| One of his first acts as CEO was to change the name to Hynix, distancing the company from the Korean chaebol. |
|
| What's more, he has the backing of the chaebol, the giant conglomerates that clashed so often with Kim and his Cabinet ministers. |
|
| This argument's validity can be deduced from the experiences of some of Japan's keiretsu, which share many characteristics with Korea's chaebol. |
|
| In the best Alice-in-Wonderland tradition of Korean chaebol, the company has big, big expansion plans for the immediate future. |
|
| Not unlike the pre-war Japanese zaibatsu, virtually all chaebol are family-owned and controlled. |
|
| He's a 25-year veteran of Samsung Corp., the trading arm of South Korea's largest chaebol. |
|
| Thus climaxed a family boardroom drama that has rocked Hyundai, the largest chaebol, and Korean business. |
|
| Could this hatmaker-turned-bus-manufacturer be teaching Korea's mighty chaebol a lesson? |
|
| Roh will also challenge the chaebol, the Korean conglomerates that have dominated Korean economic life and dictated much of its politics as well. |
|
| In April, the government began letting nonbank financial arms of the chaebol vote their shares held in affiliate companies. |
|
| It's like Korea in the old days, when the chaebol laid siege to one global industry after another. |
|
| Under the guise of helping lame ducks, the normally uncharitable chaebol could well end up commanding yet more of South Korea's economy. |
|
| Samsung, one of the five big chaebol, long had a rule that it would not employ anybody from that region. |
|
| He says he will reduce the gap between rich and poor and rein in the country's conglomerates, or chaebol. |
|
| In addition, there has been a shift in chaebol policy away from direct regulation and toward more reliance on market forces. |
|
| By the early 1990s, the chaebol had expanded their business in the advanced industries, in lines such as autos and semi-conductors. |
|
| Believing that the government would rescue them in hard times, the chaebol borrowed too much. |
|
| The obvious danger for chaebol firms is that favouritism, rather than business acumen, could lead one to buy from another. |
|
| But demoralised, and with its old gushers of money from South Korea's conglomerates, the chaebol, drying up, it could easily fragment. |
|
| Daewoo is the second-largest conglomerate, or chaebol, in South Korea. |
|
|
|
| Nokia was originally the Finnish equivalent of a Korean chaebol, a conglomerate that manufactured all sorts of things, from paper to rubber to chemicals to TV sets. |
|
| Agnew noted that significant corporate reform was taking place in Seoul, despite claims that taking on the much-vaunted chaebol, or conglomerates, would be impossible. |
|
| Also, several measures such as chaebol business swaps still need to prove that they can contribute to solving the economy's underlying structural deficiencies. |
|
| This year, on top of the usual civil service and chaebol naughtiness, no fewer than 46 players from the Korean football league have been arrested over match-fixing. |
|
| It argued that only such direct action could force the government, the chaebol and foreign interests to drop their support for radical restructuring. |
|
| The chaebol are the conglomerates that dominate the Korean economy, so these plutocratic pâtissières have deeper pockets than any of the little bakers they compete against. Their baking has provoked outrage. |
|
| Market concentration is economic power based on the level of monopoly or oligopoly that Chaebol affiliates hold in the markets of their respective areas of business. |
