Abstract :
The goal of this study is to examine the nature of converging technologies by finding the comparative empirical evidence on converging vs. non-converging technologies. This paper presents an operational definition of ICT-based converging technologies before examining the nature of ICT-based converging technologies. And the study follows the International Patent Classification (IPC) system for the classification of technologies.
