[단독] 그룹 권력구도 따라… SK 싱크탱크, '하이닉스'로 이적

SK Group's strategic research institute's relocation to SK Hynix marks the completion of the conglomerate's transformation from telecommunications to AI semiconductors as its survival strategy. The move signals that leadership has fully committed resources to Hynix's competitive edge in AI chip markets, shifting the think tank from independent strategic advisor to an investment-banking-style hub. However, concentrating the think tank under a single profit-focused subsidiary risks diluting its traditional role in providing objective, forward-looking analysis for the entire conglomerate.
