- On "Digital Assets Investments: Challenges and Opportunities", moderated by Prof. Youngju Nielsen
- Last month, Prof. Youngju Nielsen moderated a session on “Digital Assets Investments: Challenges and Opportunities”. The session was at an exclusive investment event hosted by VNX, a financial service organization supported by Luxembourg’s Ministry of the Economy. The event mainly concerned investment opportunities during turbulent times, especially in traditional and crypto markets. Prof. Nielsen led discussions mainly about opportunities in the crypto market, with three panels including the CEO of VNX, Mr. Alexander Tkachenko. As the market is still in its early stage, she expressed skepticism initially, but continually elicited experts’ trend analyses, regulations, future suggestions, and so on. At the end of the event, there was a ceremony awarding a commemorative NFT from the VNX Gold Genesis Collection created for VNX by South Korean visual artist Dr. Jeonghyun Ha. Dr. Ha is known for expressing childlike innocence in her work.

- In gatherings, the more, the merrier! Among SKK GSB's programs, the Professional MBA (PMBA) has the most students. Four PMBA cohorts—the 11th to the 14th—gathered near Gangnam in mid-December to enjoy the essence of 'the more, the better,' celebrating the year-end, and welcoming the new year. The students cherished the moments they had shared, putting aside for a moment their packed life of juggling academic, work, and family life; and the PMBA student council even organized a magic show for everyone to enjoy. All PMBA students have done a good job this year, and we look forward to making more memories with you in 2023. Happy New Year!

- [Professor Interview] Professor Anthony Kim: Oracle, Amazon... Be open-minded inside and outside the classroom
- Professor Anthony Kim, who joined SKK GSB this fall as a Decision Sciences professor, discusses his background, life before his academic career, and school experiences. - Please introduce yourself briefly. My name is Anthony Kim. I teach Quantitative Analysis for Business Decisions and Statistics for Analytics at SKK GSB. My research interests are online advertising, revenue management, game theory and online decision making. Before coming to SKK GSB, I worked in the U.S. tech industry for some time. I was an applied scientist at Amazon in the New York office. Before Amazon, I was a postdoctoral researcher in the Decision, Risk, and Operations Division of Columbia Business School, following my Ph.D. at Stanford University. I also have worked as a software engineer at Oracle before pursuing my Ph.D. - What made you decide to go into teaching? I decided to go into teaching because I want to teach MBA students and help them grow to become future business leaders in global organizations. In SKK GSB’s world-class MBA programs, I have wonderful opportunities to interact with and teach students from different countries. The fact that I can support these MBA students in their growth process motivates me. - How do you enjoy teaching at SKK GSB so far? I enjoy teaching at SKK GSB. I teach Quantitative Analysis for Business Decisions and Statistics for Analytics, covering fundamental concepts people use when working with large data sets to understand and make business decisions. I have learned and used these concepts in various settings over the years. These are essential concepts, and it is an excellent opportunity for me to teach the concepts and skills to students. - Please briefly talk about your research focus and recent paper publication. As a graduate student and a postdoctoral researcher, I worked on research problems in online advertising, revenue management, game theory and online decision making. I'm interested in these areas. More specifically, I have worked on ad campaign budget management strategies, which are different ways to help advertisers efficiently manage their daily ad campaign budgets. There are several different ways and I have studied their various characteristics such as revenue and incentive properties. I have also researched advertisement contracts, informationally robust mechanisms, and vehicle routing problems related to ride and delivery services. - Do you have any advice for students in your class? My advice for students in my class would be to be open-minded inside and outside the classroom. Of course, that's easier said than done, but there are many great ideas out there, and it takes time to digest them, appreciate them, and see their value. It is important to stay open-minded and recognize learning opportunities at unexpected times. You should also actively seek opportunities to learn. That can involve taking risks, but it's important to test the boundary of your comfort zone. Samantha Marchner and Supisara Kitpipit, SKK GSB PR Committee, Class of 2024

- Introduction of MMS (Master in Management Studies) Program
- The Master in Management Studies (MMS) program is a two-year academic program exposing students to the managerial skills sought by companies to meet sustainable development needs and the challenges of disruptive change brought about by advances in information and technology. The program is run jointly by EDHEC Business School and SKK GSB, and is officially called the Master in Management, Global Economic Transformation & Technology (GETT). Students experience local cultures while studying at prestigious institutions in Paris, Seoul, and Berkeley to cultivate global thinking and innovative problem-solving skills. Recently, SKK GSB and EDHEC admission officers held an online info session for those who are new to this fascinating program. To improve participants' understanding, the session consisted of a thorough introduction to the program, the application process, and scholarship benefits, followed by a Q&A session. Many potential applicants took advantage of this rare opportunity to ask questions directly to admission officers, and these were answered immediately. Questions included: · Do we need to understand French to take this program? (No, the whole program is taught in English.) and · After how many years' work experience can we skipping the internship year? (One full year.) MMS program application opens every year, so if anyone missed the last one, please keep up with our event schedule. SKK GSB and EDHEC also support one another at on-site events. In October, there were celebrations in Paris and Lille, France. Prof. Andrew Yi, Vice Dean at SKK GSB, attended these to celebrate the program's graduates, and to welcome new students. In the ceremony, he looked forward to receiving these students in Korea. Prof. Michelle Sisto, Associate Dean at EDHEC, also advised the students to explore professional paths, and to use their talents wisely and responsibly. Reflecting on her experiences, Ms. Helene Guo, a recent graduate, made the following comment: "We have studied in three different countries, and we have experienced unforgettable moments. We all came as strangers, and now we leave as friends." For further inquiries on MMS, our admission team is ready to assist you. You can contact us at fmba.skkgsb@skku.edu or +82-2-740-1530.
