The main objective of this study is to identify and analyze the factors affecting technology innovation of the innovative IT SMEs. A research model is established based on the previous studies on the technology innovation of SMEs. The model consists of independent variables (Adhocracy culture, R&D capability, IT capability, Leadership, and Appraisal & Reward), an intermediate variable (Knowledge management), and dependent variables (product/service innovation and process innovation). Major research results can be summarized as follows: IT SMEs pursuing technology innovation should: (1) pay attention to innovation oriented culture, IT capability, and evaluation & compensation systems of the company; (2) recognize that knowledge management is an essential activity performed by the company; (3) strengthen the R&D capabilities of the company by not only exerting internal efforts but establishing cooperative network with various parties; and (4) resolve the decoupling problem of the evaluation & compensation system.

The importance of industrial policy and innovation policy perspectives on public procurement has recently been highlighted. In particular, there have been discussions and studies on whether public procurement directly affects the growth and innovation of SMEs. As an extension of this study, this study analyzes whether the age of a firm moderating the effect of public procurement on growth among the characteristics of firms participating in public procurement. The analysis data was constructed by matching the financial data of about 1,247 firms designated as excellent products by the Public Procurement Service(PPS) from 2006 to 2017 and the public procurement sales. As a result of analysis through the panel regression model, firms with a greater degree of public procurement showed a higher growth rate, and this relationship was stronger with younger firms. This result not only contributes to the existing academic discussion on the effectiveness of public procurement, but also has significance in the establishment of public procurement policy.

Recently innovation cluster has been emphasized as a valid policy measure for innovation. For suggesting a new model of innovation cluster, we conducted literature review for the theories of regional innovation system(RIS) and innovation clusters. As a result, the success factors of innovation cluster were classified into system measures, physical measures, and social(human resources) measures from the perspective of RIS. The case of Gyeonggi province's innovation cluster policy was examined for an empirical analysis. For an in-depth analysis, a survey for the tenant companies in Pangyo technovalley(PTV) was conducted. As a result, it was found that Gyeonggi province's innovation cluster policy is evolving from 'a government-initiated system' to 'the 3rd-generation convergence RIS' and that PTV is closely related to the system measures of 'support for up-to-date management and technology information' and 'support for academic-research-industry cooperative research and technological cooperation,' physical measures of 'strengthening the function of PTV support division' and 'shared research equipment and other infrastructures,' and social measures of 'legal, financial, and administrative support system' and 'public childcare facilities'. Also, technology sector was divided into IT and non-IT for a validity check to find out that there was no significant difference in all factors, except for the public relations factors. This study is expected to provide resources for other related researches.

The industrial cluster policy of 21st century rise to the focus method of regional economic promotion, therefore, the importance of study in cluster identification and mapping as policy task will bring into relief. This paper will confirms the estimate index and policy of industrial clusters with regional industry. The result in this case study, Cluster development should embrace the pursuit of competitive advantage and specialization rather than simply imitate successful clusters in other locations. This requires building on local sources of uniqueness. Government should reinforce and building on existing and emerging clusters rather than attempt to create entirely new ones. This sort of role for government is very different from industrial policy. The aim of cluster policy is to reinforce the development of all clusters. Not all clusters will succeed, but market forces should determine the outcomes. In other words, government should build on market- oriented system and innovative infra. The result of this study is meaning to the development of objectivity estimate index and derivation of cluster-focused policy with a case study of industrial clusters.

Startups play an important role in economic growth and job creation in niche markets, thus governments regularly expand their research and development(R&D) budgets accordingly. As stratups are more dependent on governments to compensate for insufficient resources and capabilities than large and medium-sized companies, trust in government policies will be important. In this study, we analyzed the impact of startups' trust in government R&D policies on innovation performance. There were three major results. The first result is that government R&D investments in startups increase innovation performance in the manufacturing and high-technology industries but did not affect other industries. The second result is that trust in government R&D policies increased innovation in high-and medium-high technology and manufacturing industries. The third result is that trust in government R&D policies affects innovation before, during, and after evaluation of support process. We analyzed the importance of trust to the effectiveness of government R&D support to determine how to effectively provide it. The results show that governments need to differentiate the types of R&D support they provide according to the target firm's technology level and whether they are a manufacturing company and that appropriate R&D support mechanism should be developed for low-technology and non-manufacturing companies. Finally, governments should allocate resources and make fair and transparent decisions to help companies grow, not to better supervise them.

This study examines the effects of policy mix on R&D efficiency in by using data from 2014 and 2016 Korean Innovation Survey. The DEA-Tobit analysis is used to estimate the impact of policy mix on relative R&D efficiency. As a result of the DEA analysis, the R&D efficiency of the Korean manufacturing industry firms is low, because the R&D investment has not been used effectively. According to the Tobit model, policy mix have a positive effect on R&D efficiency. In particular, the combination of market-oriented, market supply-oriented, and supply demand-oriented policy mix showed a positive relationship with R&D efficiency. R&D portfolio is necessary to improve R&D efficiencies and government has to facilitate a policy mix in view of the nature of firms and Consistency of policy tools.

This study aims to explore the patterns of various innovation policies pursued by local governments in Korea. We surveyed and analyzed 16 regions at the county level and 7 ministries at the central government. It was found from the analysis that there are 719 policy programs having been enacted including some overlaps among 16 regions. 3,369 billion won in total were spent on the policy programs in 2002, of which 36.7 percent was contributed by the central government, 46.4 percent by local governments and remaining 16.8 percent by private partners who may have benefits from the policy programs. It was discovered that support programs for basic research and applied research activities were rare having small budget size, due to the lack of the importance of R&D activities in regional development and budget constraint of local governments. Technology sharing policies, particularly networks and technology transfer are the most underdeveloped one among types of innovation policies. Based upon the results of our analysis, we recommend that budget allocation, associated with science and technology, to local governments should be increased so that they can expand the support scale of existing program: as well as design new types of innovation policies.

All countries of the world have been spurring foreign direct investment consistently for securing of economic growth and growth engines, and Korea is no exception. Korea has been stimulating investment of high quality through various political support and the government has been publicizing it as an achievement. Based on the most of previous studies analyzed the results of foreign direct investment only on the view of domestic economy, this study supposes that foreign direct investment influences positively on management and innovation performance on companies, and evaluated effects of foreign direct investment by using Propensity score matching method. Analysis shows that foreign direct investment has positive influence on management and innovation performance before matching them. However, after matching them, the most statistical significance disappears. Consequently, foreign direct investment has limited effect on company's performance comparison on initial assumption. 'This study indicates that incentive policy of foreign direct investment would need to be amended, because effect of incentive policy was limited for firm's performance.
