BOOK DESCRIPTION
Hyundai Motor Group didn’t just build cars. It rebuilt itself — and in doing so, rewrote the rules for how a Korean conglomerate competes on the global stage.
Hyundai Way: Transformation takes readers inside the decisions, the culture, and the leadership dynamics that drove Hyundai from a regional manufacturer into a global force in EVs, robotics, and AI-powered manufacturing. Drawing on decades of direct access and deep expertise in Korean business culture, author Don Southerton delivers the account that no outside analyst could — one that captures not just what happened, but why it happened the way it did.
Whether you’re tracking Korea’s industrial evolution, navigating a Korea-US business relationship, or simply trying to understand how transformation actually works inside a chaebol, this is the book.
