Within the past decades, the South Korean economic development has been
characterised by rapid growth. It is regarded as an exemplary model for
taking the leap from an underdeveloped and agrarian country to an
industrialised nation. The discussion about the success factors reaches
far out into the fields of socio-economics and cultural science among
others, and it is indeed an essential one due to markets growing closer,
increasingly creating cultural diversity within workforces and requiring
an explanatory approach towards the challenges arising naturally from
these conditions. The focus of this work is on the socio-economic
factors embedded in the management of Korean multinationals. They will
be examined within the context of workplace itself, how Korean managers
interact with local employees and managers and guide them in
subsidiaries outside South Korea. The overriding questions elaborated in
this book are: What are the unique characteristics of Korean corporate
cultures? What is the current status of traditional values in Korean
management culture? What are possible future tendencies? Where are the
differences between Korean and Western European management cultures? How
big is the conflict potential and how is conflict management designed?
This book is suitable for Students, HR Managers, Managers, Asia Business
Experts, Employees of Korean Overseas Companies, HR Coaches,
Multicultural Workteams, Business Expansion Management and more.
