Abstract |
The paper overviews the market for control in Korea and related rules and laws, comparing them with foreign institutions, and provides policy measures for their improvement. In Korea, we rarely observe disciplinary takeovers, where failing or immoral managers are entrenched, and enjoy huge private benefit of control at the expense of minority shareholders. The paper suggests introduction of mandatory tender offer, diversity in takeover valuation methods, restriction on resale of treasury stocks, and reinforcement of the fiduciary duty of directors among others. |
