Summary

Hong Ha-sang examines Chung Ju-yung’s business life and management style in this Korean-language study. The account draws on research and interviews with former Hyundai executives and other people who worked with Chung. Its ten thematic sections consider expansion, expected future returns, trust, staff, crisis, criticism and the continuity of a business beyond its founder. Construction and overseas projects give these themes a working setting, while personal recollections add accounts of Chung’s habits and relationships. The publisher also describes discussion of his ambitions for trade and transport toward the north. The book offers a participant-informed outside view that readers can compare with Chung’s own accounts of building Hyundai.

Why read it Our view

For readers of Korean, compare the interview accounts of trust, project risk and managers with Chung’s memoirs. Ask where colleagues agree and where a later recollection may favor the founder.
