  • Business Groups in South Korea and Taiwan
    Institute of Governmental Affairs University of California, Davis Business Groups in South Korea and Taiwan: A Comparison and Database by Robert C. Feenstra Revised, October 1997 Program on Pacific Rim Business and Development 2 Business Groups in South Korea and Taiwan: A Comparison and Database by Robert C. Feenstra Dept. of Economics, University of California, Davis and National Bureau of Economic Research Revised, October 1997 Abstract This paper describes a database of business groups in South Korea and Taiwan. The most detailed data are available for 1989 in South Korea and 1994 for Taiwan, though additional information is provided for the groups in both countries in 1983 and 1986. The detailed data includes a transactions matrix for each major business group, which specifies the sales to other member firms within the group, as well as total sales and other information for each firm. Thus, the detailed data can be used to construct measures of the vertical integration for each business group, and can also be used to analyze their sales across different sectors of the economy. These results are reported in the paper, along with documentation of the variables included in the database. The database for each country can be ordered for $50 from: Shelagh Matthews Mackay, Institute of Governmental Affairs, University of California, Davis, CA 95616, or downloaded from www.internationaldata.org (choose “Asia”). Note: This database has been assembled over the past decade at the Pacific Rim Business and Development Program, Institute of Governmental Affairs, under the direction of Gary Hamilton and Robert Feenstra. It would not have been possible without the help of the staff there and many research assistants.

Korean conglomerates such as Samsung Group and Hyundai Motor Group have become major players in the global market, but corporate law and practice in Korea have had a difficult time keeping up with the developments in the business sector.

The DMZ refers to a demilitarized zone where no military army or weaponry is permitted, 2km away from the truce line on each side of the border. • Establishment of the demilitarized zone along the 248km-long (on land) and 200km-long (in the west sea) ceasefire line • In terms of land area, it accounts for 0.5% (907km2) of the total land area of the Korean Peninsula The PLZ refers to the border area including the DMZ.

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.
