Nothing new.
What you need to look into is how can Korea's trade move beyond volume as a profit seeking strategy. Without doing so, Korea will realize further deteriorating terms-of-trade with regional competitors,…"

Stephen Ronto replied to Navid Firouz's discussion South Korea in top ten List of Countries by Export in 2012?"Mike,
Decades ago Akamatsu's "flying geese paradigm" conceptualized the rise of Korea and other developing trade-oriented economies at the time. China for sure and perhaps other Asian and non-Asian nations are following…"

Your posted figure are only merchandise exports. If you include service exports, Korea ranks much less as a net exporter. Note that exports are half of the picture. With total trade - exports & imports - Korea ranks outside the top ten.…"

Cheju island is indeed not Tahiti; however, my frequent vacation visits to Cheju have always been a ball of fun.
Of course, a new naval base will reap gains to the stagnating Cheju economy and could raise local incomes…"
Stephen Ronto replied to Steven S. Bammel's discussion New Korea Economic Slice - Stephen E. Ronto, "The Progenitors of Chaebol”"Correct - cross-affiliate financial was a de facto practice from the 60s'. The Kim Young Sam finanancial reforms allowed for Chaebol to establish merchants banks (Chaebol have never owned commercial banks) in the early 1990s. Both…"

Ronto, "The Progenitors of Chaebol”"/The 재 벌 I write on were formed, before Park Chung-Hee, and certainly any student of Korea economic history cannot the politics of PCH with the business of 재 벌.

Stephen Ronto replied to Steven S. Bammel's discussion New Korea Economic Slice - Stephen E. Ronto, "The Progenitors of Chaebol”"Carl,
Korean SMEs thrive on niche markets or as supplier to LSEs (Large Size). Some do compete with LSEs and succeed (Pantech, Seoul Semiconductor are classic examples of the latter, and most recently Caffe Benne).
However, SME growth barrier…"

Steven S. Bammel said… - Thanks for the suggestion, Stephen. We kind of have that with our Do Business > Korean Business Savvy tab, but something more explicitly focused on how Korean companies do things could be valuable too.

- That sounds like a fun (and delicious) path to be following ^.~ I've been unexpectedly busy with new clients, the 대통령 경호처 (my spelling could be off -in English, the Presidential Security Service) guys ...and my work with www.Korea4Expats.com (I'm a director with K4E Consulting & have been busy helping out with updating info pages & writing articles). Basically, I guess one could say I've been busy doing work that I love, working with & for people I really like (who also highly value & respect both me & what I do), and earning good money ^.^ ...just noticed an interesting sounding discussion here about the psyche of Koreans from an expat perspective ...must jump in (that's my area ^.~)!
