The purpose of this paper is to give policy implications for relevant policy-makers by analyzing factors affecting performance of industrial R&D programs of the Ministry of Knowledge Economy. The independent variables are type of project leader organization(Big Enterprises, SMEs, Ventures Businesses, Public Research Institutions, Universities), cooperative or noncooperative R&D among industry-university-research institution, total number of project participant organization, total R&D investment, and the ratio of private investment to total R&D investment. The dependent variables are domestic or foreign patents granted and domestic or foreign papers accepted. The method of analysis is Poisson Regression analysis operated by STATA. The results of this research are follows ; Universities show higher R&D performance compared to enterprises or public research institutions in terms of patents and papers as well. Venture businesses show higher patent performance compared to SMEs. Inverted U-shaped relationship between total number of project participant organization and R&D performance is not supported. The higher total R&D investment, the higher R&D performance. The higher the ratio of private investment to total R&D investment, the higher R&D performance.

Although the investment scale and the qualitative performance of national research and development project in Korea have been increased, the practical use of the performance is still insignificant. Thus it becomes more important to understand and analyze factors that affect commercialization of national R&D project. Most of prior literatures have done with qualitative research rather than data-based analysis; however, mostly focusing on influential factors in between R&D inputs and outputs and it remains as limitation. The important key to avoid the limitation in this study is using data-based analysis of factors (such as research performance, types of research institution, scale of the government fund, project structure, competency in the researcher, and technical field) that affect commercialization with the case of the Competitiveness Enhancement in Material and Component Industries. As a result, patents performance, scale of the government fund, and technical field turned out to be influential factors of commercialization. On the other hand, research performance, types of research institution, project structure, and competency in the researcher did not show statistically significant results. To increase commercialization in project scheme, process, and assessment of national R&D project, including the Competitiveness Enhancement in Material and Component Industries project, it is required to design scientific research with better understanding of causal relationship.

In this study, we attempt to identify factors that influence the performances of Korean firms regarding global R&D cooperation, and to derive policy implications for performance improvement. The hypothetic influential factors include firms' general characteristics, purposes and types of cooperation, technology, partners and their countries, and government support. We categorize the performances of global R&D cooperation into technological, economic, and strategic performance, and analyze the effects of those factors on each of the performances as well as the overall performance. We use a standard tobit model for the overall performance, while using a multivariate tobit model for the other performances to reflect the possible correlations among them. The survey data was collected from 162 Korean firms that had previously conducted or were currently conducting global R&D cooperation.

The purpose of this study is to examine the influence of variable cash compensation depending on short-term performances instead of stock compensation for the executives on the investment in tangible assets, investment and R&D, and profit reconciliation. The detailed objectives of the study include, first, to examine the influence of the cash compensation on investment in tangible assets and profit reconciliation depending on the characteristics of the company and, second, to examine the influence of cash compensation on the profit reconciliation of the investment in R&D depending on the characteristics of the company. The results of the analysis in this study can be summarized as follows; Firstly, the result of the positive analysis, as the compensation for the executives increased, by the characteristics of the companies conducted on the significant 'positive' (+) on the investment in R&D and the profits reconciliation showed that the high tech industry and the share ratio of the executives did not show a significant result, while the debt ratio showed a significantly positive result. Secondly, the result of the positive analysis, as the compensation for the executives increased, by the characteristics of the companieson the significant 'positive' (+) of the investment in tangible assets and reconciliation of profits showed that the high-tech industry did not show a significant result, while the hypothesis on the share ratio of the executives and the hypothesis on the debt ratio showed results that are significantly positive as expected. In other words, it can help Korean companies, which have to investment in R&D and tangible assets to increase their competitiveness and promote future growth dynamics, to design a manager compensation system that is appropriate for our country to support efficient investment decision-making.

The growth of disaster/accident damage costs and related industries has increased the necessity of scientific and objective performance analysis for fire suppression and disaster management R&D projects. Most of R&D performance are both academic and public performance according to fire suppression and disaster management R&D projects during the period of 2004 to 2011. This research identified characteristics of performance types by research project teams and research development stages. The research outcome shows the usefulness of relevant performance objective settings by project teams, the evaluation of scientific technology fields, and proper research teams in research team selection process, considering research outcome characteristics by both research teams and research development stages. In addition, this research reveals the applicability of research outcomes to research performance management. This research suggests further studies for evaluation process and methods for including fire suppression and disaster management characteristics to the evaluation process.

