다양한 중소기업 ICT 지원 사업들은 우리나라 산업전반의 체질 강화와 국가경쟁력 향상을 위해 매우 큰 의의와 성과를 보여 왔다. 그러나 중소기업간 및 지역 간 ICT 격차는 여전히 해소되지 못하고 있으며, ICT를 통한 양적성과에 비하여 내실화, 체질 개선, 경쟁력 강화 등의 질적 효과 또한 뚜렷한 성과를 나타내지 못하고 있는 실정이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 중소기업 ICT 지원 사업에 대한 문제점과 요구사항을 수요자 측면의 정성적 조사연구(Qualitative Study)를 통해 중소기업의 ICT 전략의 방향과 목표를 설정하고, 새로운 중소기업 ICT 정책수립을 위한 기초자료를 구축하고자 한다.

The early studies on the cultural industries had mainly emphasized the viewpoint of "efficiency" based on the "flexible specialization" theory, but they have gradually shed light on the viewpoint of "creativity": creative human resources and various networks generating creative energies. Despite the importance of these studies, it is impossible to explain every cultural industrial agglomeration phenomena from specific and few viewpoints due to the diversity of each cultural industry. This study describes the dissimilarity of agglomeration factors between the Japanese animation and home video game industries which form salient agglomeration in the same region. Both industries share similar characteristics with industrial agglomeration of SMEs in Tokyo and close inter-firm relationships. However, they differ in their historical development paths and each firm's behavior and strategy because of their own distribution systems and production processes. In particular, the difference in distribution systems clearly affects whether a company values "efficiency" factors of agglomeration advantage or "creativity" factors of that in case of locational choice. The distribution sector of the cultural industry, compared with the production sector, has a tendency to value profitability rather than creation itself. Therefore, a cultural industry with the strong distribution sector tends to form the industrial system emphasizing profitability. The Japanese animation firm is apt to choose its location from the perspective of efficiency, which easily contributes to profitability, because television broadcasting stations are strong distribution sector. Conversely, the Japanese game firm chooses its location from the perspective of creativity due to the absence of strong distribution sector.
