In fact, they already international ones in enterprise-level contribute to business innovation, for activities, such as participating in corporate example, by improving efficiency through IT. strategy development, while there also seems to be a lack of participation and Despite this achievement, CIOs are having interest from Korean business management to respond to ever-growing demands in IT strategy and decision-making. One of from top management, because of the key the key concerns for Korean CIOs is how role played by information technology in they can help the CEO, and the business business innovation today. They are well as a whole, to increase their understanding aware that the ability of the CIO and of the of IT. For this, CIOs must secure their IT organization to create business value position as a partner to the business. This, is critical and that the business expects together with strong sponsorship from top the CIO to deliver results. As to how well management, will allow CIOs to discuss they have met these expectations, CIOs ideas and work together with the business themselves admit to some gaps. in pursuit of innovation. We canvassed the views of Korean CIOs Rapid changes in the technology about the actual and potential role of the IT environment can lead to resource function with respect to business innovation. constraints and can impair a company’s We then compared the responses of our 100 ability to innovate. Many international Korean CIOs with Capgemini’s survey of companies have already established a wide 400 CIOs worldwide. network of IT suppliers, clients, universities and other partners to adopt new ideas and We found that, up until now, Korean CIOs technologies and to develop professional have focused on basic IT performance in knowledge for innovation.

Organizations must also invest in If they can capitalise on these attributes to these innovation-oriented strengths. deliver business value, then Korean CIOs will be able to secure their position as leaders of innovation. 1 Throughout this report we will use terms like “domestic CIOs” and “domestic companies” to refer to the respondents to our Korean survey; “global CIOs” refers to the respondents to Capgemini’s Global CIO Survey. 4 Korean CIO Survey 2008 Innovation - A Definition A definition of innovation is needed here, because what is innovative to one person can be a minor change to another, and what is innovative today is business as usual tomorrow. For the purposes of this survey we have adopted the definition famously put forward by Peter F. Drucker (writer, sociologist and management theorist, who died in 2005): “Change that creates a new dimension of performance” This report is concerned with a specific type of innovation: business innovation and its relationship to the CIO2 and IT function. Innovation in the way that IT is delivered is outside the scope of the report. 2 The Chief Information Officer (CIO) title is not consistently used across organizations and geographies. For the purposes of this report, we have taken it to mean the person who is ultimately responsible for the IT function. Innovation through IT for Business Results 5 Business Innovation through IT for Delivering Results Figure 1 Until now we have IT’s key role in business Innovation is a top priority for your business focused on building IT innovation capabilities as a foundation.

  • 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.

    Chaebols and Catastrophe: A New View of the Korean Business Groups and Their Role in the Financial Crisis Robert C. Feenstra, University of California, Davis Gary H. Hamilton, University of Washington Eun Mie Lim, University of Washington October 2001 Prepared for the Asian Economic Policy conference, Seoul, Korea, October 25-26, 2001. This paper draws upon the forthcoming book, Emergent Economics, Divergent Paths: Business Groups and Economic Organization in South Korea and Taiwan, by Robert Feenstra and Gary Hamilton, Cambridge University Press, as well as the dissertation research of Eun Mie Lim. 1. Introduction The Asian financial crisis of 1997-98 seemed to end as quickly as it began, a grande finale to the 20th century. But as the opening years of the 21st century bring another slowdown, impacting the Asian economies as well as those worldwide, it is appropriate to ask what lessons we might learn from the crisis. What policy actions, if any, should South Korea take in relation to its industrial and financial structure, and could the type of catastrophic shock that occurred in 1997-98 be experienced again? In the aftermath of the crisis, many economists in the U.S. have criticized the actions taken by the International Monetary Fund (IMF), and in particular, their insistence that countries in crisis undertake contractionary monetary and fiscal policies as a condition of receiving loans. Scholars such as Jeffrey Sachs (1998) and Martin Feldstein (1998), along with Joseph Stiglitz (2000), argued that these conditions turned an initial liquidity crisis into a full-blown banking and financial crisis. A report commissioned by the U.S.
