The book traces the development of Korean IFDI policy from one of restriction and control to one of encouragement and promotion. Specifically, it focuses on the challenges inherent in reforming the software of IFDI promotion (socio-cultural issues, mindsets and perceptions) as opposed to changing its hardware (systems, laws and regulations). \n\nAlthough the Korean government has made sustained efforts over the past decade to enhance Koreas attractions as a host for inward investment, it has faced significant challenges in improving Kore.
