- [Student Interview] Gi-Jae Chang (Business '22) — Dean’s Award for Academic Excellence and Research Capability
- 1. Hello! Could you please introduce yourself to our readers? Hello, I am Gi-Jae Chang from the Class of '22, majoring in Business Administration at Sungkyunkwan University. I graduated in the summer of 2026. It is a pleasure to meet you all. 2. We heard that you received the Dean’s Award for Academic Excellence and Research Capability at the 2026 Summer Commencement. Could you share your thoughts on receiving this honor? It is a great honor, and I honestly feel I was just fortunate. I felt dazed when I first received the phone call about the award, and I still am! But one thing is for sure—I am truly happy. It feels like I am walking away with a great boost of courage and energy! 3. You graduated with exceptional grades! Do you have any personal tips or know-how for achieving such great results? I have thought a lot about what truly matters, and I believe four key elements are essential: 1) departmental fit/talent, 2) diligence/intrinsic motivation, 3) strategy, and 4) luck. Departmental fit or talent may not be massive factors, but they serve as great fuel for maintaining diligence. After all, it is hard to stay motivated if you find something uninteresting and the results are poor. Of course, you cannot take only exciting classes throughout college, but generally, when your interests align with the subject and yield good results, it becomes much easier to study consistently. Diligence and the intrinsic motivation to sustain it are the most crucial factors in achieving high GPAs. Intrinsic motivation can look like a grand passion for something, but it can also simply be the mindset of, "What else am I going to do if I don't even try this?" Strategy is something everyone knows, but it is also the easiest to overlook. You must do your absolute best to build an optimal timetable for achieving results. By an "optimal timetable," I do not mean cherry-picking schedules with long breaks between classes or hunting for so-called "easy-A" courses. Just keep two things in mind: take classes that genuinely interest you and those where your effort will realistically translate into results. If you ignore the former, a task that should take an hour will drag on for three or four. If you ignore the latter, you might attend class happily only to feel betrayed and disillusioned in the end. As for luck, if you have a solid strategy, it doesn't play a massive role at the individual course level. However, claiming the top spot overall seems to squarely belong in the realm of luck. 4. Were there any campus or extracurricular activities you participated in? Please introduce the most memorable one. I served as the vice president of "FR," an SKKU financial engineering student society, and as a vocalist for the band club "Moyeorak." I also worked as a Teaching Assistant (TA) for the SKKU International Summer Semester (ISS). Without a doubt, the most memorable moment was performing on stage at the Dae-dong-je. I loved being able to run around freely on stage! Because I had a relatively short run with the band, I always felt regretful that I couldn’t perform on the Eskara stage, so getting another chance to perform like that was incredible. I honestly wish I could have sung on stage during the graduation ceremony just like back then... I have a bit of lingering regret about that! 5. Are there any classes you took that left a strong impression on you? Professor Young-Seok Shin’s "Investment Analysis" and Professor Dong-Hoon Lee’s "Derivatives" courses come to mind. Since both professors are true veterans in the field, it was exceptionally impressive to hear practical insights from an industry perspective. I understand that both currently focus mostly on graduate-level lectures. Some graduate courses allow undergraduate enrollment and are graded on a pass/fail or absolute scale, so I strongly recommend them to anyone interested! 6. What are your future career plans and goals? My goal is to become a fund manager. Looking further ahead, my ultimate career objective is to become a portfolio manager who "makes good money while enjoying the work." 7. Finally, do you have any words of encouragement you would like to share with your fellow Business School students? :) Don't let what others say make you overly impatient, and don't fall into the traps of lethargy or laziness. Keep moving forward at your own pace. I plan to do the same.

