Samsung Global Scholarship Program
Encyclopedia
Samsung Global Scholarship Program (in short: Samsung GSP or GSP) is a talent program of the Korea-based Samsung conglomerate's flagship subsidiary, Samsung Electronics
(SEC). Focusing on the goal of having talented personnel with strong business skills, leadership potential and career aspirations, Samsung Electronics
recognized the compelling need for high-quality leaders, hence the Global Scholarship Program was created to nurture a very selectively compiled group of individuals, who later in the long run might become leaders ("Future Global Leaders") of the various Samsung Electronics
subsidiaries around the world, replacing the current Korean-national management layer (what is presently the usual practice at the chaebol
).
Divided into two paths, both programs originally selected participants who demonstrate academic excellence and leadership potential and provides them with unique opportunities for further professional development. Starting from 2011, GSP-SKK instead contains employees working in the subsidiaries. The program also provides young leaders with a unique international network through which they can share ideas, learn from established leaders, work collaboratively and address global challenges. By exposing participants to the complex issues and opportunities arising from an increasingly interdependent global economy, the program aims to expand perspectives and enhance skills critical for leadership in a changing world.
The (Global) MBA program is notable for its diversity and pioneer nature. It was built and now run together with MIT Sloan
since its foundation, and it was the first global English-only MBA program in Korea. Selected GSP students currently study for
three semesters. Previously, it was four semesters, including a possibility of spending a semester at one of SKK GSB's top partner universities in the U.S. (MIT Sloan
, Columbia
, Northwestern's Kellogg
, Michigan's Ross
, Dartmouth's Tuck
or Indiana's Kelly
).
The significance of the program can also be seen from the wide range of students who, as it was already in the first years, came from the leading companies including Cheil Communications
, Amore Pacific
, Woori Bank
, POSCO
, SK
, Kyobo
, Everland
, Bosch
, KTF
and several Samsung
subsidiaries.
After graduation, participants are offered various responsibilities at Samsung Electronics
and although some elected to follow a different career path (at management consultancies, for instance) many participants stayed with SEC
