Annotation:

The influence of Asian political, economic and social traditions has often been used to explain Korean management. This book examines a range of areas of Korean management in these contexts, exploring the opportunities and challenges for managers in the Korean context and presenting an update on management developments using many experts with high Korean experience.

The chapters cover both functional areas and key issues specific to managing in Korean and provide consistent detailed coverage of each theme. This includes surveys and interviews with management practitioners in the areas covered to develop and allow the Series' concept of 'voice' - of management practitioners - to come through. They also include case studies at the firm level and of individual managers, questions for review and discussion, exercises, chapter summaries, bibliography, glossary and boxed features.

Publisher Description:

Part of the successful Routledge 'Working in Asia' series, The Changing Face of Korean Management focuses on a country that is predicted by some experts to become the world's third richest by 2025. South Korea, with its thriving telecommunications and automotive industries, and increasing trade links with China, survived the 1997 Asian Economic Crisis better than most. This important textbook explores the key areas of management in this pivotal country in the region, including:

  • Human Resource Management

  • Marketing

  • Operations

  • Finance

  • Strategy

  • Overseas affiliates

  • Small firms and entrepreneurship

  • Women

Including case studies and interviews with front-line Korean managers to enable a real 'voice' to emerge, and written by native academics, this is a complete analysis of the current state of management structures in South Korea. It is important reading for all students of business and management interested in Asia.
