LG Group said Tuesday its affiliates will spend 100 billion won strengthening their design leadership in various industries such as electronics, interior design and cosmetics.
The design budget has been increasing from 78 billion won in 2006 and 88 billion won in 2007. The group also plans to hire more designers this year from the current 640 to 700. The decision was made at the LG Design Committee, which was established last year by Chairman Koo Bon-moo.
