Firms must focus on innovative activities via R&D investment in order to secure competitive advantage and sustainable growth. However, their innovative activities do not always result in successful outcomes and are often obstructed by uncertainty and non-appropriability of technology being developed and by insufficient internal resources and capabilities to tap into it. In this situation, collaboration with external partners can be a part of good alternative strategy to solve those problems. This paper aims to analyze what factors lead to Korean manufacturing companies’ decision to collaborate with external partners for technology innovation. For empirical analysis, we used the Korean Innovation Data compiled by STEPI, government-funded research institute in Korea. The research findings are: 1) firms tend to participate in external collaboration for product innovation with greater firm size, more past collaboration experiences and when they belong to high-tech industries 2) unlike our expectation, our chosen ‘innovation-impeding’ factors are found not to contribute to the enhancement of collaboration for product innovation.

Collaborative technology development is now one of the most significant modes of activity in the global scientific community. However, the international cooperation of science and technology simultaneously provides opportunities and challenges, and the results of global R&D collaboration can be positive or negative as the cooperation conditions of the parties may be different according to the types or characteristics of the participants and the pattern, purpose, and motivation of cooperation. In order to minimize the risk and improve the performance of cooperation, more comprehensive as well as micro-level research is needed. This study investigates a case of successful collaborative R&D conducted by several firms, universities, and public research organizations in both Korea and the U.S.A. The aim of this study is to identify the factors of successful R&D collaboration.

R&D (Research and Development) investment by companies and the government continues to increase, and the total R&D expenditure of public and private sectors in 2021 reached KRW 102 trillion, and the ratio of R&D investment to GDP was 4.96%. It ranks second in the world after Israel. This study analyzes the current status of the domestic R&D service industry and the research and development (R&D) innovation ecosystem based on the business activity survey data of the National Statistical Office in terms of improving R&D productivity of domestic R&D investment that has exceeded 100 trillion won, and analyzes the global R&D service industry and analyzes the global research service industry and R&D service Industry support government policy As a result of the analysis, in the domestic R&D ecosystem, the R&D outsourcing demand of service companies is rapidly increasing, compared to the stagnant R&D outsourcing demand of traditional manufacturing companies. In order to respond to these changing demands for technological innovation, this study suggests balanced support for R&D outsourcing for manufacturing and service companies, expansion of domestic R&D outsourcing, establishment of R&D outsourcing strategies specialized for the service industry, establishment of an open R&D ecosystem, and innovation in connection with materials/parts/equipment strategies.

This paper examines the relationship between ownership structure and the intensity of R&D expenditures of a firm by analyzing the panel data composed of 553 manufacturing firms in KSE(Korea Stock Exchange) and KOSDAQ listed firms for the period of 2007-2014. The major findings are as follows; (1) Regarding the relationship between CEO stockholding and R&D intensity, we find the inverted-U shape relationship in KOSDAQ firms, consistent with the theoretical discussion and empirical studies on U.S. firms. The result suggests that management stockholding reduces agency problem at the R&D margin. On the contrary, the insignificant result in KSE firms seems to be due to the scant stockholding of most 'non-owner' CEOs. (2) Regarding the relationship between the largest shareholder's portion and R&D intensity, KSE firms exhibit negatively significant relationship, suggesting the existence of serious agency problem between the largest shareholder and the minor shareholders. This agency problem seems to be alleviated in KOSDAQ firms mainly because the founders with technology expertise are still in charge of the business. (3) Foreign investors seem to fail in effectively encouraging R&D expenditures in either KSE or KOSDAQ listed firms. This study contributes to the existing literature by showing for the first time that ownership structure affects R&D activities in different ways between KSE and KOSDAQ firms.

Recently, R&D policy has importantly emphasized the creation of economic values added through the research performance developed by public research institutes. However, the research performance hasn't been still used and diffused effectively in Korea (Republic of Korea). This empirical study analyzes the effects of performance management & application capabilities and activities on technology transfer from public research institutes in Korea. Our dataset consists of total 84 Korean universities and government-funded research institutes in 2011. Performance management & application capabilities include dedicated organization, researcher-to-professional ratio, technology transfer and commercialization budget, and performance management & application activities include regular conduct of 3P analysis, pre-adjustment, post-management. The results show that performance management & application capabilities (except researcher-to-professional ratio) and activities are positively related to technology transfer. The results of this study contribute to the establishment of R&D policy to promote management & application of the research performance.

This paper empirically examines the relationship between a firm's external technology acquisition and in-house R&D in Korean manufacturing sectors. Using the technology innovation survey conducted by the Korean government in 2002, and developing a semi-structural empirical model, we find that the firm's in-house R&D and technology acquisition have a complementary relationship: A firm's technology acquisition increases in its in-house R&D. Moreover, government R&D funding and tax incentives have positive effects on the in-house R&D, while the existence of the failed projects encourage a firm to acquire more external technologies.

21세기의 무한 경쟁 환경에서 기업의 생존은 고객 만족에 의해 좌우된다고 해도 과언이 아니다. 한편, 고객 만족을 달성하기 위해서는 고객의 욕구가 어떻게 변화하고 있는가를 충실히 파악하여야 한다. 헌재의 고객은 제품의 기본 기능과 가격 똥의 요소뿐만 아니라, 제품의 품질, 특히 신뢰성에 매우 민감한 반응을 보이고 있으며, 각 기업은 이러한 추세를 반영하여 제품의 보증기간을 경쟁적으로 연장하고 있다. 신뢰성이란 제품이 얼마나 오랫동안 고장 없이 의도한 기능을 발휘할 수 있는가를 나타낸다. 즉, 신뢰성이란 시간적 품질을 의미하며 제품이 충분한 신뢰성을 가지고 있지 못할 경우, 과도한 클레임으로 인한 보증비용의 증가와 같은 단기적인 손해뿐만 아니라, 고객 불만족, 고객 이탈, 기업 경쟁력 상실 통으로 야기되는 장기적인 손실에 이르기까지 매우 큰 피해를 감수해야 한다. 따라서 제품의 신뢰성은 기업의 생존과 경쟁력 우위를 확보하기 위한 중요한 전략적 요소로 다루어 져야 한다. 신뢰성 활동은 크게 신뢰성 평가와 신뢰성 설계 두 가지로 나눌 수 있다. 전자는 현재 개발 또는 양산 중인 제품의 신뢰성 수준이 어느 정토인가를 파악하자 하는 활동이며, 후자는 제품에 신뢰성을 높이기 위한 일련의 활동을 포함한다. 한편, 신뢰성 평가는 모든 신뢰성 업무에서 앞서 선행적으로 이루어 져야 하는 기초적 활동이며, 본 과제에서는 자사의 전자식 전력량계(LSEW12)와 디지털 보호계전기(GIPAM2200)를 대상으로 신뢰성 평가에 관한 연구를 수행하였다.

The Seoul Metropolitan Government and the Ministry of Science, ICT, and Future Planning(MSIP) are promoting the creation of "R & CD clusters" in the Yangje area as a base for future growth engines that will lead the fourth industry. The Yangje area has many large enterprise research institutes and ICT SMEs, and is located in the south part of Seoul and has geographical advantages such as traffic, education, and leisure life. As an initial research for the successful cluster of the Yangje area, quantitative analysis was carried out to identify the status of ICT SMEs in Yangje area using the Korean company information DB and contents of "Korea SMTp 2017 DVD ROM". Qualitative analysis conducted a questionnaire from December 8, 2016 to January 7, 2017 to investigate the R & D activities of ICT companies. Finally, implications for strengthening the R & D capacity of ICT firms in Yangjae area were derived.
