Business and management
Running a company: sales, profit, customers and competition.
Business Korean counts the money in the order an accountant does: 매출 is what comes in from sales, 원가 what the goods cost to make, and 이익 or 손해 what is left. The books have colours, as in English: 적자 is “red letters”, 흑자 “black letters”. The newer corners of business are filled with English loanwords: 마케팅, 스타트업, 프랜차이즈.
