BackgroundThis study identifies the key motivational factors in enhancing economic performance and increasing new job opportunities for information and communication technology ventures (ICTVs) in South Korea and examines their potential causal relationships through structural equation modeling analysis on data collected from over 200 ICTVs located in Daedeok Innopolis.ResultsThe results indicate that the economic performance of ICTVs is determined mainly by government support, innovation effort, and private equity and support. Government support and innovation effort are also positively associated with new job opportunities.ConclusionsThe theoretical, industrial implications of the key findings, and recommendations for the Korean government are discussed.

“…• Cultivate the ecosystem in which creativity is rewarded fairly and starting a new company is easy. As a result, Korean education has aimed to foster creativity in students, especially in gifted students in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields (Jung & Mah, 2014; The Korea Foundation for the Advancement of Science & Creativity [KOFAC], 2018). For example, Korean education has created STEMspecialised high schools for gifted students and invention gifted education programmes (Choi, 2014;Lee, 2016).…”

In this chapter, the authors present scholarly yet practical comparisons of the perspectives of creativity in several Asian countries and territories from the viewpoints of scholars from those areas: China, Hong Kong/Macau, Japan, Malaysia and South Korea. The scholars considered each place's views of creativity in responding to the following questions: (a) "What is creativity and/or the public's perception of creativity?" (b) "In which field is creativity valued?" (c) "What do people see as characteristics of creative people?" and (d) "What is the place for creativity in education?" which includes the subquestions: What assessments are used to measure creativity? Is there any official government agency that promotes creativity? What methods are used to encourage creativity? These conceptualisations were balanced by understanding current research and literature on creativity, assessing commonalities, and differences in the views and drawing upon cultural influences on those views.

This study examines factors affecting the performance of basic research in South Korea. Creative Research Program (CRP), which is one of the major basic research programmes, is a study target. The survey of N = 120 researchers from universities and research institutes was conducted in 2010. Basic research performance which is the dependent variable was measured by subjective survey questions. The data were analysed using factor analysis and multiple regression. The result shows that leadership is the most important factor affecting the basic research performance based on the regression coefficient (β). Knowledge sharing, autonomy, collaboration and creativity in sequence were also statistically valuable factors that impact on the performance of basic research in South Korea.
