This study provides an empirical analysis based on 2012 Korea Innovation Survey (STEPI) to investigate the relation between R&D cooperation and in-house R&D investment. The study further analyzes the effect of the R&D cooperation and in-house R&D investment on technical innovation. First, the relation between company's in-house R&D investment and R&D cooperations is estimated with the two equations using SUR models. Second, the effect of in-house R&D investment and R&D cooperation on the company's technical innovation is estimated using Probit model. This study differs from other existing R&D studies using Korean data in that empirical models are based on structural relationships among in-house R&D, R&D cooperation, and technical innovation. The results can be summarized as follows; the R&D cooperation expands the in-house R&D investment and the in-house R&D strengthen the R&D cooperation. Furthermore, In-house R&D investment increases the chances of success in innovation. As we obtain evidence of complementary relation between R&D cooperation and in-house R&D investment, it is necessary to develop environment conducive to this complementarity in order to have more efficient R&D system.

This study attempts to identify the external and internal factors which affect collaboration motives and investigates their respective impacts from the perspective of foreign direct investment(FDI). Although there has been much research on collaboration motives, so far, few studies have associated collaboration motives with FDI. The findings suggest that while price competitiveness and cost structure uncertainty have a positive and significant impact on collaboration motives, the gross added value to property as well as plant and equipment have a significant negative impact. Furthermore, in the case of gross added value to both property and plant and equipment, managers tend to collaborate with others to enhance the value of these factors. For both FDI and non-FDI firms, internal factors such as price competitiveness and investment within three years are significant determinants for the decision to collaborate. The difference between FDI and non-FDI firms is that for the former, the gross added value to property, an internal factor, is a critical factor, while for the latter, the cost structure uncertainty, an external factor, is critical for collaboration. To summarize, this study suggests the following managerial implication: the enhancement of the internal competency of a firm broadens the window of opportunity for collaboration with others, and consequently provides a chance to boost management efficiency.

This study aims at investigating the effectiveness of SME's R&D system empirically. Specifically, this study analyze the relationships among R&D inputs(R&D investment, R&D human resource management), process(R&D planning, external network, internal cooperation), and output(technological innovation). A questionnaire was developed to measure the above variables. To test these relations, data were collected from the small and medium-sized IT firms located in Daegu-Kyungbuk region. The survey data of 154 firms were integrated as the empirical base for testing the relations. Most respondents were from the managers. Structural equation modeling analyses were used to examine the relations. Major results are as follows: Firstly, R&D HRM was positively and significantly influenced on the R&D planning. Secondly, R&D planning was positively and significantly affected on the external network, internal cooperation, and technological innovation. Thirdly, the both relations between R&D investment and R&D planning, and external network and technological innovation were not significant statistically. These results suggest the following implications. First, R&D human resource management is very important for IT SMEs. Secondly, internal cooperation mediates R&D inputs and technological innovation by approaching the other department's unique resources and by sharing the cost of new resource development. Several future researches need to overcome the limitations of this research. First, this study's sample was based on the small and medium-sized IT firms just located in Daegu-Kyungbuk region. This limitation may imply that empirical results can not represent overall small and medium-sized firm's situations. Therefore, future research needs to include different samples. Secondly, this study depends on the latitudinal study.

This study is that internal members of social welfare are divided into the first organization directly controlling and managing subjects and the second organization supporting and assisting the first one, and both organizations are analyzed through the empirical study about cooperation degree on the basis of interaction degree related with cooperation relationship from interorganizational relationship theories. That is because organic cooperation between both sides is essential element to effectively approach the ultimate purpose which subjects and related people need because of the social welfare business. This result suggests that both sides broadly recognize the need about cooperation between management systems and that it must come first to establish values and behaviors about the cooperation among the persons in charge on the organizational internal level for organic cooperation between organizations.

Despite the tremendous efforts to boost them, domestic SMEs lack competitive power and it intensifies bipolarization between the conglomerates and SMEs. Furthermore, degree of industry-academy collaboration still falls far behind of that of developed countries even with government' s various policies and continuous increase in investment to strengthen the SMEs' technology innovation capability. Although many internal factors are suggested to affect technological performance, focus of existing studies has been restricted to immediate impact of industry-academy collaboration on technology innovation and it is not known how internal factors are related. This research conducts empirical analysis on the impact of industry-academy collaborations and absorptive capacity on technological performance in Korean SMEs. Sample frame is SMEs with more than five employees located in the nation wide industrial complex and 1,077 questionnaires are collected with the help of Korea Industrial Complex Corporations. 940 sample data excluding those with insufficient response are used in analysis. Multiple regression analysis revealed that the industry-academy collaborations and innovative HRM system, on important dimension of absorptive capacity, are positively correlated to technological performance. Furthermore, there exists a positive interaction effect between industry-academy collaborations and innovative HRM system. These findings make contributions to the formation of SME innovation policy and management. When funding industry-academy collaborations, government should consider SMEs' internal effort for innovation, that is, the possession of innovative HRM system, as well as firm's technology capability. Also, as technological performance cannot be achieved simply with R&D investment, both quantitative and qualitative assessment of SMEs' technological capability should be done to evaluate the candidate SMEs. As for management, it is important for SMEs with limited internal resources and capabilities to fully employ external resources to achieve higher technological performance. The development of innovative HRM system will be particularly helpful not only for internal R&D, but also for adoption of technology and knowledge from outside.

