Learn the ins and outs of conducting business in South KoreaSouth Korean companies and technology have suddenly conquered the world. Samsung, Hyundai and LG are industry leaders and the global brands. Korean culture in the form of K-Pop music videos and “Korean Wave” films and TV dramas are watched everywhere from Tel Aviv to Singapore to Rio. Korean gourmet food trucks ply the streets of New York and LA, and kimchi has found a place on the shelves of well-stocked supermarkets around the world.With just a fraction of Japan's land area, less than half its population, and no natural resources—how have Korean companies managed to conquer the world in such a short period of time? What is the “secret sauce” of Korean business practices and companies that makes them so successful?To find out, readers need more than statistics and company profiles. Learning the basics about Korean culture, about Korean social etiquette and Korean business culture, will enable you to understand for the first time how Koreans think and why they work so effectively to achieve their goals. This understanding will enhance your own effectiveness in doing business with Koreans, or in competing with them—whether in Korea or elsewhere.

Quotes

  • Evgenyia Guselnikovahas quoted6 years ago
    It is against this backdrop of shamanism, Buddhism, Confucianism, a strict hierarchal society, and decades of suffering and anguish at the hands of foreign powers, along with internal political strife, that one must view present-day South Korea and its people.
  • Evgenyia Guselnikovahas quoted6 years ago
    With Rhee gone, Myun J. Chang took over as president, but in May 1961 a bloodless coup led by General Park Chung-hee cut short his administration.
    For the next eight years ex-general Park gave South Korea harsh but efficient rule, instituting many reforms and inaugurating the first of a series of five-year plans that were to create an economic miracle.
  • Evgenyia Guselnikovahas quoted6 years ago
    In 1910 Japan formally ended the Choson dynasty by making Korea a part of the Japanese empire. The Japanese occupation forces immediately began a brutal program aimed at Japanizing the Koreans by outlawing their language and many of their cultural practices, and forcing them to adopt Japanese names.
