Abstract
The analysis presented in Chaps. 6 and 7 provide an appealing perspective of the relationships between the energy demand and other input factors of production, especially the ICT capital investment, as well as between the energy demand and some industries’ characteristics. It also provides a general comparison between these relationships through analyzing the productivity growth of the South Korean industrial sectors. This chapter will provide insights into the implications of all the factors affecting these relationships. It also provides an in-depth discussion of the results, along with a discussion of the limitations of this study and suggestions for future research. Recommendations for decision makers will be made, along with their support and justification that have emerged based on the findings.
