Book Synopsis Korean Industrial Policy by : Danny M. Leipziger
Download or read book Korean Industrial Policy written by Danny M. Leipziger and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 1993 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The World Bank is changing the way it does business in the energy sector. This Policy Paper is one of two that outlines the Bank's new policies for the sector. The review was prompted by concern about the effects of power generation on the environment and on populations that may be resettled to make way for projects. Another stimulus was the macroeceonomic reality of fewer investment resources in many countries. And many developing countries are becoming more receptive to reforming the way energy is produced and consumed. This paper credits the public monopoly approach of the last 30 years with facilitating expansion of power supplies, capturing technical economies of scale, and making effective use of scarce managerial and technical skills. Nonetheless, it recommends several new policies to improve the performance of the electric power sector in developing countries. These reforms will guide future Bank activities in the sector. Bank loans for electric power will go first to countries clearly committed to improving the performance of their power sectors. The Bank will also discourage subsidies on energy prices and will encourage private investment in utilities. And it will provide financing to help the least developed countries import power where local generation is not practical. The efficiency of production and use of electric power in developing countries is examined in a companion paper, Energy Efficiency and Conservation in the Developing World: The World Banks Role . The World Bank's Role in the Electric Power Sector is also available in Spanish: La funcion del Banco Mundial en el sector de la electricidad. Politicas para efectuar una reforma institucional, regulatoria, y financieria eficaz. (ISBN 0-8213-2451-9) / Stock No. 12451 / $7.95 / Price code 007 / Spanis

Book Synopsis The Oxford Handbook of Industrial Hubs and Economic Development by : Arkebe Oqubay
Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Industrial Hubs and Economic Development written by Arkebe Oqubay and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2020-07-23 with total page 800 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Industrialization supported by industrial hubs has been widely associated with structural transformation and catch-up. But while the direct economic benefits of industrial hubs are significant, their value lies first and foremost in their contribution as incubators of industrialization, production and technological capability, and innovation. The Oxford Handbook of Industrial Hubs and Economic Development adopts an interdisciplinary approach to examine the conceptual underpinnings, review empirical evidence of regions and economies, and extract pertinent lessons for policy reasearchers and practitioners on the key drivers of success and failure for industrial hubs. This Handbook illustrates the diverse and complex nature of industrial hubs and shows how they promote industrialization, economic structural transformation, and technological catch-up. It explores the implications of emerging issues and trends such as environmental protection and sustainability, technological advancement, shifts in the global economy, and urbanization.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How did a country with a dearth of natural resources, a sprawling population congested in a limited arable land transform itself to a modern industrial state within a generation? How could these have been achieved given the lingering geopolitical threats to its very survival as a state, as evidenced by the Korean War and the internecine aggressive posturing of its neighbor from the north? This book looks at strategies, institutional arrangement, role of entrepreneurs and workers in this odyssey, and on how those factors have worked together through effective leadership to transform South Korea’s economic fortunes.
Book Synopsis Does What You Export Matter? by : Daniel Lederman
Download or read book Does What You Export Matter? written by Daniel Lederman and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2012-06-18 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Does what economies export matter for development? If so, can industrial policies improve on the export basket generated by the market? This book approaches these questions from a variety of conceptual and policy viewpoints. Reviewing the theoretical arguments in favor of industrial policies, the authors first ask whether existing indicators allow policy makers to identify growth-promoting sectors with confidence. To this end, they assess, and ultimately cast doubt upon, the reliability of many popular indicators advocated by proponents of industrial policy. Second, and central to their critique, the authors document extraordinary differences in the performance of countries exporting seemingly identical products, be they natural resources or 'high-tech' goods. Further, they argue that globalization has so fragmented the production process that even talking about exported goods as opposed to tasks may be misleading. Reviewing evidence from history and from around the world, the authors conclude that policy makers should focus less on what is produced, and more on how it is produced. They analyze alternative approaches to picking winners but conclude by favoring 'horizontal-ish' policies--for instance, those that build human capital or foment innovation in existing and future products—that only incidentally favor some sectors over others.

