program that promotes idea creation and consolidates collaborative
relationship with innovative partners. In addition, CRP is a value-based
process that attaches great importance to creativity and value of

| Structure and Components
of CRP |
The framework of CRP is composed of CRP Vision, Major
R&D Field, and Sub Programs based on SK Telecom's internal resources
and its strategic partner's competency. Through the CRP Vision, SK
Telecom and its strategic partners share the common goal and direction
for the R&D activities. The Major R&D Fields embody the objectives
and direction of its R&D efforts and eventually create synergy
and value for the CRP Vision.
The partner's proposed creative ideas or technologies are valuated
under the Exploring program and passed through the Co-Developing program
and Test-Bed program, where they are jointly developed and tested
for commercialization. If long-term engagement and close alliance
are necessary, partnerships are strengthened through the Investing
program. |
