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.

Although a commercialization of developed technology is an important factor for firm's competitiveness, the success rate in technology commercialization is significantly low. This fact raises a need of an analysis on factors affecting success in technology commercialization. Thus, in this study, in order to determine the success factors of technology commercialization, statistical analysis is done on 4 different elements of Korean automobile industry firms: managerial group attitude, market orientation, technology quality, and government support; and developed a causal-relationship model of the above elements and commercialization. In the developed model, two moderating variables, corporate ability and industry classification, are added to determine the level of correlations respect to two moderating variables. As a result of hypothesis tests, market orientation, managerial attitude as an antecedent variable; and government support, technology quality as an antecedent variable, both have significant correlation with technology commercialization. For moderating variables, a corporate ability has moderating effects on the connections of managerial attitude, market orientation and technology commercialization; but an industry classification has a moderating effect only on the link between technology quality and government support. The results of this research serve a contribution to the development of R&D efficiency improvement by providing government with direction in science & technology policy.

In this paper, 228 cooperations supported by government were surveyed on the cognition levels of 5 factors for successful policies that support small business cooperation. Goal importance, awareness stage of importance, and current concerning level were scored to each question of factors. Using the results of previous studies, the maturity of each success factor, and the forecast time to mature and maturity of each question were analyzed. The results were compared with the results of a study precedent. Moreover, the changes in the participants' recognition levels were reviewed between before and after government's support. These comparative studies reflect government policies. Despite the government's supporting policies aided on building cooperation positively, the participants still worry about the decreasing government support. To allay these concerns, government policies should be implemented continuously to promote cooperation rather than a one-time support.

This article empirically explore the effects of a training subsidies of corporate training investment and productivity improvement using enterprise data. I find that large sized enterprises don't have clear positive effects, but small&medium sized enterprises have, And the more enterprises have corporate training investment, the more positive effects of training subsidies decrease. So large sized enterprises with a relatively high level of corporate training investment have the restricted effect of training subsidies compare to small&medium sized enterprises.

This paper used individual establishment level data to estimate the effects of government support for the research and development of 'small and medium enterprises'(SMEs). We analyzed, on the establishment level, the degree of technical advancement, strength of private R&D incentives, and the effect on employment levels of firms which participated in the 2010 government R&D support project. The results of this study are as follows. First, the size and frequency of government investment in the R&D of SMEs were both positively correlated with the amount of patent registrations. Furthermore, we found that the amount of patent registrations were positively correlated with the size of the establishments, but the average level of technological advancement for the firms running the research was lower than the average level of technological advancement for the firms merely participating in the project. Second, the government's R&D policy was found to be complementary to private R&D incentives, and a 1% increase in government R&D investment resulted in an inelastic increase (0.193~0.245%) of the firms' post-program R&D spending. Third, we found that R&D support from the government contributed to an increase of employment by the participating firms. Additionally, we found that the impact of R&D support on job creation varied for the firm size and technological characteristics. Therefore, it is important for governments to take into consideration each type of small business, when setting R&D policies.

Regarding the discourse on the correlation between governmental financial support and firm performance, much emphasis has been placed on the role of individual corporate characteristics as well as spatial features. However, there is a notable scarcity of empirical research examining the integrated impact of corporate and cluster characteristics on managerial performance. This study addresses this gap by empirically analyzing the financial and non-financial outcomes resulting from specific allocations of governmental financial support. Additionally, it explores corporate and cluster characteristics predicted to moderate the influence between governmental financial support and firm performance. The analysis employs a two-level hierarchical linear model (HLM) at individual and group levels. The data, reorganized based on business registration numbers at the firm and cluster levels, ultimately utilized panel data from 83,395 firms and 641 clusters. The research findings indicate that governmental financial support demonstrates a positive effect (+) on both sales and patents for firms, suggesting its effectiveness in complementing market failures. Results from the hierarchical linear model analysis show that when combined with human capital capacity, absorptive capacity, and cluster network density, governmental financial support exhibits significant positive effects on sales. This study contributes theoretical and practical insights by analyzing the relationship between governmental financial support and firm performance using a two-level hierarchical linear model. It highlights the role of corporate characteristics such as human capital and absorptive capacity, along with cluster characteristics like cluster network density, in moderating the effects of governmental financial support on firm performance.

우리나라의 생명공학은 지난 1970년대초 광생물질의 개발, 식품공업의 발전및 농업기술의 개발과 함께 생명공학과 관련되는 산업을 꾸준히 발전시켜 왔으나 전반적으로 기술이 낮은 던계에 머물러 있었고, 1980년대에 들어와서 선진국으로부터 각종기술의 도입과 협력연구 등으로 상당한 수준에 이르게 되었다. 이와 더불어 생명공학의 중요성을 인식하고 국책연구기관및 민간기업을 중심으로 신생명공학기술의 개발에 역점을 두어 기술수준의 제고에 노력한 결과, 몇몇 제품분야에 있어서는 상당한 발전을 보게 되었다. 그러나 미국, 일본을 비롯한 선진국 수준에는 전반적으로 미치지 못하고 아직 초기단계를 벗어나지 못한 상태에 있다. 그러나 정부의 적극적인 지원정책에 힘입어 미간기업의 주도적 연구협력체인 유전공학 연구조합(1982년 3월 설립)과 국책연구기관인 유전공학센터(1985년 2월)가 각각 설립되어 특히 신생명공학의 응용및 개발연구를 활발하게 추진함은 물론 학계에서도 정부정책에 부응하여 관련학과를 신설하는등 관련기초 전문의 교육및 연구를 위하여 최선을 다하고 있으므로 1990년대 이후에는 분야에 따라서는 선진국 수준에 이를 전망이다.
