Sang-kyun Kim, Director of Cheil
Industries, says “KAIST MBA is very helpful for making more personal
connections.”
Sang-kyun Kim, Director of Cheil
Industries, says “Students of part-time MBA programs are on the way to becoming
board members. They think that these programs are very helpful not only for
learning business strategies but also for making more personal connections.”
Kim entered KAIST’s Executive MBA
program in 2011. He completed classes opened on Fridays and weekends and
received his degree successfully. Kim, already had a Ph.D. in chemistry at
Harvard, said that “I had participated in developing electrical materials as a
scientist, but I decided to enroll in the MBA program as I took the role as
manager. To define business as the way of deriving a desired result from using
resources efficiently, I really learned business in the MBA program.
Kim also said that “R&D Projects in
the company requires the process of managing a schedule, gathering human power,
and evaluating investments. Case studies in MBA courses taught me business
strategies related to personnel and organization management, financial
accounting, and finding solutions to the problem.”
To the question of holding down a job
and studying at the same time, he said “I could do both of them with the
support of colleagues and family members. Students should have a strong
willingness to study hard considering their solicitude.”
