This paper reviewed outline of Strategic Niche Management(SNM) and its usefulness and limits as policy tool. SNM is based on Multi Level Perspective(MLP) that traces technological innovation and makes transition of lock-in socio-technical system. This approach is one of systematical then traditional one, market failure approach. SNM had get a attention not only as a analytical frame of technological development, but also tool of radical innovation, although its limits of theoretical and empirical immaturity. SNM could provide a new perspective to analysis and action within urgent needs of alternative innovation policy for aging society, news energy policy for sustainable and disaster policy in danger society.

For the transition to the low carbon society, it is inevitable but difficult journey that the new energy technology spread co-exists with formal social system. The objective of offshore wind power plant that has been implemented by the government is to connect large capacity new renewable energy to the central electric power system. Therefore, for the successful introduction of offshore wind power system, the transition of the formal social technology system should be companied. This study analysis the energy system transition about niche strategy adjustment using Multiple Level Perspectives & Strategic Niche Management. It also multi level analyzes and structuralizes the process that new technology, as a research result, evolves through connecting and communicating with formal regime and landscape. Also, adjusting Strategic Niche Management, it diagnoses the obstructive factors in the initial stage of niche experiment and found the major reasons why offshore wind power test plant had been delayed. Through this study, it reaches to the practical implication that offshore niche technology could grow stably in the energy system and various policies.

Recently, environmentally friendly technology are becoming important due to reconsideration about climate change and environmental pollution. In addition, as well as technical skills and social interaction through an analysis of the nonlinear transition management and policy implementation are emerging. This study of the development of photovoltaic industry in Korea 10 years analyze with strategic niche management (SNM) based on the theoretical and multi-layered perspective (MLP) is used as the analytical framework. Choose the gerverment-support project for niche technology, through a process of quantifying and alnalyze the phase transition to Regime with the numerical method and policy vision, learning effects, and network that key elements of SNM, MLP. Through the analysis of the photovoltaic industry technology-commercialization phase was investigated. This conventional overall and step-by-step model for technical management is proposed to replace exiting linear and narrow method and through the case study its validity was confirmed.

This paper overviews the concept of the strategic niche management, which emphasises the social aspects of new technologies and calls for relevant government policies for socio-technical transition. Hydrogen energy technologies remain in the niche level, thus the SNM perspective is appropriate to be applied. The reason why, and the way how to see hydrogen as a socio-technical niche are discussed, followed by an analytic argument on hydrogen policies and their SNM characteristics. Final part of the paper deals the design of the socio-technical experiment. It is expected that this paper would contribute to not only policy development but also improving understandings on the socio-technical nature of hydrogen energy of hydrogen community.

This paper presents theoretical discussions on socio-techical system transition, by shedding light on the STS context. With a rising attention paid by STI policy researchers, the socio-technical system perspective seems particularly promising in applying to the pursuit for the sustainable development. The normative strand in STI policy research has been strongly influenced by the STS tradition that emphasizes active and participatory roles not only of academian but also of science and technology. Throughout reviewing the development of the socio-technical system perspective, its theoretical components of environment, drivers and dynamics are discussed, often being linked to older perspectives. STI policy involves in socio-technical transition in a manner of transition management and governance, which is the final part of this paper.

The significance of hydrogen economy and production technology is steadily increasing. This research reviewed strategies for utilizing hydrogen production technology by combining a multi-layer model, strategic niche management, and the need factor for Hoship. The model was validated as a strategy considering hydrogen production technology and the transformation of the energy system. Using this, a new business model for hydrogen production technology was created, finding a strategic niche and sophisticating the technology. It also proposed ways to unlock the potential of hydrogen production technology and improve its efficiency. This work contributes to the commercialization of hydrogen production technology and its role in sustainable energy conversion. It proposes a new and effective approach for utilizing hydrogen production technology, going beyond its limitations to suggest a more efficient method. It is hoped that these results will be helpful to researchers in hydrogen energy, and serve as a reference for establishing ways to utilize hydrogen production technology.

Transition studies have been gaining attention among innovation researchers from the early 1990's mainly influenced by emerging global agendas on sustainability. In this paper, we review research issues and trends focusing on four prominent transition theories - Technological innovation systems, Multi-level perspective, Transition management and Strategic niche management. After reviewing main characteristics, research trends and debates of each theory from established literatures, we conduct comparative analysis of these theories and suggest integrated framework that can be considered when modeling transition policy. This integrated framework is applied to the case study on smart-grid policy of Korea.

