Mutual Growth With Partners
Continuous efforts have been made by kt to cultivate an environment where collaboration with partners is encouraged by pursuing measures such as attempting to prevent detrimental effects caused by lowest bid price evaluations, raising the maintenance fee payments, helping promising SMEs to build up on their competitiveness, and seeking to promote more cash payments and acquiring additional financing. In July 2010, in the spirit of promoting collaboration with SMEs, kt announced “the Three No Policy.” This in essence represents KT’s commitment to refrain from practices that hinder the growth of SMEs, such as taking action that causes them to waste their valuable resources, stealing away their technology and ideas or going up against SMEs as a competitor. kt aims to not only implement policies promoting collaboration with partners, but to also help such partners apply their sustainable business policies to other partner companies of their own. To this end, KT is encouraging partners to adopt the cash payment policy more in the partners’ dealings with their own partner companies, and is also endeavoring to have the benefits of higher supply costs shared with these second-tier partner companies as well.

“If the study of all these sciences, which we have enumerated, should ever bring us to their mutual association and relationship, and teach us the nature of the ties which bind them together, I believe that the diligent treatment of them will forward the objects which we have in view, and that the labor, which otherwise would be fruitless, will be well bestowed.”

“Sensuality often accelerates the growth of love so much that its roots remain weak and are easily pulled up.”

“Let’s face it. With the singular exception of breast-feeding, there is nothing about infant care that a mother is innately better qualified to do than a father. Yet we continue to unconsciously perpetuate the myth that men just don’t have what it takes to be true partners in the process.”
—Michael K. Meyerhoff (20th century)
