Abstract

Convergence is a term which often used to explain the change of current society, but the meaning of the convergence differs according to the context. This paper defines convergence based on other research and analyzes 40 articles about convergence in the ICT area. Each paper was gathered from journals and databases in August of 2010 and was analyzed through a qualitative meta-analysis method based on the PEST concept. The result of the meta-analysis can be used to understand the current trends in convergence in ICT environments and to develop a future convergence strategy.
