cordially invite you to a dissemination seminar:
Korea as a Knowledge Economy
Evolutionary Process and Lessons Learned
This book on Korea is geared towards policymakers from developing countries who
are interesting in transitioning their countries towards the knowledge economy.
By reviewing its economic development since the 1960s, the book not only
examines the current policies and challenges of today?s high-income Korea, but
also highlights the array of knowledge strategies deployed to propel Korea to
its present state. The book therefore provides compelling policy lessons that
are relevant for developing countries at different stages of economic
development.
