In this climate, Lotte Shopping actively explored its potential in all of its business sectors, so as to weather crises and continue its growth. One of our important focuses was on securing new growth en- gines, including our online operations and omnichannel services. We also opened a number of new stores, diversified our store for- “WE WILL BECOME A GLOBAL mats, and differentiated our products both at home and abroad.

GROWTH BASED ON THE In 2017, we revamped our core competencies and built founda- tions for future growth by actively exploring potential in all of our CREATION OF SOCIAL VALUES.” business divisions. Focused on core competencies and future growth foundations South Korea’s retail industry faced a year of stagnant growth, due largely to lowered consumer confidence, increasing house- hold debt, intensifying competition among business channels, ex- panding governmental regulations, and the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) issue. Despite this environment, online shopping, consumer electronics retail stores, and health and beauty stores continued to grow in popularity, backed by changes in purchasing patterns. These changes included an increasing number of single-person households, an aging society, a definite trend towards small-quantity, neighborhood-based purchases, value-conscious shopping, and rising sales of health- and envi- ronment-related products. Lotte Shopping made multilateral efforts to improve its results while effectively adapting to these changes in its management environment. First, we opened a large number of new stores both at home and abroad. We also renovated our existing stores and upgraded our product inventory. In addition, we added to our menu of online operations with a special focus on mobile shop- ping, and significantly bolstered our omnichannel services which link our online and offline channels. Overseas, we concentrated our energy on enhancing our

Between 2010 and 2015, total spending on food is expected to increase over 20 percent. With over 50 percent of the population concentrated within a 60 mile radius of the capital city of Seoul, that region accounts for over 70 percent of the retail spending in the country. Despite the limited volume of domestic agriculture, Koreans favor locally grown and manufactured foods and are willing to pay a premium for domestic goods. A wide variety of agricultural products are grown or processed locally, including rice, fresh and processed vegetables, fruits, seafood and meats, eggs, dairy products, noodles, sauces, oils, grain "our, beverages, snacks, confections, and liquor. Unlike other sectors of the Korean economy, there is not a focus on exporting in Korean agriculture, and, in general, government policies favor domestic agriculture.

  • 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.
