Strategy, Structure and Performance of Korean Business Groups: A Transactions Cost Approach
Abstract
The authors use the transactions cost approach to analyze the diversification strategy and the resulting structure chosen by Korean business groups to overcome market imperfections prevalent in developing countries. Business groups that have multidivisional struc ture are thought to show superior economic performance because such s tructure reduces transactions costs arising from organizational failure. Also, major Korean business groups have a "relational structure, " showing both vertical integration and the characteristics of the conglomerate. The authors modify the model of R. E. Caves and M. Uekusa (1976), used for Japan, to obtain the empirical result tha t group-affiliated firms show superior economic performance. Copyright 1988 by Blackwell Publishing Ltd.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
