best business graduate degree programs in Korea. This dynamic, innovative program positions graduates to capitalize on opportunities in this new era of an Asia-driven international economy. Admission to this program requires passing an English interview. All courses are taught in English and Asia MBA students acquire global mindsets and knowledge through Asia study trips, internships and various exchange programs. The Asia MBA is characterized by mutual cooperation with prestigious MBA schools in Asia like Thammasat University in Thailand, University of Melbourne in Australia, Peking University in China, Waseda University in Japan, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology among others. Asia MBA students visit companies and several partner universities and attend lectures from renowned local professors through study trips offered every semester. One of the strong points of the Asia MBA program is that students gain international experience through the international educational atmosphere created by studying with international students from all over the world, including students from China, America, Mexico, the Czech Republic, European countries and others. ■ EMBA, the most innovative evening MBA program The EMBA (Evening MBA) helps businesspeople and executives to master the skills to become international leaders. This MBA degree can be earned by attending one or two lectures a week over a two-year period. Friday Special Lectures is a unique course of the EMBA program which invites prominent, innovative leaders who provide insight into their leadership experiences as well as refined knowledge of business, culture and the arts. In addition, the EMBA offers Innovative Cases of Enterprises in which each team of five members runs a research project over one year focusing on the innovative cases of enterprises. Full-time business school faculty provide more than 70% of the lectures ensuring the EMBA program offers professional education and the highest quality lectures to students. Lectures begin at 7:00 PM and end at 11:00PM weekdays. In order to graduate, students must get a minimum B average, pass the English exam, submit the innovation report (3rd and 4th semester), and acquire 45 credits. ■ iMBA, the Internet based MBA iMBA is the highest quality 100% on-line MBA degree program in Korea. This program is designed for students who are unable to come to campus to attend lectures. This is the perfect MBA program for students facing limitations of time and place. The iMBA program was established in 2003 and has graduated over 600 students. All lectures are delivered by SKKU full-time business school faculty. iMBA students and faculty communicate through video Q&A sessions with the iMBA offering weekend on/off-line lectures and a tutor system for students’ convenience. The iMBA program is well known for its problem-solving teaching method and strict school affairs. SKKU full-time faculty aim to maximize core competences and problem-solving skills through immersion and case-centered education rather than the traditional one-way theory-centered teaching method. Through Asia MBA and GSB, Sungkyunkwan University aims to offer the best Asia-focused MBA program and to be among the world’s top 100 MBA programs by 2015. 「Source – excerpt from Financial News August 20th, 2010』 ● 인터뷰 동영상 : http://www.fnnews.com/view?ra=Sent1501m_View&corp=fnnews&arcid=100820172448&cDateYear=2010&cDateMonth=08&cDateDay=22

- SKKU Business School ranked over SNU in BK21 evaluation
- On September 3, the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology announced that the Global Business Leader Program of SKKU Business School has taken 2nd place, over both Seoul National University (SNU) and Sogang University, in the 4th Annual Evaluation of the 2nd phase of BrainKorea 21 (BK21). The program’s 2nd place ranking guarantees BK21 support for various projects during the upcoming fifth year of the program. BK21 is a government program aimed at producing Korea’s next generation of creative leaders. The program supports students in Master's and PhD degree courses as well as post-graduate researchers. Based on the achievements of the 1st phase (1999-2005), the 2nd phase (2006-2012) of BK21 will further facilitate the introduction and establishment of systems at research-oriented universities. BK 21 recognizes the necessity to develop Korea's human resources in key areas, such as core and original technologies, as well as new growth engines, which will drive future economic growth. SKKU Business School MBA has differentiated its program into a unique Korean MBA competing with SNU, Korea University, and Yonsei University in order to meet BK21’s objective to develop qualified human resources and specialized world-class research–oriented universities. SKKU Business School’s 2nd place ranking is especially meaningful in light of the many project teams that have dropped out due to the tightening evaluation criteria. On the basis of this accomplishment, SKKU Business School is confident to achieve its goal of being ranked among the top 100 business schools worldwide.
