Sogang Business School (SBS) of Sogang University has been marching on a mission to inspire future student leaders with both ethical business mindset and advanced management technical know-how. Rallying behind the school’s pursuit of the mission include globally-renowned faculty members, well-structured education programs, and with the most depth and width, Sogang’s long tradition of academic rigor and excellence.

The school’s core values of GLEE - Globalization, Leadership, Excellence, and Ethics - embody the essence of its mission to bring up students to become societal and business leaders with keen global awareness; to spearhead working out solutions on complicated issues of conflict of interests; to pursue educational and research eminence; and to put the global sustainability missions and societal impacts into practice.

The topmost global quality of the school’s education and research performances has been recognized, and the school was accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Business Schools (AACSB) for the first time in 2008, and the accreditation has been renewed for 15 years since then. Continuous improvements of various dimensions of the school in these years so far, founded on the innovative AACSB global standards, have been raising the school’s global positioning on a par with top-notch business schools all over the world.

Aligned with the leadership in digital technologies, sustainability, engagement, and societal impact on business education, SBS has been renovating its curricula to incorporate more of emerging management technologies, such as data analytics, fintech, data mining, into our students’ learning experience. Thus, the school provides students with solid fundamentals of up-to-date management knowledge in combination with cutting-edge digital advancement and keen insights into the market dynamics that will get them ready for global innovations and mega-trends.

At SBS, we are stepping ahead with a vision to solidify its foundation to search out balanced and mature ways of thinking and innovating to grapple with such disruptions in a flexible and preemptive manner.

Our inspiration and confidence will never wane.  We will press ahead, in particular, with measures to tear down walls that compartmentalized traditional management disciplines, and we will reinforce our drive to search out more multi-disciplinary study areas in more holistic perspective.

SBS will also strengthen the research and teaching capabilities of its faculty force, while accelerating a substantial expansion of its global programs and networks by reaching out to more international faculty and student partners.

Pressing ahead with these school objectives forward, SBS will reaffirm its own identity and brand as a leading business in the world, modeling its global positioning as unique and differentiated from all peers. Our mission will be unwavering in many years ahead not only in the country but also in the world.  

Sincerely,

Prof. Kim, Doseong
