From dominance to responsibility. The integration of corporate social responsibility in Chaebol’s Corporate Governance
This study explores the profound influence of Chaebols-large, family-owned conglomerates-on South Korea's economic transformation from an agrarian to an industrial powerhouse since the 1960s. Representing over 84% of the country's GDP while employing a mere 10% of the workforce, Chaebols such as Samsung, Hyundai, LG, and SK Group have been pivotal in South Korea's development. However, their monopolistic dominance and the controversies surrounding their practices have sparked significant public and academic scrutiny, especially regarding their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives. By conducting a comprehensive review of the current literature, this analysis seeks to uncover the strategic integration of CSR within Chaebol corporate governance (CG) and assesses the extent to which the Korean government encourages socially responsible business conduct. This inquiry is essential for appreciating the nuanced role of Chaebols in the socio-economic landscape of South Korea, emphasizing the intricate balance they navigate between profitability and their commitment to ethical, sustainable practices
Transgenerational influence and family ties: the differentiation of the self in South Korean families. A case-study through an arts-based visual approach
Purpose: South Korea's economy has grown rapidly, with a considerable number of enterprises managed by families who have been in business for numerous generations and that will be invested shortly by the generational transition. This research paper examined the family dynamics of the South modern Korean family through the lens of Bowen’s construct of the “differentiation of the self” to comprehend its influence on transgenerational passage.
Methodology: This study employs a qualitative approach starting from an innovative approach - the award-winning Korean film Parasite as a reflection of the South modern Korean family - to construct a first analysis scenario. This will be followed using questionnaires to test the theoretical framework of the effect of self-differentiation of Bowen during transgenerational passage.
Findings: Findings contribute, firstly, to the psychological literature by highlighting the developmental characteristics of Bowen's differentiation of the self in the South Korean family. Secondly, to the family business field on succession literature, with a focus on the influence of the differentiation of the self in the transgenerational passage.
Managerial implications: According to the psychological literature, knowing how the dynamics of the Korean family evolve might help determine if disparities between Eastern and Western cultures still exist in forming family relationships. In contrast, the insights that emerge from the analysis in the managerial literature can be applied to family enterprises during its generational change.
Research limitations: This study suggests that more research needs to be performed to field-test questionnaires and conduct interviews. In addition, but not primarily, it would be great to test the principle of this study in other Asian nations.
Originality: This paper's originality resides in its examination of the connection between the concept of the differentiation of the self and the generational transition in family businesses, a topic that has never been addressed in the literature on family businesses
The state of RBV in Family Business Research. A review of the literature and future directions
Il ruolo delle Risorse Intangibili nella letteratura manageriale. Principali linee di ricerca e analisi future
Obiettivo del paper. Il presente lavoro si propone di realizzare una review della letteratura sul tema delle risorse intangibili per delinearne un modello interpretativo. Metodologia. La metodologia utilizzata è la narrative review. Risultati. I risultati evidenziano: a. l’inesistenza di un’univoca definizione di “risorse intangibili”, b. le teorie maggiormente utilizzate, c. i principali “filoni” di studio, d. nuovi ambiti di ricerca verso i quali orientare futuri studi. Limiti della ricerca. I limiti sono principalmente riconducibili ai database utilizzati. Implicazioni pratiche. Le implicazioni sono di duplice natura. Dal punto di vista accademico si contribuisce allo stato dell’arte su tale tematica proponendo ulteriori sviluppi futuri; dal punto di vista manageriale si indirizza l’analisi dell’imprenditore e del consulente verso quelle risorse che contribuiscono alle performance aziendali. Originalità del lavoro. Il lavoro si inserisce nel dibattito accademico sulle risorse con una review della letteratura che copre un periodo di tempo abbastanza lungo (1990-2017), concentrandosi sulla letteratura che utilizza la locuzione “risorse intangibili” come un “umbrella concept” senza soffermarsi esclusivamente su alcune fattispecie di risorse e abbracciando tutta la letteratura manageriale senza circoscrivere l’analisi a specifiche aree di studi
