Hankyung Business noted: “The key strengths of Korea University Business School are the best educational infrastructure and curriculum. KUBS has been continuously dedicating in their advantages and challenging for new values every year”.

Dean Johngseok Bae addressed his vision through an interview with Hankyung Business, saying “The reason why KUBS could maintain its static position is because we have been pursuing a mutual goal between the school and students for 115 years. In 2020, which is a significant time of transformation, KUBS will strive to foster new leaders who can understand the root of business studies and develop creative goals”.

This year, Hankyung Business School Ranking made its 13th assessment for Korean business schools. The core feature of Hankyung’s assessment is that the ratings are made from the demand’s perspective, the corporates who are looking for talents to hire. Therefore, Hankyung’s aim is on evaluating how the graduates from business schools are actually performing as employees after finishing their MBA courses. Above all, Hankyung values leadership capabilities that can quickly adapt into new environments and motivate others as team-workers.
