The purpose of this paper is to analyses current status and issues of cluster formation and extract policy implications. To this end, the questionnaire which surveyed the level of cluster formation were executed targeting the actors of regional innovation projects(RIPs). The results show that the situations and development stage of the cluster formation between capital region and non-capital region, large cities and small and medium sized cites are different. The level of clustering is also satisfactory, which is a requirement for cluster formation at its early stage. However, the capacity for phase II of cluster growth is not sufficient yet in terns of relationships between ventures and large corporations, institutions supporting management, finance and marketing, researchers from each individual sector of strategic industries and spin-off fines. Therefore, RIPs should be promoted with different policy tools for various regions that are devised according to the varying development stage of each region. The location of RIPs should be determined considering efficiency rather than equity, clustering rather than decentralization, and specialization rather than multiple development. In the long term, developed regions should pursue balanced regional development, with underdeveloped regions targeting specialization.

This study was designed to provide implications for related policies by researching the impact on business management performances focusing on the activities within the innovation clusters based on small and medium venture companies in Daejeon area. The questionnaires from 212 CEOs of small and medium venture businesses in Daejeon were analyzed and verified the research hypothesis using SPSS 21. From the empirical analysis, we confirmed the following results; activity of information exchange, information acquisition and solving activity between demand and supplier showed positive effects on business management performance, however the concern and relationship have no effects on business management performance. From this study, we suggest that the active participation in activity of innovation cluster and various supporting systems or policies have to expand for sustainable growth and development of companies within innovation cluster. We also propose that companies needs to try to more efforts on enhance the mutual satisfaction or forming a consensus for cooperation. This study also propose the implications that the companies, innovation cluster must try on efforts to improve relation among members for enhancing the lack of concerns and relationship.

This paper aims to analysis for evaluation factor and success prediction of port innovative cluster. This paper is divided three factors such ac policy, source and operation. In addition, three factors are divided into the twelve detail factors. the weight of each factor is calculated by Kohonen Network. At the result, this paper places the priority on the source factor.

Previous researches on technological innovation of SMEs have several limitations such as lack of study for industrial cluster system and entrepreneurship in SMEs, and ignoring role of RandD capability. So, this study suggested empirically a new model to SMEs. Major results are as follows. Firstly, system of industry and production had a significant and positive effect on entrepreneurship. Secondly, entrepreneurship had a significant and positive effect on technological innovation. Thirdly, system of science and technology had positive and significant effects on RandD capability and technological innovation. Fourthly, RandD capability had a positive and significant effect on technological innovation. Fifthly, business support system was not significantly related to entrepreneurship, RandD capability and technological innovation. Research results revealed that industrial cluster system(system of industry and production, system of science and technology), entrepreneurship and RandD capability were important for improvement of technological innovation performance in SMEs.

In year 2003, the Daedeok Science Town(DST) has celebrated its 30 years of anniversary and achievement in science and technology development. However, there is a criticism that DST has not played its expected role in Korea's National Innovation System. Recognizing this criticism, the development of DST was evaluated in the perspective of innovation cluster. The research shows that DST has been following the downstream path of evolution - from S＆T development to business development - and is in the early stage of R＆D-driven Innovation Cluster. Not only the development factors of DST innovation cluster were identified but the DST was compared with other internationally recognized innovation clusters. Finally, it is suggested that the business related functions should receive due attention in innovation cluster policy.

To tackle the problem of regional economic and social disparities in Korea, the government of Roh, Mu-Hyun(2003-2007), launched a series of radical policies and programs to decentralize administrative activities of the capital region and stimulate economic growth in less developed regions, based on regional innovation systems and industrial cluster concepts. This paper highlights the Roh government's approach to reducing regional disparities, and makes some comments on the innovation cluster strategy by investigating the realities appearing in a major city, Daejeon. It concludes that many ministries of the Roh government created various competing, undifferentiated programs that were assigned too much money and energy, and drained resources from other governmental activities. In fact, very few programs show positive signs of achieving the goals of innovation in less developed regions, balancing the growth gaps between well-off regions and the rest of Korea, and generating overall economic growth for the country.

This paper aims to analyze the process of the evolution of Gumi electronics industrial cluster and to understand the role of governments for local industrial dynamics. Gumi was a typical satellite platform type new industrial district up to mid-1990s. At that time, Gumi industrial park was the agglomeration of branch plants headquartered in Capital Region with weak local linkages. During the last two decades, however, Gumi has evolved to an electronics industrial cluster with considerable local interfirm linkages and innovation activities of SMEs. Recognizing government industrial policies is critical in understanding the process of the evolution of Gumi electronics cluster. At the early stage, the state was the developer and locator of business activities within the confines of the Gumi industrial park. In recent years, central government's innovative cluster policy contributed to strengthening networks among firms, universities, and research centers to form local innovation networks as well as networks between large branch plants and SMEs. Gumi city and Gyungsangbuk-do promoted innovative activities of SMEs through the supports of cooperative networks between universities and SMEs. The increasing roles of SMEs and local governments in addition to the large branch plants and the central government have become the basis of the evolution of industrial cluster in Gumi.

The main purpose of this article is to suggest policy implications for building innovative cluster in Korea by investigating the operating system and role of the Kanagawa Science Park (KSP) located in Kanagawa prefecture, Japan as a central network agent. The KSP established mainly by private and government partnership has played a critical role for building innovative clusters as a way in which increase national competitiveness. But they also provide variety of real service from R&D to commercialization for local firms by facilitating and coordinating networks among regional economic actors such as firms, universities and public research institutes. The regional policy as a way in which increase national competitiveness in Korea is also the establishment of innovative clusters based on regional and industrial characteristics. However, the main problem with building the innovative cluster is the reduction of policy effectiveness due to duplicated supporting and coordinating institutes and institutions established by the each central administration and local governments, aimed at facilitating networks among regional economic actors. In this context, the article suggests that there is a need to build a regional central network agent by designing an organic operating system for the effective management of each network agent in accordance with the process from R&D to commercialization, i.e. an encompassed supporting system, on the basis of benchmarking the KSP operating system in Japan.
