Download or read book Trade Secrets written by Mirjana Stankovic and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 16 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: South Korea is one of the world's largest economies experiencing rapid growth of the high tech sector. As a result of this, there is a growing awareness of the importance of trade secrets as valuable corporate property among the South Korean corporations that invest extensively in R&D capacities.In the past, South Korean law has traditionally been scarcely protective of trade secrets of companies. However, the rapid South Korean economic development, the globalization of the South Korean corporations and the penetration of big multinational enterprises into the South Korean market has triggered development of dynamic domestic market of intangibles. This in turn triggered several major trade secret infringement cases and since then has put a pressure on the South Korean government to undertake measures directed towards trade secrets legal regime's strengthening. It is believed that stronger legal protection of trade secrets and other intangibles will secure further development of the intangibles' market and attract more investments and technology transfer from abroad, especially from the United States.

Book excerpt: Throughout the last several decades, Korean companies have entered the world markets in a wide range of manufacturing industries with great success. How did they achieve this exceptional performance? This book uncovers the secret of their performance through a comprehensive analysis of the Korean management system. It explains to an international audience how it has developed, why it works so well, and what non-Koreans can learn from it. The book analyzes the management of Korean firms from three different perspectives. First, a historical perspective is applied by showing how Tiger Management has emerged and how it has been continuously advanced over the last 50 years. The breathtaking stories of how Korean companies, seemingly coming from nowhere, have challenged their Western and Japanese competitors on the world markets are told. Second, the cornerstones of Tiger Management are analyzed from a functional viewpoint, showing that the success of Korean companies rests on a smart combination of business strategy, leadership, and human resource management practices. Finally, the present and future of Tiger Management is discussed by showing how Korean companies have adapted to changes in their business environment at home and abroad, and what non-Korean companies can learn from their Korean rivals. The book gives an up-to-date analysis of Korean management practices from a global perspective. It identifies the success factors of Korean companies: long term, aggressive and persisting business planning, speed, flexibility, strong leadership, strong teamwork, and high investment into human skills and capabilities. It illustrates how these management practices complement each other and provides non-Korean companies with signposts how they can adopt them.

This book was released on 2013-03-18 with total page 49 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the closing years of the nineteenth century, East Asia saw traditional institutions erode under the weight of modernization, westernization, and imperialism.

Meanwhile, open conflict erupted on the peninsula between rival Japanese and Chinese forces. The outcome was substantial socio-economic transformation. By 1895, the Korean monarch King Kojong looked to align with the West to thwart ever-growing Japanese imperialism. King Kojong pursued a strategy of granting trade concessions to westerners in hopes that the investors would pressure their governments to support the monarchy and contain Japanese imperialism.The most successful of these concessions were granted to several Americans. By the early 1900s, the American-run Northern Frontier mines were among the richest in Asia. It is here, in what is today North Korea, that Connecticut-born Josh Gillet ventures and Book Three of A Yankee in the Land of the Morning Calm saga continues....
