Funded Activity Summary

STRATEGY AND STRUCTURE OF THE KOREAN CHAEBOL: CHANGES AFTER THE 1997 ECONOMIC CRISIS AND IMPLICATIONS FOR AUSTRALIA. Korea is the third largest export market for Australia, however, analysis of the structure and strategy of Korea's largest corporations has been surprisingly neglected by Australian researchers. This project examines recent changes in the operation of the largest family controlled conglomerates in Korea (chaebol), which possess unique features in various aspects, within a dynamic historical perspective. Case studies will be conducted concentrating on changes of business structure and strategy within Samsung, LG, Hyundai and Daewoo, with particular attention to these companies, response to the 1997 economic crisis and its implications for major trading partners such as Australia.
