Rezensionen

'Martin Hemmert's The Evolution of Tiger Management represents a major step in furthering our understanding of business practices and management strategies in one of the global economy's true superpowers. The book is well researched, authoritative, impartial, and interesting to read. It provides an in-depth look into how Korea's major firms-and many of its new start-ups-compete and win. This is a must-read for anyone interested in studying international business.' - Richard M. Steers, Emeritus Professor of Organization and Management, University of Oregon, USA

'This new version of the original excellent book is to be welcomed and the author congratulated as several new contributions to the field of the study of Korean management with relevance to the wider global economy are made. These contributions are both in terms of the place in the international environment and global practice of Korean-style management, as well as specific areas within it, such as Korean human resource management.



The book traces the emergence, development and use of what is calls 'Tiger Management' with its key features of ambition, aggressiveness, resilience, strong leadership, speed and flexibility. The book also not only updates the original content, but usefully expands it from the more traditional focus on manufacturing to cover some less covered and newer sectors, such as venture firms and start ups.



This new book will help put Korean management more on the world stage, both as an interesting model in its own right and one that is not only sustainable, but also perhaps one with possible elements to be used by managers elsewhere. As such, this book and its examples will help provide a useful counter-foil to the more traditional narrow minded and ethnocentric views of the need for Asia more generally to change to use global best practices from the West.' - Professor Chris Rowley, Kellogg College, University of Oxford

'This book thoroughly examines the dynamics of Korean business practices and structures of Korean chaebuls with recent developments of Korean economic system. It discusses a wide range of issues incorporating historical, socio cultural, institutional, as well as economic characteristics of Korea. It also provides numerous success and failure cases of Korean business strategies and management. This book is recommended not only for academic researchers and instructors but also for practitioners and government officials who are interested in Korean business and economy.' - Mannsoo Shin, Professor, Korea University Business School

'Within a short time period, Korean companies such as Samsung and Hyundai have become world-leading companies. This book is an extremely useful resource for managers and researchers to better understand how Korean companies have been able to achieve this remarkable feature. The chapters of this book provide a number of important insights about the internationalization, business strategies, leadership, and human resource management that contribute to the success of Korean companies.' - Fabian Jintae Froese, Chair Professor of Human Resource Management and Asian Business, University of Goettingen
