Abstract
The purpose of this study is to investigate the problems of shipbuilding industry through case studies of subcontracted unfair practices and to suggest the improvements. We analyzed the press releases from 2007 to August 2017 provided by the Fair Trade Commission of Korea, and summarized 533 unfair practices that were violated by 146 companies and we figured out that 11 companies related to the shipbuilding industry had made 21 unfair acts. Unlike other industries, it is found that the Article 4 (prohibition of illegal subcontracting) was the most violation among cases of 21 unfair practices. Also, when compared with other companies, it can be seen that the characteristics of unfair practices in shipbuilding industry are different. In conclusion, we proposed the necessity of development of electronic information system specialized in shipbuilding industry, the expansion of survey of written facts, and the necessity of compulsory education to improve unfair practices of shipbuilding industry.
