- Abstract
- Software has become a core component of the information and communication technology (ICT) industry. While South Korea makes active software promotion efforts, the performances and outcomes of such attempts have not been remarkable. Applying a socio-technical system framework, in this study we address fundamental problems of the software industry and successive software policies that have been implemented in Korea. Based on in-depth analysis, we suggest implications for more effective and productive software policy. With the aim of spurring a strong shift in the software industry, culture, and society towards a central role for building the ICT ecosystem, we provide suggestions regarding the concept of a social platform, the importance of core technology, and key properties. Other countries can use this study as a reference as they promote their own software industries. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
