Interkulturelle Wirtschaftskommunikation zwischen Deutschland und Korea: Problematik im interkulturellen Verstehen in Bezug auf die Arbeitsweise von Deutschen und Koreanern

Abstract: Economical relationships between German and South Korean companies are successfully growing. Nevertheless, difficulties in understanding each other in face-to-face-communication between managers of both countries become evident when management styles of the own culture are applied to multi-cultural business situations. Such conflicts lead to an increasing interest in theories of intercultural business communication in South Korea. The following article summarizes the outcome of a research project "A Transcultural Study for Solution of Trading Conflicts between Korea and the EU" which was conducted in 2003. The goal of the project was to make out culture-based differences in German and Korean management styles. The focus was put on three main domains which seem to be the most outstanding causes of conflicts: 1. valuation of the written and oral word in business communication; 2. concepts of time in mutual planing activities and 3. methods of operation in carrying out business plans
