In 2004 and 2005 GE invested about 1.3b USD in Hyundai Card and Hyundai Capital in a deal that saw them become the 2nd largest shareholder of each company. At that time, the two Hyundai-owned companies had been significantly affected by the credit card crisis in Korea and both were in dire need of capital in order to normalize their operations. After forming a joint venture with GE, Hyundai Card and Hyundai Capital experienced a cultural clash between GE’s principle-oriented culture and Hyundai’s speed-orientated culture. Nevertheless, Hyundai Card and Hyundai Capital overcame these difficulties and created synergetic processes in a way that sees it defined as being one of GE’s most successful foreign joint venture cases. The joint venture between GE and Hyundai is not just simply a combination of financial assets, it is a tight bond that reflects the chemical fusion that can exist between corporate culture and people.
