With the advance to the knowledge-based economy, science and technology (S&T) has been recognized as key factor in a nation's competitiveness. To cope with this kind of new trend Korean government has tried to increase the R&D investment and to streamline acts and regulations concerning national R&D activities. Korea's total R&D expenditure for the year 2007 amounted to about 31.3 trillion won including government R&D of 8.9trillion won. With these efforts the capacity of Korea S&T has made great strides recently. Korea was ranked world's top 7 in R&D investment, top 12 in S&T paper publication and top 4 in patent application. Korean government enacted several pieces of legislation concerning S&T : the "Technology Transfer Promotion Act (1999)"; the "Framework Act on Science and Technology (2000)"; and the "Presidential Regulation for Managing the Government R&D Programs (2001)." In addition, the government has put a lot of effort into promoting the commercialization of technologies developed in public sector and improving the infrastructure of technology transfer and commercialization. However in spite of these various efforts, the technologies obtained from the public sector have not been transferred to the industry properly. Only 24.2% of technologies developed in the public for the year 2005 were transferred to industry. The royalty revenues of the public for the year 2005 was 1.5% of their total R&D expenditure. It shows only a third of the percentage of royalty revenues for the public sector in the U.S.A. and a second of Europe. There are many obstacles of public technology transfer such as immaturity of technology market, lack of licensing experience, and inadequacy of legal system and government policy. In this study I compared the Korean legislative system of patent management of government R&D outputs with the American system, derived problems from Korean system, and suggested proper alternatives.

Even though papers and patents generated by public research institutions including universities are continuously increasing in Korea, commercialization of research outputs is significantly lower than developed countries. Therefore, it is very important to improve the effectiveness of technology licensing offices(TLOs) of universities. In this study, we study effects of the patent manager dispatch program(PMDP) of the Korean Patent Office(KPO) on the performance of TLOs. KPO has dispatched patent experts to selected TLOs under the PMSD since 2006. Based on data of 126 TLOs, we analysed whether the PMSD has improved the performances of beneficiary TLOs. We tested two related hypotheses: (1)Whether or not a TLO received the dispatch service had effects on its performance? (2)Were early beneficiaries more effective than late beneficiaries or non-beneficiaries because of cumulative learning effects? The main findings are as follows. The past experience in itself did not improve performances of beneficiary TLOs. However, early beneficiaries were better than late beneficiaries or non-beneficiaries, that is, some learning effects might help the beneficiary TLOs improve their performances.

Studies on technological innovation of SMEs have made remarkable growth both qualitatively and quantitatively, but each study has a limitation to generalize due to lack of data, diversity of methodologies and variables. Therefore, a systematic and comprehensive statistical approach to obtain generalized conclusions through numerous empirical studies can help both the strategic decision making of SMEs and the government's innovation policies. The purpose of this study is to comprehensively analyze the technological innovation process of SMEs through meta-analysis. For this, the antecedents of technological innovation, the relationship between technological innovation and management performance of SMEs were analyzed. The results of using 62,512 samples from 111 domestic empirical studies were as follows; First, to improve the technological innovation of SMEs, internal cooperation, innovation culture, dynamic capabilities, and absorptive capacity were important antecedents. Second, in terms of IP performance, which was introduced as a proxy for technological innovation, human resource management, technological opportunities, commercialization capabilities, financial resources, and R&D expenditure. Third, technological innovation has a medium-sized effect on financial performance, however the effect of IP performance has a small effect size. Lastly, in the relationship between technological innovation and financial performance, the method of measurement and publication type showed statistically significant moderating effects.
