Learning and Innovation in Economic Development

Reviews / Votes

'Learning and Innovation in Economic Development is an ideal read for newcomers to the subject, as well as those who consider themselves experts in this field. . . the book provides a detailed commentary on how Korea has successfully industrialized over a relatively short period of time, as well as what possible lessons this may have been for other developing countries. . . given the attempts of developing countries to "catch up" with developed ones, this book will appeal to policymakers and practitioners who are involved in research and development. . . this book will also appeal to economic historians and development economists who are interested in NICs.' -- Marcus Powell, Asia Pacific Business Review '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
