Abstract
Purpose: the main purpose of this article is to explore the specific characteristics of the innovation development of South Korea. To achieve this goal the following tasks must be solved in the article: research the main principles and steps in the development of South Korea; identify and analyze the successful factors of the South Korean «economic miracle» that will continue contributing to the development and growth of the country; describe the cultural and organizational factors limiting the speed of transformation of South Korea under the fourth industrial revolution.Methods: the main methods of the research are system, structural and qualitative analyses. For the study, statistical data and articles in Russian and foreign scientific and analytical publications were used. The article is contributed with the empirical findings from the case study conducted during direct involvement of the authors in one of the industrial companies of South Korea.Results: an in-depth analyses of the transformation periods during the innovation development of South Korea was carried out, which made it possible to formulate the conclusion about existing barriers originated in the organisational approaches used to achieve the former industrial success. The problems constraining the new paradigm shift are analyzed.Conclusions and Relevance: the materials stated in the article show that in modern conditions, transition of South Korea towards Industry 4.0 is constrained by several unique factors, that used to be the key success elements in the former stages of the innovation development of the country. The research conducted in this article represents the value to the activities of various organizations interested in the innovation development, especially for development of innovation policies from the aspect of the importance of oranisational and cultural behavior at a national level. Practical application of the suggested conclusions allows hierarchical and monocultural organisations to transition to the Industry 4.0 with the consideration of important economic and social dynamics.

Summary
После разделения единого Корейского государства на две независимые страны с противоположными идеологиями Южная Корея оказалась практически без собственных природных ресурсов, причем в состоянии экономической нестабильности [8, 9]. Во время юбилейной XV конференции, посвященной 4-й промышленной революции, состоявшейся в 2017 году в Южной Корее, ее организаторы и участники аргументированно доказали, что выдающиеся экономические успехи страны во многом достигнуты благодаря воплощению в жизнь концепции «Тройной спирали» [16], в основе которой лежит тезис о тесном взаимодействии науки (университетов), государственного управления и бизнеса. В связи с исторически сложившейся необходимостью следовать стратегии «последователя» государство выстроило систему взаимодействия науки и индустрии таким образом, чтобы достичь высоких результатов в сжатые сроки. По 90-е годы [20, 21]) государство формировало политику стимулирования фундаментальных научных исследований и разработок таким образом, чтобы максимизировать синергию науки и бизнеса: университеты, научно-исследовательские центры и вся система образования в целом были сфокусированы на решении четко поставленных задач и подготовке специалистов, нужных для чеболей [22]. Нужно усилить роль организационной гибкости научно-технических структур и повысить мотивацию для возобновления научно-исследовательского партнерства университетов и компаний
