Over the last decade, some Korean enterprises have emerged to become global players in their specialized products. How have they achieved such tremendous technological progress in a short period of time? This paper explores that question by examining the characteristics of technological innovation activities at major Korean enterprises. The paper begins with a brief review of the stages of economic growth and science and technology development in Korea. Then, the existing literature, explaining the Korean innovation model, is analyzed in order to establish a new framework for the Korean innovation model. Specifically, Korean firms have experienced three sequential phases, and thus, the Korean model, at the firm level, can be coined as "path-following," "path-revealing," and "path-creating." Then, the stylized facts in the first phase (path-following) and the second phase (path-revealing) are discussed, in the context of empirical evidence from the areas of memory chips, automobiles, shipbuilding, and steel. In terms of technology development, the Korean model has evolved as "collective learning" in the first phase, "collective recombination" of existing knowledge and technology in the second phase, and is assumed as "collective creativity" in the third phase. Ultimately, all three can be classified as "collective creation". Korean firms now face a transition in the modes of technological innovation in order to efficiently implement the third phase. To achieve remarkable progress again, as they did in the past, and to sustain the growth momentum, Korean firms should challenge new dimensions such as creative technological ideas, distinctive technological capabilities, and unique innovation systems -- all of which connote 'uniqueness'. Finally, some lessons from the Korean technological innovation experience are addressed.

With wide recognition of significant roles of venture companies in economic and industrial developments, substantial academic attention has been paid to understanding venture success and numerous policy measures have been made to help them. A serious problem, however, is that only a few limited number of venture could successfully grow to be large firm. The goal of this paper is to identify critical factors to drive 'leapfrogging' growth of venture companies by analyzing the success cases in Daejeon area. The theoretical analysis and case study suggest 1) founders' entrepreneurship continuity as a significant internal organization factor for growth and highlight importance of 2) exploring foreign markets and globalization of business operation in the early stage of growth. Furthermore, the research results identify two critical innovation strategies, 3) ambidextrous R&D strategy and 4) open innovation strategy, for entrepreneurial founders to effectively catch the business chances brought by environment change.

한국 혁신 생태계는 후발 추격자에서 '민간 주도의 건강하고 역동적인 생태계 조성을 위한 정부의 역할이 중요한' 창조적 선도자 단계로 진화해 왔다. 한국의 혁신 생태계는 그동안의 획기적인 발전과 양적 확대에도 불구하고 혁신 성과의 정체 현상, 생태계 내 및 글로벌 연계 활동의 부족 등을 보여주고 있다. 미래 지향적인 혁신 생태계 조성을 위한 차세대 혁신 생태계 모델이 요구되는 상황이다. 기존의 이론적 근거를 바탕으로 혁신 생태계의 바탕을 이루는 것이 기업간 네트워크라는 관점에서 차세대 혁신 생태계의 요소로 기업간 네트워크 외에, 기업 역량, 공공 연구기관, 민간 산업단체, 기술 인프라, 정책 주체를 바탕으로 5개 요소를 설정하고, 불연속적 기술 및 시장 변화에 부응하는 '민간 주도의 건강하고 역동적인' 혁신 생태계로서의 차세대 혁신 생태계 모델을 제시하였고 혁신 생태계구축 역할을 담당하는 정책 주체의 구체적인 방향을 제시하고, 본 연구의 의의를 제시하였다.

본 연구는 오프쇼어링과 리쇼어링의 원인을 해석하고 이를 촉진시키는 요인과 발생 분야에 대해 검증하고자 한다. 자기조직화 현상과 프로스펙트 이론 관점 하, 미국 리쇼어링 협회의 실측 데이터를 활용하여 미국의 리쇼어링과 오프쇼어링의 실질적인 효과를 계량분석 방법으로 실증 분석 하였다. 연구결과 미국으로의 오프쇼어링은 미국 내 시장력과 투자국가의 혁신성에 양의 상관관계를 보이고, 미국기업의 미국 본국으로의 리쇼어링은 미국 내 시장력에 양의 상관관계이지만, 혁신성과는 상관관계가 미미하였다. 미국기업의 리쇼어링은 해외기업의 오프쇼어링을 이끌며 강한 상관관계를 보이고 있고, 아시아 등 경제 신흥국은 추격 사이클이 짧은 IT분야에 오프쇼어링을 집중하는 경향이 나타났다. 본 연구는 국가의 기업 투자지원 정책 방향성 수립과 경영자의 생산기반 투자 의사 결정에 기여할 것으로 본다. 향후 연구는 리쇼어링과 오프쇼어링의 영향 인자를 보강하여 경제적 후생 평가 모형을 완성하고자 한다.

