Comments
Point 1
Pushing for progress too quickly can result in overlooking many important aspects, which may require more investment in terms of cost and time. While it is true that the fast-paced culture has contributed significantly to Korea’s economic growth, it has also left many side effects in terms of lacking basic concepts and skills.
Point 2
Once you learn it and see it in action all around, you can really gain an appreciation and understanding of 빨리빨리.
Point 3
And a well-taken argument.
Knowing that parameters will change encourages starting projects and the processes fast and then adapting vs. investing considerable time upfront.
Comments?
Look for my next Korean Business Culture…
