"The Hyundai Business Group is the largest of the Korean conglomerates, or 'Chaebol', yet little is known about its labour-management strategies. In this book, detailed case studies of Hyundai's three core subsidiaries in construction, shipbuilding and automobile manufacturing, provide the basis for an examination of the labour-management policies and practices of this corporate giant." "As Hyundai becomes an increasingly powerful global player, this book will prove to be of vital interest to policy makers seeking an exploration of the growth of the Chaebol and the impact of the current economic crisis on South Korean workplace industrial relations. It will also be essential reading for all those concerned with the study of labour management in newly industrialised countries."--BOOK JACKET.
