This Handbook, authored by a stellar line-up of international contributors, explores the diverse phenomena and issues surrounding the Korean business and management world.

Offering insights into trends, challenges, policies, and initiatives of corporations and government and providing a nuanced portrayal of Korean business dynamics, the Handbook’s approach is centred around 4 key themes:



Examining the roles played by the government and markets, including labour and financial markets, in Korea’s economic progression.
Addressing macro and micro issues in Korean business and management such as business groups, business-government relationships, corporate governance, corporate strategy and globalization, human resource management, employment relations, and chief executive officer (CEO) compensation.
Scrutinizing current phenomena by bridging the past and future, exploring mainstream and emerging business issues such as corporate social responsibility, environmental, social, and governance issues, start-up businesses, diversity and inclusion and the impact of the fourth industrial revolution.
Emphasizing the interplay between agents, structures and institutions.

Delving into the intricacies of business and management in a Korean context, this Handbook will be a valuable resource to students and scholars of international business and management, with a particular focus on Asia and Korea.
