Abstract
Entering a new market demands scrupulous research on various kinds of aspects. Before choosing certain strategy, a country with proper development, demand needs to be selected. In addition, desired and deficit product has to be determined and compared with available conditions.

Entering a new market is a responsible commitment. It is also an extremely important decision and before final one, certain research needs to be done. Only analyzing key points it is possible to consider prospectively and worthwhile. There are a lot of issues to take into account. Appropriate and wise strategy will back the company up and help to become a long-term successful competitor. According to the research, Asia seems to have been developing greatly past decades. It includes countries that show advanced and fast speed developing economies, especially such ‘giants’ as China and Japan. However, these both countries are already have huge market and highly demanding consumers, in order to technology. Among all the choices, I would strongly recommend to enter the South Korean market. Its economy has decent growth and relative stability: its inflation stays on the relatively low level. The most harmful issue can be a conflict with North Korea, that can affect further country’ development. To all intents and purposes, it is necessary to consider such factors as economical, financial, political, social and technological. I would relate political to one of the most sufficient. Talking about South Korea, political aspect is formidable and won’t counteract for entering its market. Now President’s party holds the majority of places in the National Assembly, thus political structure is homogenous enough and there is less possibility for appearing menacing to the regime opponents’ disagreement. The relationships in between South Korea and North Korea are strained enough, which limits its area of distribution and lessens affection from northern neighbors. South Korea has stable

Not only was Korea’s output above what it had been before the crisis but, the IMF gleefully proclaimed, “over the past two years bold policies and a commitment to reform have made Korea a more open, competitive, and market driven economy.” Now, three years later, Korea faces an unbalanced recovery of questionable durability and a labor movement badly, perhaps fatally, wounded by neoliberalism, while the majority of its people suffer rising insecurity and…

    The six important factors to consider about South Korea’s culture is their values, norms, religion, education, social mobility, and American influences. South Korea was built up by many core values, however the most important being Confucianism. Confucianism was founded over 2000 years ago in the fifth century BC and was the official ethical system of China (Hill, Rihcardson, & McKaig, 2009). The value of Confucianism was profound in the Korean culture and it still continues to pervade amongst South Korean’s consciousness today. Confucianism shapes the Korean moral system, national laws, and business culture by placing an obligation towards relationships with others. The basic theories are based upon five different relationships: ruler and subject, husband and wife, parents and children, brothers and sisters, and friend and friend. This is important to consider when making decisions due to their high regards for respect amongst others. In addition, norms are also another component that shapes ones culture. Norms are the social rules and guidelines that define the behaviours of individuals (Hill, Richardson, & McKaig, 2009). South Korea possesses many norms, however, the most dominant is kibun, which has no literal translation that describes the pride, mood, or state of mind of an individual (Key Values and Norms, 2011). In business context, it is vital for one to show respect for others, especially those of your elders. Also, to determine one’s kibun by eye is called nunchi. Managers must be able to identify their subordinate’s nunchi to make sure they do not cross over the line of disrespect. Kibun is the facet of every Korean’s life, so it is vital to understand this norm when considering marketing Canada Goose in South Korea’s economy, specifically the distributers. The third factor to consider is South Korea’s ethical system and religion. Many scholars have argued…

    If I were to make a guess on why the US wants to stop sending high-ranking officials over to rescue American prisoners in North Korea it would be because they don’t want the high-ranking officials to be captured and put into prison. The Koreans haven’t done it yet to officials that have gone over but they might decide to. Another reason I think would be that the United States is going to stop talking and interacting with the Koreans because they are our enemies.…
