From December 30 to 31, 2024, Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business (CKGSB) and Yonsei University Business School (YSB) jointly organized an academic research visit in Shenzhen. The event aimed to deepen the collaboration between the top business schools in China and South Korea, promote academic progress between the two institutions, and provide a valuable opportunity for cross-cultural communication.
On the morning of December 30, the delegation visited 3Nod Group in Shenzhen to gain an in-depth understanding of the innovative, driven operations and successful practices of the company. After touring the exhibition hall, Liu Zhixiong, the founder and chairman of 3Nod Group, hosted the delegation. The two sides engaged in lively discussions on topics such as technological innovation and sustainable development, offering important insights for future academic and industrial collaboration.
In the afternoon, the academic workshop was held at the CKGSB Shenzhen campus, where scholars discussed the cutting-edge topics in management and business research.

On the next day, the delegation visited OPPO, a renowned technology company, to gain insights into its leading experiences in technological innovation and market expansion. Through discussions with OPPO executives and a tour of the company, participants enriched their research with valuable case studies from the company’s global development experience.
Although the event lasted only two days, it was rich in content and highly productive.
