Description
For Korea to continue to develop and grow its economy in the post-industrial era, it requires more advanced economic and social development strategies. These must be founded in the virtuous correlation between the ICT industry leading the transition to an advanced nation and key elements of economic and social development. This book attempts to explore cases related to the ICT industry in South Korea, analyze factors that have contributed to its successful and unsuccessful experiences, and carry out comparisons with those of other nations.
