What should South Korean offices look like in a post-hierarchical
world? In Supercorporate, anthropologist Michael M. Prentice
examines a central tension in visions of big corporate life in
South Korea's twenty-first century: should corporations be sites of
fair distinction or equal participation? As South Korea distances
itself from images and figures of a hierarchical past, Prentice
argues that the drive to redefine the meaning of corporate labor
echoes a central ambiguity around corporate labor today. Even as
corporations remain idealized sites of middle-class aspiration in
South Korea, employees are torn over whether they want greater
recognition for their work or meaningful forms of cooperation.
Through an in-depth ethnography of the Sangdo Group conglomerate,
the book examines how managers attempt to perfect corporate social
life through new office programs while also minimizing the risks of
creating new hierarchies. Ultimately, this book reveals how office
life is a battleground for working out the promises and the perils
of economic democratization in one of East Asia's most dynamic
countries.
