With attention to the local business and political environment, HGCY will develop cases studies of corporate governance in Korea.

These case studies will develop methodologies to measure the costs of misgovernance, and identify the circumstances and incentives that effect such misgovernance.

In addition, these case studies will include examples of best practices by Korean firms that have been able to conduct their businesses successfully, with an eye on both profitability and good corporate governance.
