...previously swelled the team to a force of more than 50. This time it's just nine workers - six men, three women (plus some family) - who pile into several sturdy vehicles for the four-hour trip across rough road. Teams used to camp by the banks of the Gregory River, and regulars speak wistfully of those times. Alas, local authorities banned the practice, pushing the scientists a little further north to the more comfortable, if less invigorating, facilities of Adels Grove camping ground...

...spent his entire career buried in LG's stuffy bureaucracy at the company's main appliance factory in the industrial city of Changwon. He admits to being more comfortable in the field visiting factory floors and design centers than in his spacious office overlooking Seoul's Han River. It would be wrong, though, to underestimate Kim, who has become a near legend in Seoul for the turnaround he engineered at LG's appliance business. When he took over in 1996, LG was making washing machines and refrigerators that seemed little more than cannon fodder for low-cost Chinese companies like...
