In a knowledge economy, accelerating the pace of knowledge building and the rapid acquisition of knowledge are keys to innovative development. However, the development of the commercialization of research results and formation of new start-up companies are often not as active as they should be with a lack of motivation and incentive being one of the contributing factors for the failure to take action. In Taiwan and Japan, the reason that widely advocated idea of industry-academia collaboration is to help advance the technological capabilities of research and development as well as produce economic benefit. The assistance rendered by the government during the transformation and the assessment of outcomes from entrepreneurial pursuits are key issues explored in this study. The results indicate that the network system in the national innovation system is important for entrepreneurship development. The domestic market of Taiwan is not as large as Japan and new entrepreneurs have to face global market challenges.

This paper argues that the formation of regional integration frameworks can be best understood as a dominant state's attempt to create a preferred regional framework in which it can exercise exclusive influence. In this context, it is important to observe not only which countries are included in a regional framework, but also which countries are excluded from it. For example, the distinct feature of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) is its exclusion of China, and that of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) is its exclusion of the United States (US). An exclusion of a particular country does not mean that the excluded country will perpetually remain outside the framework. In fact, TPP may someday include China, resulting from a policy of the US "engaging" or "socializing" China rather than "balancing" against it. However, the first step of such a policy is to establish a regional framework from which the target country of engagement is excluded.

본 연구에서는 사회적 도전과제 해결을 임무로 설정하여 이론과 정책을 개발하고 있는 임무지향적 혁신정책론의 관점에서 사회문제 해결형 연구개발정책을 점검하고 그 시사점을 살펴본다. 이를 위해 시민사회의 참여, 정부의 동태적 능력의 확보, 선도적 투자와 후속 투자의 유도의 측면에서 '제2차 과학기술기반 사회문제 해결 종합계획'을 분석했다. 이 계획은 사회문제 해결형 혁신을 위한 시민참여의 제도화, 정부의 조정·통합능력 강화와 새로운 생태계 형성을 위한 제도들을 도입하고 있다. 그러나 기존 활동의 경로의존성이 있기 때문에 이를 넘어서기 위한 구체적인 프로그램이 요구되는 상황이다. 또 선도적인 투자를 이끌어내기 위해서는 커뮤니티 케어, 기후변화 대응과 같은 사회정책 분야의 전략 사업과 혁신정책을 통합적으로 전개하는 것이 필요하다.

Entrepreneurial financing, such as publicly initiated venture capital or grant schemes, serves as an important policy instrument that aims to bridge the financing gap facing young, innovative businesses, a gap that is mainly due to higher risk and growing uncertainty, and to strategically promote the creation of new ventures through the revitalization of their venture capital industries. This study examines public venture capital initiatives in Australia, Canada, and Sweden, and discovered that all three countries actively foster their venture capital industry through the formation of funds or the provision of tax incentives. It is notable that the majority of financing initiatives heavily depend on supply-side measures rather than demand-driven policies that focus on stimulating private investment in technological innovations and discoveries. This paper discusses in-depth the policy impact of public financing initiatives and their subsequent side-effects raised in the process such as overlapping in funding structure across the country, lack of monitoring and evaluation for feedback, fragmentation across the government ministries and agencies, and competition with the private sector, which may cause inefficiency as a result of public intervention. Financial constraints may arise for many reasons, partly resulting from the lack of investment readiness of young entrepreneurs. This signals a policy shift towards the creation of market-driven demand away from the traditional supply-push approach, and is a grand challenge to policymakers in entrepreneurial financing. Attention is leaning towards the efficiency and effectiveness of these public-financing initiatives in terms of their policy roles. It is worth noting that policy should focus on generating synergy so available resources can be channeled into the early, risky stage of new ventures, working as facilitator to the achievement of an intended policy goal.

이 연구는 연구장비 공동활용 정책의 꾸준한 시행에도 불구하고 저조한 공동활용의 원인이 정책집행이 현장관료 또는 정책대상자의 입장에서가 아니라 정책결정자의 시각에서 이루어져 왔다는 문제의식에서 시작하고 있다. 따라서 이 연구는 정책집행의 상향적 접근법에서 기초연구사업을 수행하는 현장 연구자들과 장비 관리자들을 대상으로 연구장비 공동활용의 현황을 분석하였다. 분석결과는 공동활용에 대한 연구 책임자들의 중요성 인식이 여전히 낮은 편이며, 실제의 공동활용 과정에서는 필요한 집행자원이 부족하며, 공동활용의 지속성을 확보하기 위한 일상적인 관리단계에서의 유인책도 충분하지 못한 것으로 나타나고 있다. 이에 따라 기초연구사업에서의 연구장비 공동활용을 증진하기 위한 정책대안을 관리단계별로 정책집행의 상향적 관점에서 유인도구와 정보도구 중심의 정책수단 도구들을 개발 논의하고자 노력하였다.

