Common traits of successful cafes

 Common traits of successful cafes:

  1. Storytelling: Successful cafes often have compelling stories behind them, which resonate with their customers. These stories create emotional connections and differentiate the cafe from others.

  2. Communication: Effective communication, especially through platforms like social media, allows cafes to engage with their customers, expand their stories, and build a loyal community.

  3. Participation: Engaging customers in the cafe's operations or activities fosters a sense of ownership and belonging, strengthening their connection to the cafe.

  4. Involvement of Coffee Experts: Having coffee experts involved in the operation of the cafe ensures the quality of the products and enhances the overall experience for customers.

  5. Investment from Like-minded Individuals: Successful cafes often receive investment from individuals who share the same values and vision, providing not just financial support but also moral and emotional backing.

For example, cafes like "Our Neighborhood Cafe" in Suwon are founded by individuals who are passionate about social participation and community engagement. These cafes often invest their own resources and involve experts and like-minded individuals to create spaces that serve not just coffee but also as platforms for social change and community building. They focus on storytelling, communication, and active participation of customers, aligning with a common vision of creating a vibrant and inclusive community hub.

Introducing Gyeonggi Techno Park

Introducing Gyeonggi Techno Park, a source of pride for me. The South Korean government identified Silicon Valley as the driving force behind the Third Industrial Revolution in the United States and formulated a medium to long-term plan for strengthening the technological infrastructure in 1995. To foster regional-specific strategic projects and achieve national balanced development, it established a special law on supporting industrial technology complexes and designated regional technoparks in 1998. In Gyeonggi Province, six regions participated in a competition to attract technopark projects, among which the consortium backed by the national industrial complex Smart Hub, located in Ansan City, was selected as the operator of Gyeonggi Techno Park. Since its establishment in 1998, it has attracted government-funded projects to nurture bio, robotics, IT, and automotive small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Simultaneously, it aimed to attract overseas global companies and national ...

Have a Dream!

  "Have a Dream!" According to the research conducted by Dr. Kim Seung-gi at Columbia University in the United States in 2008, among 1,400 Korean students admitted to prestigious American universities from 1985 to 2007, the dropout rate was 44%. This was significantly higher compared to 34% for American students, 25% for Chinese students, 21% for Indian students, and 13% for Jewish students. Additionally, there was an embarrassing statistic that 90% of Asian students failing at Harvard University were Koreans. The reason for this was attributed to Korean students lacking long-term goals and dreams. "What is the perfect life for me?"

It must be ethical

  It must be ethical. Recently, CEOs of major corporations have been suffering. Kim Seung-yeon, the chairman of Hanwha Group, was detained, and CJ Chairman Lee Jae-hyun is also under suspicion of slush funds and more. With the revelation of offshore tax evasion lists, many influential figures in society are facing moral challenges. The government is showing determination to impose strict legal responsibility for disrupting the chaebol's constitutional order, but it remains to be seen. The global financial crisis reoccurred due to moral laxity in the subprime mortgage crisis of 2008. The theme of the 2010 Davos Forum was "Creating a Better World." For this purpose, rethinking, redesigning, and reconstructing were discussed. The shift towards moral capitalism began to be visualized to overcome the limitations of neoliberal capitalism. Why should we be ethical? By reading Doug Renick's "Now It's Ethical," we can reconsider its importance. According to resea...
