Korea Inc.: Building Pre-Entrepreneurship in Korea

Theresa Youn-ja Shim

Chapter 2 in Korean Entrepreneurship, 2010, pp 17-42 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Over the centuries, researchers, especially from Western academia, have studied business entrepreneurs extensively. They have analyzed their purposes in action, in risk taking, and in growth. They have explored the entrepreneur’s “personal-value orientation” and “internal locus of control” and searched for clues to explain the entrepreneur’s propensity to seek out opportunities (Bornstein, 2007, p. 92). Business entrepreneurs and the conditions they thrive in have been thoroughly studied, including how their purpose and talents have been nurtured by Western value systems of capitalistic individualism, their social environment, government policies, and a wide range of business institutions.
