  • 국내 ICT 산업은 글로벌 경쟁력을 갖추고 경제발전에 크게 이바지 해왔으며, 현재는 4차산업과 다양한 산업들의 융합의 구심점으로 인식되며 앞으로의 경제 성장 동력으로 주목받고 있다. 이러한 ICT 산업을 국내외에서 다양한 모습으로 인식하고 있다. 그 중, 국내외를 막론하고 ICT 산업에 대해 존재하는 강한 스테레오타입은 ICT는 남성중심(masculine)적인 산업이라는 것이다. 본 연구는 이런 ICT산업의 남성 중심성이 서과에 이떠한 여햐을 주는지 고찰하기 위해서 2015년 중소기업 기술통계조사 결과를 활용하여 ICT 중소기업에서 젠더와 기술적 및 경제적 성과 간 관계를 살펴보았다. 공동연구선호여부나 R&D 지원을 받은 경험이 중소기업의 기술적 및 경제적 성과와 어떤 관계가 있는지 분석하였다. 특히 본 연구는 ICT산업여부와 여성연구원 보유여부가 정책지원과 성과의 관계에 영향을 주는 중요한 요인으로 보고 분석을 수행하였다. 본 연구의 결과에 따르면 ICT기업 중 여성연구원을 고용하고 있는 기업은 그렇지 않은 ICT기업에 비해 높은 기술적 성과를 보이고 있었다. 경제적 성과의 측면에서는 여성연구원을 고용하고 있으며 단독연구를 선호하는 ICT기업이 다른 ICT기업에 비해 높은 신기술개발 매출액을 보였다. 연구의 결과는 ICT 중소기업의 지원정책을 구상하는 정책입안자들과 여성의 ICT산업 고용 및 경제 활동 진흥 정책을 구상하는 정책입안자들에게 다양한 시사점을 제공할 것으로 기대한다.

  • The purpose of this study is to estimate the cost-saving effect of R&D investment in the ICT industry. As is well known, the R&D investment induces both the product innovation and the process innovation, in turn leads the effect of creating profit and cutting cost. However, it appears that studies concerned with the cost-saving effect of R&D investment have been unproductive, while most existing studies concentrate on the topic involved with the creating profit of R&D investment. Therefore, we extend the effect of R&D investment to a framework of the cost-saving focusing on the ICT industry. To empirically analyze the effect, we built a simultaneous three-equation model comprising a translog cost function and two cost share equations, and employed the SUR analysis. As a result, we found out that the cost-saving effect on the total cost is statistically significant. In addition, we examined relationships between the R&D investment and each cost of production elements. The results show that on the one hand, the R&D investment and the intermediate good cost have the substitution relationship. On the other hand, the complementary relationship is observed between the R&D investment and each labor or capital cost.

  • This study is a survey of people who are return to farming on the intention of accepting ICT convergence technology in agriculture. The research targets were 218 people based on convenience and judgment sampling methods, and the exploratory factor analysis and multiple return analysis were performed with SPSS 22.0. As a result, the independent variables such as performance expectation, effort expectation, and social influence had a positive effect on the acceptance intention of ICT convergence technology in agriculture. In addition, the moderating effects of innovation resistance on these influence relationships were also verified. The limitations of this study are the lack of verification of perception changes and the inability to control variables. As a result of this research, the results of the UTAUT in other fields were confirmed in this study. It is hoped that this study will further facilitate the research of agriculture in ICT convergence technology.

  • Silicon Valley's legal foundation in recent years has surfaced on the radar of policy planners who model Silicon Valley's information and communication technologies (ICT) industry. Precisely, the prohibition of covenants not to compete (CNCs) is linked to firm-to-firm knowledge spillovers by way of mobile workers positioned as nodes in a system of innovation. Meanwhile, traditional frameworks support enforcement of CNCs as a way to encourage R&D activities to the worker and to prevent the worker's tacit knowledge and know-how from fleeing. Amidst the battle for the restraint or release of human capital, we present an industrial approach to reconcile the ostensible strife between enforcement and prohibition frameworks. Theoretically, we contend an industrial approach can maximize the policy tools of discorded planners. Moreover, this article newly compares the ICT industries of Silicon Valley and Route 128 to argue that California's law is a unique factor in the greater success of Silicon Valley firms.