The purpose of the study was to examine cooperative education between industry and school recognized by tentatively called managers of cooperative education, teachers in charge of cooperative education between industry and school, in vocational high school in Incheon Area. In order to accomplish the study purpose, the study conducted a research through questionnaire and examined their recognition for cooperative education between industry and school focusing on curriculum (purpose and content), operational system including supporting system (establishment and operational level) and educational type (process, effectiveness, problems and reinforcing measures). The study conducted a survey using Likert 5 score scale and analyzed the survey results using technical statistics such as frequency, average, standard deviation, etc. From the comprehensive results from the survey, it was found that although outcomes from industry-school cooperation are relatively high, participation is insufficient and intermediating organizations connecting concerned parties and mediating them are not enough because recognition and will of interested parties of industry-school cooperation are not sufficient. In addition, policies, legal and systematical and financial infrastructure for activation and efficiency of industry-school cooperation are not established perfectly, therefore, there are a lot of things to be improvement in operation. In particular, it was observed that establishment of internal organization and infrastructure for the number of workers in vocational training organizations are decisively inadequate.

최근 이러닝의 발전과 함께 다양한 표준들이 주목받고 있으며 그중에서도 SCORM 표준은 자기 주도적 학습 중심에 초점을 두고 있으므로 협력학습을 지원하기 위해서는 외부 도구를 별도로 이용해야 한다. 하지만 IMS LD 표준에서는 협력 학습을 지원하기 위해 컨퍼런스 서비스를 이용하여 콘텐츠를 저작할 수 있으며, 컨퍼런스 서비스는 LD 실행 엔진에 포함되어 실행되거나 외부 도구로 실행될 수 있도록 유연성을 제공한다. 이에 본 논문에서는 LD 표준에 기반하여 협력 학습을 실행 엔진 내부에서 지원할 수 있도록 개발된 내용에 대하여 설명할 것이다. 개발된 LD 실행 엔진은 LD 표준을 준수하며, LD 콘텐츠에 기술된 협력 학습 설계 내용에 따라 협력 학습을 진행할 수 있어 설정된 역할에 따라 협력 학습에서의 권한을 달리하여 협력 학습을 진행할 수 있다는 특징을 가지고 있다.

Firms must focus on innovative activities via R&D investment in order to secure competitive advantage and sustainable growth. However, their innovative activities do not always result in successful outcomes and are often obstructed by uncertainty and non-appropriability of technology being developed and by insufficient internal resources and capabilities to tap into it. In this situation, collaboration with external partners can be a part of good alternative strategy to solve those problems. This paper aims to analyze what factors lead to Korean manufacturing companies’ decision to collaborate with external partners for technology innovation. For empirical analysis, we used the Korean Innovation Data compiled by STEPI, government-funded research institute in Korea. The research findings are: 1) firms tend to participate in external collaboration for product innovation with greater firm size, more past collaboration experiences and when they belong to high-tech industries 2) unlike our expectation, our chosen ‘innovation-impeding’ factors are found not to contribute to the enhancement of collaboration for product innovation.

본 논문은 이상 유동장 시스템의 전기 단층촬영 기법의 성능을 향상시키기 위해 Matlab과 같은 계산 도구에 데이터 통신 기능을 추가적으로 구현하여 노드들의 협력 계산을 지원한다. 구현된 통신 기능은 Matlab 명령어 라인이나 m-file에서 직접 호출할 수 있는 동적 링크 라이브러리 형태로 제공되며 호출시 전달된 Matlab 고유 방식으로 표현된 행렬을 Windows 운영체제에서 제공하는 파이프 기능을 이용하여 네트워크를 통해 수신자에게 전달한다. O(n$^3$)의 복잡도를 갖는 다수의 연산으로 구성된 영상 복원 알고리즘에 있어서 사전 분석과정을 협력 계산함으로써 물체 내부의 상황에 따라 n의 크기를 감소시켜 알고리즘의 수행속도를 크게 개선할 수 있다. 본 논문에서 구현된 협력 계산 환경과 프로그램은 주어진 물체내부 기포 분포에 대해 동적 칼만 필터 프로그램을 8개의 노드를 사용하였을 때 15배까지 수행속도를 향상시켰다. 따라서 고가의 병렬 시스템 대신 현재 이용이 가능한 저비용의 클러스터 계산 환경을 ET 기법에 적용하여 보다 정확하고 신속한 영상 복원을 수행할 수 있다.
