Cultural Mistakes in South Korea Q&A and Issues of Strategic Significance Essay

Description

This is a two-part question. Each part should be treated separately by adding the specific references to the end of the particular part. There is no need for a cover page.

b. What can you do to minimize chances of making those cultural mistakes, so that you can be more successful in South Korea?
