The 8th Batch of S³ Asia MBA Explores Korea’s leading Industries
Visited △POSCO, △Hyundai Heavy Industries, △Hyundai Motor Company…Learned about the companies, ranging from their history to manufacturing process
 
 
The 8th Batch of S³ Asia MBA (AMBA), Korea University Business School’s Full-time MBA program, attended a domestic field trip. Professor Jaiho Chung (AMBA Academic Director), 28 AMBA students, 2 EA-DBA students joined the field trip, held from April 20 through 22. The participants learned about Korea’s technology industry by touring △POSCO Pohang Steelworks, △Hyundai Heavy Industries Ulsan Plant, △Hyundai Motor Company Ulsan Plant, which are located in Pohang and Ulsan.
 

 
The AMBA students had opportunities to learn about POSCO's history and its steel industry, as well as how it has become the world’s leading steel company. At Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI) Ulsan Plant, they explored Asan Memorial Hall, featuring achievements of Honorary Chairman Ju-yung Chung, and acquired knowledge of HHI business, such as offshore and engineering industry, green energy, and electro electric systems. Afterwards, the students also visited Hyundai Motor’s Ulsan Plant, which is equipped with high-tech production facilities. They learned the detailed information ranging from the automobile manufacturing process to inspection procedure at Hyundai Motor Company, one of the largest auto makers in the world.

“In the past, I could only access to information on Korea’s leading industries though media and data; however, this field trip has allowed us to explore industries and learned about their business strategies, which were wholly beneficial.” One of the AMBA students, Bokyung Kim (the 8th Batch), said. “Not only I was able to understand industry in depth, but also realized that the progress can be made only when close collaboration between company and country occurs.
