The Strategy for Korea's Economic Success
by Dr. Hwy-Chang Moon
Visiting Scholar at Stanford University’s Asia Pacific Research Center
The success of Korea has inspired numerous research studies in the past decade but the studies have not been able to satisfactorily explain Korea’s "miraculous" economic growth. Dr. Moon discusses his new model that explains how a country or firm can develop a competitive advantage over others without being more innovative or resourceful.
