- [Maeil Business News] 'Good Professor, Good Lecture'
- Maeil Business Newspaper 'Good Professor, Good Lecture' Prof. Raunaq Pungaliya at SKK GSB Sungkyunkwan University As Korea enters the AI-driven 4th industrial revolution, businesses will require managers with both a clear understanding of business priorities and deep analytical skills to make business sense of the data around them. Top-tier managers with this skill set are rare and highly prized throughout the world. Moreover, as the business environment evolves, many professionals are concerned that their existing education will become obsolete. Business Analytics is one of the fastest growing fields worldwide. According to Professor Raunaq Pungaliya of SKK GSB , “The reason for this is simple – businesses are creating an incredibly rich amount of data. Good businesses have always strived to use data to make better business decisions, but the very best businesses view data as a means of competitive advantage.” In order to fill this important gap in business education in Korea, Professor Raunaq Pungaliya of SKK GSB is helping to introduce a new and cutting-edge MS in Business Analytics (MS BA) specially designed with working professionals in mind. The academic curriculum for the program has been carefully curated with the needs of both large businesses and startups, so graduates of the program will be ready to contribute in analytics roles almost immediately. Specifically, students will be trained not only in hard skills such as Python, R, AI-based predictive models, and big data tools and techniques, but also more importantly in how these tools can be readily applied to business applications. He strongly believes that effective teaching and student achievement best takes place when students are engaged in and excited about learning, and when they can connect their learning to their own lives and the real world. Thus, as with all GSB programs, the MS in Business Analytics will draw heavily upon SKK GSB’s core teaching philosophy of action-based learning or learning by doing as students will be required to think critically, analyze, and develop analytical solutions to solve real business problems throughout their coursework and in a capstone Applied Business Project. Professor Pungaliya teaches topics related to Investments, Capital Markets, and International Finance at SKK GSB to MBA and MS students, and will also be teaching FinTech and Banking Analytics in the MS BA program. Emilie Touvet, MMS exchange student from EDHEC Business School, said “Professor Pungaliya is a challenging and attentive professor, truly available for his students. His class was lively, with a large variety of content and a genuine student involvement through questions and group news presentation.” Professor Raunaq Pungaliya is an Associate Professor of Finance and the Faculty-Chair of Full-Time MBA and MS Programs at SKK Graduate School of Business at Sungkyunkwan University. He joined SKK Graduate School of Business in 2010. Since then he has been a recipient of multiple teaching excellence awards in 2011, 2015, 2016, 2018, and 2019. His research work focuses on corporate banking and debt markets and has been presented at major conferences such as the American Finance Association and the American Accounting Association Annual Meetings and published in leading academic journals such as the Accounting Review, Management Science, and the Journal of Financial and Quantitative Analysis.

- [Who We R] Whitely Pannell, FMBA'21
- Whitely Pannell, FMBA’21, discovered SKK GSB through the law school at Indiana University. Now she is taking to the next level for her JD and will get dual degree at SKK GSB – Indiana University Maurer School of Law. "I discovered Sungkyunkwan University Graduate School of Business (SKK GSB) through my law school at Indiana University. SKK GSB and Indiana have a strategic partnership where law students complete their first year of law school and journey to Seoul to study business for a year." "The law students complete the program on an accelerated schedule and return to Indiana to complete their law degree. I saw this as an amazing opportunity because it offers the chance to gain an additional degree in a field that will assist me during my career." "I also understood the benefit of having an international experience at a globally ranked business school. Since being at SKK GSB, I’ve become more culturally aware and I’ve learned how to work and communicate with people from all over the world. This will certainly be a benefit when entering a job market that is continually becoming more globalized." "Prior to coming to SKK GSB, I had no knowledge about business. I studied politics and pre-law during undergrad and it was a natural progression for me to pursue law school next, but I always thought about the possibility of pursuing a joint JD/MBA. It was almost fate that this opportunity was revealed to me." "During my time here I’ve taken multiple classes in all fields applicable to business: finance, marketing, management, and accounting. I’ve learned so much about economics, monetary and fiscal policy, marketing and branding, investing, how accounts work, and how different markets operate." "The knowledge and business principles that I’ve gained from these classes has without a doubt strengthened my skill set and has helped mold me into a stronger candidate for the American workforce." "After I complete this year at SKK GSB, I will go to New York to embark on my summer internship before returning to Indiana in the fall." "I still have two years of law school to complete. Law school is normally three years, but my decision to pursue an MBA added an extra year to my educational journey." "I will graduate in 2022 with my other three classmates who are also SKK GSB fellows: @Michelle Johnston @Michael Osborne @Samuel Russell. We will be the only students from our law school class who will graduate with both a Juris Doctorate and a Masters in Business Administration." - Whitley Pannell, FMBA'21 #SKKGSB #SKKU #MBA #FMBA #JD #kellyschoolofbusiness #indianauniversity #성균관대 #성균관대학교 #대학원 #경영전문대학원