This study examines the approach of socio-technical systems and strategic niche management. It reviews the characteristics of that approach such as multi-level perspectives, the views on technology, and policy orientation. It applies the approach to the long-term vision making in science and technological innovation, socio-technical planning, participatory R&D, and science communication in Innovation policy areas and suggests some policy implications.

본 연구의 목적은 우리나라보다 앞서 실시하고 있는 일본의 산업 클러스터 계획 프로젝트의 거시적인 현황과 가장 성공적이라고 하는 TAMA클러스터의 사례를 분석하여 향후 우리나라 클러스터 정책 시행에 필요한 시사점을 얻는데 있다. 특히 TAMA클러스터의 성공은 이를 직접 관리하고 있는 민간차원의 중개조직인 TAMA산업활성화협회의 운영전략을 집중적으로 분석하여 봄으로써 도입 가능성에 대한 진단과 정책적 제안을 하고자 한다. 첫째, 일본의 19개 지역별 산업 클러스터 계획의 공통점은 어느 것도 도도부현의 영역을 초월한 광역적인 클러스터를 형성하고 있다. 광역단위의 집적은 상대적으로 클러스터 계획에 대한 중요성과 실행주체를 망각하기 쉬워 실패할 가능성이 비교적 높을 수 있다 이러한 점을 극복하기 위한 대안으로 산학연의 3주체 간 연계를 주로 담당하는 민간중심의 중개조직을 두어 운영하고 있다. 둘째, 클러스터 정책기간은 시작에서 자립까지 20년을 상정하고, 제1기 5년간은 산업 클러스터 네트워크 구축기, 제2기 5년은 산업 클러스터 성장기 그리고 마지막 제3기 10년은 산업 클러스터의 자율적 발전기로서 책정되어 수행하는 것이 바람직하다고 보고 있다. 셋째, 개별적인 산업 클러스터의 비전, 목표, 중장기 전략의 올바른 수립이 필요한데 백화점식이 아닌 대상산업 및 대상 주체에 대한 선택과 집중의 전략성이 엿보인다. 넷째, 정책 대상의 범위는 연구개발에서 판매에 이르기까지 전 비즈니스 프로세스를 대상으로 하고 있으며 클러스터 관련 정책수행 주체들의 정책조율, 중복 투자의 회피 그리고 효과적인 정책을 시행하기 위하여 수평적인 연락망과 협의체를 구성하고 있다. 다섯째, TAMA협회는 전통적인 동종 산업중심의 협회 기능과는 달리 제품개발형 중소$\cdot$중견기업을 대상으로 신기술개발과 신사업 전개를 위한 전략적 지원을 하고 있다. 비교적 개별적인 기술개발 능력은 물론 독자적인 마케팅 능력을 갖고 있어 일반적인 보호 대상자로서의 중소기업과는 차원이 다르며 기존의 하청관계라는 수직적 의존적인 존재가 아니라 세계적으로 니치 시장에서 경쟁력을 가지고 있는 대기업과 대등한 입장의 우량기업이라는 것이 특징이다. 여섯째, 지금까지는 기업을 지원하는 각 기관들이 각각 독자적으로 운영하여 경영자원의 분산과 이용으로 수혜자인 중견$\cdot$중소기업의 입장은 물론 지방자치단체 및 중앙정부의 차원에서 분석하여 볼 경우 경영자원의 Critical Mass를 확보하기 어려웠다. TAMA협회는 네트워크 조직으로서 주로 소프트적인 지원을 통하여 원활하게 수행하고 있음. 정보와 네트워크만을 가지고 조직간 관계를 중개하는 가벼운 네트워크 조직으로서 운영하는 방법은 한국의 경우에도 적용이 가능하며 매우 유용하다고 생각된다.

The purpose of this article is to re-interpretate 'Post Catch-up Studies' on the Korean innovation system with the framework of 'Transition Studies'. The viewpoints of the vision, research area and system innovation process of Post Catch-up studies are reviewed and reconfigurated. The Transition Studies concepts of Sustainability, Coevolution of industry and society, and transition management are introduced into the Post-catch up Studies and discussed. It is suggested that Post catch-up studies should support sustainability system transition and make use of transition management tools for the sustainable post catch-up innovation and policy.
