Opis

Within the past decades, the South Korean economic development has beencharacterised by rapid growth. It is regarded as an exemplary model fortaking the leap from an underdeveloped and agrarian country to anindustrialised nation. The discussion about the success factors reaches far outinto the fields of socio-economics and cultural science among others, and it isindeed an essential one due to markets growing closer, increasingly creatingcultural diversity within workforces and requiring an explanatory approachtowards the challenges arising naturally from these conditions.The focus of this work is on the socio-economic factors embedded in themanagement of Korean multinationals. They will be examined within the contextof workplace itself, how Korean managers interact with local employeesand managers and guide them in subsidiaries outside South Korea. The overridingquestions elaborated in this book are: What are the uniquecharacteristics of Korean corporate cultures? What is the current status of traditionalvalues in Korean management culture?