본 연구는 IT 기업의 R&D활동의 성과를 파악하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 공공 R&D의 성과에 대한 연구는 상당부분 진척이 이루어졌으나, 경제의 주체인 민간기업의 R&D 활동에 대한 연구는 부족한 실정이다. 이 연구목적을 위하여, 기업의 재무자료를 이용하여 R&D투자액을 집계하였으며, IT기업의 경영성과도 분석하였다. 분석한 결과를 간단하게 요약하면, 다음과 같다. 첫째, IT기업은 대기업의 R&D투자 비중이 $93.6\%$에 달한다. IT R&D 투자 상위 10개 기업이 IT 산업에서 매출액의 $71\%$, 종업원의 $61\%,$ R&D 투자의 $87\%$를 차지한다. 둘째, 기업의 투자활동은 선택과 집중의 원칙에 따라 R&D 투자에 주력하는 경향이 강해졌다. 유형자산투자는 급격한 감소를 보이는 반면, R&D투자는 증가하고 있다. 셋째, IT 중소기업의 R&D투자는 한계가 있을 수밖에 없다. 본 연구에서 나타난 분석결과의 시사점을 보면, IT 중소기업의 R&D 투자는 한계가 있을 수밖에 없다. 따라서 중소기업의 R&D투자의 효율성을 높여주는 한편, 미래성장의 seed에 대한 준비와 단기 개발연구를 통해 기업의 수익에 기여할 수 있도록 해야 할 것이다. 또한 IT 대기업과 중소기업의 R&D에 대한 효율적인 네트워크를 구축하는 것도 IT기업의 활성화를 위해 요구된다.

정부는 R&D 재원의 전략적인 투자를 위해 199년에 국가과학기술위원회를 설치한 이후, R&D 예산 배분 조정을 지속적으로 추진하면서 개별 사업에 대한 예산조정 이전에 투자우선순위를 설정하였다. 그러나 그간의 투자우선순위 설정은 중장기 투자전략, 기본계획 등을 근거로 하기 때문에 중점적으로 투자해야 할 기술분야에 대해 정성적인 언급에만 머무를 수밖에 없고, 현재 연구트렌드를 반영하기 어려위 실제 R&D 예산 배분 시 구체적인 연계성이 부족한 실정이다. 이에 본 논문에서는 나노분야 R&D를 중심으로 키워드를 활용한 트렌드 분석을 통해 정부 R&D 예산 배분의 전략성을 제고할 수 있으며, 사업의 투자규모를 설정하는데 있어 투자우선순위와의 연관도를 높이는 방안을 제시하고자 한다.

This study tested the hypothesis from the previous research issues and empirically investigated the determinants of cooperative strategy for technological innovation, using the multinomial logit model. The meaningful conclusions from this study are as follows. First, the characteristics of the company and product are not the significant determinants for cooperative strategy for technological innovation. Second, formal R&D organization characteristics are significant factors in determining the type of cooperative strategy for technological innovation. Third, the support of government is a significant determinant and if a company receives more government support, it is likely to accept public type cooperation. Fourth, the characteristics of industry are significant determinants and if a company belongs to a higher technology industry, it is likely to accept vertical type cooperation with private enterprises. This study analyzed the hypotheses raised in a variety of studies empirically. This paper presents the basis of various studies concerning technological cooperation strategies.

Small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) have strong incentives to engage in open innovation to enhance innovation efficiency and effectiveness due to their 'liability of smallness.' Previous research examined the performance effects of various open innovation practices, but whether coupled open innovation practices positively affect SMEs' firm performance is somewhat controversial. To resolve the issue, this study examined the effects of coupled open innovation activities on SMEs' firm performance using Heckman's two stage model to control endogeneity of the firms' self-selection bias in open innovation engagement. This study used the Korean Innovation Survey (KIS) 2020 collected by the Science and Technology Policy Institute (STEPI), and tested the effects of SMEs' coupled open innovation activities, R&D and non-R&D cooperation, on their innovative and financial performance indicators. The results showed that SMEs' R&D cooperation positively affects the new-to-market (NTM) product innovation only. Moreover, SMEs' non-R&D cooperation has positive effects on the product innovation, business process innovation, new-to-the-market product innovation, and new-to-firm (NTF) product innovation. However, the results showed that both R&D and non-R&D innovation cooperation activities have no significant effects on SMEs' financial performance indicators. This study contributes to research on SMEs' open innovation and provides insights for SMEs' managers and policymakers.
