Tough work at a Korean company

A bunch of us read an article in Business Week about Hyundai/Kia's management style.

Needless to say, it is fascinating to read, the head of the company deciding to fire its US president and VP of Marketing, and the top-down approach of management. In some ways you can't argue with the results of the company, but it shows a fascinating view of some cultural differences between Korea and the US. It just doesn't make me want to work for the company ;)
