I
finished my MBA program with a trip to Korea to study the business environment
and what I got was a valuable cultural experience. In 1953 as a result of the devastation caused
by the Korean War the city of Seoul was described as unrecognizable, yet today
it is one of the world’s largest cities.
Korea’s 50 million people make them the 25th largest country in the world
while their GDP is ranked 15th. For a 60
year old economy this achievement can be described as nothing short of a
miracle and that is what is written on the walls in the lobbies of some of
their largest businesses. The question
I kept asking myself was how Korea
achieved such success.
