The
Individual Relationship around korean business key
Korea is a one out of country that be sure to be counted
in the Asian’s great moment. The free
economical market this gingseng country becomes a one of top five in the whole
the Asia, and be a 15th grade in the world. It’s not wreak, this country
is counted as a “ Macan Asia “
Now days, the South Korea is counted as a country
which with a higher enough income by World Bank and IMF. If we have Seoul as a mother
country South Korea, this place really can be a central place of South
Korea, where is no big gap between poor people and rich people.
The country that be a family head from some big
companies like LG, Samsung, and Hyundai, has a competitive knowledge system
also can produce labors whose have high motivation and good skill. All of that
related to ethos, culture, also labor’s culture from its labors.
With the differences between cultures, the business
culture of Korea becomes a challenge for the foreign entrepreneur. Almost the
Korea’s companies are influenced by Confucianism culture. The companies of Korea
generally have a high hierarchy system and centralization with some people “core
“included managers who can make a big decision. All of job’s descriptions, authority
and the work relationship between boss and employer based on seniorities.
The entrepreneur who haven’t be ready and be
experienced with Confucianism will find obstacle to do business in Korea. Even
tough, there are so many Korean’s people got a knowledge in Western, the norms
of Confucianism still dominant and look clearly in Korea. The foreign people mustn’t have to follow
social norms in Korea totally. But, they can be more respect if want to share
their carrying and their spirit to learn some key words in the Korea language
and follow some social norms.
Korean’s entrepreneur hopes that they can fulfill a
promise and be on time to come in the meeting. The first professional
traditional that can be done between both of them in meeting is change name
card each card. It is important to make believing also relationship in order
the process can be running well. It doesn’t like in Western, this process needs
time and be patient. Korea’s people are
happy to business with the people that have known before. From the Western’s
people side, Koreans are considered almost “sensitive “. They don’t like to
lost their face and be placed in the difficult position in front of the other
people.
The first meeting is usually to grow up the
believing. So they don’t refer to main problem. We have to be formal person
until the Koreans or the delegations show the enjoy attitude. The successful of
business also related to the social relationship. Sharing dinner each other can
be a way to grow up the relation that can push the occurring of believing. The
Koreans businessmen are great negotiation. They admire the companies that have delegations
which can negotiate perseveringly, but doesn’t much aggressive. The sensitive
issues generally be told letter, while the process runs, especially if related
difficult things and financial problem.
Encouraging to be introduced through to both of
sides than contact its life or contacts them randomly. To meet the special
person, it must be related to how can be introducing done. A credible mediator can help to get
the believing from the Korean’s businessmen. Even less, if the respect
delegations. Usually, they need time to decide the decision because this case is
taken by the collective agreement. The time
which needs a longer than the perspective before.
If we can from the language imagine before. Their
perceptions and understanding often be lost from the truth, what the Western
people. The culture differences often occurs the big enough hindrance in the
communications. Usually, the western people try to repeat or make in some
repetition in order to make understanding well. In another hand, they change
their own notes each others in order to understand the main of both of sides.
In Korea, legal document is not important if it is
considered with individual relationship. Also they don’t like detailed contract
or difficult. They are be more like the flexible contract in order to do the
adaptations with the changes of conditions, that happened perhaps. It is more
important to make relations based on believing and gives advantages than make a
long and detail contract. For Korea’s people, “what “ is not important in the
contain of , even “ who” signing it, and “why“ contract is mad.
Entertainment is also as an important position in
the relationship in Korea. They always compete to drink and change a little
present. Now, golf as a favorite sport
and become a interested thing. By this activity, the business relation can
become more personal. The knowledge about family, state, hobby, birthday,
experience, until the philosophy of individual can be gotten by the
entertainment and sport. Even, one out of informal agreement from the side that
has believed can be more influenced than the written agreement document.
The concept of Korea’s culture basically included as
Kibun, Inhawa, and Confusianism. There is no meaning in the word Kibun in
English. But, as a concept that grasp all of life aspect Koreas people, that
word can be described as a pride of, mood, countenance or the way to look. In
struggle to save Kibun, properly in the business context, a person must respect
to others and avoid all of things that can make person becomes shy. In the
cultureless, where social harmonist is considered as an important thing, the
ability to intemperate others mind (often be called Nunchi ) is important to
run the business.
Inhawa is an imaginary of Confisian believing. It
means that the approach of Korea harmonization. As a one of collective
civilization, the decision from discussion result is important to maintain a
harmonization in Korea. In order the
Inhawa can run in accordance with, Koreas people always try to be with positive
answers and averse to ignore directly. In the Korea’s culture, this thing is
mirror in the company’s loyalty, obedience, and labor’s attitude.
However Confucianism is a philosophy that can
influence a lot of Korean’s people. The root of Korean’s culture, so it
infiltrates to other people in there. This philosophy forms a moral, national
law and life style in Korea generally, starts from family to the their social
life.
Released from another influenced, South Korea can
still maintain its identity and clear characteristic and homogeny. There are so
many influences that are felt from the believing. One more again, Korea has an
exciting view and landscape. Korean’s civilizations maintain the legacy or
unique aircraft also the language that formed by the long history and curving.
As a result, that thing is mirrored in the culture and working culture or it
business.
The changes of Korea still to be continued. Even
though this country has known as its story that enough complicated from Japan
in the last of World War II, they still face the Cold War. But, Korea produced
the significant increasing and more grow up that will become one out of the big
one in the Asia, except Japan and China the business opportunity that grow up
in the Korea also increase the interested and the curious the its culture
knowledge.
