Abstract

We investigated the patterns of the technological diffusions of 17 Korean information and telecommunications (IT) innovations by applying various diffusion models, where the Bass model was chosen the most robust one. Although the internal influence dominates diffusion process for most innovations, the external influence was found to be meaningful to Korean IT diffusion compared with US's. Based on estimated parameters — penetration rate, innovation and imitation coefficients, we conducted cluster analysis, which resulted in four clusters and two isolated innovations. Differences of diffusion patterns between circuit-based and packet-based technology were examined by the external and internal influence as well as the critical mass point. Based on these findings we proposed the several practical implications for ISPs providing packet-based services, Telecommunications carriers with circuit and packet-based services, as well as policy makers.
