What motivates you to join TSM?
After attending a Business and Cultural Study Mission to Beijing & Shenzen organised by SMU last year, I had the opportunity to visit many companies across various industries. Three companies in particular struck my interest - Lenovo , Huawei and Cheku Cafe. The company visits to Lenovo and Huawei were extremely impressive. We were able to learn about how these Chinese corporations are able to compete on a global level and remain extremely successful. As I am currently on exchange in Europe, I was pleasantly surprised by the multiple Huawei products used in Musuems in across Europe, such as in Barcelona and Prague. This clearly shows the immense potential of technology companies especially in the 21st century. Technology related businesses are able to transcend borders and tap international markets, unlike most traditional business models. Hence I strongly believe that working in the technological industry is key of the future.
After my visit to Cheku Cafe, a start-up incubation cafe in Beijing, I was drawn towards the idea of starting up my own business rather than simply working in a company upon graduation. Hence potentially, I hope to be able to start up an online business of my own.
Therefore, I am very interested in joining TSM Korea as I believe that I will be able to learn a lot about both the Technological industry and start-ups in South Korea.
Why pick South Korea?
Having been to South Korea last summer, I was very impressed at their technological systems. It is widely known that South Korea is one of the leading countries in the world in terms of its technological industry. Similarly, China too is a large player in the market. Hence I am very interested in learning about the differences in China & Korea in this industry. I would also love to learn about the difficulties that foreigners face when starting up a business in South Korea, given the language barriers as well as other cultural factors.
