Within about one generation, Korea transformed itself from an aid-recipient basket-case to a donor country with fast-paced, sustained economic growth. What makes Korea’s experience even more remarkable is that the fruits of Korea’s rapid growth were relatively widely shared. In 2004, the Korean Ministry of Strategy and Finance (MOSF) and the Korea Development Institute (KDI) launched the Knowledge Sharing Program (KSP) to assist partner countries in the developing world by sharing Korea’s development experience. To provide a rigorous foundation for the knowledge exchange engagements, the KDI School has accumulated case studies through the KSP Modularization Program since 2010. During the first four years, the Modularization Program has amassed 119 case studies, carefully documenting noteworthy innovations in policy and implementation in a wide range of areas including economic policy, admistration·ICT, agricultural policy, health and medicine, industrial development, human resources, land development, and environment.Individually, the case studies convey practical knowhow and insights in an easily accessible format; collectively, they illustrate how Korea was able to kick-start and sustain economic growth for shared prosperity. Building on the success during the past four years, we are pleased to present an additional installment of 19 new case studies completed through the 2014 Modularization Program. As an economy develops, new challenges arise. Technological innovations create a wealth of new opportunities and risks. Environmental degradation and climate change pose serious threats to the global economy, especially to the citizens of the countries most vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. The new case studies continue the tradition in the Modularization Program by illustrating how different agents in the Korean society including the government, the corporations, and the civil society organizations, worked together to find creative solutions to challenges to shared prosperity. The efforts delineated include overcoming barriers between government agencies; taking advantage of new opportunities opened up through ICT; government investment in infrastructure; creative collaboration between the government and civil society; and painstaking efforts to optimize management of public programs and their operation. A notable innovation this year is the development of two “teaching cases”, optimized for interactive classroom use: Localizing E-Government in Korea and Korea’s Volume-based Waste Fee System. I would like to express my gratitude to all those involved in the project this year. First and foremost, I would like to thank the Ministry of Strategy and Finance for the continued support for the Modularization Program. Heartfelt appreciation is due to the contributing researchers and their institutions for their dedication in research, to the former public officials and senior practitioners for their keen insight and wisdom they so graciously shared as advisors and reviewers, and also to the KSP Executive Committee for their expert oversight over the program. Last but not least, I am thankful to each and every member of the Development Research Team for the sincere efforts to bring the research to successful fruition, and to Professor Taejong Kim for his stewardship.

  • Disruptive Innovation and Internationalization Strategies: the Case of the Videogame Industry Par Shoma Patnaik
    HEC MONTRÉAL Disruptive Innovation and Internationalization Strategies: The Case of the Videogame Industry par Shoma Patnaik Sciences de la gestion (Option International Business) Mémoire présenté en vue de l’obtention du grade de maîtrise ès sciences en gestion (M. Sc.) Décembre 2017 © Shoma Patnaik, 2017 Résumé Ce mémoire a pour objectif une analyse des deux tendances très pertinentes dans le milieu du commerce d'aujourd'hui – l'innovation de rupture et l'internationalisation. L'innovation de rupture (en anglais, « disruptive innovation ») est particulièrement devenue un mot à la mode. Cependant, cela n'est pas assez étudié dans la recherche académique, surtout dans le contexte des affaires internationales. De plus, la théorie de l'innovation de rupture est fréquemment incomprise et mal-appliquée. Ce mémoire vise donc à combler ces lacunes, non seulement en examinant en détail la théorie de l'innovation de rupture, ses antécédents théoriques et ses liens avec l'internationalisation, mais en outre, en situant l'étude dans l'industrie des jeux vidéo, il découvre de nouvelles tendances industrielles et pratiques en examinant le mouvement ascendant des jeux mobiles et jeux en lignes. Le mémoire commence par un dessein des liens entre l'innovation de rupture et l'internationalisation, sur le fondement que la recherche de nouveaux débouchés est un élément critique dans la théorie de l'innovation de rupture. En formulant des propositions tirées de la littérature académique, je postule que les entreprises « disruptives » auront une vitesse d'internationalisation plus élevée que celle des entreprises traditionnelles. De plus, elles auront plus de facilité à franchir l'obstacle de la distance entre des marchés et pénétreront dans des domaines inconnus et inexploités.

Law School Student Scholarship. 51. https://scholarship.shu.edu/student_scholarship/51 A NEW (VIRTUAL) WORLD ORDER: A LOOK AT CRIMINAL ACTIVITY IN ONLINE COMMUNITIES a1 J. Matthew Johnson INTRODUCTION The German author, physician, and Zionist Max Nordau described the role of crime in civilization in the following manner: “[c]ivilization is built on a number of ultimate principles…respect for human life, the punishment of crimes against property and persons, the equality of all good citizens before the law…in a word justice.”1 Criminal activity has been a part of society since the beginning of time. One of the first documented crimes occurred in the 2 Biblical story of Adam and Eve’s children, the murder of Abel by his jealous brother Cain. Throughout history, criminals have always embraced new technology and methods. As the founder of Craigslist, Craig Newmark, once said, “[c]rooks are early adopters.”3 Be it weapons, modes of transportation, or methods of passing information, criminals flock to new technology as a way to stay one step ahead of those who pursue them. And each time those who commit crimes have embraced new technologies, society and the law have struggled to come to grips 4 with them and adapt to them.

PLAYING FOR RESISTANCE IN MMORPG: OPPOSITIONAL READING, EMERGENCE, AND HEGEMONY IN THE LINEAGE II ―BARTZ LIBERATION WAR‖ by YOON SANG CHO Under the Direction of Ted Friedman ABSTRACT Massively multiplayer online role playing games (MMORPG) open new worlds and new societies in the virtual space. Those worlds and societies rapidly expand and become important to the real world. Therefore, to understand them, this thesis examines the meanings and impacts of resistance in the MMORPG worlds and gaming culture from the case of an unprecedented grassroots revolution in Lineage II, which is called the ―Bartz Liberation War.‖ By using the concepts of ―oppositional reading,‖ ―emergence,‖ and ―hegemony,‖ this thesis examines how playing for resistance emerges and becomes dominant and explores the impact of resistance in both the gaming and real worlds. Also, this thesis shows the cultural struggle for hegemony in the game world and gaming culture as well as in the real world culture and politics.

  • Darkmaverick-Nexustk-Nmails
    This file came from my blog at http://careymartell.com/ Most people will not find this file to be interesting at all. This is a dump of all the letters I received inside a MMORPG called Nexus: The Kingdom of the Winds that I played extensively when I was younger. I tended to back-up my "nmail" box into a Word document, so that I would never forget the second life I lived in that virtual world. I am making the back-up public now for a couple reasons. 1. I think, if you follow from the bottom of this article (the posts from 2003) to the top (2009), you can get a real sense of some events that took place that were important to me, personally, in my life. 2. It may interesting to any sociologists studying videogames. 3. It may be interesting to other Nexus players. Some of the letters are from influential players, and some are from players who were very beloved and are no longer with us. My character in NexusTK was DarkMaverick. I'm a somewhat famous (perhaps even infamous depending on your perspective) player who was involved in a lot of things in the game, especially concerning the Chongun subpath. None of the posts are dated; it's impossible for me to have known the exact dates of these posts, as Nexus in-game mailing system didn't store dates. It simply stored the newest posts at the top and the oldest at the bottom. The oldest posts start in 2003. The last are from 2009.
