In the wake of the recent accomplishments of the Hyundai Motor Group and respectively the Hyundai Motor and Kia Motors brands a question is often raised, “What makes Hyundai so successful?”
I tackle this question from a cultural perspective, leaving aspects of such as sustainable production networks, ever changing consumer appeal and brand image staying power for my colleagues in the industry. My objective for Hyundai Way: Hyundai Speed is simply to share insights into the Hyundai Motor Group—a unique inside view of a unique corporate culture.
In addition to the growing number of Hyundai and Kia Motors enthusiasts wishing to learn more about the carmaker, I see several target audiences for the book. First for the global teams working for the Hyundai Motor Group and its affiliates, Hyundai Way: Hyundai Speed will build upon their current experiences, while providing new understandings.
A second audience is for firms and vendors providing services or products to the Hyundai Motor Group. This book will be beneficial in strengthening and maintaining the relationship.
A third readership is for companies with significant Korea-based business. Although specifically the book offers insights into the Hyundai Motor, the broader content and insights can apply to many Korean firms in sectors outside automotive.
