Supply Chain Management (SCM) is responsible for, now on a global scale, the delivery of value-added goods/services in any organization – public or private, profit or non-profit. SCM costs in total typically exceed 25% of the cost of doing business, and logistics-related assets (including inventory) can represent as much as 50% of a company’s total assets. This course instructs and applies various key concepts of SCM and the related decision-making tools to solve practical supply/demand problems in the context of global supply chains.  The course discusses core SCM-related concepts including time-based inventory management, warehousing, transportation/distribution systems design, facility location decision process, and information handling in SC operations as competitive advantages in service-based emerging economies.

No specific prerequisite for this course, but an understanding of college-level algebra preferred.

This course is designed to familiarize students with the topic of English translation of Korean films through a selection of movies of the world-renowned Korean director and Yonsei alum Bong Joon-ho. Note that the course is based mainly on movie viewing, individual research, and class discussions in addition to the instructor's lectures. Thus, active participation on the students' part is crucial. This course allows enrolled students to think about the difficulties and sophisticated nature of Korean-English translation for movie subtitles through the examples of Korean films by Director Bong Joon-ho. The course helps observe various problems regarding translation from Korean into English and vice versa through Bong’s films such as 'A Higher Animal (2000)', 'The Host (2006)’, ‘Snowpiercer (2013)’, ‘Okja (2017)’, and ‘Parasite (2019)’. Students are also expected to understand the complicated nature of numerous variables in play when it comes to crossing from one language to another in the world of cinema such as one’s understanding of context, culture, history, and tradition on top of the basic linguistic competency. Through this course, students gain not only confidence in bridging different languages based on a solid control of languages and cultures but also a cosmopolitan outlook as world citizens incorporating diversity, flexibility, and open-mindedness which are indispensable in modern society.
