南朝鲜和台湾制造业正由劳动密集型向着知识技术密集型发展。尽管它们现在已有了相当成熟的制造业和标准化的产品,但为了适应迅速变化的国际市场,仍能冒巨大的风险去开发更高质量的产品。一般地说,60年代台湾要比南朝鲜更为发达。如果按照经济阶段顺序发展的话,台湾会先于南朝鲜步入高技术生产,即知识和技术密集型生产。事实上,在许多经济领域南朝鲜却已超过了台湾。电子工业在这两个地区的发展战略中占有重要的地位。从整体上看,南朝鲜电子业已走到台湾前头。 Manufacturing in South Korea and Taiwan is moving from labor-intensive to knowledge-intensive technology. Although they now have well-established manufacturing and standardized products, there is still a huge risk of developing higher quality products to adapt to rapidly changing international markets. Generally, Taiwan was more developed than South Korea in the 1960s. If developed according to the order of economic stage, Taiwan will first move into high-tech production in southern Korea, namely, knowledge-based and technology-intensive production. In fact, South Korea has surpassed Taiwan in many economic fields. The electronics industry plays an important role in the development strategy of these two regions. On the whole, South Korea’s electronics industry has come to the front of Taiwan.
