Kohls shares a feast of Korean culture: a ricebowl of history and tradition
complimented by an array of spicy tidbits that capture the reader’s attention
like a mouthful of kimchi. Based on personal experience, he provides critical
incidents that explore the more puzzling aspects of Korean culture. Kohls
explores Korean values—traditional values, value changes over the past forty
years and projected values for the early decades of the twenty-first century.
He is equally insightful when it comes to discussing the cultural patterns and
practices of the workplace. He takes on management style, personal issues,
networking and “pull,” negotiating style, persistence, key Korean business
relations and more. To a greater extent than most other Asisan countries,
Korea adheres to the traditional collectivist and Confucian traits of harmony,
hierarchy, ingroups/outgroups, status, and proper behavior. According to
Kohls, these traits plus the more Westernized values of the younger
generations and the veneer of modern urban savvy surface in surprising
combinations in personal and workplace relationships—often where they are
least expected.
