Similar cultural background is the basis of easy combination between the two sides. The cultural exchanges between China and South Korea have a long history. China had cultural, political and religious exchanges as early as the Tang and Song Dynasties. The two sides learn from each other, complement each other and promote each other. The living habits and social etiquette of Koreans are similar to those of China. In terms of writing, Korean characters accepted and retained a large number of Chinese characters, which largely eliminated the communication difficulties between the two sides in today's exchanges, reached a situation of mutual understanding and mutual understanding, and laid a good foundation for sincere cooperation between the two sides. Especially in enterprise management, the cultures of the two countries have not caused much conflict, and they have a good understanding of each other's behaviors and ways of thinking and have achieved good cooperation.
South Korea's management methods mainly come from the United States and Japan, and with the influence of traditional culture, it has formed its own management style.
1. Comparatively speaking, Sino-Korean joint ventures pay attention to the establishment of CI, and many enterprises are willing to invest huge sums of money to invite experts to carry out high-level design. Most of their enterprises prefer blue and white, and many enterprises use these two colors in their factories, factory flags, product packaging and instructions. In foreign exchanges, they try to print the factory emblem in a prominent position, whether on famous brands or product brochures. In addition to uniform colors, workers' work clothes and helmets also pay attention to the promotion of corporate image, and there are clear regulations on the use of these "visual" images. In the implementation of corporate culture, they emphasize the unity of behavior, such as collective training before morning shift, raising the factory flag, singing factory songs, and collective exercise before class to enhance collective consciousness, strengthen discipline and increase the concept of cooperation. In concept construction, they pay attention to the training of employees, improve the technical level and comprehensive quality of employees, strengthen the cultivation of entrepreneurial spirit, and the spirit of loving factories and posts is commended and carried forward.
2. Sino-Korean joint ventures pay attention to enterprise basic management construction. They emphasize the classification, arrangement and preservation of all kinds of files. The general manager of South Korea not only established a perfect office management system, but also took pains to check the desks of employees and gave hands-on guidance, such as how to file contracts, how to save faxes, how to clean desks and so on. They pay special attention to the wearing of work clothes. They must dress neatly when they go to work, and do not wear work clothes when they get off work and work in factories. In addition to collecting and sorting carefully, they also pay attention to information management, especially the enjoyment of * * *. The most contact between South Korean General Manager and Marketing Department and ministry of materials and equipment is to convey the relevant information of customers. Koreans pay attention to the physical and chemical work of measurement. They would rather pay 10 times more to buy measuring instruments imported from Europe and America, and also make a fuss about the quality problem of the domestic meter ruler 1mm, resulting in the product with 12m length being short 1.2cm, so as to fully educate workers.
In terms of management procedures, Koreans not only pay attention to the formulation of ISO9000 standards and systems, but also constantly undermine these systems. They are not as disciplined and organized as Europeans and Americans. This may be a practice of Drucker's view that whether to follow the correct procedure is secondary, and what is important is to do things well.
3. In the aspect of human resource management, Koreans have made many assessments on the recruited personnel. After recruiting personnel in the talent market according to the requirements of each department, the personnel department will go to the department to meet with the department manager and conduct business assessment. After the department manager signs and agrees, the general manager will interview in person. The interview of the general manager covers a wide range, including appearance, manners, professional ability and experience, foreign language expression ability, and even a detailed understanding of family members. Business and foreign languages should also be written. After the interview, the general manager will make a score, which represents his views and opinions on this person, and the personnel department will handle the employment problem according to the score.
Personnel training is also an important part of human resource management. The general manager and technical director of the joint venture often provide management and technical training to managers and workers, and actively send some personnel to South Korea to learn management, production and technical knowledge when necessary. In some cases, the general manager of South Korea will also directly conduct specialized business training for individuals. For example, in the procurement business, the business director of a commodity procurement is often invited to the office for business explanation and training, and hands-on guidance on how to contact and carry out business.
4. The difference between entrepreneurs The general manager of South Korea always takes some time to "patrol" the front line of production and operation every day. In this way, he found problems in production and operation, had a basic understanding of production and operation, and solved them promptly and effectively. At the same time, it also strengthens communication with front-line managers and production workers, and grasps the ideas and needs of grassroots personnel, so as to formulate policies more effectively and manage enterprises correctly.
The advantages of production factors induce Korean enterprises to seek development in China. The lack of resources in Korea will inevitably lead to the high cost of production factors, which in turn will lead to the rise of product prices and reduce the competitive advantage of products in the market. As a newly industrialized country, it must take establishing a country through trade as the general policy of development, and the high cost caused by production factors is a major obstacle to its development. According to the factor endowment of international trade theory, South Korea, which does not have much advantage in production factors, will not have much advantage in trade and it is difficult to gain benefits. However, they adopted the policy of overseas investment, made use of their own funds, technologies and brands, and combined with the advantages of various local resources, and continued to grow and develop in the international market.
The compatibility of China's management style and cultural thinking is conducive to strengthening cooperation. It is easy for both sides to communicate and understand the formulation of the management system and the implementation of the management methods of the Sino-Korean joint venture. Compared with our joint venture with western countries, the barriers of culture and way of thinking are much smaller. In joint ventures with western enterprises, people can't get along with each other directly because of culture, language, customs and other reasons, which often can't guarantee the effectiveness and normality of their work, and even affect the normal interpersonal relationship and the development of enterprises. In the contact with Koreans, I didn't feel too much "foreign" spirit.
There is a stubborn side in Korean corporate culture. No country is more important than China in South Korea's foreign relations.
When it comes to China culture, Quan said that he most appreciates what China people say "almost". Compared with the directness and toughness of Koreans, he thinks that these three words embody the "golden mean" and "harmony is the most precious" of China culture.
Quan Heda analyzed that South Korea has a small territory and a single ethnic composition, and the same personality makes them prefer to express different things, while China has a vast territory and diverse ethnic groups, so we get together and "seek common ground while reserving differences".
"When doing business, it helps everyone to keep a peaceful mind and seek common interests." He compared doing business to building a big ship. Only when everyone affirmed the interests of * * * and reached an understanding of * * *, can cooperation continue and the ship be built.
Well, that's enough about Korea.
I don't want to talk about enterprises in my own country. China is too big, the forest is too big, and there are all kinds of birds. Be sure to grasp a typical, characteristic or something. History has proved that it is purely useless.
