Business scholars were assigned to advise on promising SMEs selected by the Korea Venture Business Association and Industrial Bank of Korea. The characteristics shown in the above case are as follows. There is a demand for lectures related to corporate field issues. Business scholars responded to this demand for education. Moreover, business scholars consulted on theoretical management systems and successful management methods based on cases. They worked on solving fundamental problems by conducting management consulting for over 6 months. In addition to management consulting in the future, it is expected to increase research performance through advisory cases and secure human resources and jobs using students.
