Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recently, the semiconductor industry in Korea has been gaining global attention. In the past, it was difficult for Korea to start semiconductor businesses, which was almost barren. Up until 40 years ago, almost all conditions, including the necessary manpower, experience and industrial ecosystem as well as technology, to do a semiconductor business were at their worst. Nevertheless, as a result of many people\'s bloody efforts, Korea has now emerged as one of the top powerhouses in memory semiconductors. It\'s really amazing and I can say it\'s almost a miracle. I think this is a good example not only for many countries, but also for many companies, and this is the reason why many people are interested in learning the success stories of Korean semiconductor industry. However, Korea is still not the best power in the semiconductor industry. This is because the market for system semiconductors is about twice as large as that of memory semiconductors, and Korea is still very weak in this sector. The memory semiconductor sector was able to grow significantly thanks to bold investments and bleeding efforts by large companies, but many companies have been negligent in the system semiconductor sector due to various reasons. Moreover, with various support from the Chinese government, Chinese semiconductor companies are not only growing brilliantly, but also pose a great threat to Korean semiconductor companies. This is because China is growing rapidly in the system semiconductor field and they are gradually speeding up their pursuit in the memory semiconductor field. What\'s fortunate is that Korea has recently been gradually continuing the growth in the system semiconductor sector. Of course, there is still a long way to go, but if we can concentrate on our efforts just like the memory semiconductor field, I believe that the system semiconductor sector will have a bright future. We are now facing a turbulent era called the 4th Industrial Revolution. Therefore, much of our lives are expected to be very different from what we have been doing. And as the 4th industrial revolution progresses slowly, the demand for semiconductors is gradually growing. For example, new markets are opening up little by little such as AI (Artificial Intelligence), IoT (Internet of Things), Autonomous car, and Smart industry. Therefore, it can be said that the outlook for the semiconductor industry is brighter than ever. Furthermore, it is hard to expect the development of the 4th industry without the continuous development of semiconductor technology. As such, semiconductor technology can be said to be an essential driving force to lead 4th industry. Korean economy is now heavily dependent on the semiconductor industry. Since the semiconductor industry accounts for about 20% of the Korean economy, Korean economy is difficult without the growth of the semiconductor industry. Therefore, the government has recently set up various support policies to foster the semiconductor industry. The main characteristic of the semiconductor market these days is that capital is gradually playing an important role in the growth of companies. This is because it creates competitiveness in the market depending on how much capital can be invested in scaling technology ahead of other companies. But the problem is that the cost of investment in scaling technology is increasing astronomically. As a result, companies with capital will invest more capital in scaling technology to gain a market leadership as well as competitiveness, while companies with no capital will be forced to flee the market further. In addition, it tends to increase in the number of companies that is acquired, or go bankrupt by other companies with capital. Meanwhile, most of the existing semiconductor related books focused on technology. I think that it has resulted in people staying away from the semiconductor industry. In fact, for ordinary people who know little about semiconductors, semiconductor technology has many parts that are difficult to understand from the terminology itself. Therefore, this book tried to explain the contents as easy as possible by excluding technical fields, so that even ordinary people could easily understand the industry. Of course, technology is an important part of the semiconductor industry because technology development is leading the industry, but a business is also a factor that cannot be ignored. No matter how good the technology is, the semiconductor industry cannot be maintained unless the transaction is made as a business. Therefore, this book tried not to focus on technology, but to look at the semiconductor market thoroughly from a business perspective. For reference, I worked for a semiconductor related company for about 10 years in the past and received a doctorate in a semiconductor business. I also published 20 papers on a semiconductor business. In this process, I was able to gain deep knowledge about a semiconductor business. However, I wrote the book with the thought that publishing a book would give more people a chance to read because there was a limit as a paper. Therefore, the contents of the book were organized based on the business status of major semiconductor companies and the overall situation of the semiconductor industry. I hope that it will help employees in the semiconductor field, students studying in the semiconductor field, and people interested in the semiconductor field understand the semiconductor business. Finally, in the appendix, 2 interviews were conducted. I think readers will be able to feel the vivid voices of the site in the semiconductor business because it was conducted targeting people who are working in the field of the semiconductor industry.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: World-renowned economist Klaus Schwab, Founder and Executive Chairman of the World Economic Forum, explains that we have an opportunity to shape the fourth industrial revolution, which will fundamentally alter how we live and work. Schwab argues that this revolution is different in scale, scope and complexity from any that have come before. Characterized by a range of new technologies that are fusing the physical, digital and biological worlds, the developments are affecting all disciplines, economies, industries and governments, and even challenging ideas about what it means to be human. Artificial intelligence is already all around us, from supercomputers, drones and virtual assistants to 3D printing, DNA sequencing, smart thermostats, wearable sensors and microchips smaller than a grain of sand. But this is just the beginning: nanomaterials 200 times stronger than steel and a million times thinner than a strand of hair and the first transplant of a 3D printed liver are already in development. Imagine “smart factories” in which global systems of manufacturing are coordinated virtually, or implantable mobile phones made of biosynthetic materials. The fourth industrial revolution, says Schwab, is more significant, and its ramifications more profound, than in any prior period of human history. He outlines the key technologies driving this revolution and discusses the major impacts expected on government, business, civil society and individuals. Schwab also offers bold ideas on how to harness these changes and shape a better future—one in which technology empowers people rather than replaces them; progress serves society rather than disrupts it; and in which innovators respect moral and ethical boundaries rather than cross them. We all have the opportunity to contribute to developing new frameworks that advance progress.

