Hills Governance Center at Yonsei 3rd International Conference
¡°Asian Corporate Governance: Practice & Perspective¡±

Friday. March 10, 2006
Sangnam Hall, Yonsei University



We request the pleasure of your company at the Third International Conference of the Hills Governance Center at Yonsei titled, ¡°Asian Corporate Governance: Practice and Perspective.¡±

Through support from the World Bank, this conference will present four case studies that represent the results of an interdisciplinary review on Korean corporate governance. These cases analyze the relationship between corporate governance structures, institutional systems and strategic decision-making. The main hypothesis is that Korean companies can develop corporate governance systems that best befit Korea¡¯s practices, culture and heritage. The research ultimately seeks to provide Korean companies a blueprint on corporate governance to help them become more globally competitive. The case studies utilize applied theory and management strategies on corporate behavior, institutions, and policy, along with field research on a vast array of firms in Korea. Covering a broad landscape, the firms that were analyzed include a large conglomerate, newly privatized companies, a financial firm, and a company that successfully restructured through foreign investment.

By providing a forum for leading international and domestic professionals, this conference seeks to find new ways to understand corporate governance in Korea. We hope you can join us.
