Being Better at Doing Good: Organizational Engagement and International Management Practices in the DPR (North) Korea

Abstract: International organizations work in North Korea (the DPRK) under multiple external and internal pressures, and they try to respond to their working environment in their own ways. However, it is important that these organizations are able to work effectively, in order for international engagement with the DPRK or any transition to be meaningful. In this research, utilizing the case study method, I explore the following questions: How can international organizations work more effectively in the DPRK? How can they achieve their outputs and outcomes more easily? What are the dynamics of the mutual embeddedness process as international organizations become immersed in the context of the DPRK? I find that organizations in their efforts to respond to the environment in the DPRK end up compromising their effectiveness in avoidable ways. I explore what works and what does not for organizational management in the DPRK and make some recommendations.
