지주회사제도 개선 방안

초록

Available evidence suggests holding companies employ numerous expedients and produce side effects, including expanding their control with a small percentage of shareholdings, defrauding their interests, and increasing the concentration of economic power. This article investigates regulatory reforms in the holding companies. We present several improvement measures through statistical evidence and case studies of South Korea’s corporation groups. We propose strengthening regulations on having subsidiary companies (and grandchild companies), adding requirements regarding line-of-business when owning grandchild or great-grandchild companies, and prohibiting two subsidiaries from having the same grandchild company. Besides, other improvements involve strengthening disclosure of holding companies and intensifying prerequisites for determining holding companies.
