The Relationship Between Government and Private Companies in the Industrial Development of South Korea: A Study of Korean Way of Development

Abstract

dc:description

The rapid industrial development of Korea during the last two decades has often been evaluated as one of the most outstanding economic success cases in the industrial development history. During this period, Korean society has been changed from being an agrarian society to a so-called semi-industrial society. This study examined that part of the Korean industrial development focused upon the interaction between government and the large government favored private companies, termed chaebol. The raid industrial development of Korea during the last two decades was made possible primarily by active government intervention in business activities through planning its economic direction, selecting strategic industries, and allocating and distributing capital. Thus in order to understand Korean industrial development, the dominant governmental role is very important.
