Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: This paper summarizes a case study analysis of work values, ethics, and communication styles among four types of Koreans: a traditional Korean, three young Koreans, a white Korean- American, and a black Korean- American. These individuals worked at a Korean- owned small business. Data for this qualitative study were drawn from multiple research methods, including an exploratory survey, participant observations, a focus group interview, and two in-depth interviews. This study challenges cultural concepts about Koreans and offers postmodern theories to explain the differences and similarities among different types of Koreans. A key finding of this study challenges the notion that values tend to be stable while communication styles are more flexible. Participants showed changing work values, yet stable communication styles. This study is useful in understanding the diversity and similarities among Koreans in the United States, and offers some guidelines for leaders in multicultural organizations.
