Abstract

Recently, emerging countries have been paying attention to Korean economic development policy, trying to adopt the Korean regional innovation model. Korea is also interested in exporting its regional innovation model and enhancing economic cooperation with those countries. This paper aims to analyze the capacity-building programs of the Korean regional innovation model for emerging countries and suggests policies for it. For this purpose, the local innovators' participation patterns in the process of collaborative learning/networking/interaction are investigated with a focused group-interview method. From an analysis of the programs supported by Korean organizations, this study finds that the correlation coefficient between the training time of capacity building and the participation rate of local members' collaborative learning is very high (0.975). Since the correlation coefficient between the participation rates of collaborative learning and networking is relatively low (0.667), a policy to link local collaborative learning to networking should be provided. As the correlation coefficient between the participation rates of networking and interaction is high (0.950), networking is a key to regional innovation. This study recommends activity programs to promote networking among local innovators, rather than training and consulting programs. As introduced in the Chungnam Techno Park case, this study suggests that the capacity-building program should include programs to initiate a collaborative learning network, to create a local-demand, regional innovation model, and to operate the regional innovation platform, which should be done by local innovators in the emerging countries.

최근 신흥개발국들은 한국형 경제개발 정책에 관심을 갖고 한국의 지역혁신 모델을 접목하고자 노력하고 있다. 한국도 신흥국의 수요에 맞추어 지역혁신 모델을 수출하고 해당국과 경제협력을 강화하는데 관심이 있다. 본 연구는 신흥국에 대한 한국형 지역혁신모델 전수사업을 분석하고 정책을 제시하고자 한다. 이를 위해 태국, 키르키즈공화국, 베트남, 멕시코 등 신흥 4개국의 혁신기관 실무자들이 공동학습 - 네트워크- 상호작용 활동에 참여하는 행태를 표적집단면접법에 의해 분석하였다. 한국의 혁신기관에서 제공하는 전수사업에서 현지국가 혁신주체의 초기 활동을 분석한 결과, 전수사업의 연수 시간과 이후 현지인들에 의한 자체 공동학습 참여율의 관계는 가장 밀접한 상관관계 (0.975)가 있음을 발견하였다. 그러나 이들의 자체 공동학습과 현지의 네트워크 참여율의 상관계수는 다소 낮아 (0.667), 현지에서 공동학습을 네트워크로 연결하는 정책이 필요하다. 네트워크 참여율과 혁신주체의 상호작용 참여율은 높은 상관관계 (0.950)로 나타나, 네트워크 구축이 지역혁신 모델의 관건이라는 것을 보여준다. 본 연구는 교육과 컨설팅 형태의 연수보다는 현지의 혁신 네트워크 활동을 촉진하는 사업을 추천한다. 본 연구는 충남테크노파크의 사례와 같이 혁신주체들이 스스로 학습 네트워크를 구축하여 지역에 맞는 혁신모델을 창출하고 지역혁신플랫폼을 직접 운영하는 단계까지 추진하는 전수사업 정책을 제안한다.
