    Market opportunities for Queensland agribusiness from FTA with South Korea FINAL REPORT 1 Executive summary Background Australia recently signed Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) with China (June 2015), Japan (July 2014) and South Korea (April 2014). These agreements substantially reduce or remove tariffs on a range of Australian food and agribusiness export products including beef, grains, horticulture, seafood and processed foods, which together represent a large share of Queensland’s total agricultural production and exports. Deloitte Access Economics has been engaged by Trade & Investment Queensland (TIQ) and the Queensland Department of Agriculture and Fisheries (DAF) to identify opportunities and barriers within Queensland agribusiness sectors arising from the FTAs. The project has been undertaken in two stages. Stage 1 highlighted the commodities which showed the most promise for increased trade and investment between China, Japan and South Korea. These commodities were identified through analysis of tariff reductions, Queensland production, exports, consumption trends and major competitors as well as consultation with Queensland agribusiness stakeholders. Stage 2 (this report) profiles these identified commodities in more detail to identify any non-tariff barriers, supply chain constraints, market operation and their Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats (SWOT). This profiling was informed through further consultation with Queensland Government, industry associations, traders and selected in-market contacts in China, Japan

  • Samsung Press Information
    Company Overview History of Samsung Samsung's history dates to 1938 when "Samsung General Stores" opened in North Kyung- sang Province, Korea. The company conducted its trade business until the 1950s when it became a producer of basic commodities such as sugar and wool. In 1958, Samsung be- came involved in the insurance industry by incorporating a local fire & marine insurance company. During the 1960s, Samsung became one of the first Korean companies to actively expand its overseas trade. The group consolidated its manufacturing base by adding paper and fer- tilizer businesses. Samsung continued with expansion into the life insurance business, strengthened its retail operations and then moved into the communications sector, success- fully establishing a newspaper and a broadcasting company. The 1970s were a crucial period in shaping present-day Samsung. Its strengths in the semi- conductor, information and telecommunications industries grew from the significant in- vestments made during this period. Samsung also took a meaningful step toward heavy industries by venturing into aircraft manufacturing, shipbuilding and construction, as well as chemical industries. In the 1980s, Samsung expanded its efforts into exploring the larger markets overseas. The group began contributing to foreign economies by building facilities in the US, the UK and Portugal. Samsung also invested considerable resources into fostering Korea's rich heritage by supporting a wide range of cultural and artistic activities. The final decade of the 20th century saw the evolution of Samsung's new approach to management. Chairman Kun-Hee Lee's insightful vision and the introduction of the "New Management" in 1993 acknowledged the need to transform management philosophy in or- der to keep up with a rapidly changing global economy.

ABSTRACT This research is an in-depth study of Korean GTCs (General Trading Companies) and Japanese Sogo Shoshas (the Japanese version of General Trading Companies), which are unique big business conglomerates but not well-known in Western countries. It investigates and compares several of their features, such as their history, characteristics, functions, organisational structure, corporate culture, human resource management, their impact on national economic development, strategic management and decision-making process. First, it examines a wide range of literature to show the functions of Korean GTCs and Japanese Sogo Shoshas as transaction intermediaries, information gatherers, project organisers, international marketers, financial providers, etc. With these varied functions, they have played significant roles not only from the macro aspect, but also the micro aspect.

  • How Will the Economic Policies of South Korea's New Administration
    How will the Economic Policies of South Korea’s New Administration Influence Economic Relations with Japan? By Hidehiko Mukoyama Senior Economist Economics Department Japan Research Institute Summary 1. The presidential election held in South Korea in December 2012 was essentially a two-horse race between Park Geun-hye of the incumbent conservative Saenuri Party and Moon Jae-in from the progressive Democratic United Party, which was in opposition. A feature of the election that attracted intense interest was the fact that both candidates called for economic democratization and the enhancement of the welfare system because of their concern about the failure of the traditional pattern of growth led by the chaebol groups to contribute sufficiently to the improvement of living standards in South Korea. 2. Characteristics of the South Korean growth model that evolved during the first decade of the 21st century include global business expansion led by the chaebol groups, active government support for big business, and export-led growth. How- ever, while exports have been a growth driver, there have also been issues, such as employment problems and job insecurity for young people, and widening income disparity. In addition, deregulatory measures carried out by the Lee Myung-bak ad- ministration have had the effect of concentrating economic power in the hands of the chaebol, while small and medium enterprises have come under pressure from the ex- panding business activities of the chaebol. 3. Mr. Moon stated that he wanted to resurrect the equity investment ceiling system, which was abolished by the Lee Myung-bak administration, and announced a policy calling for the dissolution of cyclical investments within three years.
