This paper introduces the technology roadmapping process. As a needs-driven technology planning tool, technology roadmapping can help identify and select technology alternatives to meet a set of market needs. Thus, it allows increasingly limited R&D investments to be used more efficiently. In this contribution we classify the technology roadmap on the basis of literature review and case survey, and provide the technology roadmapping process.

현재 우리나라 혁신시스템은 기존의 성장 및 기술공급 위주의 발전전략이 한계를 노정하면서 새로운 전환기를 맞고 있다. 이에 새로운 혁신 경로 창출을 위한 과학기술 ICT 정책 패러다임 전환은 물론 지속가능한 에너지, 농업 농촌 등 다양한 영역에서의 시스템 전환이 필요한 상황이다. 이를 위해서는 과학기술 ICT와 에너지 환경 등 관련 분야 간의 연계 통합은 물론, 기술이 활용 확산되는 현장이나 사회, 사용자의 이해가 더욱 중요해진다. 리빙랩은 사용자 참여를 기반으로 하는 새로운 혁신모델이자 지속가능한 시스템 전환의 니치 실험으로서 최근 유럽을 중심으로 부각되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 과학기술 ICT가 에너지 전환, 농업 농촌 시스템 전환, ICT 정책 패러다임의 전환에 적용된 리빙랩 사례를 살펴보고 우리나라에서의 시사점을 도출하였다. 유럽의 SusLab 프로젝트, C@R 프로그램, 대만의 리빙랩 사례 모두 사전기획 단계부터 지역 사용자의 배경과 경험을 적극적으로 수집하고, 사용자 주도의 혁신활동을 개발프로세스 전반에서 유지함으로써 적실성있는 문제해결은 물론 다양한 전환 실험을 성공적으로 추진하였다. 이러한 결과는 중앙정부와 지자체의 R&D사업에서 각각 리빙랩의 도입을 검토하는 우리나라에 다양한 시사점을 제공한다. 리빙랩은 국가 또는 지역 전반의 사회 기술시스템의 전환을 위한 전략적 니치 실험, 정책 간 연계통합의 수단, 새로운 지역혁신 모델로 활용될 수 있다. 또한 최근 혁신정책 패러다임에서 강조하고 있는 사용자 및 수요 측면을 반영한 정책통합을 실현할 수 있는 중요한 플랫폼이 될 수 있다.

Studies on technological innovation of SMEs have made remarkable growth both qualitatively and quantitatively, but each study has a limitation to generalize due to lack of data, diversity of methodologies and variables. Therefore, a systematic and comprehensive statistical approach to obtain generalized conclusions through numerous empirical studies can help both the strategic decision making of SMEs and the government's innovation policies. The purpose of this study is to comprehensively analyze the technological innovation process of SMEs through meta-analysis. For this, the antecedents of technological innovation, the relationship between technological innovation and management performance of SMEs were analyzed. The results of using 62,512 samples from 111 domestic empirical studies were as follows; First, to improve the technological innovation of SMEs, internal cooperation, innovation culture, dynamic capabilities, and absorptive capacity were important antecedents. Second, in terms of IP performance, which was introduced as a proxy for technological innovation, human resource management, technological opportunities, commercialization capabilities, financial resources, and R&D expenditure. Third, technological innovation has a medium-sized effect on financial performance, however the effect of IP performance has a small effect size. Lastly, in the relationship between technological innovation and financial performance, the method of measurement and publication type showed statistically significant moderating effects.

This study developed a model to evaluate the quality management system of a medical device manufacturing company, and applied it to medical device manufacturers to understand the impact on business performance in response to international regulations and industry's change. This study prepared preliminary items, defined four (4) major factors (Plan-Do-Check-Act) that consist of the evaluation layers and items per category according to prior research review and expert interview, and calculated the weight and importance using AHP. The study results showed that responsibility & authority and quality objective in Planning Category, product-related requirement and R&D in Doing Category, Measuring and monitoring in Check Category, and review of meeting Regulatory and regulation in Action Category are relatively more important factors. The evaluation model developed based on the calculated weight and importance to business performance was applied to medical device manufacturers to investigate and analyze the implementation level of QMS and its impact on business performance according to each category. Most medical device manufacturers to be studied showed a reasonable level of QMS and effective business performance. Almost all the evaluation layers and items in the four (4) factors had a significant influence on business performance. Although the medical device quality management system is aimed mainly at license acquisition, it is important that management environment factors not related directly to licensing and authorization are important to business performance, and it is effective when these factors are integrated and operated within and outside the manufacturer.

Recently, interest in emotional technology has escalated and its application has extended to many fields, from both an industrial (product) and service (culture, tourism, medical, education, advertising) perspective. Moreover, culture has become a fundamental aspect of modern industry, playing key roles in: gaming, exhibitions, performances, sports, tourism, design, edutainment, as well as various content distribution industries. The prospect of applying emotional technology for cultural content industries makes up for more than half of the 'plan-manufacture-distribution-marketing' process, and thereby also serves as driving force for the growth of a nation. The primary objective of the following research is analyze successful cases from the past through utilization of emotional technology, and to speculate on efficient directions for future research into developing emotional contents. To achieve this, some of the key terms have been defined and elaborated for the sake of clarity. The terms are as follows: emotion, emotion engineering, science of emotion, emotional technology, and emotional contents. Furthermore, studies were conducted based on the six different fields surrounding CT R&D to observe how projects involving emotional technology have succeeded both on a national and global scale. Based on this analysis, this research aims to develop personalized 'Concierge' service-providing contents, contents designed to maximize performance ability of humans, and contents that could be controlled simply via emotion to effectively spread the culture of Korea by focussing on 'fusion' content development. The following research data may hopefully serve as a basic reference to industries navigating towards emotional content development.
