It has been changing the landscape of the whole foodservice industry by forming new eating-out culture as well as by expanding the market volume of foodservice industry. Initially, the substantial growth has been driven by social, cultural and economical changes such as busier lifestyle, westernization of eating pattern and increase of income level in a booming economy. Then after the Korean financial crisis, the industry as a whole has chased undifferentiated growth strategy to survive under severe competition. However, profitability has been deteriorated because the growth stemmed from multi-store strategy. While most of the family restaurant companies have been focusing on volume without profits leading to financial difficulties, some successful players have captured the market by leveraging their core competence and have evolved from the second movers to market leaders.

Despite the significant increase in gendered concerns, there has been a lack of discussion on gender inequality problems in the Korean popular music industry. For this reason, this thesis aims to investigate gender inequalities and power relations embedded in the male-dominated Korean popular music industry by analyzing the texts, images and music of Korean girl groups through the lens of a feminist political economy. In doing so, this study utilizes textual analysis in order to examine how gendered hierarchy and patriarchal power, acting as industrial practices, exploit Korean girl groups in the Korean popular music industry.

  • Evidence from Brand Royalty Flows Within Chaebol
    Business Groups and Tunneling: Evidence from Brand Royalty Flows within Chaebol Abstract This paper investigates the intragroup flows of brand royalties within large Korean business groups. We find that business group member firms pay a greater amount of brand royalties when the associated business groups adopt a holding company governance structure, consistent with the public allegation that chaebols tunnel wealth from member firms to holding companies that they directly control. However, member firms pay a smaller amount of brand royalties when their related party transactions (RPTs) are monitored, for example, when the firm is on (i) the watch list of an external watchdog agency for controlling shareholders’ unfair profit reaping from RPTs or when its board of directors internally operates (ii) a designated committee on RPTs or (iii) an audit committee. The results suggest that the alleged tunneling behavior of large business groups can be mitigated by external or internal monitoring on RPTs. Keywords: Brand royalty; Business group; Chaebol; Holding company; Related party transactions committee. Business Groups and Tunneling: Evidence from Brand Royalty Flows within Chaebol 1. Introduction Chaebol, which is a combination of two Korean words ‘chae’ (wealth) and ‘bol’ (clan or clique), is a form of corporate structure that is common in emerging economies such as Korea (Almeida, Kim, and Kim 2015; Chang and Hong 2002; Khanna and Palepu 1997, 2000; Khanna and Rivkin 2001). Chaebol member firms often pay a substantial amount of brand royalty fees to the group- brand name or trademark holder, who is either the holding company or the core/parent firm of the business group.
