Transnational Korean Networks and Business in China

Kim, Hyejin LU (2018) In Europe-Asia Studies 70(7). p.1143-1158
Abstract
South Koreans pursuing business opportunities in China have routinely sought assistance from Chinese-born Koreans who possess the linguistic and cultural skills to help make ventures in China successful. While shared ethnicity is a proven resource for furthering transnational business, emphasis on common identity can quickly deteriorate into an emphasis on separate identities. This article examines how shared ethnicity has facilitated business between China and South Korea and how ethnic solidarity has been questioned. The study contributes to discussions about the interplay between cultural identities and transnational business.
