A new classification scheme for computer and communication technology

정보통신기술의 새로운 분류체계

Systemetic classification of a technology is critical to the development of technology strategy. This paper suggests a new technology classification scheme for computer and communication : a two-level scheme. Technology is first classified by its role and function in the upper level which forms a 2 * 2 matrix. The technology is then further classified into the lower level of 3 classes by associations among technology elements. Thus, a new classification scheme of 2 * 2 * 3 matrix is proposed for the computer and communication technology.
