- Final Rehearsal carried out for the International Symposium of Global Economics in Australia
- On June 25th (Monday), final rehearsal amongst contestants was held in order to move one step ahead of the upcoming SKKU-UNSW Symposium at University of New South Wales in Kensington, Australia. Each contestant was assigned to a different team, and hence different team assignments were provided. Told that the majority of the audience will be undergraduates from other universities at the symposium, contestants already knew about what to do with their given team assignments. Overall, their team assignments leaned toward actual case studies and data without anything that was too theoretical. In their previous rehearsal, they managed to come up with a variety of analyses based upon somewhat intriguing topics. At this time, they sought to reorganize their thoughts on a meaningful result gained from the analyses. Then, they did present those ideas for their last rehearsal prior to the actual symposium. After the event came to a close, the contestants had lunch together with the Dean of Global Economics to encourage one another.

Professor Young-Ju Nielsen was the subject’s instructor. 9 undergraduate students from both departments were divided into three teams to compete throughout the internship. With guidelines of 6 advisors, they embarked on researching on investment management in regard to its drawback and possible solution. The circle of company executives from Samsung Investment Management, including its research center manager, participated, but the students came up with more reasonable results through their back tests according to marketing strategies provided. They were also able to specify a severance package based upon the investment model as this model can stabilize payment methods out of immunization and non-immunized asset. They managed to debrief with the event participants about how a PFMS-based cash management can work to increase mindshare of consumers in the market.
