It highlights the strengths of chaebols that enable their fast growth, as well as the weaknesses that waylaid them when the 1999 Asian crisis occurred.

He predicts that they will emerge again as stronger, more focused global players.Download DescriptionThis book explores the strategies that chaebols--Korean business groups--have pursued by examining their structures and assessingtheir performance.
