Based on previous research and face-to-face interviews, the book shows how contemporary Koreans negotiate traditional Confucian values and Western capitalistic values in their everyday encounters – particularly in business and professional contexts. This is a useful companion book for courses in international business, intercultural communication, and Asian studies. %K Intercultural communication, Korea, Kulturkontakt, Asia, International Business, Cross-cultural communication %G English
