How business is done in North Korea
Population
About 26 million (2023); one of the world's most closed and controlled states, concentrated around Pyongyang. Isolated and sanctioned.
Language(s) spoken
Korean is the language (a distinct northern standard); outside access to the population is almost nonexistent. The market is effectively closed.
How business decisions are made
A closed, state-controlled command economy under heavy international sanctions and near-total isolation; there is effectively no open market for Western business, and all activity runs through the state. The environment is closed and inaccessible.
Effective marketing
There is essentially no conventional marketing environment open to outside firms; media and connectivity are state-controlled and the population is unreachable. Note that sanctions and isolation make marketing unviable.
Similar countries
No practical regional peer for market purposes; South Korea and China are neighbors, but North Korea is effectively closed and distinct.
