I am frequently asked to recommend books on Korea and its culture. Understanding Korea's past is an important step in comprehending its business culture, norms, and common practices.
A great place to begin is several books I've authored. The books will give you and your team some background on Korea's recent past. In fact, my focus is early Western influence in Korea, although I write on contemporary Korean culture, too.

Why don't you write a book about the U.S. punitive invasion of Gwanghwa-do?
ReplyDeleteGreat comment. My focus is on Korea as it opened to the West during this time of change.
ReplyDeleteOops. I see that I made an error on the location. It should be Kanghwa-do, not Gwanghwa-do. An interesting note is that the Korean battle flag was captured by the US in 1871 and recently returned to Korea last October!
