Korea showed weakness in the sectors of administrative efficiency (47th) and corporate management efficiency (45th). It ranked of 31st and 30th in those sectors in 2005. More specifically, Korea ranked 51st in the field of corporate laws, a subdivision of the administrative efficiency category. Furthermore, it ranked 61st in the areas of labor-management relationship and financial experts under the category of management efficiency.
