Learning and Innovation in Economic Development : Selected Essays

Taking his own country as the prime exhibit, Kim (management, Korea U.) identifies the evolutionary processes and patterns of learning, capability building, and innovation in catch-up countries, suggesting that such economies display different patterns than more advanced ones. He examines industries such as consumer electronics, machinery, pharmaceuticals, automobiles, and semiconductors, all of which have contributed importantly to Korea's economic growth. He also analyzes both the formal and informal mechanisms that the country has used in acquiring technologies from other countries and how the technologies are assimilated and in some cases improved. Only names are indexed. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
