Ever since the concept of clean production technology was introduced to the Korea industry communities, 16 years has passed, but there is still some confusion regarding to the definition and the meaning. It ascribes that SMEs do not widely accepted the concept and therefore the dissemination is still not widen. This study has explored the definition and the categories of clean production technologies as well as compared the relationship between the environment technology and green technology.In addition, as a policy plan to disseminate cleaner production technologies to small and medium enterprises, several policies are suggested hoe to improve and expand eco- innovation projects that are currently supported by the government.

In the digital age, innovation is at the heart of information technology development. This paper explores the differences of regional innovation capabilities from within the innovation system from a new perspective. By applying the coupling coordination degree model, the coupling coordination degree analysis is conducted for the three systems of innovation (innovation input, innovation output, and innovation environment) in 31 provinces, municipalities, and autonomous regions of China. The results show that: the overall level of coupling coordination degree in China is low, and the number of provinces in good coordination and quality coordination is low number, but they are all distributed in the eastern economically developed regions, showing a high correlation between regional innovation and regional economic development. The overall trend of China's innovation coordination is on the rise. The research results of this paper can provide a new perspective for the evaluation of innovation capability, and also provide an important impact of innovation on promoting the development of ICT industry.

The competence of SME's technological innovation is deemed as one of the crucial factors in national and regional economies. Yet, as seen in previous studies, there is a dearth of studies on this subject, and policy and academic circles had been inclined to relatively underestimate the contribution of the SMEs to economies and industries (such as, job creation and GDP contribution). Generally, there is a bias that the innovative activity of the large-sized firm is likely to perform better than that of the small-sized company. According to several case studies, however, SME possesses a more appropriate form for innovative activities, and significantly contributes to creating advanced industrial agglomeration. Hence, this study analyses the contribution of the SME innovation to the national and regional economy along with analysing the extant literature. In doing so, we can reason out theoretical and policy implications.

Sweden's regional innovation system is built mainly on innovative clusters, several of them - in automobile, steel, new materials, information and telecommunication, and bioscience - world-class. Most successful clusters were developed at local bases imbued with local history. In fact, a cluster's competitiveness is intimately related to its closeness of fit with its local environment. Geographically dispersed clusters in Sweden - some national, others local, and some local but deemed members of a national cluster as well - have already created many new competitive products and services. In 2001, Sweden has eight national and nine regional clusters, and envisioned eleven national and five regional clusters more. The experience of Swedish clusters indicate several elements that determine the ability of cluster policies to promote and strengthen regional economic growth. Cluster policies require strong public sector support, particularly in the form of providing basic national conditions. Regional cluster policies place new demands on national and regional industrial policies. All policies must be closely interwoven without compromising their primary allegiance to their respective areas.

This research aims to examine Korean regional innovation governance, find structural problems, and explore alternative strategies of regional innovation governance. Especially the alternative governance was searched through the case study of Daegu-Kyungbuk mobile cluster, of which formulation Samsung is the anchor institution. Regional innovation governance in this research is defined as a policy system to link knowledge generation & diffusion subsystem and knowledge application & exploitation subsystem, and institutional conditions to steer the system. "Social Capital Assessment Tool (SOCAT)" of the World Bank was utilized for the appreciation of cluster governance. The regional innovation governance of Daegu-Kyungbuk mobile cluster is characterized as production networks dominated by one-to-one relationship between Samsung and hardware/software developers, decentralized R&D networks and policy networks with multiple hubs. Major policy agents have not developed networks with local companies, and rare are interactions between the policy agents. Local companies, especially software developers, responded they have had experiences to cooperate for local problem solving and shared their community goal, however, the degree of trust in major local project leaders is not high. Local hardware/software developers with core technologies need to be cooperative to develop similar technologies or products in Daegu-Kyungbuk mobile cluster. Regional administrative actors, such as the City of Daegu and Kyungsangbuk-do, and diverse innovation-related institutes should build cooperative environment where diverse project-based cooperation units are incessantly created, taken apart, and recreated.

본 논문에서는 지역균형발전의 중요성과 지역균형발전의 목표 및 정책방안을 알아보고 지역균형 발전정책 추진에 따른 갈등해소의 장애요인과 갈등 해소방안에서 장애요인을 분석하면 지역균형발전 및 지역경제 활성화를 위한 새로운 전략방향을 모색하고, 지역경제 활성화를 위해서는 지역중심으로의 관점의 전환과 새로운 발전전략 설계와 실행의 지속적 추진이 필요하다 갈등해소의 장애요인으로 권위주의 문화의 전통, 당위론적 사고방식, 교육방식에 있어 우열의식이나 흑백논리 사고와 민주적 훈련 및 자율의식의 결어 되어 있다. 이러한 장애 요인을 해소하기위해 지방경영의 효율화를 위하여 지방 재정확충을 위한 적극적인 정책 제안이 필요하고 지자체간의 협의회 및 중앙정부의 분쟁조정위원회의 법적 구속력과 권한을 강화할 필요가 있으며, 규제완화와 함께 지자체간 경쟁을 유발하고 합리적인 수익자 부담원칙을 적용하는 것이 바람직한 방안임을 알 수 있다.

This study attempts to analysis the roles of national laboratories in the context of regional innovation systems and the contribution to local economic development in the case of Taedok Science Park in Korea. It also tries comparative studies between Taedok Science Park and some European experiences. Recently the role of national laboratories as key innovation agents for regional development strategies is emphasized in European countries. In the similar context, national laboratories have explicit missions to assist in the formations of new firms and to support existing small and medium-sized enterprises in their localities. It is found that these functions are largely present and become more important in Taedok, but that the linkages between national laboratories and local firms are still weaker than some European countries. This study concludes that national laboratories in Korea should reinforce the industry-research linkages with local economic activities in the region to stimulate cooperation activities.

This study aims to suggest methods for improving innovation capability in Daegu-Gyeongbuk's mobile industry. Before offering suggestions, it analyzes the characteristics of technological innovation based on the mobile industry's value chain in Daegu-Gyeongbuk in relation to R&D workforce, R&D expenditures, and R&D networks. Support for R&D workforce in the Daegu-Gyeongbuk's mobile industry is concentrated in the mobile device and contents sectors. In addition, it is difficult for companies to finance R&D expenditures because most are SMEs, except for some large enterprises in the mobile device sector. R&D networks are structured mainly inside of companies, and linkages among universities, research institutes, and supporting institutes are weak in all sectors. To strengthen the innovation capability in Daegu-Gyeongbuk's mobile industry, therefore, human resource projects should be dispersed, and financial support should also be spread across value chain sectors rather than concentrated. Aside from this, a place for industry, academia, institutes, and government to build and enhance innovative networks should be created in all sectors.
