This book contains the self-management and management secrets of Chairman Han Young-su, who grew a small factory into a global strong small and medium enterprise. It is a story from the management field looking back on 50 years of Han Young Nux, which started in 1972 with two employees in a small tent office in Mullae-dong, and introduces the management philosophy of an engineer entrepreneur who has constantly challenged without fearing change. Han Young Nux is a leading manufacturer of factory automation control devices, supplying parts necessary for measuring and controlling the status of production equipment. Currently, it employs about 1,000 people and produces about 8,000 products.

"What are the characteristics of Korean-style small and medium enterprises?" "What differences do Korean-style innovative companies have?" "What strengths do Korean-style long-lived companies possess?" Does the word 'Korean-style' really fit in an era like today? I ask myself these questions and answer them myself to find the signals implied by 'doing business in Korea.' The story of Han Young Nux, which has continuously grown for 50 years in the same industry, is both my story and Han Young's innovation journey. The 50 blocks discovered within will serve as a compass and milestone. --- From the 'Preface'

Communication follows the same principle. One must reach a level where the need for communication is not even felt. The answer is simple. Members of the organization should see each other frequently. When they meet and talk often, they do not feel the need for communication. I want to emphasize that communication should be done not by mouth but by feet. The strongest message can be shared when communicating through actions rather than words. Keeping promises well is an important value for office workers. If executives thoroughly keep their promises by example, there is no more effective communication than that. I often see employees rushing around to keep time. When I ask employees if they are busy, my heart is full of gratitude because it is a form of communication through actions. --- From Chapter 4, 'Employees_Business Well-being Goals'

The essence of business in the new 50 years will not change significantly. However, the way to achieve the essence will change and evolve greatly. One must not show a rigid attitude toward changes in times and environment. I want to emphasize that while maintaining the essential values of management, one must respond flexibly to the means of achieving goals. In the future, the era of MTC using artificial intelligence will open. Control devices will use machine learning algorithms such as deep learning to measure, trace, and control like humans. In other words, it will be possible to operate unmanned automated factories where control devices themselves calculate optimal values without skilled workers to achieve uniform quality and high productivity. Han Young Nux's products will contribute to society even in that era. --- From Chapter 10, 'Responsibility_Why We Do Business'
