Why TSM South Korea?
- What motivates you to join TSM?
I've always found online business and entrepreneurships that operate via technology very fascinating, since being born into an age of technological innovations. I foresee so many more opportunities to capitalize on when we do businesses using technology, such as taking advantage of transport innovations to dispel geographical limitations, mass sales promotions, etc; and I would really like an opportunity to learn these business models and tactics in this trip.
Personally, this being rather common for a girl, I enjoy shopping, and in particular, online shopping. Online retail plays a big important role during the busy periods of my life since following a stereotype, girls will feel a constant need to acquire more products even when we do not have the time to do so. Although there is a common consensus that online shopping cannot beat the feeling of physically trying and buying our own apparels, it is a convenience that I believe surpasses that fact. Akin to physically buying things, online retail therapy is also a release of stress on its own and has a certain charm. Citing an example in the upcoming Black Friday Sales, a primarily American tradition, it would not have been so popularized internationally if not for the invention of online shopping.
I believe that technology has become a key driving force in the business world, in not only online shopping, but also using the world wide web to create platforms for entrepreneur opportunities in any form. I hope to be given a chance to be a part of this learning experience.
