First Cultural Post: What are your cultural learning goals for this semester?
During this semester I am interested in learning more about how to do business in Korean, the behaviors and expectations. I know that in Asia and in Korea specifically, the way that one is doing business is drastically different from western cultures. Some regular actions for us can be perceived as rude in Korea and there are some expectations from Korean people that are important for someone to meet in order to be accepted.
It is an interesting topic for me since I plan to meet some partners in Korea, to set up some meetings there and to eventually sign some contracts. I will probably use manuals and websites focused on 'doing business in Korea' in order to learn the behavior of Korean businessman along with the vocabulary needed.
