‘Kim being one of the leading scholars on the theme of the book and on Korea, there can hardly be any comment on the quality and content of the articles. Through this book the job of the upcoming researcher in the field of science policy and innovation studies made a lot easier. It is also one of the good starters for scholars studying the innovation in the developing countries. . . The presentation and organisation of the articles make the book interesting to read.’
– S. Visalakshi, Journal of Scientific and Industrial Research
‘Linsu Kim is one of the most perceptive scholars of economic development in general, and the development of Korea in particular. This book brings together a collection of his most important, and interesting articles. Together they form a fascinating and powerful book on the nature of the economic development process in countries like Korea that have been very successful at it.’
– Richard Nelson, Columbia University, US
In this carefully chosen selection of essays, Linsu Kim – one of Korea’s foremost social scientists, who is advising the Korean government on reform strategy in light of the recent crisis – identifies the evolutionary processes and patterns of learning, capability building, and innovation in catch-up countries. He suggests that catch-up economies display different patterns of learning and innovation to more advanced countries.
