Background

The time is ripe for a comprehensive Reader on an important global economy in an increasing key part of the world, Asia. The South Korean economy, known for its chaebol  or conglomerates such as Samsung and Hyundai, is the 12th largest economy in the world, with a nominal GDP of US$1.62 trillion. The country represents an unprecedented case of economic development. Over the past four decades South Korea has demonstrated incredible economic growth and global integration to become an industrialized economy. During the 1960s its GDP per capita was among the poorer countries in the world, but which is now ranked 29^th with US$31,345.62 and GDP (PPP) of US$2.14 trillion. South Korea entered the trillion-dollar club in 2004, propelled by international trade and industrialization. It is among the global leaders in many industries including semiconductors, LCD displays, mobile phones, steelmaking, and automobiles . In recent years, cultural products such as K-pop, drmama, and movies have also gained populatiry around world. This raises a trio of key research questions: Why and how has this ‘Miracle on the Han’ happened? What is unique or not in its business and management in this process? How would Korean business and management evolve in the future?

Features

First of all, we intend to address a broad spectrum of phenomena and issues about Korean business and management. Specifically, we cover both macro and micro issues in Korean business and management; look into the current phenomena in the linkage of past and future; examine dominant issues as well as emerging ones; and deal with institutional contexts and core contents of Korean business and management. Second, we’d like to answer the following questions: Why/what/how are Korean businesses and management different from those of other countries? And what are some implications of these findings for researchers, business practitioners, and business educators in Korea, Asia, and Western countries? We are interested in the thick description of business phenomena and the causal explanation at a deeper level behind these business activities as well. Finally, we welcome each contributor’s views and stories that extend, complement, or challenge the conventional wisdoms of business and management in general and in the Korean context. When considering the level of abstraction, the link among perspectives, principles, and practices of businesses and management will be a critical way to describe each chapter. Overall, we would like to see a multidimensional, multi-layered, and pluralistic picture of Korean business and management.

Structure

To help capture the main contours as well as the rhetoric versus reality in this phenomenon, we propose five Parts with 24 Chapters, including Introduction and Conclusion chapters, organizing thematically to cover a broad range of the field and provide a good overview. We start with Part I to explain the institutional contexts that include historical overview of Korean economy and business, labor markets, capital markets, and Korean values and culture. Then, Part II and III will cover the main components of Korean business and management, representing macro issues and micro issues respectively. Macro issues include catchup strategies, business groups, corporate governance, and globalization. Micro issues contain such topics as human resource management, employment relations, and Korean ways of management. In addition to these Parts, we also cover emerging phenomena that includes such issues as corporate social responsibility, start-up ecosystem, K-Pop, and gender issues (Part IV). Finally, we deal with challenges and future directions (Part 5). Tentative chapters are listed below.

Manuscript Length

(1)     One-page Proposal: 500-600 words

(2)     Final Manuscript: 6,000-7,000 words (except references, tables, and figures)

Timeframe and Process

We require possible chapter contributors to provide one-page proposals by the end of January 2022. Then one of the editors communicates with each possible author to discuss the content of each chapter. When we receive the first draft at the end of July 2022, a closed seminar is held in which contributors present and comment one another. Finally, based on the comments from the seminar and editors, each contributor must revise the first draft. When the 2^nd draft is collected, the editors provide a brief comment to complete the manuscript.

(1)     Deadline for the One-page Proposal: 28 February 2022

(2)     Deadline for the 1st Draft: 31 July 2022

(3)     Closed seminar with authors (Presentation of each chapter and mutual comments): Early September 2022

(4)     Deadline for the 2nd Draft: 30 November 2022

(5)     Deadline for the Final Draft: 28 February 2023
