영문 초록

The Knowledge in the evolution of the technology development model in the course of economic development is of great importance for the question of what kind of a technology development strategy a developing country has to choose at each stage of economic development. The discussion on the Korean model of the transition from a developing country to a newly industrializing country (NICS) and the West German model for a developed country has shown that the technology development pattern of the both countries have been different. Not only in the past but in the future as well Korea will rely on an imitative technology development strategy whereas West Germany has enhanced its international competitiveness by adopting basically a creative technology development strategy. In other words, the Korean technology development can be compared with the Japanese model simultaneously aiming imitation and self development rather than the German model. This is because the Korean developmental environments are quite different from those faced by West Germany in the past. What a NICS country like Korea can choose as a strategy is creative imitation. An imitative technology development is necessary in order to shorten quickly the technology gap with developed countries. A NICS country can accumulate technology by repeating the process of absorbtion, adaptation and improvement of imported technology. At the same time, it has to enforce self development capacity (creative technology development) enabling to transfer technology from developed countries as well as to efficiently use transferred technology. Although the German technology development model is quite different from the Korean model, it is of great interest for Korea. The reason is because Korea can not close its technology gap with developed countries without adopting a creative technology development strategy based on basic research. The fact that West Germany could catch up with the U. S. technologies by enforcing basic research and basic technology development from 1955 to 1970, is very suggestive for the Korean technology policy. A small country like Korea has to adopt a selective technology development strategy as executed by Sweden. Switzerland. Belgium and the Netherlands rather than the Japanese strategy aiming to develop all major technology/industry areas. Korea has to concentrate its efforts on those fields where it will have international competitiveness rather than to disperse the scarce resources. It has to stimulate international technology co-operation. In order to enforce basic research and basic technology development. Korea has to encourage university research and to create German national centre (GFE) and Max-Planck Gesellschaft (MPG) type laboratories. Korea's transition to a developed country will largely depend on how successful the country will be able to enforce its basic research capacity.
