We provide an overview of the disclosure status of domestic companies by business division. Based on literature, we find that the more complex a company's business activities and the larger the company size, the more likely it is to report by business segment. In contrast, companies with higher profitability and operating in more concentrated industries are less likely to disclose by business segment. We also observe that the more complex a company's management activities were, the larger the company size, and the higher the need for financing, the higher the number of reported sales departments, but the higher the profitability, the lower the number of reported sales departments. This study is expected to provide policy implications to relevant regulatory authorities by indirectly suggesting through previous research results that companies may voluntarily disclose information depending on their unique characteristics and industrial structure, and that there is an incentive to do otherwise.
