SKK GSB provided with a unique educational experience in Korea because it serves as a soft landing to the Korean business environment. It provided a global community which is difficult to find in the Korea and this same time gave me a glimpse of the kind of culture companies are trying to implement. This double benefit has been crucial for my career development in one of the most globaly competitive steel makers.
