Planning for Railway Station Network Sustainability Based on Node–Place Analysis of Local Stations
sustainability Article Planning for Railway Station Network Sustainability Based on Node–Place Analysis of Local Stations Joon-Seok Kim and Nina Shin * College of Business Administration, Sejong University, Seoul 05006, Korea; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: We principally focus on evaluating the local and entire network performance of railway stations for sustainable logistics management in South Korea. Specifically, we aim to address the issue of dealing with vulnerability in logistics dependent on the degree of connectivity. To resolve this issue, we investigate (i) the current level of local railway station sustainability performance from the perspectives of the value of the station (node) and the geographical location (place), and (ii) how railway station network management can prepare for imminent internal and external risks. Integrating node–place analysis and social network analysis approaches, we demonstrate a means of assessing (i) local railway station performance by comparing how one station’s value differs from that of other stations, and (ii) overall railway network performance by measuring the degree of connectivity based on the centrality characteristics. Consequently, we recommend improvement in planning orders considering the degree of local performance and network vulnerability for railway station network sustainability.

Korean multinationals show solid recovery after global crisis Report dated November 16, 2010 EMBARGO: The contents of this report must not be quoted or summarized in the print, broadcast or electronic media before November 16, 2010, 10:00 a.m. Seoul; 1 a.m. GMT, and 9:00 p.m. November 15, 2010, New York. Seoul and New York, November 16, 2010 The Institute of International Affairs of the Graduate School of International Studies (GSIS) at Seoul National University in Seoul, and the Vale Columbia Center on Sustainable International Investment (VCC) at Columbia University in New York, are releasing the first annual report on leading Korean multinationals. The research for this report was conducted in 2010 and covers the period 2007 to 2009. 1 Highlights The Republic of Korea (henceforth ‘Korea’), the 11 th largest economy in the world, has now become one of the leading investors abroad. The number and the size of the corporate giants that dominate the economy have increased over the years, boosting and diversifying their investments around the world. Korea’s multinational enterprises ranked by their foreign assets (see table 1 below) show about USD 93 billion in assets held abroad. 2 Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. (SEC), a member of a leading Korean conglomerate, ranked 1 st with slightly over USD 18 billion, followed by another top conglomerate member, LG Electronics, with over USD 10 billion dollars. Hyundai Heavy Industries Co., Ltd, and DSME Co., Ltd, had foreign assets of over USD 8 billion each and LG Display had over USD 6 billion. The top five firms together accounted for just over half of the total foreign assets of the top 20 companies. -
Changes and Continued Growth of Foreign Investment
The Top 20 Korean Multinationals: Changes and Continued Growth of Foreign Investment Seoul and New York, March 5, 2015 Graduate School of International Studies at Seoul National University in Seoul, and the Columbia Center on Sustainable Investment (CCSI), a joint center of the Columbia Law School and the Earth Institute at Columbia University in New York, are releasing the results of their survey of Korean multinationals today. The survey, conducted during 2014, is part of a long-term study of the rapid global expansion of multinational enterprises (MNEs) from emerging markets.1 The research for this report was conducted in 2014 and covers the period from 2011 to 2013.2 Highlights In 2013, the top 20 Korean multinationals, ranked by their foreign assets (See Table 1), jointly held US$68.9 billion assets abroad.3 Most firms were subsidiaries of Korea’s eight leading business groups (or chaebols), including Samsung, POSCO, LG, Hyundai Heavy Industries, Hyundai-Kia Motors, SK, Lotte, and Hyosung Group. Five out of the 20 multinationals were also included in UNCTAD’s “Top 100 non-financial TNCs from developing and transition economies” in 2012.4 The average age of the top 20 firms is about 47 years, which is two times the average age of Korea’s top 1,000 firms (ranked in terms of total assets). There is a high concentration by the top players in the list in terms of foreign assets. Among the top 20 companies, Samsung Electronics, POSCO, and Hyundai Motor Company ranked in the top three in that order. There was a significant difference between first and second place, with the foreign assets of Samsung Electronics more than doubling that of POSCO. -

History of the Korea Internet
2013 Korea Internet White Paper Notice ● The Special Report and the Top 10 News on the Internet contained in this White Paper have been selected through discussion by the editing committee, which is composed of experts from the industry, academia, research institutes and the government. ● The numbers in the statistical tables and diagrams have been rounded off for the sake of convenience, and thus the sum of specific items may not always correspond with the total. ● The 2013 Korea Internet White Paper puts together the latest Internet issues and trends that occurred during 2012. Due to the presidential election and consequent reorganization of the government in 2013, the government agencies responsible for overseeing and helping to manage the ICT industry were changed from the KCC, MOPAS and MKE to MSIP, KCC and MSPA. For this reason, the responsible departments are mentioned in this document according to the current government organization. ● MSIP(Ministry of Science, ICT and Future Planning), KCC(Korea Communications Commission), MSPA(Ministry of Security and Public Administration), KISA(Korea Internet & Security Agency) 2013 Korea Internet White Paper 2013 Korea Internet White Paper Publisher’s Message By June of 2013, the number of Korean smartphone users exceeded 35 million, with 65% subscribing to LTE services. The paradigm is quickly shifting from the wired Internet to the wireless Internet. Also, as seen by the recent Gangnam Style craze that spread globally via YouTube, social media has proven to be a very powerful and irreversible aspect of contemporary life. As the use of the wireless Internet has been rapidly increasing so too has the spread of malicious mobile codes and new frauds like smishing. -

A Tale of Two Companies: the Emerging Market for Corporate Control in Korea
A Tale of Two Companies: The Emerging Market for Corporate Control in Korea [draft September 2006] Hwa-Jin Kim* forthcoming in A Decade After Crisis: Transforming Corporate Governance in East Asia (Hideki Kanda, Kon Sik Kim & Curtis Milhaupt eds., Routledge, 2007) “Shakespeare could hardly have written a more convoluted tale of sibling rivalry, palace intrigue and thirst for power.”1 I. Introduction Contested mergers and acquisitions emerged in the business world of Korea in the mid-1990's and have since served as a popular topic for the media. The surprising takeover of Hannong Corporation by Dongbu Group in 1994 opened the gate for such transactions in Korea. This was followed by the abolition of the statutory protection of control as of April 1, 1997. In the recent years, two or three hostile takeover attempts have taken place every year, even targeting member companies of the largest corporate groups like Hyundai and SK. The largest company in Korea, Samsung Electronics, is also said to be vulnerable to potential takeover threat by foreign competitors and/or hedge funds. KT&G’s fight against Carl Icahn and Steel Partners in early 2006 provoked public discussions on the market for corporate control and hedge fund activism in Korea. This article describes and analyzes the current status of corporate control in Korea by summarizing two recent cases together with relevant laws and regulations: SK Corporation’s (SK’s) fight against Sovereign Asset Management and contest for control over the Hyundai Group (Hyundai). Active policy discussions in respect of the market * Associate Professor of Law and Business, Seoul National University College of Law.
