미국 IT기술정책의 방향과 교훈 = The U.S. IT Policy and Its Lessons for Korea

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This paper analyzes the American government's IT technology development policy and suggests the directions of technological development for Korea to actively overcome changing IT technological environment. It also conducts a comparative study between Korean and American IT technology development policies using the gap analysis and derives some implications that could be applicable to Korea with policy feasibility. This study shows that both extension to related service areas and creation of new services are required through utilizing existing networks and applications. As the platform of Korean IT policy moves from "selection and concentration" to "balance and integration," we need to focus on basic technologies (eg. high-end computing and networking) and applied technologies (eg. software and contents) at the same time in order to accumulate fundamental technological strength as well as to create employment and high value-added service industries.