- SKK Business School Holds 2026 Summer Commencement Ceremony, Celebrating 404 Graduates
- SKK Business School held its 2026 Summer Commencement Ceremony at 11:00 AM on Saturday, August 22, at the Millennium Hall (B2) of the 600th Anniversary Building on the Humanities and Social Sciences Campus. The ceremony was attended by graduates, their families, and faculty members to celebrate the culmination of academic achievements and cheer on the graduates as they embark on their new journeys. A total of 404 degrees were conferred during the ceremony. By program, the graduates included 179 from the Department of Business Administration, 37 from the Department of Global Business Administration, 11 Master’s candidates from the Department of Business Administration (General Graduate School), 16 from the Fintech Convergence Major, 38 from the Executive MBA (EMBA), 3 from the Fintech MBA, 15 from the Department of Insurance and Finance, 98 from the International MBA (IMBA), 16 Ph.D. candidates in Business Administration, and 1 Ph.D. candidate in the Fintech Convergence Major. In his congratulatory address, Dean Jong-Eun Lee emphasized that in an era of rapid change, the ability to correctly judge what ought to be done is far more important than merely knowing what can be done. He noted that while AI can provide various answers, it remains the role of humans to choose critical problems, verify answers, make judgments in uncertain situations, and take responsibility for the outcomes. He urged the graduates to cultivate deep expertise, a mindset of lifelong learning, and the courage to tackle difficult problems, alongside the ability to master new technologies. He also encouraged them not to fear differing thoughts and perspectives, but rather to develop into leaders who transform such diversity into fresh insights and better solutions rather than conflicts. Concluding his remarks, Dean Lee stated, "If you continuously learn based on your expertise, make sound judgments, and challenge yourselves with new things, change will become an opportunity rather than a crisis." He encouraged the graduates to cherish the values they create and the kind of lives they lead, grounded in the spirit of Yee-Ji (Humaneness and Wisdom) and business insights learned at SKKU, while cheering them on for their new beginnings. Meanwhile, the ceremony was marked by meaningful acts of sharing by the graduates. Class 116 of the Executive MBA (EMBA) presented a development fund of 4 million KRW, while Class 44 of the International MBA (IMBA) donated 5 million KRW to the graduate school development fund. This participation of graduating students in supporting their junior peers further added to the significance of the event, reinforcing the growth and solidarity within the SKK Business School community. Through this commencement ceremony, SKK Business School celebrated the fresh starts of 404 graduates who have dedicated themselves to their studies and research. The school remains committed to fostering talented individuals equipped with the expertise, insight, and responsibility required in a changing era, continuing to produce leaders who will shape the future society.

- Interview with Global Challenge Participant Chae-young Yoo (Business Administration 23) for the 2026 Academic
- 1. Hello! Could you please introduce yourself? Hello, my name is Chae-young Yoo (Student ID: 2023315993), a student in the Department of Business Administration at Sungkyunkwan University, and I participated in the 2025 and 2026 Global Challenge programs. 2. What inspired you to participate in the 2026 Business School Global Challenge? I previously participated in the 2025 Winter Global Challenge program. Taking classes in Belgium for three weeks alongside fellow business students and preparing a group project was an extraordinarily impactful experience that significantly broadened my perspective as a business student. Eager to once again experience taking classes at a foreign university, discussing ideas with students of various nationalities, and preparing presentations together, I decided to join the 2026 Summer Global Challenge. 3. What kind of activities did you engage in there, and what was your most memorable moment? At Rennes School of Business located in Rennes, France, I attended lectures on "Cross-Culture" based on the theories of Hofstede and Meyer, and delivered presentations sharing my perspectives. We also formed teams with students from as diverse nationalities as possible to research and prepare for our final presentations. Our team investigated strategies to mitigate cultural friction for a French national relocating to South Africa. It was a valuable opportunity to learn about the business culture of a somewhat unfamiliar country like South Africa. My most memorable activity was our group trip to the beach in Saint-Malo. The summer sea in France was breathtakingly beautiful. During regular class hours, it was somewhat difficult to bond with students from other teams, so spending time together at the beach made it an especially enjoyable experience. 4. What key insights or lessons did you gain through this Global Challenge? The common lesson I learned across both Global Challenge programs was the true value of cultural diversity. While everyone broadly acknowledges that cultures differ across countries, actually living abroad and conversing with students from various nations makes you realize just how profound those differences truly are. Reinforcing the core theme of this Global Challenge—cross-cultural dynamics—I learned once again that cultural diversity is a tangible reality, and that acknowledging and embracing these differences is crucial. I believe this kind of deep immersion is far more achievable by spending time working on diverse topics with people of multiple nationalities than by simply traveling abroad. For this reason, I highly recommend the Global Challenge program. 5. What are your plans for the future? The Global Challenge program helped me shape a new career trajectory. Studying alongside international students ignited my adventurous spirit, inspiring me to pursue further education abroad to conduct in-depth explorations of business and global corporate cultures. Consequently, I am currently preparing to apply for overseas business graduate schools, including KU Leuven in Belgium, where I studied during the 2025 Winter Global Challenge.

