[ About the book ]

This book is a summary that clearly organizes the key contents and past exam questions for students preparing for the "Business Administration" exam.
The entire book is organized into 26 chapters, and each chapter consists of a summary of the content by topic and past exam questions.
Every year, I receive a lot of encouragement from many test takers who tell me that this book helped them achieve good scores on various management exams, including those held by public corporations, public labor attorneys, 7th grade (auditor), and military personnel (military personnel).
This year, we are presenting the 10th edition, supplemented with the latest exam questions extracted from various exams administered over the past year.
I believe this book will serve as a strong support for students taking the 2025 business administration exam.

[ Features and Usage ]

The volume has been reduced by about 1/5 compared to the previous version.
This is thanks to the elimination of a significant number of past exam questions that were only included in the Certified Public Accountant Exam, which has changed in scope and trend due to the examination system reform. In terms of the scope of content covered in the book, we can say that the faithfulness of the content has been further strengthened as we have additionally supplemented the topics that were included in most national exams (up until the first half of 2024).

Each chapter of the text follows the content arrangement of a typical business management textbook, making it suitable for final review not only for my basic theory book but also for students studying with other theory books or workbooks.

Throughout the content description, related past exam questions (including those administered up to July 2024) are included along with the year of examination and source.
The sentences that were tested as correct (blue) and incorrect (black) are distinguished, and in the case of incorrect sentences, an explanation of why they are incorrect is provided in a footnote.
Since the previous exam questions are arranged according to similarity in content, it will be of great help in the final study process with the previous exam questions.

For those of you studying alongside the lectures, please first review the content I emphasize in the workbook during class, and then, during the review process, compare and contrast the relevant parts with the textbook to organize them.

In the problem-solving process, you can study by organizing the sentences or keywords that are key to solving each problem by comparing them to which part of the book they are located.

[ Words of gratitude ]

This book has become one of the most widely used business administration summary books by students in Korea.
It is thanks to the love shown by many test takers.
I also cannot forget the efforts of the Sangkyungsa family who transformed my rough ideas into a wonderful book and cover.
I also express my gratitude and love to my wife, who always provides me with the energy I need to write and allows me to work on my books with peace of mind, and to my two sons, who bring me joy in life.

I wish health, happiness, and success to all those studying with this book.
