A Study on Industry-University Collaboration Schemes for the Improvement of Urban Convergence Contents Industry

Abstract

The cultural contents industry is related to the consumers’ sensibilities. At the turn of the 21^st century, its importance to all industries gradually increased, and each country separated it as cultural technologies and fostered it intensively. The cultural contents industry creates added value in itself, but it can also create value as a new urban industry through convergence and integration in mutual association and exchanges. Thus, the growth potential of the cultural contents industry can be said to be very high.

This research was conducted to examine the current conditions of the cultural contents industry in the Seoul metropolitan area, and to conduct a survey among the related enterprises on the industry-university collaboration program, particularly with regard to their participation in the program, the degree of their satisfaction with it, the demand for it in the industry, and the difficulties they have encountered while participating in the program, and to establish and recommend the effective project performance and direction for the development of the urban convergence contents industry.
