This study aims at developing some hypotheses on the politics of innovation in catching-up countries. Although innovation studies of catching-up countries have studied the process of acquisition of technological capabilities, the politics of innovation was not seriously considered in those studies. This study suggests a conceptual frame-works of the innovation politics and analyses the innovation process of mobile telecommunication system in Korea. Some hypotheses on the patterns and effects of innovation politics in catching-up countries are put forward.

본 연구는 TDX 및 CDMA 등 과거 기술추격기(Catching-up)에 이루어졌던 국가연구개발사업 성공사례와 탈추격기(Post Catching-up)에 이루어진 FTTH 기술개발 사례를 비교 분석한다. 이를 통해, 추격기에서의 국가연구개발사업 성공모델이 탈추격기 상황에서 왜 효과적으로 작동하지 않은가를 규명하고 탈추격기에서 국가연구개발사업의 성공을 위한 정책적 개선방안을 제시한다. 탈추격기의 FTTH 기술개발 사례를 추격기의 TDX 및 CDMA 사례들과 비교하면, 탈추격기에는 1) 기술적 불확실성이 높고 기술표준을 설정하기 어려우며, 2) 정부 주도의 연구개발과 시장창출이 용이하지 않고, 3) 연구개발 컨소시엄 참여자들의 비전 공유가 어렵고, 그리고 4) 마케팅 능력이 취약한 중소 벤처기업들에 의해 상용화가 이루어진 점 등에서 차이가 있다. 이러한 탈추격기 국가연구개발사업의 성공을 위한 정부의 역할과 국가 차원의 기술개발 전략을 논의한다.

본 연구는 기술추격론 및 산업혁신체제론에 의거해서 국내 IT SoC산업의 기술추격을 검토했다. 국내 IT SoC산업은 많은 중소벤처 팹리스업체들의 출현에 의한 다양성 창조 및 일부 팹리스업체의 급성장에 따른 선택의 과정을 거쳐 급속한 기술추격 과정을 밟아왔다. 이 과정에서 국내 팹리스업체들은 틈새시장을 중심으로 한 경로개척형 기술추격을 수행해 왔다. 현재 국내 IT SoC산업은 많은 문제점을 가지고 있지만, 산업혁신체제의 공진화를 달성하려면 무엇보다도 기업간 협력네트워크 구축이 선결과제이다 기업간 협력네트워크는 시장의 힘에 의해 자동적으로 해결되기 어려운 시스템실패의 한 형태이기 때문에 이를 해결하기 위한 정부정책이 요망된다.

This study presents a developmental pattern of technological capability of catching-up players in terms of production, investment, innovation and networking capability. In order to do this, the study develops an analytical framework and examines the experience of the Korean semiconductor industry. Although the presented pattern in the study is not a general pattern for all catching-up players, this pattern implies one of the useful dynamic strategies for catching-up players in developing countries. In addition, this study discusses its contributions and further research areas in the last part of the paper.

According to Gerschenkron (1962), the industrialization of relative backward countries was characterized in a systematically varying fashion by sudden spurts. With respect to the technological loaming, its globalization, and the subsequent development of technological capability, Korea, a catching-up nation had some experiences of identifiable discontinuities in her technological development in various industries. This study examines a developmental path of technological catching-up in Korean mobile telecommunication, especially CDMA industry and argues that investment and networking capability play an infrastructural role in accumulating her technological capability. Note that the technological experiences in high-tech industries have made Korea take a different technological path with respect to the previous industrialization. For this purpose, it proposes an analytical framework for examining a developmental path of Korean catching-up players. In addition, it analyzes the case of the Korean mobile telecommunication industry on the basis of the framework, and identifies a developmental path from the case analysis.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the knowledge creating pattern of technology catching-up and pioneering phase in the new product development process. This paper first reviews the knowledge conversion, absorptive capability, learning orientation and the trigger of learning. The paper then presents the integrative model of knowledge creating. Based on the integrative model, in-depth case analysis was conducted on the new product development process in Phicom. As a result, the paper discuss that the pattern of absorptive capability building, knowledge conversion and knowledge transfer is different from technology catching-up and pioneering phase. Finally, the implications and limitations of the study are discussed.

This paper examines the change of innovation practices in the Korean industry which is entering into the 'post catching-up regime'. In catching-up regime, the technological loaming practices of Korean firms could be characterized as the assimilation and improvement of foreign technologies through crisis construction and time pressure. Crisis construction and time pressure were the important factors enhancing the intensity of technological teaming and shaping the way of doing imitative innovation. But the innovation patterns of firm are changing. The new ways of doing innovation are emerging in Korean mobile phone industry which is becoming a world leader： the emphasis on the importance of technological planning, the enhancement of collaborative networks among related firms, the toleration on the failure and the effort to acquire core technologies. Though Korean firms have not developed enough capabilities to create basic core technologies, they can develop their competitiveness through creative combination of technologies and are approaching the world frontier.

Korean firms have attempted to catch up in the aircraft industry during last quarter century. Korean firms have built up their capabilities by moving from parts manufacturing through subassembly to system integration. The number of projects carried out and the intensity of technological effort undertaken by firms strongly influences market position and firm performance. However, successful catching up is not simply dependent on capability building within the firm. The national environment (Porter, 1990) in which firms are located plays a pivotal role. The Korean government has been effective in creating a favorable environ-ment in many areas, but has not been able to replicate this success in the aircraft industry. Opportunities for learning in the aircraft industry have been hampered by the small size of the Korean civilian aircraft market and the sophisticated requirements of military systems. A policy of domestic rivalry in airframe manufacture has created too many firms for such a small market. The ability of Korean firms to catch up in the aircraft industry depends on both the internal capabilities of firms as well as appropriate government policies and the involve- ment of government research institutions and universities over an extended period of time. There have been many studies about the catching up of developing countries in mass production (such as automobile, consumer electronics, and recently DRAM), but few in complex systems, such as aircraft.

Exploring innovations for latecomers to catch up has been a popular concern in industry and academia. Over the last decade, more and more East Asian latecomer firms have moved beyond imitation and are delivering innovative products and services to the market. However, the semiconductor latecomers from China have limited success in catching up with more mature semiconductor firms. Our study examines how semiconductor latecomers to break through the latecomer's dilemma by innovation and achieve catch-up. We use a single-case approach for the Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation (SMIC) vertical development process to analysis its innovation path of catching up. The study's results showed that SMIC relied on the government's policy and funding support, and based on the strategic endurance of entrepreneurs, it persisted in technology R&D investment and independent innovation for 20 years. SMIC finally smashed the dilemma of latecomers and successfully achieved catch-up. With these findings, we believe that the path of catching up innovation for semiconductor latecomers should be equipped with independent innovation of technology, strategic leadership of entrepreneurs and support of government policies. As these factors are combined, latecomer firms' position is expected to rise and catch-up will become visible. Our study contributes to some enlightenment on the innovation path for latecomers in China and global semiconductors to achieve their catch-up.
