This Handbook, authored by a stellar line-up of international contributors, explores the diverse phenomena and issues surrounding the Korean business and management world.

Offering insights into trends, challenges, policies and initiatives of corporations and government and providing a nuanced portrayal of Korean business dynamics, the Handbook’s approach is centred around four key themes:

- Examining the roles played by the government and markets, including labour and financial markets, in Korea’s economic progression.

- Addressing macro and micro issues in Korean business and management such as business groups, business-government relationships, corporate governance, corporate strategy and globalization, human resource management, employment relations, and chief executive officer (CEO) compensation.

- Scrutinizing current phenomena by bridging the past and future, exploring mainstream and emerging business issues such as corporate social responsibility, environmental, social, and governance issues, start-up businesses, diversity and inclusion and the impact of the Fourth Industrial Revolution.

- Emphasizing the interplay between agents, structures and institutions.

Delving into the intricacies of business and management in a Korean context, this Handbook will be a valuable resource to students and scholars of international business and management, with a particular focus on Asia and Korea.
