Preferred term

chaebols  

Definition

  • The Korean word chaebol is used to refer to the highly diversified business groups contributing to the post-World War II industrialization in South Korea. Family ownership has not been significant in chaebols; despite this, the control of chaebols by founding families is typically due to cross-shareholding.