Developing countries face numerous challenges in the process of building science, technology, and research capacity; in particular, the formation and accumulation of skilled S&T workforce. The lack of organized and sustainable higher education options (Master and Doctoral programs), nonexistent or low-quality academic programs, and the absence of research-oriented study options are some of the strong contributors for talented students to emigrate to developed countries. At the same time, the consolidation of a global knowledge economy, the internationalization of higher education, and the competition to attract foreign talent in industrialized countries present challenges for underdeveloped nations to retain their already scarce skilled human resources. In this context, student mobility has been used as a policy mechanism to cope with S&T workforce shortages in S&T laggard nations. It has also enabled opportunities for international cooperation to play a key role. While significant literature has been devoted to studying the gains of developed nations with the arrival and potential migration of the mobilized students, few scholarly inquiries have addressed the benefits and losses experienced by their countries of origin. More importantly, limited research can be found on policy options and policy implications for developing countries to deal with the dilemmas presented by the brain-drain/brain-circulation debate. The goal of this article is to study empirical evidence of an international cooperation initiative for student mobility between the Republic of Korea and Guatemala (implemented during 2009-2015). The paper analyzes this particular international cooperation experience from the perspective of the different actors involved and attempts to draw policy implications and policy options for developing countries to deal with potential risks and gains derived from international mobility for their S&T capacity building.

This study aims to analyze the regional variations in which appear during the formation process of educational community in rural villages from the perspective of regional innovation theory. The study results revealed that the activities to form an educational community of the Songak village significantly influenced the variations across the social, economic and environmental aspects beyond an innovation of public education within the region based on interrelation between schools and villages. In other words, the activities including interactions and group learnings have been actively promoted among the various relevant stakeholders, thereby resulting in a variety of positive variations such as expanded regional welfare base, activated voluntary residents community gatherings based on the unity and cooperation, broadened socioeconomic opportunities, satisfaction on educational and cultural desires, and construction of healthy ecological environment in the region. Therefore, it is thought that regional development policy suitable for each region needs to be established by embracing the fact that activities to form a village educational community entail significant implication and value as the comprehensive regional innovation activities across the entire domains in each region.

소공인클러스터의 지원정책은 소공인클러스터의 지역적 특성을 반영해야 하지만, 유관기업의 통상적인 정보 수집을 기반으로 비슷한 정책만 내놓고 있다. 소공인클러스터의 지역적 특성이 파악이 안 되므로 지원정책에 반영이 되지 않고 있는 실정이다. 이에 본 연구는 소공인클러스터의 특성을 클러스터의 특징인 국지화, 네트워킹/착근성, 혁신시너지/집단학습의 형성요소로 분석하였으며, 분석된 형성요소를 기반으로 발달단계를 적용해 보았다. 같은 업종이어도 지역적 특성이 다를 수 있으므로, 서울시 의류봉제업의 대표적인 클러스터인 창신지역과 장위지역의 소공인클러스터를 지역적 특성과 발달단계로 비교 연구하였다. 의류봉제 소공인클러스터의 특성 분석 결과, 국지화에서 동종업체 집적은 창신지역이 장위지역보다 높게 나타났으며, 네트워킹/착근성에서 두 지역 모두 잘 형성되어 있었다. 하지만 혁신시너지/집단학습의 협업에서 창신지역은 디자이너 중심으로 장위지역은 소공인 중심으로 이루어져 있고, 박람회 및 세미나 참여와 샘플 및 제작에 있어 창신지역은 적극적인 반면 장위지역은 소극적으로 나타났다. 두 형성요소로 살펴본 결과, 두 지역의 소공인클러스터의 발달단계는 창신 의류봉제 소공인클러스터의 경우 산업지구를 넘어 혁신지구로 진행되고 있고, 장위 의류봉제 소공인클러스터는 산업지구에 머물러 있는 것으로 분석된다. 창신과 장위 의류봉제 소공인클러스터는 지속적인 성장을 위해서는 두 지역의 특성과 발달단계를 반영한 정부의 지원정책이 필요하다고 제언한다.
