The first criminal division of the Seoul High Court sentenced Vice-Chairman Lee, who was charged with bribery and other charges, to two years and six months in prison. Vice-Chairman Lee, who was being tried in a state of disability, was issued a warrant on that day and was arrested in court. 2021.1.18<br /> </figcaption></figure> <p>Jaeyong Lee Samsung Electronics[005930] Experts predicted that “Samsung Electronics will have difficulty in making large-scale investment decisions in the future” when the vice chairman was sentenced to imprisonment and arrested at the remand court trial for the destruction of the’Gukjeong Nongdan case’ on the 18th.</p> <p>It is pointed out that major decisions such as large-scale investments or mergers and acquisitions are delayed as Vice Chairman Lee, Samsung’s owner and manager, is arrested, which could adversely affect long-term growth potential.</p> <p>SONG Jae-yong, a professor at Seoul National University Business School, predicted that “Samsung Electronics will contract in major decisions such as large-scale investment due to the vacancy of the total number due to the arrest of Vice Chairman Lee Jae-yong.”</p> <p>Prof. Song said, “It is very important to invest in the information and communication industry such as Samsung Electronics in a timely manner.” “Samsung’s rivals, such as Apple and Google, are actively engaged in mergers and acquisitions, but Samsung, whose total number has disappeared, is a major decision. It has to be difficult.”</p> <p>He said, “Even in the past case, there was a tendency to only’maintain’ if the owner manager was imprisoned.’ Said.</p> <p>Professor Lee Byung-tae of KAIST’s business administration said, “This is not the first time that Korean conglomerates have been arrested,” he said. “Looking at the past cases, there is no significant impact in the short term due to the role of professional managers even after the absence of the president.”</p> <p>In fact, in February 2017, Vice Chairman Lee Jae-yong was arrested for the first time in the Gukjeong Nongdan case and was imprisoned for about a year, but Samsung Electronics recorded an operating profit of 53.6 trillion won, mainly in semiconductors in 2017, recording the highest performance ever.</p> <p>Professor Byung-Tae Lee said, “There was no impact on the short-term performance, but when Vice Chairman Lee Jae-yong was imprisoned, Samsung’s CEO and executive personnel were delayed, and the decision to restructure was delayed. In the mid- to long-term, damage will increase due to the difficulty of drastic mergers and acquisitions and restructuring.”</p> <p>Experts point out that we should focus on improving the system to minimize the damage caused by the sudden total number gap.</p> <p>Prof. Song Jae-yong said, “No matter what the outcome, companies must be managed normally as they are.” “Not only Samsung Electronics, but Korean companies with owner and managers reinforce the role of professional managers, allowing them to operate normally even in the absence of a head office. Should be built.”</p> <p>Some civic groups welcomed the sentence against Vice Chairman Lee Jae-yong, saying that it was “appropriate.”</p> <p>Lee Ji-woo, a secretary at the Economic and Financial Center of the Participatory Solidarity, said, “It is a fairly light punishment compared to the crimes committed, but it is fortunate that the sentence was imprisoned, not probation.”</p> <p>He said, “As the Samsung Compliance Committee has limitations in monitoring as an external organization, it is necessary to re-establish the role of the board of directors to prevent recurrence.” “Efforts to strengthen the transparency of the board of directors are necessary by introducing a system such as recommended directors for workers.” Added.</p> </div> <p><a href=Source
