  • Analysing the Changing Trajectory of South Korea's ICT Business
    Analysing the Changing Trajectory of South Korea’s ICT Business Environment Nigel Callinan Thesis presented for the award of Doctor of Philosophy Supervisors: Professor Bernadette Andreosso & Dr. Mikael Fernström University of Limerick Submitted to the University of Limerick November 2014 Declaration I hereby certify that this material, which I now submit for assessment on the programme of study leading to the award of Doctor of Philosophy is entirely my own work, that I have exercised reasonable care to ensure that the work is original, and does not to the best of my knowledge breach any law of copyright, and has not been taken from the work of others save and to the extent that such work has been cited and acknowledged within the text of my work. Signed: ___________________________________ I.D No: 10142886 Date: Monday 10th November 2014 2 Abstract This thesis aims to provide a new perspective on the development of South Korea’s Information and Communications Technologies (ICT) Business Environment by taking a cross-disciplinary look at the area. Most studies on this subject have tended to remain within the boundaries of a single discipline. In this study, an interdisciplinary approach is taken to trace more of the paths that have influenced the development. This will provide a better understanding of the area and this insight should make it easier for any prospective organisation hoping to enter the Korean market to be successful. In little over two generations, South Korea has transformed from being one of the poorest countries in the world into a global business leader. Currently, Information Technology products are at the forefront of exports from the country and the world’s largest electronics company hails from a city just south of Seoul.

    Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized WORLD BANK GROUP KOREA OFFICE INNOVATION AND TECHNOLOGY NOTE SERIES DIGITAL BANKS: LESSONS FROM KOREA YOUJIN CHOI, FINANCIAL SECTOR SPECIALIST SEOUL CENTER FOR FINANCE AND INNOVATION FINANCE, COMPETITIVENESS AND INNOVATION GLOBAL PRACTICE, WORLD BANK Public Disclosure Authorized Digital banks have been on the rise as digital technologies transform financial services around the world. Under the Korean government’s new policy framework for digital banks, K Bank and Kakao Bank successfully launched in 2017 with convenient and innovative products and services, and brought a substantial impact on Korea’s banking sector. With their businesses growing at a fast pace, these banks sought to increase their capital accordingly, but encountered unforeseen regulatory issues on bank ownership which required new legislation and regulatory efforts to get resolved. After the first three years of operation, as of July 2020, the two banks show contrasting track records, mainly explained by differing challenges and successes in capital increase and marketing. With digital transformation accelerating and competition heightening, digital banks will need to become even more strategic and innovative to continue to be successful. This knowledge note was written to take stock of Korea’s Public Disclosure Authorized experience with digital banks and share lessons that may be useful for financial policymakers and market players in banking and fintech. Acknowledgements: The author would like to thank Ryo Sun Jang for her useful inputs for the research, and Suk Geun Lee for his background note "Korea's Internet-Only Banks" (November 2019), prepared for the Seoul Center for Financial Sector Development in the Finance, Competitiveness and Innovation (FCI) Global Practice of the World Bank.
