Technology Readiness Levels were initially proposed by NASA in 1995. TRL's definition and range were modified within adopted feilds such as hardware and software products. Many national R&D programs have similar evaluation conditions. However, they are influenced by the experts' ability. Relatively, they have shown the little reliance and the low performance of the developed prototype and technology. The purpose of this study is to apply the TRL to the materials and components development program. We defined TRLs for the program and devided them in three technology fields. Proposals, which were submitted for the program in 2007, were assessed with our TRL definitions for the study on the applicability. As a result, we could understand the characteristic TRLs of the technical proposals to the materials and components development program. This shows that the objective tools such as TRLs are required as the R&D program management factors. For the sake, it is the important factor that the detail directives to assess TRL should be developed according to the branches of industrial technology fields.

The prinary cause of the decreasing SME's competitiveness in technology is the intensifying human resource shortages. The government supports a part of labor costs for SMEs as a means of policy. There are two ways of supporting labor costs for R&D personnel. One is to hire R&D personnel first then support their partial labor costs. The other is to support labor costs first for R&D personnel in national R&D programs then hire R&D personnel. This study analyzes the effectiveness of two different ways by classifying sales, no. of employees, R&D expenditure, no. of researchers, and no. of MA/Ph.D. researchers. In terms of employing researchers with MA or Ph.D., the effectiveness on employment subsidy is significantly higher than that of R&D subsidy. Its effect has been relatively high in non-metropolitan areas and manufacturing industry.

In recent years, the development of weapons systems in the field of defense research and development has become increasingly large, complex, and long-term, and so have budgets and the time spans involved. In order to improve this, the Weapon Systems Requirement Verification Committee, which benchmarked the preliminary feasibility of the private sector, was established to verify the appropriateness of requirements, and the necessity and priority of the projects. This research proposes a methodology for analyzing and prioritizing proposed weapons systems for effective and strategic allocation of defense budget funding. First, the evaluation factors that can be used in the defense sector were assessed by analyzing the related fields. We set the weighting of items by using the analytical hierarchy process for technical risk assessment and technical profitability evaluation. After that, we applied the methodology to 32 weapons systems and analyzed the results. In conclusion, through this study, it was possible to analyze profitability dimensions overlooked in the existing methodology.

중소기업청이 '2014년도 중소기업 정책자금 운용계획'을 발표했다. 올해 정책자금 예산규모는 3조 8200억 원으로, 지난해의 예산규모(3조 8500억 원) 대비 소폭 줄었다. 중소기업의 투자촉진을 위한 시설투자 자금인 신성장자금이 전년 대비 2000억 원 확대된 8350억 원이 배정됐다. 청년창업활성화를 위한 청년창업전용자금과 재기 중소기업인을 위한 재창업자금 규모도 각각 1500억 원, 500억 원으로 전년 대비 170억 원, 100억 원 늘었다. 일자리 창출기업에 대한 우대금리도 확대했다. 기존에는 지원업체 중 추가 고용 1인당 0.1%포인트씩 최대 1.0%포인트 금리를 인하했지만, 올해는 금리 인하 한도를 2.0%포인트까지 늘렸다. 10명 이상 고용을 창출한 기업은 개별기업 융자한도(45억원)에 예외를 적용해 70억 원까지 대출 가능하다. 창업촉진을 위해 창업자금 지원기업의 업력을 기존 5년에서 7년으로 확대하고, 청년전용 창업자금의 대출기간을 3년에서 5년으로 연장했다. 창업자금의 가산금리 조건부 연대보증 면제 대상 조건도 기존 기업평가등급 4등급 이상에서 5등급 이상으로 완화했다. 또한 중소기업 성장사다리 구축을 위해 기술 사업성 우수기업의 장기 시설투자지원 전용자금을 신설, 중소기업진흥공단의 기업평가 우수기업에게 만기 15년 이내의 장기대출을 지원한다. 글로벌 성장사다리 선정기업에 대해서는 수출금융지원자금 대출 한도를 기존 10억 원에서 30억 원까지 확대한다. 이밖에도 소상공인을 위한 소공인특화자금의 시설자금 대출기간을 5년에서 8년으로 연장하고, 유턴기업의 사업장 신 증설 등을 위한 융자금을 최대 70억원까지 지원한다. 중기청 소관 R&D사업 성공기업을 위한 전용자금을 500억원 규모로 운용해 R&D 기업의 성공률을 제고하기로 했다. 올해 정책자금 금리는 민간 금융권의 저금리 기조를 고려, 1분기 정책자금 기준금리를 전 분기(3.57%) 보다 낮은 3.29%로 운영하기로 했다. 또 중소기업인들이 정책자금 신청 등에 어려움이 있었다는 지적에 따라, 올해부터 매월 1일부터 20일까지 중진공 홈페이지(www.sbc.or.kr)를 통해 온라인으로 신청받기로 했다. 제3자의 도움 없이도 손쉽게 자금을 이용할 수 있도록 신청서류를 간소화하고, 중진공 각 지역본(지부)에 융자신청 도우미를 배치할 방침이다.

