Summary

At the beginning of the 1990s, Korean firms emarked on an impressive wave of direct investment abroad. This dramatic multinationalization was considered as yet another sign of Korea's remarkable economic performance, especially as a high proportion of the foreign ventures were located in advanced countires. But this unbalanced quest for globalization actually tested the 'Korean model' to its limits; after the 1997 crisis a new policy course prepared the way for a surge of inward investment. Using empirical tests and case studies, this collection shows that Korean groups have invested in developed countries to jump over trade barriers, but also to source advanced technology and marketing capabilities. Moreover, their ambitious strategies have been stimulated by oligopolistic rivalry among the chaebols. From a policy perspective, the book provides an original discussion of national ownership by questioning the substitutability between inward and outward foreign investment and its relationship with theevolution of the national innovation system. By shedding light on the pattern of Korea's internationalization, these essays make a valuable contribution to the thoery of international production and provide important insights for the current policy debates on globalization and innovation-led growth.
