      abstract = {In 1962, South Korea assembled just 1,100 new automobiles.  By 1996, this total had soared to 2,812,714. What explains  this remarkable growth? The answer is complex, and involves  a combination of a supportive State, timely technology  alliances, a skilled but historically low-paid workforce,  aggressive pricing, savvy entrepreneurs, and fortuitous  circumstances. Despite this amazing ascent, comparatively  little has been written about the Korean auto industry in  English. In the first of a two-volume set, this 11-chapter  book seeks to help fill this void by providing in-depth  examinations of all six of Koreas automakers from their  beginnings through 1996. Uniquely written from the  perspective of industry analysts at the time (without  knowledge of the Asian Fiscal Crisis), the book should  prove informative to practitioners, scholars, and students  interested in automotive history, international political  economy, Asian studies, and more. A.J. Jacobs is Professor  of Sociology at East Carolina University, USA.},