This book was released on 2020-06-20 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This peer-reviewed book explores the technologies driving broadband internet connectivity in the fourth industrial revolution (Industry 4.0). It particularly focuses on potential solutions to introduce these technologies in emerging markets and rural areas, regions that typically form part of the digital divide and often have under-developed telecommunications infrastructures, a lack of skilled workers, and geographical restrictions that limit broadband connectivity. Research shows that ubiquitous internet access boosts socio-economic growth through innovations in science and technology, with the common goal of bringing positive change to the lives of individuals. Fifth-generation (5G) networks based on millimeter-wave (mm-wave) frequency information transfer have the potential to provide future-proof, affordable and sustainable broadband connectivity in areas where previous-generation mobile networks were unable to do so. This book discusses the principles of various technologies that enable electronic circuits to operate at mm-wave frequencies. It examines the importance of identifying, describing, and analyzing technology from a purely technological standpoint, but also acknowledges and investigates the challenges and limitations of introducing such technologies in emerging markets. Presenting recent research, the book spearheads participation in Industry 4.0 in these areas.
Download or read book How the Information Revolution Remade Business and the Economy written by Apek Mulay and published by Business Expert Press. This book was released on 2016-12-08 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tremendous technological progress in the last half century has exponentially grown productivity as well as increased automation to reduce the costs of operation for businesses. On one hand, ever-growing productivity has reduced requirements for manual labor through automation. But, on other hand, huge unemployment created from reduction of workforce due to automaÂtion, has reduced the consumer purchasing power and is indirectly hurting the Return on Investments (RoI). This brings any further progress of technology to a standstill. For technology to progress both supply and demand have to grow. The supply comes from producÂtivity of workforce and demand comes from their wages. Hence, free markets must ensure that wages automatically catch up with ever-growing productivity, with minimal government inÂtervention. To avoid automation from destroying jobs in an economy, free markets should ensure that working hours of workforce be reduced during the waning phase of economy and increased during its waxing phase.

Download or read book Breakthrough written by Martin Fleming and published by Business Expert Press. This book was released on 2022-10-10 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the economic logic of the significant variation in growth over long periods. What’s necessary for the U.S. and other developed nations to realize stronger growth and more equal incomes? What’s necessary for families to feel vacations, college educations, and retirements are possible? Will artificial intelligence (AI) automate or augment workers’ jobs? Will the 2020-2021 global pandemic be sufficiently disruptive to deliver fundamental transformation? Economic success in the decades ahead will depend on the willingness of households, businesses, and governments to innovate and change ways of living and working. To explore these questions, the 4th Industrial Revolution is a unique frame to assess global economic transformation, providing a point-in-time reference for placing current events in the context of sustained, multi-decade periods of faster and slower growth. Political, social, and economic metamorphoses have accompanied each revolution. This book examines the economic logic of the significant variation in growth over long periods. Climate change and the global warming consequences of fossil-fuel technologies will need to bring about a new energy technology and, if successful, result in renewable energy sources, reducing energy expense. The success of the 4th Industrial Revolution is not assured. While the future is uncertain, history suggests success requires that barriers are addressed, workers and businesses engage in the necessary change, and a positive policy response provides the needed leadership. The book proposes a Growth and Fairness Agenda and a New Social Contract through which stronger economic growth and more equally distributed incomes can be possible. Recognize traditional policy actions may be insufficient to achieve stronger long-term growth. Promote improved confidence and a positive outlook among small and medium enterprises. Encourage advances in AI technology while addressing risks and fairness issues. Support deeper worker engagement between business leaders and workers. Seek a new social contract among workers, businesses, and governments.
