The Diamond Dilemma provides a profound, provocative and unique outsider's inside perspective on the country's future prospects. From the impact of China, conglomerates, foreign direct investment to education, the book covers all the major issues that will shape Korea. The book was first released in Korea, where it received wide-spread acclaim and media attention. The English edition was first published in 2007, and has received positive reviews amongst the global media and opinion leaders. The Financial Times included the Diamond Dilemma in its list of must reads for business travelers to Korea. Arguably, its key messages and recommendations are even more relevant today, with a new administration in place, and given upheaval at Samsung, the country's most successful and powerful conglomerate. The second edition provides an updated preface to comment on these latest events, as well as a new, eye-catching design and layout.
