South Korean companies need to improve their strict top-down management structure and culture of frequent after-work drinking if they want to hire talented workers in China, a local trade association said Thursday.
In a survey of 465 applicants for jobs in Korean firms operating in China, the Korea International Trade Association found more than 27 percent of the respondents picked the after-work drinking culture and top-down management style as two major things that should be improved, KITA said in a statement.
