This report was commissioned by the Australia-Korea Foundation and
was undertaken by Dr Michael Porter (Tasman Asia Pacific), Steve Doszpot
(Duesburys Strategic Connections, a division of Duesburys Chartered Accountants),
and Ron Maxwell (Maxwell and Druce International Pty Ltd).
It is the outcome of many peoples' time and effort both in Australia
and Korea. We are most appreciative to the many business people and public
servants in Australia and in Korea who so generously gave us their valuable
time and shared their experiences and ideas with our study team, in the many
hours of interviews that we conducted. We are especially grateful for the
assistance and advice provided to us by the Canberra based officers of the
Australia-Korea Foundation and the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade,
the Australian Embassy staff in Seoul, Korea, the management and staff of
the Macquarie Bank in Korea and Australia, the officials of the Embassy of
the Republic of Korea, Austrade, the Australia New Zealand Chamber of Commerce
in Korea (ANZCCK) and the staff of various industry associations both in
Korea and Australia.
Finally, we are especially grateful to our business colleagues and
our families for their encouragement, patience, and support during the course
of this project.
