IIR, "A History of Korea: From Antiquity to the Present" by Michael J. Seth is an excellent book that has some great sections on the topic.
I haven't come across any real "management theory" texts out of Korea, in the same way that Kaizen came out of Japan and was all the rage in the 80s and 90s in U.S. management circles. There's probably a few reasons for it, but I think the most compelling one is that in the things that are no real international competitors in the leading industries of the day to the U.S. (software, internet stuff, etc.), so there's no real driver to look abroad and see what the other guy is doing. In the 80s and 90s, Japanese car companies started taking the stuffing out of the American auto industry, then a dominant market, and it forced people to seek out how this was happening. Today "Agile" is all the rage, and nobody is really doing it better.
However, the reverse is happening, as South Korea continues to transition to more of a service oriented economy, and American-style management practices are slowly being integrated into Korean workplaces. There's a pretty direct line from Drucker bringing Kaizen over to modern Agile practices, and I suspect that we'll see a similar Korean evolution of Agile practices that befit the culture.

The few books on Korean companies I've read, written by Americans, have been terribly pithy and missing a lot of actual history. I will still give Samsung Rising a read though.
But if you have worked with Korean companies before and have any recommendations for good histories of companies or methods, I'd love to get them. Biographies are a little more common and a little less interesting to me. Over biographies I'd prefer up to date recommendations on the Korean economy and planning. Most of the books out there were written in the 90s/00s.
Edit: recommendations don't have to be in English, Korean is fine.
