Knowledge city (KC) enables the knowledge economy (KBE) to foster the generation, circulation and use of knowledge. The KBE leads the industrial innovation through the knowledge based technologies, infrastructure and service, with "making more productive use of inputs, and with "creating new value chain and new production path chains. In a KBE, information communication technology (IT/ICT) plays an important role as a tool of creating, sharing and managing knowledge in KC. Therefore this study seeks to identify the knowledge driven production path through ICT as a tool of knowledge sharing and knowledge management by analyzing the structural impact changes of IT/ICT industries on the other industries in Korea from 2000 to 2010. The data for analysis is the input-output table published by the Bank of Korea in 2000 and 2010.The input-output model and structural path analysis have been used for investigating structural impact changes.As a result, the demand and supply structure of IT/ICT industries were technically changed during 2000 and 2010. First, the production of IT/ICT industries steadily and significantly has increased around 227 percent (176 trillion 399 trillion) between 2000 and 2010. Second, according to input-output coefficient, the demand of IT/ICT industries in 2000 has increased than 2010's (in agriculture industries: 0.0008, manufacture industries: 0.0005, construction industries: 0.0016, IT/ICT industries: 0.0032, services industries: 0.0041). Third, multiplier analysis showed that IT/ICT industries had a great influence on other industries (in agriculture industries: 0.0472, manufacture industries: 0.3549, construction industries: 0.0155, IT/ICT industries: 0.0156, services industries: 0.1398). While the input-output multiplier of manufacture industries increased the most, but construction increased by the least. Forth, four production paths newly occurred in the backward linkage production path of IT/ICT industries and three production paths were freshly added in the forward linkage production path of IT/ICT industries. The global effect has increased by 0.557 and 0.079 in terms of IT/ICT industries backward and forward linkage production path respectively.
