Korea in GVCs

KIET commissioned Duke GVCC to analyze Korea's participation in the global electronics and shipbuilding industries to identify broader lessons for Korea’s future ambitions for industrial transformation. The research draws on multiple data sources: an extensive review of the academic and business literature for the two industries; in-country interviews with representatives from the private sector, industry associations, research institutions, and regulatory bodies; national economic growth plans; aggregated international and national trade data. The report has five chapters. The second project built on recommendations from the first project with KIET to explore opportunities in digital technology-related services.
