Strategic Management
You are an executive of an American company. You have been sent to South Korea to expand your company’s operations in that country.

(a) From your knowledge (or research) of cultural differences between the South Koreans and Americans, what two cultural mistakes are you likely to commit in South Korea that would irritate the Korean people?

(b) What can you do to minimize chances of making those cultural mistakes, so that you can be more successful in South Korea?

P.S. This question is not about Americans in general; it is about you, as an American, in particular. You need to get personal and apply it to yourself. Don’t write in general terms about Americans. Furthermore, you should not write in general about “another country.” This is specifically about South Korea.
