| Abstract | The purpose of this study is to apply the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP)
to technological choice particularly in the Korean Machinery Industry.
A model is developed which considers the evaluation of various combined
factors depending on the level. National-goal-oriented factors such as import
substitution, export, employment, productivity, technology self-reliance and untapped
growth potentials are influenced by sectoral development. On the other hand,
factors such as technology and marl<et need, adaptability, linkage effect, technology
acquisition and technology leadership are evaluated for the technological choice
priorities.
Data were collected from 39 experts coming from both Korean public and private
sectors through a structured questionnaire via individual interviews supplemented
by group discussion. Arithmetic mean (average) method is employed to make a
consensus from group opinions on the importance ratio of criteria and factors.
The findings are presented including both the relative importance (weight)
and ranlcing of each alternative, considering both public and private sectors. Both
groups indicate that the machine tools industry is the most important sector in
the sector development model, while in the choice of technological model, design
and engineering technology ls the most important. The sensitivity analysis examines
about criteria and various consensus methods.
It is shown that the analysis can provided useful guidelines for industrial
policy planning in developing countries. |
