Introduction of the department
In a highly technical industrial society, the percentage of distribution and physical distribution is increasing day by day. The distribution and physical distribution of products is also becoming a large portion of a nation’s economic growth. As the importance of distribution/physical distribution of products is becoming recognized, there is an increase in demand of labor force in this field, meaning there are more employment opportunities.
In the Department of Business Administration, Major in Distribution management, students can learn professional knowledge and in-site skills of the product distribution field. Using this as the background, Yeonsung University aims to nurture professional distribution managers who can react flexibly to the changing business environment. To nurture these excellent individuals, we are mutually operating distribution/physical distribution talent nurturing programs, in-site programs and others with large domestic distribution companies. By providing diverse programs, Yeonsung University will help students improve their in-site skills and have confidence in their employment opportunities.
