This book explores the historical and economic development of South Korea, its culture, as well as the benefits, opportunities and challenges that German companies have faced in their
cooperation with South Korean enterprises. More specifically, it juxtaposes economic-miracle markets such as Japan and West Germany, which rose from the ashes after the Second World War with
the help of a century of bustling industrial age, with South Korea, which developed from virtually nothing. The book also addresses why South Korea’s history, geography, society, culture and
economic capabilities remain widely unknown and unnoticed among westerners, despite South Korean companies being among the global market leaders in a number of industries, particularly in the
automobile and hardware segments. Written from the point of view of a seasoned business expert on the country,Economic Miracle Market South Korea is essential reading for business and
economics research academics looking to improve their knowledge of this relatively unknown “success story”, as well as for practitioners in industry looking to optimize their dealings with
South Korean business partners.