In recent, the Korean fisheries industry face an overall crisis. Annual fish catch is continuously decreasing for last two decades even though various programs to improve fish population. Moreover, domestic fish market is more and more occupied by imported cheap fish products from abroad due to the consequence of open economic policy, FTA and WTO/DDA entente. Under the circumstances, this study aims to examine the potential for building fisheries cluster as a policy tool to promote fisheries and fisheries-associated industries in Korea. To achieve this goal, the authors firstly reviewed the theoretical concept of Industrial Cluster in the evolutionary economics point of view, secondly, analyzed the main components of Porterian Cluster(or innovation cluster), thirdly, derived the key reasons to induce the improvement of productivity within the cluster network system and lastly evaluated fisheries capability and industrial infrastructures of each province as a basic condition to build a fisheries cluster. The result of the study demonstrates the voluntary accumulation of fish products and processing techniques in Korea, however, it is not enough to make up a Porterian innovation. Therefore, the present is most opportune for applying fisheries cluster as a strategic policy tool. Government supports to establish innovation cluster for fisheries may contribute both fisheries industry and local economy by developing the latent capacity of fisheries and helping concentrate innovation capabilities.

Science, technology, society and humanities (STSH) fusion research is aimed at creating new research areas and methods that can resolve complicated issues in society that cannot be solved by a single academic discipline. This study identifies initiatives that can promote STSH fusion research in Korea. We review the definition and characteristics of STSH fusion research to analyze the necessity of STSH fusion research with a focus on the structural changes in the S&T environment. The emergence and diffusion of generic technologies, transition to post catch-up innovation mode, and the evolution of policy to the third generation innovation policy are identified as notable changes. This paper briefly reviews the status of fusion research underway and presents initiatives to promote STSH fusion research.

Basic research is becoming more important in knowledge-based economy. In Korea, government's research policy has been enforcing applied research and development for economic growth rather than basic research. But, in 21st century, Korea's catch-up policy in science and technology arrived its limit. Without creative knowledge, we cannot expect national competitiveness. Therefore, we have to reform our research policy for national competitiveness. The directions are as follows; first, strengthening basic research, especially use-inspired basic research. Second, enlarging individual research program rather than group research program. Third, encouraging universities' specification through research grant review criteria. Fourth, beginning a new program for supporting regional universities' competitiveness.

In case of Korea, the entire volume of TFT-LCD Top Chassis was previously imported from Japan. However, Se-jong Hitech in Korea has successfully introduced the mass production system using domestic technology, and even in terms of quality, cost and the delivery timing, the production capability of Korea now becomes superior to that of Japan. Se-jong Hitech has grown to be the most competitive one in the domestic market in Korea, and the current market share of the firm was turned out to be more than 70%. There reasons for the success of Se-jong Hitech might be the effort for fully credible relationship with the large corporations, the effective use of catch-up strategy, the core competence and the manager's business midset, etc.

This article aims at demonstrating location specific approach for agricultural technology promotion and adoption in improving the livelihood of the small farmers in the haor basin and coastal belt of Bangladesh. Innovative technologies that have potentials are initially screened by ex-ante investigation and instrumented by the business model canvas, which is used as a bottom-up approach for sustainability of the adoption of proposed technology innovations. Village-level extension farmers, sub-district extension officers and farmers' cooperative are the unique and central features to the business models and forward linkages. Extension service, power tiller, low-lift pump, sunflower, shallow tube well, quality seed, forward linkage for farmed duck eggs, live ducks and open catch fish etc. are the suggested potential technology innovations for the small farmers. The technology adoption business model can be reinvented for different locations within or beyond the country considering the local agricultural problems and prospects for greater sustainability.
