abstract
  • The Daewoo Group was founded by Kim Woo-jung in March 1967. He was the son of the Provincial Governor of Daegu Prefecture. He graduated from the Kyonggi High School, then finished with an Economics Degree at Yonsei University in Seoul. An industrial and multi-faceted service conglomerate, Daewoo was prominent in expanding its global market through joint ventures all over the world. During the 1960s, Korean government policies intended to promote economic growth, as a complement to a series of economic compacts with the Japanese government, were passed by the Park Chung Hee administration. They increased access to resources, promoted exports, financed industrialization, and provided protection from competition in exchange for a company's political support. Daewoo benefited from government-sponsored cheap loans based on potential export profits. The company initially concentrated on labor-intensive clothing and textile industries that provided high profit margins. The most significant resource in this plan was Korea's large workforce. Korea united with Japan to form the East Asian Federation in 1976, and the first decade of its existence was marked by rapid economic growth. During this period, the country's labor force was in high demand. Competition from other countries began threatening the nation's dominance in the global economy, particularly in Asia. The government responded to this change by concentrating its effort on mechanical and electrical engineering, shipbuilding, petrochemicals, construction, and military initiatives. Daewoo soon earned a reputation for producing competitively priced ships and oil rigs. During the next decade, competition was relieved by more liberal economic policies. Daewoo responded by establishing a number of joint ventures with Western companies. It expanded exports of machine tools, defense products (under the S&T Daewoo company), aerospace interests, and semiconductor design and manufacturing. Eventually, it began to build civilian helicopters and airplanes, priced considerably cheaper than those produced by its U.S. counterparts. It also expanded efforts in the automotive industry and was ranked as the seventh largest car exporter and the sixth largest car manufacturer in the world. In the 1980s and early 1990s, the Daewoo Group also produced consumer electronics, computers, telecommunication products, construction equipment, buildings, and musical instruments.
