Samsung and LG: From Also-Rans to Dominance in Consumer Electronics
In: https://doi.org/10.7916/D8GT5WJG
Today Samsung is the world leader in flat screen TV and cell phone sales. LG is second in TV sales, fifth in cellphones. Samsung fabricated its first LCD screen in 1995, well after such screens already dominated laptop computers, and had shipped its first cell phone only in 1988. LG wasn't even founded until 1958 when it started its development of the first Korean-made radios. By 1982 it shipped its first color TV – made in the USA. In this timeframe, not even twenty years ago, TV shipments were dominated by Japanese consumer manufacturers and cellphones were led by Motorola and Nokia. This paper explores possible sources of the secret to the Koreans' success and finds that the usual metrics – in particular patents, Rand D investment, and low cost labor – don't explain it. We speculate that "industrial policy" measures of the South Korean government may have been decisive.

Challenges for Japanese universities' technology licensing offices: What technology transfer in the United States can tell us
In: https://doi.org/10.7916/D8WQ0BBZ
American universities have been transferring their technology to industry since before World War II. This technology is now developed with the more than $35 Billion the universities receive annually from the Federal government and industry, with the latter providing less than 10% of the total. The universities annually receive in total more than $1 Billion in royalty payments, create hundreds of new start-up companies every year, and are the recipients of more than 3400 US patents. Most of the royalties are paid for biomedical and pharmaceutical ["bio" and "pharma"] research, with these funding companies usually insisting on and obtaining exclusive intellectual property [IP] rights. As a pure business model, this process is somewhat questionable for the universities, but the other benefits obtained by the universities and society more than compensate for the costs. This paper will address US technology transfer from the viewpoint of an industrial "customer" - IBM - and from the viewpoint of my consulting company that represents universities and companies in technology transfer. From this experience we will identify some challenges facing newly "privatized" Japanese universities and propose some suggestions to Japanese Technology Licensing Offices [TLO] for what we believe are "best practices" in technology transfer.
