Korea University Business School’s KULSOM Advances to Global Student Challenge Final with 5th Place Worldwide in Preliminary Round 

KULSOM (Korea University Logistics, Service and Operations Management), a student academic society at Korea University Business School, has advanced to the Final Round of the Global Student Challenge (GSC), a prestigious international supply chain management competition. Representing South Korea after winning the national S&OP (Sales and Operations Planning) competition, KULSOM placed 5th among 143 teams worldwide in the preliminary round. 

KULSOM is composed of students interested in LSOM (Logistics, Service and Operations Management), a discipline within business administration. KULSOM has actively participated in both domestic and international competitions based on its academic and practical understanding of supply chain and operations strategy. In this event, the team competed under the name “KULSOM” along with Korea University’s official logo, further enhancing the university’s presence on the global stage. 

Professor Hyun Seok Lee, academic director and LSOM professor, remarked, “This outstanding achievement reflects the students’ passion and hard work. It is a source of great pride to see Korea University Business School’s strengths once again recognized on the global stage.” 

The GSC is an international competition hosted by Inchainge, a supply chain education institution based in the Netherlands. It brings together university students from around the world who specialize in supply chain and operations management to compete through strategic simulations modeled after real-world business scenarios. 

KULSOM is now making thorough preparations for the Final Round, aiming to deliver another strong performance and take another leap forward on the global stage.