Precisely, the prohibition of covenants not to compete is linked to firm to firm knowledge spillovers by way of mobile workers positioned as nodes in a system of innovation.

This article examines the ICT industry in Silicon Valley and Route 128 to argue that California's unique law is a key factor in the success of Silicon Valley firms. Theoretically, we reconcile the ostensible strife between enforcement and prohibition frameworks by presenting an industrial approach. We contend that selective enforcement by industry can maximize the policy tools of discorded planners.

  • The use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) is the key to operate a change from the traditional manual reading of water meters and sensors to an automated system where high frequency data is remotely collected and analyzed in real time, one of the main components of a Smart Water Grid. The recent boom of ICT offers a wide range of both wired and wireless technologies to achieve this objective. We review and present in this article the most widely recognized technologies and protocols along with their respective advantages, drawbacks and applicability range which can be Home Area Network (HAN), Building Area Network (BAN) or Local/Neighborhood Area Network (LAN/NAN). We also present our findings and we give recommendations on the application of ICT in Smart Water Grids and future work needed.

  • While creativity and innovation is the key to drive the creative economy in the South Korea, the development of analysis framework to evaluate the size and performance is limited. The present study suggests a framework and a method to assess economic impact of the creative economy using inter-industry analysis which employs input-output efficiencies populated by the Korean Bank and empirical data from the national informatization survey conducted by the National Information-society Agency(NIA). The results indicated that, as of 2013, despite of economy downturn, the creative innovation based on the information communication technology(ICT) had been significantly led the production, value-added, and employment inducement. The effect is predominant in the creative industry in an broad sense, that is, technology intensive manufacturing industry. Theoretical and policy implications are discussed.

  • In this research, we tried to suggest the guidelines to stakeholder of ICT startup for picking up the excellent startups and nurturing them. We designed the research model focused on the good startup team's knowledge based interaction mechanism. A research model and hypotheses were developed from literature review and empirically validated. The research model consisted relationship among the knowledge sharing (knowledge donation and knowledge collection), absorptive capacity (member's ability and member's motivation), team creativity, and innovation capability. Data were collected from ICT Service Startups, and a partial least squares (PLS) analysis was made on 175 data points. The analysis results showed that absorptive capacity has significant effect on team creativity and innovation capability directly. And also it has indirect effect on the dependent variable through team creativity. On the contrary, knowledge sharing does not have statistically significant effect on team creativity and innovation capability; only have an effect on absorptive capacity. Based on the results, we proposed several team management skills for ICT startup leaders and members, and the guidelines to stakeholder such as government and private investors. Also there are some ideas for startup nurturing polices for government officers. Theoretical contributions are discussed at the end with limitations and further studies.

  • Due to the recent transition to a non-face-to-face society, many organizations are quickly adapting to foster a smart work environment. The introduction of smart work does not simply end with incorporating ICT systems or solutions into business models since fundamental factors such as forms of employment and work styles need to be in line with the progression of technological advances. However, previous studies regarding smart work focus on improvements in productivity and efficiency from a technology acceptance perspective. Therefore, there is a lack of discussion on innovation resistance from employees and management control when ICT systems are introduced into the workplace. This study empirically analyzes the moderating effects of the organizational control method for employees and innovation resistance within a smart work environment. Additionally, this study aims to identify the structural characteristics that employees resist from an innovation resistance perspective when organizational innovation occurs. The empirical analysis of this study suggests that when smart work such as ICT technology is introduced into the workplace the level of innovation resistance decreases when there is a high level of relative advantage and self-efficacy, whereas the level of innovation resistance increases when there is a high level of use complexity. Moreover, this study revealed that the level of innovation resistance increases when the employees' behaviors were controlled. The results of this study intend to contribute to improving business management by suggesting factors worth considering when incorporating smart work into work places through a thorough case analysis.
