The cooperative network structure influences the academic performance of the research institute. In particular, South Korea's Government-Funded Research Institutes(GRI) need to establish an efficient cooperative system as a leading national R&D implementer. This study applied the Small World structure, which has been discussed as an efficient network structure, and the centrality of representing the characteristics of nodes to the cooperative network of GRI in Korea. Based on the SCIE published data from 2010 to 2019, we analyze how the Small World characteristics and centrality of GRI contribute to academic performance using a network analysis and Feasible GLS regression. The GRI cooperative network has shown that the Small World network structure facilitates the academic performance. In addition, centrality indicating the degree of direct connection showed positive significance, but centrality indicating the degree of intermediary was not significant or negative. The results of this study explain that the higher the number of institutions that exchange and cooperate, the higher the academic performance, and the higher the performance of the institutions that serve as the center of cooperation. In addition, it was established that the stronger the cooperative network of GRIs have the characteristics of Small World, the more effective it is to create research results. This study applies centrality and Small World previously discussed as an efficient network structure to the GRI cooperation network and provide implications for establishing policies and strategies related to R&D cooperation among GRIs.

In Korea, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) play an pivotal role in the national economy, accounting for 99.9% of all enterprises, 87.9% of total employment, and 48.3% of production. In spite of their crucial role in the national development, most of SMEs suffer from a lack of R&D related resources. Public R&D organizations such as government-funded research institutes can provide SMEs with valuable supplementary technological knowledge and help them build technological capacity. In this regard, this study estimated the effect of internal R&D investment and private-public R&D cooperation on technological innovation of ICT SMEs based on 2016 ETRI Survey. Building on previous literatures, the study established and tested a research model using binary logistic regression analysis. First, internal R&D investment and preferences for open innovation demonstrated the strengthening of R&D collaboration. Second, internal R&D investment and R&D cooperation showed a positive effect on both product and process innovation. Therefore, internal R&D capability and taking advantage of R&D collaboration are needed to achieve technological innovation for SMEs in ICT sector. This study also discuss implications for encouraging private-public R&D cooperation.

In this paper, we investigate the current status and problems of information security in government - funded research institutes, where the frequency of cyber - infringement threats is increasing, and emphasize the importance of information security. do. To this end, we will contribute to the establishment of a stable information security infrastructure for government-funded research institutes in the future by identifying problems and proposing improvement measures based on data related to information security such as information security policies, organizations, and budgets of government-funded research institutes.

As a means to address the modes of developing institutional evaluation system aimed at improving performances of GRIs, this study looked into the influential relations where institutional evaluation system has an impact on receptivity of evaluation outcomes and performances of institutes optimize their performances. After making analysis, it was confirmed that the National Research Council for Economics, Humanities and Social Sciences' institutional evaluation system for GRIs had a positive (+) influence on performances of research institutes, and receptivity of evaluation outcomes is related to performances of research institutes. In addition, it was also confirmed that institutes with high performances, in general, have high level of receptivity of evaluation outcomes along with positive recognition of institutional evaluation system. However, weaknesses of the Council's institutional evaluation system for GRIs resulted in low level of receptivity amongst GRIs, and thus there is limitation on the government and the Council in the active utilization of evaluation outcomes. Finally, it addressed the limitations and areas for improvement in relation to research outcomes.

This study analyze the relationship between S&T policy and the R&D performance plans of GRIs which lack relevant research through quantitative information analysis. KISTI which is focused on the case is an ICT-based GRI that is sensitive to changes in the internal and external environment, and the impact of government S&T policy changes on KISTI's R&D performance plans was analyzed in depth.

연구개발은 일반적으로 많은 투자가 요구되는 반면에 높은 불확실성이 존재한다. 따라서 정부에서 지원받는 제한된 인력과 예산을 기반으로 연구를 수행하는 출연연 입장에서는 연구개발의 효율성을 객관적으로 측정하고, 연구개발 활동에 투입되는 자원과 산출에 대한 체계적인 평가가 중요하다. 즉, 기관에서 운영하는 R&D 예산의 합리적인 배분을 위해서 연구개발 성과의 효율성을 측정하고 이를 다시 전략적으로 R&D 기획에 반영하는 피드백 과정이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 건설분야 정부출연연구기관의 연구부서를 대상으로 연구성과 분석을 통한 효율성을 측정하고자 한다. 이를 통해 제한된 인력과 R&D 연구비용의 합리적인 투자를 위한 전략적 우선순위 선정, 기관의 중장기 발전계획, 경영목표 등에 부합하는 연구과제를 수행하기 위한 정책 및 R&D 기획의 시사점을 제공하고자 한다.

