Technology strategy development in Korean industry: an assessment of market and government influences
Article Abstract:
The technology development strategies of South Korean firms in relation to government policies and market forces were evaluated. The government initiated technology strategies in conjunction with economic development plans that began in the 1960s. A survey was sent to research and development executives in major manufacturing firms. The responding firms comprised 61% of South Korean GNP. It was concluded that government influence in technology development was insignificant and that Korean firms emphasized the planning of viable technologies. It was suggested that the government can encourage competitiveness and innovations by supporting small business start-ups.
