1. the Fourth Industrial Revolution
• the Fourth Industrial Revolution, which is expected to
reach a tipping point around 2025,
• will clearly separate the winners from the losers among
countries.
• According to the UBS report presented in the Davos
Forum,
• not only is Korea lagging far behind in the readiness
for the Fourth Industrial Revolution among the ‘four
dragons’ of East Asia,
• but also it is assessed to be ranked at the world’s 42nd
(UBS, 2016).

Disappearing Jobs?
• Within next 10 to 20 years, about 47% of all jobs in the
U.S. are threatened by automation (Frey and Osborne,
2013).
• Number of manufacturing jobs in the U.S. almost halved
from 21 million to 12 million during the past 35 years.
In contrast, the number of smart labors in high-tech sector such
as Internet, Scientific R&D, Pharmaceutical, Software have
increased (Moretti, 2012).

Is Korea lagging behind the Fourth Industrial Revolution
• Shipbuilding, steel, petrochemical industries are unable to
secure competitiveness in the saturated market
• Although Korea still maintain competitiveness in areas of
semiconductors, displays, automobiles, machines, mobile
phones, and home appliances, it is facing market saturation
while countries such as China is rapidly catching up.
Is Korea lagging behind the Fourth Industrial Revolution
• In the new industries such as renewable energy, ICT
convergence, bio-health, advanced new materials, high-end
consumer goods, many Korean companies are showing
potentials.
• However, Korea has yet to secure any competitiveness in
the Fourth Industrial Revolution areas such as AI, SW, Big
Data, and Driverless Car.

2. From Fast-Follower To First Mover
• To achieve continuous creation of high-tech jobs and
growth, a transformation from fast-follower to first-
mover is pivotal.
 Need to take a step further from being good at
making a product developed by others to create entirely
new products, industries or platforms.
 Many companies in Korea are fast-followers with
execution capabilities but are unable to become first-
movers with conceptual design capabilities.
Execution & Conceptual Design Capabilities
• Capacity to interpret a given blue
print and to materialize it physica
lly using resources
• Easy to transfer as they are manu
alized in many cases, and there e
xists learning-by-doing
• Efficiency gains (speed and costs)
through repeats
• When developing countries recei
ve skill educations based on man
uals during the early developmen
t period, they absorb them easily
most of the time.
• With accumulating experience, d
eveloping countries can make eff
iciency improvements themselves
, making it possible to raise their
execution capabilities themselves.
• Capabilities to define a concept
of a product and a service firstly,
to draw a picture in a blank pape
r, and to make originals
• The core of the conceptual desig
n capabilities is the scaling up. It
is the core capability of global ch
ampion companies and is the pre
-requisite of open innovations.
• Because conceptual design capab
ilities have no manual and becau
se they are accumulated in perso
n/organizational culture as creati
ve tacit knowledge, it is impossib
le to transfer
• The only way to build conceptual
design capabilities is through lear
ning-by-building; field + learning
-by-doing and endless challenge
s are pre-requisites of generating
originals

Transformation from Fast Follower to First Mover
• Korea can leap forward as a country leading the Fourth
Industrial Revolution only if it can achieve the transformation
from the fast-follower to the first-mover,
• To this end, first-mover innovation ecosystem is essential.
• Also, Education or Learning needs to change fundamentally.
3. Innovation Ecosystem
• Innovation ecosystem is an evolving system in which
researchers, entrepreneurs, government employees
continuously compete and cooperate from R&D to
industrial innovation
In the fast-follower innovation ecosystem of the past Korea,
companies raised their international competitiveness by relying on
input-driven process and by absorbing skills of developed countries.
However, the first-mover innovation ecosystem requires continuous
creation of new products, platforms, and industries based on high-
risk and high-return research.
Virtuous Cycle

