Abstract
Over the past six decades, the Korean economy has witnessed remarkable growth. In the 1950s, when the government was first established, Korea was the one of the poorest countries in the world. Now, it has grown as a global economic power with a solid industrial base. Korea’s economic success since then has been named “the Miracle of the Han River”. Along with the growth of the economy, there is an enormous contribution from Korean companies which probably started from small shops and have grown to become global giants. There are some studies about the Korean economy and Korean companies, especially Chaebols. These studies mainly focus on the relationship between value and ownership structure, and the gap between controlling power and cash flow ownership. However, there is a controversy over how the companies have contributed to the success of the Korean economy. These critical issues have attracted the attention of not only academic scholars but also policy makers.
