Trade ReviewSmartland Korea is an empirically rich study that is multi-perspectival in incorporating industry and technology studies, policy analysis, audience/user research, and case studies. As the Korean case is under-explored in the English-language communication and media studies literature relative to its global significance, this is an important contribution to the overall literature in the field."" - Terry Flew, Queensland University of Technology
