Governments around the world place great hopes in innovation in their search for new sources of growth and for responses to grand challenges, such as climate change, new or re-emerging infectious diseases, accelerating urbanisation, ageing, food security, and availability of clean water. However they must devise their relevant support policies -- including through sponsored research within public research institutes -- taking into account that innovation processes are currently undergoing a major transformation. New innovation patterns include a broadening scope of relevant activities, a growing importance but changing nature of scientific roots of technological development, a stronger demand-pull, the emergence of new local and national STI powerhouses, and the rise of more open and globalised innovation networks. They translate into new opportunities but also constraints for policies to enhance the contribution of public research institutes to national innovation performance. The article derives the main policy implications regarding the desirable evolution of the mission, research focus, as well as the funding and steering of public research institutes, with a special reference to Korea.

Recent years have seen an intensified discussion in many OECD countries about the role and mission of public research in the innovation system. This discussion takes place in quite specific national contexts, but should benefit from international experience. However, whereas voluminous literatures address the changing governance methods, organizational forms and missions of universities, much less attention has been devoted to developing a common understanding of the challenges faced by non-university public research institutions. The main goals of this paper is to contribute to clarifying the nature of these challenges, outlines possible policy answers and draws some implications for Korea. In the first section, the paper uses available internationally comparable indicators to review trends in the contribution of government research institutes (GRIs) to R&D and innovation activities. In the second section, the paper identifies the current major changes in the dynamics of innovation that may call for further adjustments in the positioning, organization and steering of public research institutes. Finally, the paper outlines some strategic objectives and orientations for the reform of public research institutes as part of the broader agenda of the Korean innovation strategy.

6개 정책연구기관 홈페이지에서 웹자원을 정보자원으로 수집 제공하는 사례를 조사하고, 이들이 정책정보의 가치를 가진 웹자원으로 서비스 되는지를 내용분석법으로 분석하였다. 이를 위하여 정책연구기관에서 정책정보로 제공되는 웹자원을 4개 부문으로 구분 평가하였다. 평가는 내용, 디자인, 접근용이성, 메타데이터의 4개 부문의 10개 항목에서 이루어졌다. 평가결과, 내용에서 신뢰성, 최신성을 유지하고 있었으나 정보내용의 좀 더 충실한 기술이 요구되었다. 디자인에서 네비게이션과 검색기능은 우수하였으나 모든 기관에서 데드링크가 존재하였다. 접근용이성에서 3회 클릭으로 정보 접근이 가능하였으나 검색기능의 정확도를 높이기 위해 메타데이터의 종합적인 검토가 필요함을 발견하였다. 개선점으로 데드링크 해결방안, 메타데이터의 질적관리, 정책연구정보의 전문적이고 체계적인 관리방안, 정책연구정보포털시스템의 종합적인 관리체제를 제안하였다.

In the 21st century, the traffic culture is changing suddenly with the advent of high-speed train era so called the traffic revolution age. The policy management for inducing the creativity becomes important for research institutes since the research institutes play an important role for the lead and distribution of new technologies. Therefore, the approach strategy of this investigation is based on the viewpoint of the organizational culture for better performance of research and development through stimulating inducements of creativity and active action of members. A questionnaire survey was performed on five research institutes including a professional railway research institute (PRRI) and four industrial research institutes for the current research, and a development plan for organizational culture of a PRRI has been presented based on the comparison study between two different types of research institutes.

This study used a resource-based perspective to analyse the effects of organizational composition on the R&D performance of science and technology government-funded research institutes (GFRIs). We assumed that the composition of each GFRI would eventually be regarded as absorptive capacity and act as a moderating variable between R&D investment and performance. We used a panel generalized least squares (GLS) model with fixed effects to analyse panel data from 115 Korean GFRIs between 2011 and 2015. Our findings show that R&D investment of GFRIs has a direct and positive effect on performance. We also analysed how organizational composition can moderate the effect of R&D investment on performance. The findings provide evidence that organizational composition plays a moderating role between R&D investment and performance. Finally, this study discusses policy implications, its limitations, and also highlights future research directions.

Universities are considered important actors and drivers of socio-economic development in the regional innovation eco-system. This article investigates the role Kenyan universities and research institutes play in the development of regional innovation eco-system in the context of triple and Quadruple helices. A model involving Government, Industry, Universities and Society (Public) linkages in the regional innovation eco-system and with Information and Communication Technology as an enabler is used as a framework for analysing the nature of linkages in Kenya. The article uses literature review and case study methods to examine how universities and research institutes can spur the development of the innovation eco-systems. The research question is: what is the role of Kenyan universities and research institutes in spurring innovation ecosystems? Six cases of Kenyan universities and research institutes are considered in the light of Government Policy on Science, Technology and Innovation (STI) which is underpinned in Kenyan constitution 2010. The study contributes to the understanding of how deep collaboration among universities, government, research institutes, Science Cities, local, regional, national and international players spurs the creation of world-class innovation ecosystems which can contribute to regional development in developing countries like Kenya.

Gendered innovation in Science, Technology and Innovation, which seeks better science for both men and women by integrating sex and gender analysis, has become an important issue in the entire process of STI, as initiated by the European Commission, Canadian Institutes of Health Research in Canada and the National Institutes of Health in the United States. Korea has also attempted to reflect gendered innovations in Science and Technology as a critical factor in the 3rd and 4th National Plan, followed by the Act on Women Scientists and Engineers (2002). Against this background, the aim of this study is to prioritize the policy instruments regarding gendered innovation in Research and Development. Through the Focus Group Interview (FGI) and the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), this study attempts to set the priority among selected criteria, various types of policy instruments, and the applied research development area. As a result, this study shows the preparation of the relevant legal and institutional mechanisms for the full introduction of gendered innovation in S&T, and the importance of various policy instruments for S&T innovation in the fields of planning, budgeting, managing national R&D projects, evaluating and impact assessment, etc., being derived in a systematic way to ensure their effectiveness.
