Information Technology Issues in South Korea

Abstract

The central theme that arises from the study of information technology/information systems (IT/IS) industries in South Korea is that IT/IS service companies have strategically placed a greater emphasis on domestic markets and the clients engaged in their conglomerates. Hence, they have considered reliable support and business continuance as key organizational issues. In addition, these firms have acutely reacted to the current social issues pertaining to IT/IS in South Korea. These are reflected in the fact that mobile apps, security and privacy, and networks are highly ranked among the organizational and technological issues. Employees in the IT/IS service industry sectors are generally satisfied with their current jobs, although they experience some levels of work pressure and burnout.
