Daewoo bears wary of hyped optimism over stock after Thomson purchase

Article Abstract:

Daewoo Electronics Company Ltd.'s stocks rose 6% after announcing its successful bid to takeover Thomson Multimedia in Oct. 1996. However, many stock analysts are skeptic about the transaction, stressing that the Korean company will have to absorb much of Thomson's debt before it can generate profits. Thomson's losses are currently pegged at 16 billion francs. In the face of such skepticism, Daewoo Electronics officials emphasized the importance of the transaction in expanding the company's international market.

Foreign TV advertisers in South Korea are heartened by easing of restrictions

Article Abstract:

The South Korean government has begun liberalizing regulations governing television advertising. The Korea Broadcasting Advertising Corp. has reformed its strict rules on advertising time allocation and censorship. The new regulations will also allow foreign advertisers to bid for television and radio air time. Many advertisers welcomed the revisions, but some noted that the country's advertising code of ethics will continue to hinder the development of acceptable advertising campaigns.

Dong Ah shrugs off 1994 bridge collapse to build an impressive base for growth

Article Abstract:

Dong Ah Construction Industrial Co. (Dong Ah) has been able to sustain itself even after the 1994 collapse of Songsu Bridge which badly tarnished its reputation. During the 1st half of 1995, Dong Ah was able to position itself as the second largest construction company in South Korea after Hyundai Engineering and Construction Co. Despite Dong Ah's strong comeback, however, its stocks have stagnated because of the prevailing slump in the South Korean stock market.
