Linkage Effects

This study examined the relationship among carbon dioxide emissions and linkage effects using Input–Output (IO) data of the information and communications technology (ICT) industry between South Korea and the USA. As we wanted to find out if the ICT industry, which the world is passionate about, is a sustainable industry. The linkage effects are analyzed to determine the impact of ICT industry on the national economy, and CO₂ emissions of the industry are analyzed to determine how much influence it has on air pollution. In addition, we classify ICT industry by ICT service and manufacturing industries as the key industries in Korea and the US. Data were collected from OECD ranging from 2006 to 2015 in order to quantitatively estimate backward linkage, forward linkage effect, and carbon dioxide emissions. The results indicated that ICT manufacturing industry in Korea has high backward and forward linkage effects. CO₂ emissions from ICT service is more than from ICT manufacturing in both Korea and the US. We wanted to find out if the ICT industry, which the world is passionate about, is a sustainable industry. As a contribution, ICT manufacturing and service industries in Korea and the United States are directly compared, and CO₂ emissions over 10 years are analyzed in a time series.

Gynecological Infections

Modern information and communications technology has provided medical students and practitioners around the world with a new, valuable, and easy-to-use way to retrieve potentially useful information. Using previously described by our research group methodology, we generated a list of 50 Internet resources in the field of obstetrical and gynecological infections. We believe that the availability of such a list will help in the education of students and clinicians interested in obstetrical and gynecological infections.

Trade In Value Added

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to extricate value-added exports in information and communications technology (ICT) industry earned by Taiwan and Korea. Additionally, the authors decompose Taiwan and Korea’s gross exports into various meaningful components. Design/methodology/approach – The authors use the inter-country input-output (ICIO) table which endows with cost structures of industries as well as trade information, facilitating in keeping track of the flow of products and value-added. The ICIO table used in this paper comes from the World Input-Output Database. The authors also use the way Wang et al. (2013) decomposed the intermediate goods exports into various components to provide further insights. Findings – The empirical results indicate that Taiwan and Korea’s ICT export to the world shrink by 47.8 and 40.9 percent when the trades are measured in value-added terms. Taiwan and Korea’s ICT export will also decrease by 75.1 and 57.8 percent. From the viewpoint of value added in trade, the share of value added embodied in Taiwan and Korea’s gross ICT exports continued to decrease and reached 24.9 and 42.2 percent in 2011, while the components of pure double counted terms kept growing in recent years. Originality/value – With global value chains flourishing in recent years, conventional trade statistics not only fails to highlight the vertical specialization among different countries, but also distorts the measurement of a country’s competitiveness. This paper extricates value-added exports in ICT industry earned by Taiwan and Korea and bring into focus the importance of trade in value added.

Ict Industry

The Information and Communications Technology (ICT) industry is now reaching saturation point in terms of growth, and constantly increasing demand for services can no longer be taken for granted. Customers have lot of options, and firms have to compete for business ever more intensely. In order to provide evidence of best practices in such environments, this paper reports a case study on customer-driven business model innovation. The resulting four-phase process framework is based on findings from a Pan-Nordic ICT service provider's recently implemented R&D project. On the theoretical level, the framework builds on the value-network and resource-based approaches, whereas in practice it may be useful to firms intending to innovate and redesign their business model in an attempt to provide superior customer value.

ResumenEn el desarrollo del presente texto se muestra una reflexión sobre la in-fluencia que ejercen los espacios y la cultura Maker en la educación. En este sen-tido, la educación se convierte en el vínculo de transmisión de culturas y la escuela se presenta como un lugar privilegiado para el desarrollo de aprendizajes y rela-ciones en espacios de gran diversidad que den respuesta a las demandas sociales. Las nuevas generaciones se forman en un contexto educativo que da mucha im-portancia a las Tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación, las cuales trans-miten nuevos valores de colaboración y respeto, a través del diseño de nuevos espacios de aprendizaje e intercambio de experiencias. En este sentido, la escuela puede servir para compensar desigualdades y adquirir nuevos conocimientos com-partidos con personas de todo el mundo, favoreciendo entornos de interacción entre los diferentes sistemas sociales, culturales y educativos.AbstractIn the development of this text reflects on the influence spaces and Maker culture in education. In this sense, education becomes the transmission link cul-tures and the school is presented as a privileged place for the development of learning and relationships in areas of great diversity that respond to social de-mands. The new generations are formed in an educational context that gives great importance to information and communications technology, which transmit new values of cooperation and respect, through the design of new spaces for learning and sharing of experiences. In this sense, the school can serve to offset inequali-ties and acquire new shares with people around the world, promoting environments interaction between different social, cultural and education systems.
