– Lecture focuses on `Global Leadership, POSCO Innovation`
Song Byoung-kwan, Senior Manager of POSCO-ICPC, recently gave a lecture at Hindustan University. Titled “Global Leadership and POSCO Innovation,“ it was attended by the school`s MBA and EIBIS students.
Divided into two sessions, the lecture featured some interesting facts regarding the similarity of the Korean and Tamil languages, which was highlighted by creative and timely use of video clips. For example, both Inge vaa (Tamil) and Iriwa va (Korean) mean “come here.“
He also emphasized the importance of cultural understanding as the only way to understand a country and its people as a whole.
“Understanding differences is the first step for a global company to move forward to a more positive future, because we are part of a much bigger global society and we have a responsibility for a better world,“ he said.
Mentioning the importance of ceaseless challenges to become a global leader, Song pointed out that human beings must learn a lot from animals as well, about how to adapt to new environments and how to move on in life.
“We must learn from history, as well as from leading companies to excel. Don`t be afraid of facing new challenges and work as a team,“ Song said. “Success in life is about overcoming the previous failure and giving it another try.“
A part of the lecture was a video presentation highlighting the history of POSCO, one of the world`s largest steel companies. One of the world`s `Big Three` steel firms, POSCO is operating eight regional hubs, 80 subsidiaries and sales networks around the globe. In India, the company has offices in Delhi, Maharashtra, Orissa and Chennai.
“POSCO`s history is the history of creativity, which has been a major driving force behind its current and future success. Resources may be limited, but creativity is unlimited. POSCO will continue to explore the world and open up markets in an effort to remain as a reliable and trustful global enterprise.“
