This paper examines the evolution of the systems of innovation approach and its main issues. At first, national systems of innovation have appeared on the purpose to substitute the neoclassical macroeconomic policies. But various criticisms have been raised because of the restriction within national boundary of analysis, the lack of dynamic analysis, the danger of institutional determination, the deficiency of theoretical accuracy in national systems of innovation. Technological systems, regional systems of innovation, sectoral systems of innovation have been developed to overcome criticisms about national systems of innovation. Nevertheless the unsettled questions in the systems of innovation approach remain. The academic and policy-making usefulness of the systems of innovation approach will be expanded by development of the complementary researches within approach.

After independence in 1945, the South Korean economy rose steadily from a developing country to a developed country while, after independence in 1960, Nigeria is still a developing country with poverty on the increase, despite its large amount of natural resources. This research seeks to find a viable solution to this issue while studying the relationship that exist amongst Economic Development Plans (EDPs), National Innovation System (NIS) and economic development in Korea. The methodology used herein is a mixture of a systematic literature review and a semi-structured interview. The results of this study show that EDPs are essential to the enhancement of communication, and the flow of knowledge and innovation of the NIS. Furthermore, our result shows that the efficiency of the NIS is relevant to drive economic growth and development. Therefore, based on our analysis of the current situation in Nigeria and the development trajectory of Korea, we developed, introduced and recommended a theoretical framework called the "Multiple skipping" development trajectory as a model for development in Nigeria.

This study focuses on the changes in the national innovation system between Korea and China since the 1990s, and studies how to benchmark the limitations of the current national innovation system in Korea from successful national innovation systems in China and apply it to Korean cultural contents. As a result of the review, the current cultural content of Korea is a time when it is necessary to drive sustainable growth in a rapidly changing era, and as a result of applying it from the successful cases of China's national innovation system, it is necessary to change the production of Korean cultural content of the Push strategy into a Pull strategy. In other words, it is necessary to produce cultural contents that fit the paradigm of market change. In addition, the existing technology should lead to the creation of new added value from each element composed of Korean cultural contents, K-pop, K-beauty, Korean food, and above all, it is necessary to institutional innovation of the country in distribution abroad.

Finns are central economic agents that play an important role in systems of innovation as they take responsibility for generating and diffusing knowledge in both organizational and societal context. They must be considered as learning organizations which interact with other finns and institutions that share their environment. The systems of innovation literature accentuates institutional conditions that influence innovation in sectoral, regional or national levels. Meanwhile, it tends to ignore the complex dimensions of finn practices in relation to learning and innovation activities. In this context, this paper attempts to examine what finns do for sustaining innovation and how they learn to innovate. This is not just critical to know individual finns innovativeness which depends on interactions with environments within and outside the organizational boundary but also to evaluate the regional innovation system potential. In short, it is important to see that finns would attempt to take advantage of distributed knowledge within and across the boundaries of the finn without sticking to particular regional innovation systems. I argue that the more finns of a cluster attempt not only to combine localized sources of knowledge and external sources of knowledge but also to become a learning organization, the more increased regional innovation system potentials can be.

지역경제의 성장과 혁신은 국가경쟁력 강화를 위한 중추적인 요인이다. 본 연구는 ICT산업인프라가 집적된 대구 및 경북지역의 ICT산업의 현황을 살펴보고, 혁신가치사슬 개념을 적용하여 지역혁신역량을 평가하기 위한 분석도구를 제시하였다. 지역혁신가치사슬은 지역경제 활성화와 국가경쟁력 향상에 영향을 미치는 지역혁신역량을 평가하는 도구로, 지역혁신체제의 인적, 물적, 제도적 인프라와 자원을 포함하는 개념이다. 지역단위의 혁신역량 분석은 지역 내의 혁신자원의 수준을 파악하고 혁신프로세스를 평가하는 데 필요하다. 그러나 대부분의 지역혁신역량에 관한 연구들이 혁신의 투입과 산출단계에 중점을 두고 있어, 본고에서는 전환단계를 포함한 혁신프로세스에 대한 통합적인 분석을 하였다. 이러한 지역 혁신가치사슬은 다른 지역 및 국가 단위 혁신체제에도 일반화하여 적용이 가능할 것으로 기대된다.

This paper aims at discussing the evolution of innovation theory from the beginning of the last century to present. Innovation theory has begun by Joseph Schumpeter in the beginning of the last century and his theory had not attained much attention compared to the mainstream economic theory. In the 1960s, some neo-classical economists analyzed the effect of technological change on economic growth and emphasized the role of demand in innovation process. However, in the beginning of the 1970s, Schumpeter's innovation theory, which emphasized the role of innovation and entrepreneurship in economic and social development, attained enormous attention by many liberal economists. They were called neo-Schumpeterians as they followed the theories and ideas of Schumpeter. In the middle of the 1980s, neo-Schumpeterians identified the concept of national innovation system(NIS), which is the total mobilization system of innovation resources for generating, appropriating and diffusing technological innovations. Soon this theory diffused very quickly at regional and sectoral level. As a result, there have been very active empirical studies on innovation systems in the world. Since the beginning of the 2000s the transition study have been actively carried out mainly in European countries. This study emphasizes the transition of existing innovation systems into more sustainable ones. In Korea we need to activate transition study, because there have been only few studies in this new theory.

본 연구는 방위산업기술보호법 제정에 따른 국가혁신체제로의 방위산업기술보호 방안을 살펴본다. 특히, 본 연구는 많은 시간과 노력을 통해 개발한 연구개발의 성과를 어떻게 보호해야 할지 측면에서 분석한다. 국내외 기술보호 법령, 조직 등 분석을 통한 시사점을 도출하고 국가혁신체제 관점에서 3가지 개선방안을 제시한다. 전문인력의 단계적 확충 및 전문지원 기관 설립, 효율적인 실태조사 방안 그리고 국가혁신체제 차원에서의 기술보호인식의 전환을 제시한다. 효율적인 방위산업기술보호체계 구축을 위해서 가장 중요한 것은 방위산업기술을 보유한 대상기관 최고책임자(CEO)의 의지이다. 영세한 기업의 경우는 기술보호를 위한 자원의 할당이 쉽지 않기 때문에 CEO가 기술보호에 대한 투자의 중요함을 인식하는 것이 중요하다. 이를 위해서 정부는 지속적으로 기술보호의 중요성에 대한 홍보를 강화하고, 제도적으로 울타리에 들어올 수 있도록 하고, 중소기업의 경우 기술보호체계 구축 등을 우선적으로 지원해야 한다.
