Yonsei Sangnam Institute of Management

The Yonsei School of Business, which has long provided educational and consulting services for professional executives as part of academic-industrial collaboration, had a vision of establishing a well-respected executive learning center. While searching for a corporate partner, the former CEO and chairman of LG Group, Mr. Cha-Kyung Koo expressed his interest in helping us fulfill our vision. Soon after, the official sponsorship from LG Group with about US$10 million endowment resulted in the establishment of Sangnam Institute Management (SIM).
The construction of the 6-storey building with one underground floor on 1,634 acres site began on March 17, 1997 and was completed on December 17, 1998. SIM was officially inaugurated on March 15, 1999 educating about 1,200 professionals and executives annually and has become the best university-affiliated executive learning center in Korea. We strive to develop SIM as a globally recognized professional and executive learning institute known for its practical yet highly innovative educational programs.
