This is a good book that goes through how economies develop and the role of State Owned/sponsored Enterprises are helpful in developing a nation's technology competencies. The author uses South Korea as a few of his examples, too.
Thanks for the recommendation! You mention that it uses South Korea, does it talk about Shipbuilding? The United States used to be a global ship building giant, but after Regan unilaterally reduced subsidies, it got completely crushed by state subsidized Japanese, Korean, and now Chinese shipbuilders. It's gotten so bad that it's a real national security risk in terms of industrial capability.
