다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This paper introduces the field of business anthropology to international business scholars in South Korea, and explores questions related to the teaching and promotion of business anthropology in Korea and Northeast Asia. Business anthropology has taken off in the West since the 1970s. It provides rich insights for business and international business. Practitioners are highly valued by many high technology firms in the United States and Europe,including many of the most prestigious companies. The field is commonly unknown to business scholars in Northeast Asia. After presenting the study’s research methodology,theoretical background, literature review, research contexts and relevant background on anthropology, international business and international studies, the study follows with a case study of business anthropology education at the Graduate School of International Studies at Pusan National University. The case study explores how well business anthropology has been received at the school and investigates possibilities for increasing the teaching of the subject there. A broader issue is how the tools of business anthropology can be developed within GSIS and PNU to better meet the needs of Busan’s businesses and industries.
Finally, the research considers the question