Valley of Death
To sustain the first-mover innovation ecosystem,
• it is important to help start-ups navigate across the
Valley of Death and grow as global companies such as
Google, Facebook, and Uber.
However,
• Korean conglomerates circumvent the Valley of Death
by concentrating their investments in internal research
centers doing applied R&D and by absorbing developed
skills from overseas rather than collaborating with
domestic start-ups and research communities.
Valley of Death
출처: Jackson,
Interactions among technological stages
• In the first-mover innovation ecosystem,
• basic researches continually act the role of platform
until the last stage of innovation rather than staying afar
from applied researches or from the commercialization
stage of companies.
• Many research universities are being transformed
into central hubs of innovation ecosystem with the
promotion of use-inspired research, entrepreneurship
education, and start-up support.
Interacting Technology Stages
출처: PCAST,
Transforming the Role of Government
In the fast-follower innovation ecosystem,
• government led the introduction of developed countries’
technologies through government-funded research
institutes or through public enterprises such as POSCO.
In the first-mover innovation ecosystem,
• government should focus on nurturing the ecosystem
letting companies, universities, and government-funded
research institutes to take charge in cooperating and
innovating based on much greater autonomy and
openness.

4.1. Education for Disappearing Jobs?
• Although Korea has achieved the fastest quantitative
expansion in education, Korean students lose interests in
learning, do not enjoy learning, and are most unhappiest in
the class with long hours of study and private tutoring.
Rapid expansion in higher education has been derived by increases
in enrollment of low-quality universities,
Resulting in salaries of one fourth of 4-year university graduates
that are below the average salaries of high school graduates.
Korean adults’ competencies are very rapidly declining compared to
those in OECD countries.

• Establish a system to develop the capacity of teachers’ new
pedagogies
• Support the expansion of new pedagogies among schools
Top-Down
• Strengthen the accountability system for new pedagogies of
teachers
• Pursue gradual changes with consistency in the college
admissions system
• Pursue bold changes in teacher college system
• Hope can be found in face-to-face talks with teachers that have
revealed teachers’ desire for change
• Korean students and classrooms have access to an immense
amount of digital knowledge and information.
- Such technology can be a powerful partner for assisting the
changes in teaching and assessment methods.

4.5. Inclusive and Innovative University: A Case of U.S. Arizona
State University
• “New American University” Model by Arizona State University
① In contrast to the elite universities that maintain excellence by only selecting
top performing students,
 ASU aims to enhance both student body inclusiveness and quality of
education and be “measured not by those whom we exclude, but rather by
those whom we include and how they succeed.”
② ASU president Michael Crow argues that since the 19th century, institutional
revolution of university has only been incremental, and because universities
have been constrained to the traditional structure, they have not been
producing researches that help community by addressing the changed needs
of society.
 Rather than replicating the traditional university system of Harvard or Berkley,
he asserts that universities should seek unique characters and identities
Project-Based Learning and Academic Industrial Cooperation
at Arizona State University
• The College of Technology and Innovation at Arizona State
University
① All classes are centered around projects in which students solving
problems faced by local companies or community at large
② Over the course of last 10 years, ASU has abolished 69 academic units
and created 30 new interdisciplinary units
• Partnership between Arizona State University and Starbucks
① Tuition rebate if Starbucks employee register for ASU online courses
② As of 2015, 1,500 low-income Starbucks employee registered
Transdisciplinary Research Enterprise of Arizona State
University
• Traditional departments and colleges were disbanded to create
interdisciplinary units that tackle social and future problems
such as water shortage and exploration of the Solar System
• Departments of Geology and Astronomy were combined to create
the School of Earth and Space Exploration, which aims to pull
together expertise in engineering, computation, and Earth and
space science
• Furthermore, with the creation of various other interdisciplinary
departments such as the School of Human Evolution and Social
Change, many traditional departments including biology,
sociology, anthropology, and geology were eliminated
Use of Education Technology at Arizona State University
• Adaptive Learning
① Computerized courseware provides adaptive feedback to what each
student is doing
② Computer suggests educational pathways based on performance of each
student
③ Professors adjust courseware based on their experience with students
 Online classes that utilize adoptive learning provide conceptual learning
while hands-on learning such as laboratory experiments are taught in
small groups
 Started with mathematics, it is now expand to include physics, biology,
and chemistry
 Dropout/failure/withdrawal rate of adaptive learning is at 6% in contrast
to the 20% of traditional lecture model
Use of Education Technology at Arizona State University
• eAdvisor
① It facilitates matching between interests of students and related-majors
by providing computerized database
② Also provides advices on most optimal choice of courses and schedules
③ For example, if a student receives a low grade on a major course,
eAdvisor suggests seeking academic support from tutors or transferring
to another major
④ It provides most optimal and appropriate pathways for students to
acquire their majors because all course related information is kept up-to-
date on a database
 Since eAdvisor operate in real-time to update student information
constantly, if students are in academic trouble at any time, the system
suggests more appropriate courses based on accumulation of prior
experiences with similar students such that they can successfully receive
their degree; moreover, it flags advisors to provide assistance when it is
necessary.
Use of Education Technology at Arizona State University
• Global Freshman Academy
① Partnership between edX and MOOC(Massive Open Online Course)
to launch of Global Freshman Academy
② Courses are free to attend, but to receive credits, students must pay
$45 for identity verification process and $200 per credit
③ Students can save as much as $4,000 per year
 Arizona State University currently provides 10 freshman courses
through edX and is planning to expand the list to 12.

