Introduction


At the end of the '90s, the Koreans experienced a great ordeal such as the IMF relief assistance, the restructuring, and subsequent devaluation of the Won. However, we must admit that we have learned precious lessons during these dark days.
For we could find out the right direction by mulling over what had gone wrong and how to mend it. It was also a great opportunity for us to reconfirm our efforts to make a world in which more people are healthier and happier. This is our privilege and our responsibility as well.
I can still remember those faces of hard-working KunWha people at labs, factories, and in the market places. I've already seen the beginning of the 21st century in their resolute expressions.
I felt that with them, KunWha's dream to make a happier world will come true in the near future. We will be more studious in our research, which will be the source of our competitive power. In the future, we KunWha Pharmaceutical company will build up a stronger tie with customers by training elite researchers equipped with accomplishments and specialties, together with a program of seminars and academic conferences. In addition, we will open a new chapter of a leading marketing strategy of the 21st century by introducing a cyber management paradigm which will provide the work force with a notebook computer and an e-mail address.
