  5. Korea’s Major Economic Indicators • Current Situation

  6. Korea’s Economic Growth < Trend of Korea’s Economic Growth > 1981~90 9.1% High Growth Period 1971~80 9.5% High Growth Period 1991~2000 6.7% 2001~10 4.3% 2011~2015 3% Low Growth Period Real Growth Rate Potential Growth Rate ※ Source : The Bank of Korea

  7. Growth Engine (1) : Export < Export’s Contribution Rate to Economic Growth > (Rate : %)

  8. Trade Trend • Until 1980’s imports exceeded exports, but after 1990’s the situation reversed. • From 1990s, the products of heavy chemical industry exceeds those of light industry in the structure of exporting items. ※ Source : The Korea International Trade Association, The Korea National Statistical Office

  34. 4 Key Characteristics of Korean Innovation System

  35. Key characteristics of Korean Innovation System • Key factors that influenced the Korean Innovation System • Outward-looking development strategy → Pressure for R&D investment • Government policy toward FDI TT → Focus on indigenous R&D • Government-led industrial development • Industry-targeting → Inter-industry R&D imbalance • Favoring large enterprises → R&D system biased for large firms/Financial capability to invest in R&D • S&T for industrialization → R&D system biased toward technology development • Rich pool of well educate HRST → High absorptive capacity • Government-led development of S&T infrastructure → Relative importance of GRIs

  36. Government’s role : STI support programs by stage Input-based growth Knowledge-based growth R&D GrossExpen-diture on R&D Semi-conductor, digital appliances, IT, ….. 29,703(2009) - Green Growth - New Growth Engine Automobiles, Ships, Computer, Semi-conductor Apparels, Steel, Chemicals, Construction, Home application -NIS / RIS -New Growth Engine -TT -Industrial Base Development Program -Promotion of Ventures -KOSDAQ 24,155 Wig Plywood -MOST: HAN Project -MOCIE: Industrial Base TD Program -MIC: IT, R&D -R&D Tax Incentive -Industrial R&D Center -NRDP TT -TD Reserve Fund - TDPL / ETPL* 13,849 3,210 212 1970 1980 1990 2000 2005 2010 PCGG, PMO MOST MOCIE, MIC, MOE, …..

  37. Strength and weakness • Strength • Consensus on the importance of S&T : Dynamism of Korean business enterprises plus strong commitment of the government to S&T-based national development • Economic environments conducive to active innovation : Domestic firms’ exposure to international markets – pressure for R&D • Chaebol system : Financial capability to invest in long-term risky projects • Human resources • Growing scientific achievements : publications, IPR, etc • Attained technological leadership in selected areas

  38. Weakness • Disadvantage of being small • Imbalances in innovation system • Basic scientific research vs technological development • Large firms vs SMEs • Regional concentration • Manufacture vs Service • Excessive reliance on private investment : vulnerable to changes in markets • Weak industry-science relationship • Insufficient internationalization : insufficient international R&D collaboration and international co-invention, etc.

  39. 5 Policy Lessons and Future Directions

  40. Policy Lessons and Future Directions • Lessons • Market competition is the very source of motivation for innovation • Pressure for technological competitiveness • Effectiveness of the outward-looking development strategy for small economies • Human resource is the key to learning • Government can play effectively the role of facilitator and promoter at the early stage of development • The efficiency of an NIS • Future Directions • Industry-oriented policy • Catch-up Strategy → Creative Strategy • Globalization and Open Innovation • Create New Growth Engine
