GDP per capita has stuck in $ 10,000 range since 95, with slowing growth.
* GDP per capita has stagnated around top 30 (’06, $18,392) (’91∼’06), growth: 8.5%(’00) → 5.0%(’06) → 4.9%(’07)
Korea’s hourly wage of manufacturing ($13.56) is 14 times greater than that of China. ($0.96), Korea’s entry level wage of college graduate is 94.6% of Japan’s.
* Korea’s labor productivity per hour is ¼ of Japan or the U.S.
Korean products’ value creation is undervalued compared to advanced nations.’
•Assuming products are same, U.S. and Japan products are valued at $149, German products at $155, Korean productsat $100. (Survey by KORTA on 2,809 from 21nations, Dec. ’06)
With lack of component materials, original technology increasing royalty, technical gap latecomers is narrowing.
* 26% of semiconductor and display equipment is Korean, IT technical gap bet. Korea and China : 2.6yr.(’03) → 1.7yr.(’06)
- How Korean manufacturing industry has responded to transition toward knowledge economy -
(Success : shipbuilding) advanced knowledge base, creating innovative new process such as ‘on-land shipbuilding’
to secure competitiveness - create high values by exporting LNG ship, oil rig, ice breaker (no. 1 in terms of contracts awarded in ’06)
(Failure : textile) settled to secure price competitiveness of commodity, being overtaken by Chinese counterparts with failure to transition. - Global textile export market share : (’85) Korea 7.0%, China 6.0% → (’03) Korea 3.5%, China 18.0%

Korea is offsetting deficits in trading with Japan with trade surplus of China.
- It is important to maintain increasingly narrowed technical gap with developing nations like China.
“China will be soon No.1 economic power in Asia. Although China is lagging behind Japan in high-tech, China’s economy will be five times greater than that of Japan by mid-21st century... Korea’s competitive edge over China in high-tech can rapidly disappear. To survive competition with China and India with labor competitiveness it is imperative to develop creativity”(by Lee Kuan Yew, former prime minister of Singapore, lecture delivery to Korea University May 20 ’06)

Commercialization and facilitation of trade of patented technology is the key in creating values by using IPRs.
Strengthen support to facilitate commercialization of patented technology such as patent-backed loans

only 6.1% of all patents filed by residents. (’05, KIPO)
- University : spending 9.9% of national R&D investment and securing 69.4% of Ph. D → patent
application is only 2.4%.
- Public (Research) :spending 13.2% of national R&D and securing 12.9% of Ph. D → patent application
accounts for only 3.7%.
lack of patent information to improve R&D efficiency
Those involved in national R&D projects, have high awareness of the need for patent information
survey, (84.2%),
but only 28.0% carry out patent information survey before their R&D projects (’07, KIIP)
Paper-oriented research achievement scoring system undervalues efforts for patents.
