But Americans and Europeans are better at providing technical services, admits Seoul Businessman Chongwhan Choi, and on the whole, he says, he and his compatriots are content "doing jobs that require a lot of muscle power but little brain." To meet the construction deadline for the Jubail harbor, for example, Hyundai Co. is flying in 300 workers a week for an eventual total of 3,300, and Korean...
