It was founded in 1996 as Korea’s first full-time MBA program. In 2006, the 3 graduate schools of KAIST were combined under the single name of Business School. Working towards the common goal of developing a world renowned technology-based management school, KCB is accredited by AACSB and EQUIS, and is the member of GMAC and PIM. KCB is also ranked as one of the top MBA schools in the Financial Times. KCB boasts of experienced professors, lecturers and advanced academic degree programs. It is offered through KAIST Graduate School of Management (Techno MBA), KAIST Graduate School of Finance (Finance MBA), KAIST Graduate School of Information Media and Management (Information and Media MBA), and KAIST Graduate School of Green Growth (Green MBA, Green Policy Program). In addition, in 2016 KCB integrated with the School of Business and Technology Management located in the Daejeon campus, growing into a larger and stronger business school. KCB is structured to provide the students the intellectual and management skills and also the conceptual and analytical tools necessary in facing the future. In addition, we provide a wide range of choices, so students can take on a leadership role and chart their desired course of achievement. Ingenuity and teamwork are the skills necessary to succeed.

They can be easily flagged down on the streets from just about anywhere. Regular taxis are orange, but a few are white or gray. Deluxe Taxi Called “model taxi” in Korean, deluxe taxis are black with a yellow sign on the top. Both sides of the taxi have the Deluxe Taxi sign. They offer slightly more passenger space and a higher standard of service than regular taxis. This means that the basic fare and the fare for additional distance are higher than regular taxis. Jumbo Taxi A van taxi that can accommodate six to ten passengers is also available for larger groups. Jumbo taxis provide simultaneous interpretation by phone for certain languages, and are equipped with a receipt-issuing device and a credit card reader. Fares are the same as deluxe taxi. International Taxi Korea offers special international taxis, which are driven by taxi drivers who can speak one or more foreign languages such as English, Japanese, or Chinese. International taxis look the same as standard taxis, except they feature the words "International Taxi" on the body and top of the car.

  • Shanghai, China Overview Introduction
    Shanghai, China Overview Introduction The name Shanghai still conjures images of romance, mystery and adventure, but for decades it was an austere backwater. After the success of Mao Zedong's communist revolution in 1949, the authorities clamped down hard on Shanghai, castigating China's second city for its prewar status as a playground of gangsters and colonial adventurers. And so it was. In its heyday, the 1920s and '30s, cosmopolitan Shanghai was a dynamic melting pot for people, ideas and money from all over the planet. Business boomed, fortunes were made, and everything seemed possible. It was a time of breakneck industrial progress, swaggering confidence and smoky jazz venues. Thanks to economic reforms implemented in the 1980s by Deng Xiaoping, Shanghai's commercial potential has reemerged and is flourishing again. Stand today on the historic Bund and look across the Huangpu River. The soaring 1,614-ft/492-m Shanghai World Financial Center tower looms over the ambitious skyline of the Pudong financial district. Alongside it are other key landmarks: the glittering, 88- story Jinmao Building; the rocket-shaped Oriental Pearl TV Tower; and the Shanghai Stock Exchange. The 128-story Shanghai Tower is the tallest building in China (and, after the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, the second-tallest in the world). Glass-and-steel skyscrapers reach for the clouds, Mercedes sedans cruise the neon-lit streets, luxury- brand boutiques stock all the stylish trappings available in New York, and the restaurant, bar and clubbing scene pulsates with an energy all its own. Perhaps more than any other city in Asia, Shanghai has the confidence and sheer determination to forge a glittering future as one of the world's most important commercial centers.