한국의 출연(연)은 과학기술 기반 창조경제 실현을 위한 선도적 탈추격 R&D 주체로서의 출연(연)의 역할모델 재정립을 요구받고 있으며, 이는 자율과 책무에 기반한 지속가능한 R&D 체제로의 패러다임 전환을 수반한다. 본 연구는 공공연구기관의 자율성을 정의하고, 자율성을 구성하는 요인을 기관장 선임 및 거버넌스, 연구전략 및 목표관리, 예산, 인력, 그리고 평가로 구분하고, Autonomy Regime on Wheel (ARoW) 모델을 통하여 제시하였다. 자율성을 구성하는 각 요인에 대한 핵심 질의를 정의하고, 한국과 선진공공연구기관의 현황을 파악하여 벤치마킹 분석을 수행하였다. 분석 대상 선진 공공연구기관은 독일, 영국, 미국의 기관들로 선정하였으며, 특히 연구회 구조의 유사성 및 각 연구회 간 연구분야 및 임무의 균형이 조화롭게 유지되고 있는 독일의 4대 연구회를 중심으로 연구를 진행하였다. 연구를 위하여 분석대상 기관의 홈페이지를 포함한 국내?외 문헌조사 및 독일, 영국, 미국의 현지조사 과정을 거쳤으며, 이와 함께 국내?외 관련 전문가들에 대한 인터뷰를 진행하였다. 한국 및 선진 공공연구기관의 자율성 현황을 분석한 결과, 자율성을 구성하는 요인들에 대하여 전반적으로 한국의 실질적 자율성이 상대적으로 약한 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 공공연구기관의 자율성을 정의 및 분석한 최초의 학술적 연구로서, 향후 자율과 책무에 기반한 지속가능한 출연(연) 발전을 위한 전략 수립에 기반자료로 활용이 가능하다는 점에 그 의의가 존재한다.

ICT 기술 융합이 가져오는 초고속과 초융합, 초지능화 시대를 의미하는 제4차 산업혁명으로의 진입을 앞두고 있다. 그리고 그 시대를 선도하기 위한 국가, 기관차원의 전략수립이 치열하다. 그러나 제4차 산업혁명에 대한 불분명한 기준은 전략수립에 있어서 장애요인이 될 수밖에 없다. 이에 본 연구는 제4차 산업혁명에 관한 문헌을 토대로 전략수립을 위한 프레임워크를 제안하여, 다가오는 시대변화에 대응하기 위한 정부출연 연구기관의 역할에 대한 시사점을 얻는 데 그 목적이 있다. 특히 정부출연연구기관의 역할을 기술 인력 정보 제공자로 분명히 하고, 관련된 민간기업과의 공생을 통하여 제4차 산업혁명의 생태계를 조성하는 것을 강조하고자 한다. 제4차 산업혁명이 유연한 산업구조를 요구하고 있는 것은 분명하다. 따라서 정부출연 연구기관이 중소기업 및 기술기반 창업기업이 성장할 수 있는 생태계를 조성한다면, 제4차 산업혁명을 대기업 위주의 산업구조를 탈피할 수 있는 기회로 활용할 수 있을 것이다.

We classified collaboration types of Government-supported Research Institutes (GRIs) in Korea to make a creation knowledge with the openness and the diversity. The openness is described to collaboration dependence and leading intensity, and the diversity is expressed to collaboration diversity and collaboration concentration. We suggest four taxonomy models explained in terms of the openness and the diversity with country level and institute level. This study uses 39,507 papers in SCOUPS DB that include author(s) affiliated to 26 GRIs. It concludes that many GRIs is classified to the type of multilateral collaboration follower in institute level and to the type of global network player in country level from the perspective of openness. In the aspect of diversity, many GRIs is concentrated to the collaboration type of picky eater or monophagous in institute level and to the multinatioal asymmetry type or non-multinational asymmetry type in country level. It is necessary for GRIs to lead collaboration and to transfer inhouse R&D institutes with high performance to be competitive institutes which make high quality knowledge.
