Description
Summary:According to the authors, this is precisely the problem: virtually all industrialized economies have already been or will soon be compelled to take the same path of S&T based innovation. [...]Part V offers both a summary and an grand strategy, or, as Branscomb and Choi put it, a basic philosophy and paradigm for a new national Korean system of innovation based on S&T. Korea at the Turning Point is a useful, though not outstanding, book. [...]understanding the challenges faced by Korea is a common thread that runs through most, if not all, of the chapters. To be sure, a number of contributors discuss South Korea's unique cultural, political, and socioeconomic development. [...]in chapter 12, Choi and Branscomb explicitly state that the technology-based innovation model they propose is designed to accommodate South Korea's "special circumstances" (201).
