Convergence is now the trend of knowledge information society. Information technology and knowledge transfer are main sources of convergence. There are many articles which studied outcomes of convergence while there are few articles that try to study the process of convergence. The purpose of this study is to investigate how convergence is dynamically formalized. For the analysis, we used Institutional Analysis and Development(IAD) framework from the point of convergence. IAD framework could synthetically study the origin and the process of convergence. We investigated the case of sillicon valley whether or not dynamics of ICT convergence could be explicable by IAD framework. The results shows that ICT technology and knowledge could be the enabler for the formation of convergence. ICT technology accelerates convergence and knowledge convergence from information converge different technologies and industries. This article provides a theoretical foundation for future research to analyze dynamics of ICT convergence by the IAD framework. For the future work, it is recommended that a study is to be empirically analyzed the dynamics of ICT convergence.

New institutionalism is one of the research perspective, explaining political, economic, social phenomena through institutions. It is seeking more accurate diagnosis and solution of societal problem. What is good media for community? And how it should be operate? These questions are related to design and improvement of media system. Now we need to better approaching method for higher explanatory power about media institutions. From this context, the purpose of this study is exploring application of new institutionalism to media system. The major findings are as follow: At first, the new institutionalistl approaches can be apply the research fields of media policy/law and media organizations. Two, we suggest main research questions and research methods to each of that. This study has implication as more systematic and integrated approach to the research fields of media institution.
