  11. 2-1. Evaluation of the World Korea’s accomplishment in IT became the bench marking target of the world IT Powerhouse, the Korean Special Report : Oh! Surprising IT Korea, Mobile Internet Era, Koreans are connected Anytime, Anywhere. (BBC, ’06 May) South Korea, the world’s most wired country, is rushing to turn what sounds like science fiction into everyday life. (New York Times, ’06 Apr.) Korea would have the most influence in the future digital world. (Fortune, ’04 Sep.) The development of IT in Korea is a miracle. There is nothing to recommend. (ITU, ’04 Apr.)

  12. 2-2. Key Success Factors National Consensus on IT Development Korea’s IT today is the result of combined efforts of private and public sectors Public Sector Private Sector - Establishment of MIC and IT Promotion Fund - Sharing Vision w/ People - Strategic Investment in IT R&D and HRD - Deregulation and Market Liberalization - Heavy and Timely Investment in Strategic Areas - Building up Tech. Competency - Market Diversification and Globalization Digital Minded People & Quality Labor Force
