  • The Woongjin Group Files for Bankruptcy October, 2012 Makoto, ABE (Seoul, Research Fellow Sent Abroad, IDE-JETRO)
    http://www.ide.go.jp A Corporate Business Leader’s Unfulfilled Ambitions to Build a Major Conglomerate —The Woongjin Group Files for Bankruptcy October, 2012 Makoto, ABE (Seoul, Research Fellow Sent Abroad, IDE-JETRO) Foreword The Woongjin Group, which ranked 39th in terms of assets in corporate South Korea, has effectively filed for bankruptcy. In terms of asset scale, the Woongjin Group has less than 5% of the amount of assets held by the Samsung Group. Nonetheless, the Woongjin Group’s bankruptcy filing is sending ripples throughout South Korean society for two main reasons. First, it is South Korea’s first major bankruptcy since the economy abruptly stalled at the start of 2012. Second, the Woongjin Group is one of only a few mid-tier to large South Korean industrial groups that have reached their current position under the leadership of the current owner in a single generation. In this report, we retrace the steps of the Woongjin Group, from its growth to collapse. A Company Founded by a Top Salesman Yoon Seok-keum, founder of the Woongjin Group, was born in 1945 as the child of an impoverished farming family in Gongju City, South Chungcheong Province, South Korea. After graduating from the College of Commerce and Economics of Konkuk University, Mr. Yoon joined Korea Britannica Corporation in 1971 as a salesman. Here, Mr. Yoon became No.1 in domestic sales just one month after joining the firm, and in his first year received an award given to Britannica’s highest-performing salesperson out of all 54 countries where the company does business worldwide.

  • Spatial Variations in Fertility of South Korea: a Geographically Weighted Regression Approach

Although there has been a large volume of literature exploring the determinants of low fertility in South Korea, studies on spatial variations in fertility are scarce. This study compares the Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) and Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR) models to investigate the potential role of the spatially heterogeneous response of the total fertility rate (TFR) to sociodemographic factors. The study finds that the relationships between sociodemographic factors and TFRs in South Korea vary across 252 sub-administrative areas in terms of both magnitude and direction. This study therefore demonstrates the value of using spatial analysis for providing evidence-based local-population policy options in pursuit of a fertility rebound in South Korea. Keywords: low fertility; spatial analysis; GIS; regional fertility differentials; total fertility rate 1. Introduction In the last few decades, South Korea has witnessed a remarkable decline in birth rates.

  • Conservation Studies of Korean Stone Heritages
    Conservation Studies of Korean Stone Heritages Chan Hee Lee Department of Cultural Heritage Conservation Sciences, Kongju National University, Gongju, 32588, Republic of Korea Keywords: Korean stone heritages, Conservation, Weathering, Damage, Environmental control. Abstract: In Republic of Korea, a peninsula country located at the eastern region of the Asian continent, is mostly composed of granite and gneiss. The southern Korean peninsula stated approximately 7,000 tangible cultural heritages. Of these, the number of stone heritages are 1,882 (26.8%), showing a diverse types such as stone pagoda (25.8%), stone Buddha statues (23.5%), stone monuments (18.1%), petroglyph, dolmen, fossils and etc. Igneous rock accounts for the highest portion of the stone used for establishing Korean stone heritages, forming approximately 84% of state-designated cultural properties. Among these, granite was used most often, 68.2%, followed by diorite for 8.2%, and sandstone, granite gneiss, tuff, slate, marble, and limestone at less than 4% each. Furthermore, values of the Korean stone heritages are discussed as well as various attempts for conservation of the original forms of these heritages. It is generally known that the weathering and damage degrees of stone heritage are strongly affected by temperature and precipitation. The most Korean stone heritages are corresponded to areas of middle to high weathering according to topography and annual average temperature and precipitation of Korea. Therefore, examination of environmental control methods are required for conservation considering the importance of stone heritages exposed to the outside conditions, and monitoring and management systems should be established for stable conservation in the long term.
