"Four Principles to Understanding and Expressing “No” in a Korean Business Setting"

When doing business in Korea, many foreigners find themselves frustrated when getting to a “no” answer involves an unnecessarily long process and when Koreans verbalize intent that conflicts with their actions, such as saying, “Yes, I’ll do it” and then making up excuses or dragging their feet on projects, job offers and social invitations.

Stephane Mot

KBC Member Stephane Mot in The Korea Herald talking biz in Asia

"Korea the younger, smarter brother of China? The cliche cumulates too many “no-nos” to be sustainable. First, nations are not anthropomorphic entities you can compare on moral grounds. Second, Northeast Asian relations can be as touchy as minefields, and the epicenter of Confucianism is not the ideal playground for audacious familial metaphors. Ask a Chinese nationalist, and he’d rather consider South Korea and its actual sibling, North Korea, as mere provinces bound to get back to their Motherland. And why not throw in Japan, Russia, or the U.S. for a fuller familial picture?"
