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.

  • Samsung, Daewoo, and Lessons on Large- Scale Transformation by Donald Sull
    Two tales of one city: Samsung, Daewoo, and lessons on large- scale transformation By Donald Sull Many emerging market companies expand beyond their home markets to diversify cash flows, hit growth targets, achieve economies of scale, or access global capital markets. Despite compelling reasons to expand abroad, the process of globalization remains difficult and fraught with risk. As they expand beyond their home markets, emerging market companies must woo customers with different preferences; battle entrenched competitors desperate to protect their home turf; navigate unfamiliar regulatory terrain; and nurture an ecosystem of suppliers, distributors, and alliance partners. When emerging market champions struggle to globalize, their failure is often attributed to ignorance, complacency, or arrogance. While these may play a role, failure to globalize often results from a more fundamental dynamic. The very commitments that enable an emerging market company to succeed at home to harden over time, reinforced by success in the local market. These hardened commitments, in turn, channel the company’s efforts to globalize into well-worn grooves. As emerging market companies expand into new markets, they often fall prey to active inertia, the tendency of firms to respond to different market conditions by persisting in, or even accelerating, activities that worked in the past.1 To succeed, executives must make a set of commitments that together constitute an organization’s success formula. An organization’s success formula, which is sometimes referred to as its business model, consists of five categories of commitments. Strategic frames are the shared cognitive models that help organization members interpret new data, measure success, and define how to compete.

  • Understanding Korean Capitalism: Chaebols and Their Corporate Governance
    ESADEgeo POSITION PAPER 33 SEPTEMBER 2013 Understanding Korean Capitalism: Chaebols and their Corporate Governance David Murillo ESADEgeo Center for Global Economy and Geopolitics Yun-dal Sung Sogang Business School Understanding Korean Capitalism: Chaebols and their Corporate Governance1 David Murillo Yun-dal Sung ESADEgeo Center for Global Economics Sogang Business School and Geopolitics September 2013 Abstract Chaebols, Korean2 big business conglomerates, have had a huge influence in the global economy and in Korean society and politics. Some stress the significant contribution chaebols have made to the unprecedented rapid development of the Korean economy, while others highlight their concomitant problems such as cronyism, corrupt relations with government, and economic concentration. Although such problems seem to have been reduced in recent years thanks to institutional pressures enacted by the Korean government after the financial crisis of 1997, the pending reforms of the chaebol system are still important issues that permeate political and economic debate in Korea. In what follows, we will explore the unique characteristics of the chaebosl, their relations with government, and the virtues and vices of this Korean capitalist model that does not operate along the lines of its European and Anglo-American counterparts. 1 Acknowledgement: This paper has benefited from the invaluable assistance of Jonathan D.Chu, MSc candidate at ESADE BS and Marie Vandendriessche, research assistant at ESADEgeo. 2 The Republic of Korea will henceforth be referred to as Korea. Understanding Korean Capitalism: 1 Chaebols and their Corporate Governance The particularities of the chaebol structure A chaebol generally refers to a collective of formally independent firms under the single common administrative and financial control of one family.
