Exploring Change  I've been in editing mode for the past few days. Plans are for an end of December release of my new book  Korea 2020: A workplace in transition.  Many thanks to those of you who previewed the manuscript and shared comments. If you, too, would like to preview and comment, I'll email you a draft copy. Korea 2020 shares not only what’s behind the current corporate trends but also the impact of Change both in South Korea and for operations outside Korea.  Exploring this change is at the core of this new book. Topics include the restructuring of age-old corporate norms such as more casual dress, a simplification of workplace titles leading to flatter organizations, and the pushback against workplace bullying and gender discrimination.  It also drills deeper and provides readers with workarounds, work throughs, and insights.
