Samsung Electronics (005930 KS): Ongoing Struggles with Technology Leaks and Governance Issues
- Former Samsung executive attempted to construct replicated factory 1.5 km away from Samsung Electronics’ Chinese plant by stealing technology
- Prosecutors described this case as a leakage of “core national technologies”
- This technology theft incident falls under the category of risk oversight, and currently, Samsung Electronics’ company risk is rated at an extreme level of 4.0
Less Positive Disclosure Regarding the Gender Wage Gap Is Evidence of Less Positive Reasons
- The few positive disclosures suggest that there are few positive companies. The question is how much progress companies will make in efforts on gender gap disparity over the next year.
- To eliminate this gap, companies need to quickly realize that human resources are valued fairly as human capital, without gender distinction, and used as a resource for growth.
- Now that stock prices have become a key measure of management, pressure from investors influencing stock prices is more effective. Deep analysis of human capital disclosures is required of investors.
