ABSTRACT
A key issue for management concerns women in work, not just for moral and ethical reasons, but also for economic/business imperatives. Indeed, the full utilisation of the labour force and all its talents is an important aspect of competition. This is increasingly so with contemporary moves from ideas and practices of ‘equal opportunities’ (reducing peoples’ differences and making everyone similar) towards more ‘managing diversity’ (recognising and utilising peoples’ differences), demographics and social changes. This applies to South Korea (‘Korea’ hereinafter) and its human resources (HR) and women in management.
