A Forensic Study of Daewoo's Corporate Governance
In 1999, the Daewoo Group, one of the largest conglomerates in the world, collapsed, committing a staggering $15.3 billion in accounting fraud in the process. Daewoo's problems, however, did not remain a case isolated to a Korean chaebol. Daewoo's demise foreshadowed the corporate scandals that recently ravaged confidence in financial markets around the world. Leading financial institutions, investment banks, securities analysts, accounting firms, and credit agencies failed to monitor and detect Daewoo's problems. Despite warnings from the Daewoo case, policy discussion focusing on the importance of reputational intermediaries and gatekeepers in particular has only recently emerged. This for...
The Formulation of Korea's Resource Policy
As one of the world's most resource dependent countries, Korea has been trying to utilize a proactive resource policy to obtain energy, food and minerals from overseas resource providers. Government-owned and government-controlled enterprises largely in consortium with private sector companies have become key actors in this process. From passively purchasing resources through the marketplace, they have instead begun to pursue direct ownership, development and investment arrangements, leading to a reconfiguration in relations vis-à-vis resource-providing countries. To prepare for reunification and due to pressure to delink unconditional aid, Korea has been unable to use development aid or ot...
Law & Capitalism
Recent high-profile corporate scandals—such as those involving Enron in the United States, Yukos in Russia, and Livedoor in Japan—demonstrate challenges to legal regulation of business practices in capitalist economies. Setting forth a new analytic framework for understanding these problems, Law and Capitalism examines such contemporary corporate governance crises in six countries, to shed light on the interaction of legal systems and economic change. This provocative book debunks the simplistic view of law’s instrumental function for financial market development and economic growth. Using comparative case studies that address the United States, China, Germany, Japan, Korea, and Russia...
Corruption and Anti-corruption
Corruption and Anti-Corruption deals with the international dimensions of corruption, including campaigns to recover the assets of former dictators, and the links between corruption, transnational and economic crime. It deals with corruption as an issue in political theory, and shows how it can be addressed in campaigns for human rights. It also presents case studies of reform efforts in Philippines, India and Thailand. The book explains the doctrines of a well-established domestic anticorruption agency. It is based on research to develop a curriculum for a unique international training course on ‘Corruption and Anti-Corruption’, designed and taught by academics at The Australian National University, the Australian Institute of Criminology and public servants in the New South Wales Independent Commission Against Corruption.
Korean Business Law
This book is a detailed overview of the corporate and financial laws of Korea and analyzes current issues within those fields from both academic and practical perspectives, providing a unique tool for understanding Korean law in a business and financial context. The approach of the book is two-fold. On the one hand the book offers valuable insight into the fundamental principles of Korean business law, and landmark cases in the field. On the other hand there is extensive analysis of more recent developments and of current issues raised by recent court cases. The book combines coverage of Korean corporate law and Korean financial law and includes detailed examination of corporate law issues such as director liability, minority shareholder protection, and the dynamic practice area of mergers and acquisitions, and of financial law topics, including private equity, structured finance and foreign financial institutions. A rich and extensive resource with insight from leading scholars and practitioners, Korean Business Law will be of great benefit both to lawyers who have clients with business interests in Korea, and to scholars of international corporate law and governance.
Supercorporate
What should South Korean offices look like in a post-hierarchical world? In Supercorporate, anthropologist Michael M. Prentice examines a central tension in visions of big corporate life in South Korea's twenty-first century: should corporations be sites of fair distinction or equal participation? As South Korea distances itself from images and figures of a hierarchical past, Prentice argues that the drive to redefine the meaning of corporate labor echoes a central ambiguity around corporate labor today. Even as corporations remain idealized sites of middle-class aspiration in South Korea, employees are torn over whether they want greater recognition for their work or meaningful forms of cooperation. Through an in-depth ethnography of the Sangdo Group conglomerate, the book examines how managers attempt to perfect corporate social life through new office programs while also minimizing the risks of creating new hierarchies. Ultimately, this book reveals how office life is a battleground for working out the promises and the perils of economic democratization in one of East Asia's most dynamic countries.