- Interview with students from Dartmouth-Tuck and IU Kelley school
- From early Jan 2020 to early Mar 2020, six American students from Dartmouth-Tuck and IU Kelley school attended an exchange student program at SKK GSB. Nicole Nava (Tuck, Class of 2020) and Alice YI (Kelley, Class of 2020) shared their feelings about their Study Abroad Program in SKK GSB in Korea. Why did you choose SKK GSB to study abroad? Nicole: I chose SKK GSB because I wanted the opportunity to live and study in Asia. After enjoying an undergrad exchange program in Europe, I really wanted the chance to live in a new environment. I have been to Seoul before and absolutely loved it! It's a wonderful city filled with many things to do, and I knew this would be a once in a lifetime chance! Alice: I chose to study at SKKU because it was an opportunity for me to live in Korea. While I’ve visited Seoul many times before, this would be a new experience for me to live and study here. What impressed you most in Korea and SKKU? Nicole: Besides food, I would have to say the overall infrastructure and community in Seoul and SKK GSB have impressed me the most. Coming from New York, I am consistently impressed by public transport and the respect everyone has for each other and the environment around them. Community is a huge thing for me and is the major reason I chose Tuck as my full time MBA program. I am happy to find a similar feeling here at SKK GSB. Alice: The food and transportation system always impress me in Korea. Delivery is incredibly fast and there are so many options. How did you feel about the class and what did you learn from SKK GSB? Nicole: Everyone in class has been so welcoming! I'm taking both full time and executive MBA courses and have loved all of my classmates. Everyone comes with a different experience, and I have thoroughly enjoyed how international the classes are. Alice: The classes I took in SKK GSB are not too difficult for me. It’s been a great experience to learn with classmates from different cultures and backgrounds. Yin Lin, SKK GSB PR Committee, Class of 2021

- On Negotiating a good Agreement
- Do you want to get the best offer? Do you want to build a long relationship with your partner? Adam Castor, a professor of SKK GSB raised these questions while delivering his lecture on Negotiations to the students of SKK GSB, Kelley, Tuck, and EDHEC this semester. Professor Castor’s class teaches students the essential tools of negotiation, to help them to improve their negotiation skills as well as to let them understand their strengths and weaknesses and improve their negotiation style in their lifetime. A good negotiator is usually well prepared before the negotiation starts. • BATNA: Best backup plan to a negotiated agreement A successful Negotiation usually has a good planning strategy. Prepare 2 -3 options during the planning • Reservation price: Worst offer you’re willing to accept Analyze how important each issue is to you and your opponents. • Bargaining zone: Range between buyer and seller’s reservation prices • Target price: Ideal agreement A good negotiator usually has the following motivation. The smarter negotiator appears to be able to understand his or her opponents' real interests and thus to provide them with better deals at lower cost, which is the cornerstone of integrative negotiations. Top negotiators always have a win-win motivation. Cognitive ability tends to reach the best agreement for both parties. With that attitude, ask more questions during the negotiations and try to understand the other party’s situation. Understand their style. Different negotiators have different personal or cultural preferences. Many Western cultures have a quick-paced approach to negotiations, while it can be a little different for Asian cultures. To find the tradeoffs and creative solutions that ensure that everyone gets a fair deal, you have to share information about your needs and priorities. The extent to which you trust the other party should determine your approach to sharing and collecting information. Usually, the best chance for a good agreement comes from both parties trusting each other and disclosing information on each side and trying to find the best solution for both sides. This also can build a long-term relationship. A good negotiator usually follows these steps during the negotiation. It gives fewer reasons to support arguments. Tries to make the first offer, usually the recipients use the first offer as an anchor and they do not adjust a lot within their Bargaining zone. The people who make the first offer generally win the negotiation. Asks counterparts to explain their reasoning, and sometimes waits for a response or threatens to walk away. Adam Castor holds a Ph.D. in Managerial Science & Applied Economics from the Wharton School of Business. He was an Instructor at the Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, and is now a professor of SKK GSB. Yin Lin, SKK GSB PR Committee, Class of 2021
