Korea's economy was top of the agenda for President-elect Park Geun-hye's transition team Sunday. Park emphasized the need to build systems to better support the country's small and medium-sized companies. She proposed a system that would provide comprehensive information about small and mid-sized firms, so her administration could support the businesses that really need help and reduce government waste.. She also proposed a state-controlled database that would act as a bridge between the companies and job seekers.
For policy management overall, Park said setting up the policies accounts for only ten-percent of the management, while the remaining 90-percent should be focused on monitoring how the policies are being carried out.
