Abstract
AbstractThis study aimed to explore uncommon alternatives or fresh ideas in emergency management by comparing the US and Korean emergency management cultures. Qualitative content analysis was used as the major methodology in the comparison, which considered five factors common to the two nations: ideology, key players, management principles, material resources, and international efforts. A key finding is that, although these two nations are far apart, each country has similarly developed its own emergency management culture. The difference is that the US circular culture emphasises diverse interests, whereas the Korean angular culture is oriented more toward its professional class. Based on the results, it is recommended that each nation improve its management culture by learning from and adopting the advantages of its counterpart. The greatest value of this research is in providing a basic mechanism for the systematic comparison of two different emergency management cultures.