Korea's Transformation to Lead 4th Industrial Revolution

  • 2. Contents 1. 4th Industrial Revolution 2. From Fast-Follower to First-Mover 3. Innovation Ecosystem 4. Learning Revolution
  • 3. 1. the Fourth Industrial Revolution • the Fourth Industrial Revolution, which is expected to reach a tipping point around 2025, • will clearly separate the winners from the losers among countries. • According to the UBS report presented in the Davos Forum, • not only is Korea lagging far behind in the readiness for the Fourth Industrial Revolution among the ‘four dragons’ of East Asia, • but also it is assessed to be ranked at the world’s 42nd (UBS, 2016).

  • 8. Disappearing Jobs? • Within next 10 to 20 years, about 47% of all jobs in the U.S. are threatened by automation (Frey and Osborne, 2013). • Number of manufacturing jobs in the U.S. almost halved from 21 million to 12 million during the past 35 years. In contrast, the number of smart labors in high-tech sector such as Internet, Scientific R&D, Pharmaceutical, Software have increased (Moretti, 2012).

  • 12. Is Korea lagging behind the Fourth Industrial Revolution • Shipbuilding, steel, petrochemical industries are unable to secure competitiveness in the saturated market • Although Korea still maintain competitiveness in areas of semiconductors, displays, automobiles, machines, mobile phones, and home appliances, it is facing market saturation while countries such as China is rapidly catching up.
  • 13. Is Korea lagging behind the Fourth Industrial Revolution • In the new industries such as renewable energy, ICT convergence, bio-health, advanced new materials, high-end consumer goods, many Korean companies are showing potentials. • However, Korea has yet to secure any competitiveness in the Fourth Industrial Revolution areas such as AI, SW, Big Data, and Driverless Car.
  • 14. Portfolio of Korean Industries Source: Yoo (2016)
  • 15. 2. From Fast-Follower To First Mover • To achieve continuous creation of high-tech jobs and growth, a transformation from fast-follower to first- mover is pivotal.  Need to take a step further from being good at making a product developed by others to create entirely new products, industries or platforms.  Many companies in Korea are fast-followers with execution capabilities but are unable to become first- movers with conceptual design capabilities.
  • 16. Execution & Conceptual Design Capabilities • Capacity to interpret a given blue print and to materialize it physica lly using resources • Easy to transfer as they are manu alized in many cases, and there e xists learning-by-doing • Efficiency gains (speed and costs) through repeats • When developing countries recei ve skill educations based on man uals during the early developmen t period, they absorb them easily most of the time. • With accumulating experience, d eveloping countries can make eff iciency improvements themselves , making it possible to raise their execution capabilities themselves. • Capabilities to define a concept of a product and a service firstly, to draw a picture in a blank pape r, and to make originals • The core of the conceptual desig n capabilities is the scaling up. It is the core capability of global ch ampion companies and is the pre -requisite of open innovations. • Because conceptual design capab ilities have no manual and becau se they are accumulated in perso n/organizational culture as creati ve tacit knowledge, it is impossib le to transfer • The only way to build conceptual design capabilities is through lear ning-by-building; field + learning -by-doing and endless challenge s are pre-requisites of generating originals Conceptual Design CapabilitiesExecution Capabilities Source: Lee (2016b)