- Interview with Dr. Hee-Joo Kim (Ph.D. in Accounting) on Her Appointment as Assistant Professor at Jeonbuk National Unive
- 1. Congratulations on your new appointment! Could you please introduce yourself and briefly share your current research areas? It is a pleasure to greet you all. I earned my Ph.D. in Accounting from Sungkyunkwan University under the guidance of Professor Jong-Eun Lee, and my research focuses on behavioral accounting, which bridges psychology and accounting. Behavioral accounting examines how accounting information is perceived and utilized in the decision-making processes of individuals and corporations, focusing primarily on the psychological and behavioral factors of decision-makers. I am particularly interested in how decision-making can vary depending on the information recipient's perceptions and judgments, as well as the format in which the information is presented, even when the underlying accounting data is identical. 2. Could you share the journey that led to your faculty appointment at Jeonbuk National University, including your motivations and experiences? I began my career as a certified public accountant, which gave me diverse opportunities to experience accounting and regulatory issues within the financial industry. This practical exposure naturally sparked my interest in how institutional frameworks and accounting information impact corporate and market decisions. Rather than following a predetermined path toward academia from the outset, my transition into research grew organically from a deepening desire to systematically understand and investigate the various issues I encountered in the field. During my doctoral studies, I focused on translating these interests into concrete research questions. Subsequently, as a postdoctoral researcher and research professor at SKKU, I expanded my research topics and accumulated valuable experience, allowing me to refine my core research interests and long-term academic direction. When preparing for faculty positions, my priority was not merely securing an appointment, but finding an environment where I could continuously advance my research while integrating it with education. This journey ultimately led to this wonderful opportunity. 3. Could you introduce some of your notable research achievements, such as conference presentations or publications in prominent journals? Although my studies span various specific topics, they share a common core interest: how various stakeholders interpret information, make decisions, and behave within the accounting environment. As lead author, I published a paper titled "Extra Audit Hours Committed Beyond Contract and Auditors’ Voluntary Efforts" in the Accounting Research Journal (Scopus-indexed). Focusing on auditors' intrinsic motivation to fulfill professional responsibilities, this study empirically analyzed the drivers of voluntary effort and its impact on audit quality. Additionally, as lead author, I published "A Signaling Game between Retail Investors and Firms: ESG Washing as a Strategic Response" in Finance Research Letters (an SSCI-indexed journal). This paper explored the interaction between firms' voluntary disclosures and investors' information processing and decision-making through the economic lens of a dynamic signaling game. 4. What are your future research plans? Currently, my research investigates how corporate accounting information is utilized in capital market decision-making, as well as how corporate disclosures, accounting standards, and economic incentives influence firms and markets. Moving forward, I aim to systematically build a theoretical foundation for the field of behavioral accounting—which remains relatively unfamiliar in Korea—and apply it to various accounting phenomena. In particular, I hope to integrate the theoretical perspectives of neighboring disciplines, such as psychology and economics, with traditional accounting research methodologies to gain a deeper understanding of human judgment and behavior surrounding accounting information. 5. What is your philosophy or vision as an educator? I believe an ideal educator is someone who goes beyond merely transferring knowledge to helping students think critically and ask questions for themselves. Because each student has unique interests and career paths, rather than providing a single "correct answer," I strive to guide students in finding their own paths. Having navigated various career decisions and trial-and-error myself, I hope to share these experiences to help students make informed choices, which is deeply rewarding to me as an educator. 6. Do you have any advice for SKKU undergraduate and graduate students preparing for an academic career? I began my Ph.D. program in the year the COVID-19 pandemic started, which was also a critical juncture for transitioning from my previous career path to that of a researcher. At the time, people around me had many concerns about choosing such an unfamiliar path. Looking back, however, I realized that my prior experiences were not lost, but rather became valuable assets for my new research. Therefore, I would like to advise students not to excessively compare their own pace with that of others. Research often takes time to yield results, and becoming an accomplished researcher requires prolonged contemplation and patience. What matters most is discovering questions that genuinely fascinate you and cultivating the perseverance to explore them over the long term. Furthermore, rather than viewing a faculty appointment as your ultimate destination, I encourage you to first contemplate what kind of researcher you want to become and what questions you wish to explore. Excellent papers and academic opportunities naturally follow as the byproduct of such deep reflection and continuous research. If you steadily pursue your research while transforming your unique experiences into your own strengths, you will undoubtedly encounter great opportunities. I wish you all the best in your individual endeavors.

- Alumnus Eun-su Ahn (Global Business '11) holds a laptop donation ceremony for junior students
- On Friday, July 24, the Department of Global Business held a laptop donation ceremony for alumnus Eun-su Ahn (Global Business '11).The ceremony was attended by alumnus Eun-su Ahn, five students receiving the laptops, Dean Jong-eun Lee of the Business School, and the Administrative Office Director of the College of Economics, Business School, and Graduate School of China. This donation was made possible by the alumnus's heartfelt wish for junior students to focus on their studies in a better environment. Alumnus Eun-su Ahn shared that he had experienced difficulty using a high-performance laptop during his college days. Consequently, he decided to make this donation hoping that his junior students would have the opportunity to learn and grow in a slightly better environment. He also expressed the intention behind his donation, saying, "I believe that I am where I am today thanks not only to my own efforts, but also to the great help from the university and those around me. I wanted to return even a small portion of the help I received to my junior students." Dean Jong-eun Lee of the Business School also attended the ceremony, offering congratulations and encouragement to the students while expressing deep gratitude to the alumnus for making the difficult decision to practice meaningful sharing for his juniors. He also expressed hope that this positive influence would lead to a warm culture of giving within the departmental community. Following the ceremony, the alumnus and students spent time freely conversing. The students asked questions about their career paths, college life, and social life, and the alumnus offered sincere advice based on his own experiences. Although brief, it was a meaningful time for seniors and juniors to communicate and share stories. This act of sharing went beyond simply handing out laptops; it served as a platform to share both the alumnus's heart—passing on the help he received at the university to his juniors—and the warm exchange between seniors and juniors.

