본 연구는 대표적인 지식기반산업인 생명의료산업클러스터인 첨단의료복합단지 조성정책의 형성과정을 분석하고자 한다. 첨단의료복합단지는 미래첨단산업육성정책, 국가산업진흥정책 그리고 지역균형발전정책이 첨예하게 대립했던 첨단의료산업 발전정책과 그 산물로서 2005년부터 시작한 첨단의료복합단지의 건립과정에 대한 경과를 분석하여 그 과정, 절차 그리고 결과를 분석해 보고자 한다. 첨단의료복합단지를 둘러싼 정책형성과정에 대한 분석은 단지 하나의 이벤트나 사건으로 머물지 않고 우리나라의 미래첨단산업정책, 국가신성장동력육성정책, 및 지역균형발전정책 등과 밀접히 관련되어 있다는 데 그 의의를 두고자 한다. 분석결과 첨단 의료산업분야의 정책형성 과정은 여러 정책행위자들이 간여하였다. 특히 해당 정책형성과정은 경제발전과정에서 보여준 한국 산업정책 고유특성이 반영된 합리적 행위자로서의 정부역할이 강하게 나타났다. 아울러 분석결과 다양한 정책행위자의 역동적인 역할이 정책형성의 여러 지점에 반영되었다는 점을 조명하였다.

국가혁신체계로서 클러스터의 중요성과 더불어, 향후의 방향에 대해 논하고자 한다. 본 연구의 목적은 클러스터의 지역, 산업, 정책적인 특성을 파악하여서 미래의 발전방향을 파악해보기 위한 것이다. 일반적으로 클러스터는 지역적으로, 산업적으로 확산되는 가운데, 정책적 지원을 통한 성장을 기대하고 있다. 지역, 산업, 정책 클러스터로 구분하여 살펴본 결과, 지역 및 산업 간의 연결과 정책적 촉진(facilitate)은 불가피한 것으로 나타났다. 다만 정책은 클러스터의 진화에 필요한 합리적이고 객관적인 기준설정에 의해 실행되어야 하고, 궁극적으로 시장의 자율적 역할이 극대화되는 방향으로 전개되어야 할 필요성이 존재하고 있다. 따라서 클러스터 진화과정에서 시장의 자율 즉 새로운 비즈니스에 대한 시장의 엄격한 평가가 진행될 수 있도록 진화시키는 것이 중요하다고 하겠다.

The policy aims of Regional Innovation Cluster(RIC) are not making the RIC itself but promoting the competitiveness of Small and Medium Enterprises(SMEs) in the region. Also, it goes without saying that small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) do the key roles of regional economic growth. This paper indicates that the innovative capabilities of SMEs are the crucial factors of the success of Regional Innovation Cluster. In order to improve SMEs' capabilities for innovation, knowledges are vital including codified knowledge or tacit knowledge. In cluster, the linkages especially among researchers and factory workers is important to innovative activities, and universities have to of for knowledge, education programs and new researchers fully qualified to SMEs. Also, regional governments and medias positively participate the cluster as helpers. Based upon the research results, some policy implications have been suggested concerning the policy supports to enhance innovative activities of SMEs within the Regional innovation Cluster.

Since the 1950s, many of the traditional industrial cities of advanced economies in Europe and North America were affected by a series of de-industrialization. The de-industrialization process, characterized by company shut-downs and massive lay-offs, has resulted in high unemployment rates and massive redundancies in physical infrastructure. Since the 1980s, many of the old industrial cities have attempted to overcome such problems. However, it has been found that not many of the cities are found to be successful. The City of Dortmund, one of the core cities of the large German industrial conurbation of the past, the Ruhr, is found to be an exceptional case demonstrating a clear success in overcoming deindustrialization problems. The City in fact strategically pursued transforming backbone of its economy from steel-making, coal-mining and beer-brewery to high-technology and future-oriented industries, based on microsystems, biomedical, electronic logistics and information technology. This paper attempts to analyse the processes and outcomes of transforming Dortmund beginning from the 1980s to articulate the roles of the agencies contributing to the success.

The industrial cluster policy of 21st century rise to the focus method of regional economic promotion, therefore, the importance of study in cluster identification and mapping as policy task will bring into relief. This paper will confirms the estimate index and policy of industrial clusters with regional industry. The result in this case study, Cluster development should embrace the pursuit of competitive advantage and specialization rather than simply imitate successful clusters in other locations. This requires building on local sources of uniqueness. Government should reinforce and building on existing and emerging clusters rather than attempt to create entirely new ones. This sort of role for government is very different from industrial policy. The aim of cluster policy is to reinforce the development of all clusters. Not all clusters will succeed, but market forces should determine the outcomes. In other words, government should build on market- oriented system and innovative infra. The result of this study is meaning to the development of objectivity estimate index and derivation of cluster-focused policy with a case study of industrial clusters.

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 explore the patterns of various innovation policies pursued by local governments in Korea. We surveyed and analyzed 16 regions at the county level and 7 ministries at the central government. It was found from the analysis that there are 719 policy programs having been enacted including some overlaps among 16 regions. 3,369 billion won in total were spent on the policy programs in 2002, of which 36.7 percent was contributed by the central government, 46.4 percent by local governments and remaining 16.8 percent by private partners who may have benefits from the policy programs. It was discovered that support programs for basic research and applied research activities were rare having small budget size, due to the lack of the importance of R&D activities in regional development and budget constraint of local governments. Technology sharing policies, particularly networks and technology transfer are the most underdeveloped one among types of innovation policies. Based upon the results of our analysis, we recommend that budget allocation, associated with science and technology, to local governments should be increased so that they can expand the support scale of existing program: as well as design new types of innovation policies.

The Oxford area is one of the major innovative regions of the world. The innovative characteristics of the area, however, have not been well exposed to the academic communities of the world and Korea. In fact, the area was a base of breading the Cambridge area and has also been playing important roles in creating the major British high-technology region, called "Golden Triangle," composed of Oxford, Cambridge and London. This paper investigates the process of growing innovativeness of the Oxford area and sheds more lights on the birth, growth and key actors of the area's Regional Innovation Systems(RISs). For this research, the author reviewed the literature related to the RISs, and gathered data based on the Internet, statistical data sources, interviews with local scholars and practitioners.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the process of changes in regional science and technology policies in Korea and to seek future development directions. In Korea, regional science and technology policies have been implemented since the introduction of the local autonomy system. Since then, it has been implemented in earnest with the establishment of a central government-level plan. The regional science and technology policies have been developed to this day by interacting with national science and technology policies and regional development policies. Nevertheless, due to the path dependence and lock-in effect in the accumulated process, the regional science and technology policies are still subordinate to central government policies. Thus, the establishment of an independent ecosystem for local science and technology is still insufficient. Furthermore, the gap between regions is deepening, such as the growing of aging population, population decline due to low birth rates, job losses due to the recession of local key industry, and the concentration of the youth population in the metropolitan area. The transformation path such as digital transformation and carbon neutrality paradigm is expected to further widen regional disparities. In order to address a comprehensive problem, the implementing system of regional science and technology policies need to be newly established. A framework for reinvention of regional science and technology policy needed in the era of grand societal challenges have to be developed.
