Korea's remarkable export growth is the envy of much of the developing world. The book broadens the discussion of Korea's competitive edge by developing two themes: the first has to do with the intricacies and inner workings of the main institutions for export promotion in Korea; the second with the selectivity possible in acquiring technology and in marketing products overseas. Chapter 2 describes the system of export incentives in Korea. Chapter 3 examines the way exporters regard two key institutions of the Korean incentive system-the export targets and monthly trade promotion meetings. Chapter 4 examines the ways of acquiring technology that Korean exporters regard as important for main products and processes-and what is involved in mastering new technology. Chapter 5 examines who does what in marketing Korean exports. Chapter 6 explains the probable causes of Korea's setbacks in the late 1970s, speculate about some of the challenges Korean exporters face in the 1980s, and details some of the lessons of Korea's experience for other developing countries.
