5.0 out of 5 stars Korea's road to multinational electronics production, August 10, 2002

This review is from: Technology Transfer and International Production: The Development of the Electronic Industry in Korea (Hardcover)

Technology Transfer And International Production: The Development Of The Electronics Industry In Korea is a scholarly and in-depth look at Korea's road to multinational electronics production. Three main questions are the source of discussion: 1) How was Korea able to develop its technology so successfully with such a limited influx of foreign technologies and capital? 2) What is the role of multinational firms in the process of 'teaching' technology to firms of developing countries? 3) How has Korean public policy influenced its technology development? Case studies, a careful eye for business, an analysis of the inter-business arrangement called "original equipment manufacturing" and more puts together a candid picture for answering these three key questions. An erudite study of a dynamic issue, Technology Transfer And International Production is recommended for students of the Korean electronic industry and technological innovations.
