The Korean culture and the impact of the geopolitical
environment of the Korean peninsula have produced a unique
behavioral pattern in both managers and workers. It is necessary to
understand this behavioral pattern in order to understand the
Korean management system that has played such a major role in
contributing to the phenomenal economic achievement of the Korean
business community. Entrepreneurs, top executives, managers and
workers are all integral parts of the management system, and their
performance is given an in-depth analysis.
After introducing the reader to the Chinese and Japanese
cultures that share a common Oriental heritage with the Korean
culture, the authors discuss the geopolitical influences of the
major powers: China, Russia, Japan, and the United States. The
Koreans first learned modern management principles from the
Japanese, and following World War II, from the Americans. Later,
the Korean government actively supported businesses' survival and
prosperity. The various entrepreneurial management styles influence
the development of Korea's modern managers as well. The impact of
the group and individual behavior of Koreans, the evolution of the
chaebol, the management of human resources, and the Office of
Planning and Control are explored in depth. The very special
ethical issues that surround Korean business dealings are also
given particular attention. Top executives, managers, and
entrepreneurs doing business in Korea or with Korean businessmen
will be interested in this book's discussion of the Korean
management system. This book will make excellent supplemental
reading material in international business, human resource, and
strategic management courses.