  • 17. Transformation from Fast Follower to First Mover • Korea can leap forward as a country leading the Fourth Industrial Revolution only if it can achieve the transformation from the fast-follower to the first-mover, • To this end, first-mover innovation ecosystem is essential. • Also, Education or Learning needs to change fundamentally.
  • 18. 3. Innovation Ecosystem • Innovation ecosystem is an evolving system in which researchers, entrepreneurs, government employees continuously compete and cooperate from R&D to industrial innovation In the fast-follower innovation ecosystem of the past Korea, companies raised their international competitiveness by relying on input-driven process and by absorbing skills of developed countries. However, the first-mover innovation ecosystem requires continuous creation of new products, platforms, and industries based on high- risk and high-return research.
  • 20. Valley of Death To sustain the first-mover innovation ecosystem, • it is important to help start-ups navigate across the Valley of Death and grow as global companies such as Google, Facebook, and Uber. However, • Korean conglomerates circumvent the Valley of Death by concentrating their investments in internal research centers doing applied R&D and by absorbing developed skills from overseas rather than collaborating with domestic start-ups and research communities.
  • 22. Interactions among technological stages • In the first-mover innovation ecosystem, • basic researches continually act the role of platform until the last stage of innovation rather than staying afar from applied researches or from the commercialization stage of companies. • Many research universities are being transformed into central hubs of innovation ecosystem with the promotion of use-inspired research, entrepreneurship education, and start-up support.
  • 24. Transforming the Role of Government In the fast-follower innovation ecosystem, • government led the introduction of developed countries’ technologies through government-funded research institutes or through public enterprises such as POSCO. In the first-mover innovation ecosystem, • government should focus on nurturing the ecosystem letting companies, universities, and government-funded research institutes to take charge in cooperating and innovating based on much greater autonomy and openness.

  • 27. 4.1. Education for Disappearing Jobs? • Although Korea has achieved the fastest quantitative expansion in education, Korean students lose interests in learning, do not enjoy learning, and are most unhappiest in the class with long hours of study and private tutoring. Rapid expansion in higher education has been derived by increases in enrollment of low-quality universities, Resulting in salaries of one fourth of 4-year university graduates that are below the average salaries of high school graduates. Korean adults’ competencies are very rapidly declining compared to those in OECD countries.

  3. As I said before, Korean education focuses heavily on cognitive skills, as assessment is mostly made through multiple choice test scores. To overcome this problem, the government implemented the Admissions Officer System, where students were evaluated not only on their test scores, but also on various documents and interviews. As of 2013, 47,600 students, or 13.6% of newly entering college students, were admitted through the Admissions Officer System and the number of Admissions Officers in colleges increased from 42 in 2007 to 618 in 2012. For the special purpose high schools, Admission System for Self-directed Learning was implemented, similar to the Admission Officer System. Social and emotional learning were stressed in classrooms by extending physical education class hours in middle schools, while sports clubs and student orchestras increased. And to ensure more individualized learning, smart education including digital textbooks was implemented. (next slide)
