Schooled in GitLab: Teaching our handbook at a South Korean university

Business students at Hankuk University of Foreign Studies in Seoul are studying GitLab's extensive handbook and business model to gain insights into company transparency, communication, and the intricacies of remote work. Led by lecturer SanJoon Song, the class divided the lengthy 3,000+ page handbook into categories for in-depth exploration, allowing students to present their findings on various aspects, such as compensation, incentives, and remote work, which remains uncommon in Korea. The handbook's level of transparency and detailed protocols, especially regarding mistakes and company values, surprised both Song and his students, highlighting a novel approach to corporate communication and goal-setting. This study emphasizes the importance of clear, effective communication between employees and management, a key takeaway for students aspiring to become entrepreneurs. Song is also teaching a second class focusing on project management and DevOps, further inspiring students by examining GitLab's practices and their applicability to startup success.
