Synopsis
South Korea known as the hermit kingdom was wrenched from its isolation in the mid-seventies with the forced industialisation of its economy by Park Chung-hee during his dictatorial regime. This led South Korea to becoming the most rapidly industialised country in the world with world class technology and a population who are largely digitally proficient. The course is charted from the rule of Park Chung-hee to his democratically elected daughter President Park Geun-hye who is now on trial for corruption. The legacy of the Park to Park era is not only the most fruitful in Korean history but the most tumultuous, most recently because of the accelerated nuclear ambitions of North Korea. The analysis is through the framework of investment, innovation and intellectual property rights and the double edged sword of cult and rapid action, so central to Korean culture. New & Used

A new book by Prof Ruth Taplin, an economist with inside experience of East Asia, provides essential context and a pathway to a holistic understanding of the boom and bust trajectory of the johnny-come-lately of the shipping markets." - James Brewer, Former Insurance Editor Lloyd's List, http://www.allaboutshipping.co.uk/2018/06/10/innovation-investment-and-intellectual-property-in-south-korea/
"In her most comprehensive but eminently readable book Ruth Taplin has produced a "must read" for any foreign enterprise or individual wanting to do business in South Korea. Ruth draws attention to how fundamental to doing business in the ROK is an understanding of the workings of the chaebol. She provides very valuable insights particularly into the way Samsung and its owning family operates but also points to the fact that there are some key differences into how others are managed. Again, please let me congratulate Ruth on this extremely valuable contribution to understanding how to do business in South Korea." - Mack Williams, Australian Ambassador to South Korea 1994-1998, Former Vice-Chancellor of the University of Sydney, Australia
