Our new Korea Facing newsletter is a huge hit. The first 2
articles are on Korean hierarchy and its influence on overseas operations. I’ve
included some excerpts.
Part 1
In a hierarchical
system a request from above always overrides other plans and thus schedules are
often revised at short notice. This can also unfold as any request from the
Korean headquarters taking precedence over operations at the local branch or
subsidiary.
This top down
management style works well in Korea, but as the nation has expanded globally,
firms need to adapt to regionally norms….
Part 2
Rank and position in
the mother company, along with their sphere of influence have a powerful impact
on an expat’s effectiveness. For
example, a chajang (deputy general
manager) with the mother company who is seen as on the fast track will fare
better than a someone who has little interaction with senior leadership.
