Dear all,
I would like to ask for information on the Daewoo business group.
1) There is a 1995 120 page in-depth study of the Daewoo group in French.
Does somebody by any chance have an idea where I could find this rather
elusive work? Librarians at the Staatsbibliothek Berlin are having terrible
headaches locating it but I need it desperately. The Bibliographie nationale
francaise gave this citation:
Le groupe Daewoo / Direction des relations économiques extérieures ; Poste
d'expansion économique de Séoul ; [réd. par Claude Genetay ; sous la
direction de Francois Cotier]. - Paris: Ed. du CFCE, 1995. - 121 p. (etc.)
ISBN 2-279-47207-4
2) I am sure there are similar Korean language works on the Daewoo group. I
would be most grateful for any citations in this direction because it will
be some time before I can visit Korea again and sniff around myself.
3) The literature I currently have is mostly very positive on Daewoo and its
chairman, Kim Woo-Choong. I would be happy therefore to receive hints in
which direction I should look to find some less wholesome aspects to their
strategy, their work, or whatever. Please do not send general criticisms on
chaebol as a genre but detailed accusations of specific Daewoo (or Kim
Woo-Choong's)-misdeeds (or sources where I can find them). I would be
interested, for example, in their relations with labor unions.
4) In addition to point 3), I would also be happy to receive any citations
to works on Daewoo or Kim Woo-Choong in either German, English, French,
Italian, or Japanese. If there is an important work in any other language,
please -- if you can -- tell me what you consider to be the particular merit
of that study.
Thank you.