The Ministry of Science, ICT and Future Planning (MSIP) introduced its new Mission Oriented Evaluation System (MOES) for government affiliated research institutes and Government Supported Research Institutes (GSRI) on science and technology in 2013. The Korea Institute of Geoscience and Mineral Resources (KIGAM) is the first MOES applied Science and Technology (S&T) GSRI, that has research divisions focusing on geoscience and geological surveys, mineral resources extraction and utilization, petroleum extraction and marine mineral research, and geological applied and environment research. In appling the final evaluation of MOES on KIGAM, we found difficulty classifing the concepts of research excellence and risk (innovativeness) in guidelines of Research Evaluation Indicators (REIs) of MSIP. We have developed quantitative and qualitative indicators that can present research excellence and risk (innovativeness) through the KIGAM World Class Laboratory (WCL) strategy and related studies, innovative research and development guidelines of MSIP (2013a) and honorable R&D failure guidelines of MSIP (2013b). We have applied our developed REIs in KIGAM which handles basic research, applied and development research and public services. Therefore, our developed REIs can be effectively applied in every S&T GSRI.

A stream serve the functions of different water utilization, flood control, and the environment, and contributes to the development of national life and culture. On the other hand, it is difficult to efficiently evaluate various projects, such as effectiveness verification and comparison between projects, because the evaluation procedures and evaluation techniques of projects are not uniform and different for each institution. Therefore, a standardization technology was developed for a post-assessment of stream projects that can recognize stream problems and comprehensively evaluate stream-related projects. To this end, various projects, such as project evaluation techniques, national R&D projects, and social welfare projects, were compared and analyzed, and the standardization stages of the project were first suggested. In addition, based on the standardization stage, the evaluation indices for each stage were derived to develop an evaluation table that can evaluate stream-related projects comprehensively. Finally, it is possible to prevent the repeated use of failure factors in the planned projects.

This paper aims to explore the relationship between organizational competencies and performance by analysing perception survey data of R&D management agencies in Korea. The regression analysis results show the perceived performance measured by policy contribution and R&D management efficiency may be enhanced by organizational competencies such as professionalism and efficiency of R&D management specialized agencies. The paper suggests several improvement measures for strengthening professionalism of R&D management agencies in Korea. First, expertise competencies for strategic planning, management, evaluation need to be empowered in the whole process of R&D cycles. Second, in order to stabilize financial resources of R&D management specialized agencies, the existing R&D budget for Planing, Evaluation and Management should be reformed. Third, R&D management specialized agencies need setting up special organizations for managing inter-organizational collaboration with other R&D organizations. And the agencies should employ special experts in each position for strategic planning, management, evaluation, performance and commercialization. Finally, different R&D management procedures of each R&D management specialized agency need to be standardized in order to promote innovative R&D culture.