Book Synopsis Strategic, Policy and Social Innovation for a Post-Industrial Korea by : Joon Nak Choi
Download or read book Strategic, Policy and Social Innovation for a Post-Industrial Korea written by Joon Nak Choi and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-05-23 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Export-oriented industrialization has transformed the Korean economy so profoundly that it has become known as the "Miracle on the Han." Yet, this industrial model has become fragile, as Korea’s chaebols are being challenged by Chinese competitors. Attempts to seek out new engines of economic growth have failed, or remain underdeveloped, while a looming demographic crisis threatens to exacerbate Korea’s problems. This book outlines a blueprint for overcoming these challenges, moving beyond the business strategies, government policies, and socio-cultural patterns established under export-oriented industrialization. Written by a stellar line-up of international contributors, its central proposition is that social change is needed to support the strategic and operational transformation of the chaebol and SMEs. Specifically, it stresses the need for an appreciation of the gender, national, and ethnic diversity emerging within the Korean workplace today. If properly leveraged, such diversity has the potential to reduce the groupthink that hampers the creativity and responsiveness of Korean firms today, as well as facilitating greater success in overseas markets. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, this book will be useful to students and scholars in Korean Studies, as well as those studying business, economics, and sociology more broadly in East Asia.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this book is to provide a systematic and policy-focused analysis of Korea's development performance from a historical perspective. The book begins with post-war reconstruction efforts and extends to recent developments in the Korean economy.

The important features of the Korean development model are highlighted to draw lessons from the Korean experience.
Book Synopsis Re-Inventing Africa's Development by : Jong-Dae Park
Download or read book Re-Inventing Africa's Development written by Jong-Dae Park and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-12-31 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book analyses the development problems of sub-Sahara Africa (SSA) from the eyes of a Korean diplomat with knowledge of the economic growth Korea has experienced in recent decades. The author argues that Africa's development challenges are not due to a lack of resources but a lack of management, presenting an alternative to the traditional view that Africa's problems are caused by a lack of leadership. In exploring an approach based on mind-set and nation-building, rather than unity – which tends to promote individual or party interests rather than the broader country or national interests – the author suggests new solutions for SSA's economic growth, inspired by Korea's successful economic growth model much of which is focused on industrialisation. This book will be of interest to researchers, policymakers, NGOs and governmental bodies in economics, development and politics studying Africa's economic development, and Korea's economic growth model.

Book Synopsis South Korea’s Industrial Development Since the Early 1960s by : Sang-Woo Nam
Download or read book South Korea’s Industrial Development Since the Early 1960s written by Sang-Woo Nam and published by Emirates Center for Strategic Studies and Research. This book was released on 2020-02-12 with total page 19 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The paper examines the remarkable growth of the South Korean economy from the early 1960s to the early 2000s. This paper provides an overview of South Korea’s industrial development process, with a particular emphasis on the heavy and chemical industries’ drive in the 1970s and the impact of educational expansion and investment on technological capabilities. The paper shows how this economic growth was primarily due to an export- oriented industrialization strategy and consistent upgrades to industrial infrastructure and systems to remain competitive in the global market. One of the most important policies pursued by the government was the development of the country's human potential. The paper argues that without this investment, it would have been impossible for South Korea to emerge as one of the most innovative economies in the world. These achievements are attributable to the vision of the political leadership, a supportive government, the hard work of entrepreneurs and others who contributed their valuable human resources. It also examines the 1997 foreign exchange crisis, its causes, and impact on South Korea, as well as the lessons learned, and new policies enacted in its aftermath. The rapid build-up of industrial capabilities was the result of a substantial reduction in investment risks with comprehensive government support for financing, infrastructure, technology and manpower development. However, this also made South Korea's large multi-national industrial companies (chaebols) reckless in fiscal policies. Furthermore, a concentration of economic power and chaebol's putting family interests first — remains a cause of serious socio-political tension in South Korea. The paper concludes that South Korea’s industrial development since the early 1960s include: strong political leadership with vision and a strong commitment to economic development; industrial policy with a focus on promoting heavy and chemical industries; state-chaebol development partnership; and huge investment in human capital and technological capabilities.
