Emphasizing the importance of R&D as a source of open innovation, Korean government is developing various programs focused on technology commercialization and is expanding investment on it. In spite of those efforts, technology commercialization is not vitalized yet due to the lack of demand for technology transfer, R&D planning scheme without considering market, immaturity of technology market, and so on. This study aims to suggest the business ecosystem model so that technology commercialization could be facilitated based on business ecosystem perspective. We set the framework for modeling a business ecosystem through reviewing the previous works, and draw several problems to be solved regarding public R&D commercialization in Korea from the perspective of ecosystem. Considering those, this research proposes the business ecosystem model for public R&D commercialization as a reference model for describing, discussing, and developing the technology commercialization strategy. The proposed model consists of 4 domains as follows: R&D, technology market, information distribution channels, and customers. The business ecosystem model shows that technology commercialization could be facilitated to create the market value through close relationship and organic cooperation among its members that form the ecosystem. Public research institutes as a keystone player could control the fate of the ecosystem. In this regard, this paper suggests roles of public research institutes for evolving the business ecosystem.

Korean government has granted fixed indirect cost rates to several exceptional R&D programs which is lower than the predetermined rate by the government. It has been needed to evaluate the validity of exceptional R&D programs and determine the optimal indirect costs rate of the programs. This study analyzes the cost structure and explores drivers of indirect costs of exceptional R&D programs and evaluates the validity of current indirect costs rates. Finally, we propose the formulas for indirect costs rates of exceptional R&D programs. We analyze the cost structure of the exceptional R&D programs. Equipments and material costs are 50% in infra building program. Scholarship to students is 43% in HRD program. Equipments and material costs are 50% and R&D activity costs are 31% in international R&D program. Main cost components of evaluation program are salary(37%), R&D execution costs(21%) and R&D activity costs(19%). We propose three formulas of indirect costs for exceptional programs. 1) The cost items with exceptionally large amount are excluded in the base of formula for indirect costs. 2) Fixed indirect cost rate is applied for specific R&D programs. 3) Upper bound is set for the cost items with exceptionally large amount in the calculation of indirect costs rate. Our proposal is expected to contribute to the improvement of the efficiency of national R&D programs.

R&D institutes, supporting development in industry, are required to provide an economic basis of their R&D investments. In this paper, we apply prospective cost-benefit analysis to evaluate the economic impact of R&D investments. We compute main metrics with cost and benefit estimated via counter-factual evaluation model. Among many projects of KRISS to improve measurement reliability, three projects are evaluated by applying prospective cost-benefit analysis.

The Korean government's recent R&D policy has focused on encouraging government-funded research institutes (GRIs) to develop mid-term, long-term, and large-scale R&D projects. It is necessary to prepare thoroughly for the new R&D strategy, but there is no systematic accumulation of planning expertise, and there has been continued demand for good examples of research planning. Therefore, this study analyzes the reports of preliminary feasibility for government R&D programs through a meta-analysis of detailed evaluation items and contents to help researchers enhance their project-planning ability. The evaluation items that can be applied to R&D planning for GRI were reviewed, and twelve detailed evaluation items were selected through content analysis. The results of this study could contribute to practical R&D project planning and the improvement of evaluations.

Nowaday, management of research and development(R&D) projects is focused on promotion of performance-centric R&D by market and customer-oriented R&D and commercialization, and this tendency is also appeared in national R&D projects. For the commercialization of R&D outcomes, market demand-centric R&D, establishment of commercialization plan in R&D planning and carrying out phase, and communication with external stakeholders are needed, and these activities can be performed more effectively by developing business model. However, systematical procedure for developing business model in national R&D environment haven't suggested by prior researches. Therefore, we propose a business model development system that is reflect characteristics of national R&D environment and perspectives of technology researchers and commercialization experts. Research result is expected to be usefully applied as a guideline for developing business model in national R&D projects.

국가의 미래지향적 정책을 위해서는 무엇보다도 이를 선도해나아갈 핵심인재의 확보가 매우 중요하다. 이러한 핵심인재 확보를 위해 각 부처에서는 지역 R&D 인력양성과 관련된 사업이 진행 중에 있다. 지역 R&D 인력양성사업의 전담기관은 시기와 목적에 따라 변경될 수 있으며, 변경될 때마다 사업목적과 수단이 부합하는지를 점검하기 위하여 사업성과를 객관적으로 분석 및 평가하고 그 결과를 새로운 사업계획 설계에 반영할 필요성이 제기되어 왔다. 그러나, 지역 R&D 인력양성사업은 전담기관 및 사업의 성격에 따라 성과분석 모형을 다르게 적용해 왔으며, 객관적 성과 분석 프레임워크가 부재하다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 인력양성사업의 특성을 파악하여 객관적으로 분석 및 평가에 활용할 수 있는 성과 분석 모형을 설계하고자 한다.

The aim of this study were to investigate the process of national R&D project planning by using the industry quantitative analysis(especially supply-chain enterprise ananlysis). In the selection process of funding project, the role and significance of the industry analysis can be identified as the effective guideline of using this methodology. Across the study, the following is noted : the factors of R&D effectiveness and R&D necessity are found reliable and valid. On the other hand, the emptiness of supply chain and the positive effect of foreign trade balance did not influence the selection of project. The information gained from this study will help us to define better expectations and industry analysis employing to the National R&D Project Planning.

This study analyzes the effectiveness of government supported R&D program for SMEs by measuring TFP improvements. We estimate TFP for Korean companies from 2011 to 2018 using Levinsohn and Petrin (2003) method which reduces endogenous problem. Then government R&D beneficiary companies were extracted from the NTIS and linked to TFP estimates. The empirical results are as follows. First, as a result of estimating production function, the contribution of TFP to value-added is more important than in the past. Second, the TFP gap between large firms and SMEs continues to wide and there is no sign of easing.(from 3.72 times in 2011 to 5.23 times in 2018). Third, SMEs beneficiaries show higher TFP level than non-beneficiaries. However their TFP was on the decline until government support. After government supported R&D program, it reverses upward. Fourth, although one-year TFP improvement of beneficiaries is bigger than non-beneficiaries, it is smaller than the control group through PSME. Because SMEs participating in government R&D programs had showed downward trend of TFP until R&D program, it is necessary to examine whether there is a fundamental discordance between the demand of SMEs for R&D program and governments policy goal. More sophisticated program design will be required to escape the recognition that government R&D programs for SMEs are just charity.

Preliminary feasibility study(PFS) was introduced in 1999 by financial authority to encourage a cautious approach to new large-scale public investment project. As it applied cost-benefit analysis as prime measure for decision-making, various issues have been arisen concerning feasibility analysis on R&D programs. This work is intended to suggest standard approaches to be established in PFS on R&D program as follows: 1. The issue questions can be induced in a standard way by 15 representative questions and their correlation with evaluation criteria. 2. The analyzing strategy can be standardized by establishing standards for classification of R&D effects and R&D logic analysis.

Recently, coordination task of similarity between national R&D programs is emphasized on view from the R&D investment efficiency. But the previous similarity search method like text-based similarity search which using keyword of R&D projects has reached the limit due to deviation of document's quality. For the solve the limitations of text-based similarity search using the keyword extraction, in this study, utilization of R&D project's technical classification will be discussed as a new similarity search method when analyzed of similarity between national R&D programs. To this end, extracts the Science and Technology Standard Classification of R & D projects which are collected when national R&D Survey & analysis, and creates peculiar vector model of each R&D programs. Verify a reliability of this study by calculate the cosine-based and Euclidean distance-based similarity and compare with calculated the text-based similarity.
