A. SOUTH KOREA'S NATIONAL INNOVATION SYSTEM
I. ECONOMIC OVERVIEW
1. Economic Development History
South Korea's innovation advancement is certainly an integral part of its history, especially the post-war time. Science and Technology policies varied in each period, being both the reason and consequence for economic performance and priorities. According to World Bank's study in 1993, Korean development history is divided into 5 main periods:
⢠War, reconstruction and land reform (1950-60)
⢠Export takeoff (1961-73)
⢠Heavy and chemical industries drive (1973-79)
⢠Functional incentives and liberalization (1980-90)
⢠Financial sector liberalization (1990-now)
Export takeoff period
The export takeoff period was characterized by the aggressive promotion of exports combined with classic import protection at home by using trade, foreign exchange and financial policies.