- Professor Sung-kyun Moon selected as 'Outstanding Reviewer' for JMR, top academic journal in the field of marketing
- Professor Sung-kyun (Marketing) of our university has been selected as an 'Outstanding Reviewer' for the Journal of Marketing Research (hereinafter JMR), a world-renowned marketing journal. This selection recognizes his reviewing capabilities and contribution to the academic community in enhancing the quality of international academic research, further proving our university's global research competitiveness. Published by the American Marketing Association (AMA), JMR is a prestigious international journal and one of the "Top 4" journals in global marketing, alongside the Journal of Marketing, the Journal of Consumer Research, and Marketing Science. It is recognized as one of the most influential academic journals for researchers worldwide, publishing innovative marketing theories and empirical research. The JMR Outstanding Reviewer Award is a prestigious honor given to reviewers who have made exceptional contributions during the peer-review process. Selections are known to be based on a comprehensive evaluation of various factors, including timeliness, constructiveness, academic rigor, analytical depth, and objective and polite tone. "It is a tremendous honor just to serve as an Editorial Review Board member for JMR, so receiving the Outstanding Reviewer Award is deeply meaningful and I am very grateful," Professor Moon said. "It came as a surprise, making it even more special, and it has given me a chance to reflect on my past review activities." Following his selection as a JMR Outstanding Reviewer, we conducted an interview with Professor Sung-kyun Moon. 1. Congratulations on being selected as an Outstanding Reviewer for the Journal of Marketing Research (JMR). Could you share your thoughts on receiving this honor? Thank you for the congratulations. Just being a member of the Editorial Review Board for JMR—one of the top marketing journals—is a privilege in itself, so receiving the Outstanding Reviewer Award is a truly grateful and honorable experience. It was completely unexpected, so I was a bit dazed when I heard the news. While reviewing papers takes a lot of time and isn't easy, I learn a lot through the process and feel a sense of fulfillment knowing I'm making an important contribution to academia. This makes me reflect on my past reviews and motivates me to work harder to become a more diligent reviewer who truly helps other researchers. I suppose I'll need to work even harder on my own research to be a good reviewer. 2. Could you explain the criteria used to select Outstanding Reviewers? Journal of Marketing Research (JMR) is a journal managed by the American Marketing Association (AMA) and is recognized as one of the Top 4 journals in marketing, alongside the Journal of Marketing, the Journal of Consumer Research, and Marketing Science. While the exact selection criteria for Outstanding Reviewers are not publicly disclosed, I believe editors evaluate reviewers after they submit their paper reviews. I understand that evaluations generally focus on criteria such as timeliness, constructiveness, rigor, depth, and tone (maintaining an objective and polite tone). 3. What are your primary areas of research focus right now? Within the field of marketing, I focus on corporate marketing strategy. Specifically, based on interdisciplinary research integrating marketing with finance and accounting, I study the financial market effects of corporate marketing strategies and activities, as well as how financial markets influence corporate marketing decision-making. Recently, I have broadened the scope of my research to examine how legal and institutional environments affect marketing activities. 4. Could you introduce any upcoming research or projects you have planned?. Expanding on my existing research areas, I plan to conduct research that connects marketing with ESG, business ethics, and sustainability, which are crucial issues in modern corporate management. Currently, collaborating with researchers at overseas universities, I am investigating whether ESG and business ethics issues experienced by customer firms within a corporate relationship network create negative spillover effects for other firms in the network. In addition, as corporate socio-political activities are becoming increasingly important to stakeholders and impacting companies and society broadly, I have begun researching how a company's socio-political activities affect its marketing activities and marketing assets. This selection as a JMR Outstanding Reviewer is an achievement that demonstrates not only individual research capability but also the international research competitiveness and academic standing of Sungkyunkwan University Business School. Through continued active research and international academic engagement, it is expected to play a positive role in advancing global marketing research and expanding international academic exchanges for domestic researchers.
