PROFILE |
 |
"Hyundai" means "the present time" in Korean, but for Hyundai Group the present -- with the organization's financial troubles and in-fighting -- is by no means the best time. One of South Korea's five largest "chaebol" (family-run conglomerates), Hyundai has included companies engaged in automobile manufacture, trade, electronics, construction, finance, shipping, metals and machinery manufacturing, petrochemical production and oil refining, shipbuilding, and industrial plant construction. Under government orders to reduce debt, the group is selling noncore businesses, and has spun off its profitable automotive unit (including Hyundai Motor and Kia Motors).
