This study aims to examine whether the characteristics such as a start-up company, possessing a research organization, and benefiting from government R&D programs significantly contributed to the conversion of marginal companies to normal companies, from the viewpoint of technological innovation. The result shows supporting government R&D programs to start-up companies that have become a marginal company positively contributes to the transition to a normal company, centering on the high-tech industry. In addition, it was confirmed that the research organization of marginal companies positively contributed to the transition to a normal company. These results imply that a paradigm shift from the existing industrial policy focusing on restructuring of marginal companies to a selective support policy for marginal companies with a high possibility of transition to normal companies is strongly needed. It is also necessary to strengthen the strategic use of government R&D programs to support the transition of a marginal company to a normal company.

The purpose of this paper is to explore the relationship between industrial regulations and the R&D activities of firms by analysing the case of manufacturing enterprises in Korea. The sample is gathered from the 2012 Korean Innovation Survey data of Korean Institute of Science & Technology Evaluation and Planning and merged with Korean Regulation Index data of Korean Institute of Public Administration. The Ordinary Least Square (OLS) as well as 2 Stage Least Square (2SLS) regression results show that the impact of the level of the manufacturing field's regulation on firms' R&D activities or inputs may be both positive and negative, depending on the size of the firms. The analysis results suggest that regulatory policy makers need to formulate and implement R&D programs that consider the different effects of industrial regulations on large enterprises or Small and Medium sized Enterprises (SMEs).

기술간 산업간 융합 현상은 R&D 범위의 복잡성을 가중시켰고, 국가나 지역 단위의 시장이 아닌 지구 단위의 시장경쟁을 첨예화시킴으로써 과거의 폐쇄적 R&D 시스템의 한계를 여실하게 드러내는 계기가 되었다. 즉, 시장 규모의 글로벌화, 제품개발 주기의 단축, 지식체화 인력의 유동성 증가를 극복하기 위해서는 기존의 폐쇄형 R&D 방법이 아닌, 다양한 지식자원을 활용함과 동시에 R&D 활동 전후방에 위치한 모든 주체들이 참여하는 개방화된 R&D 방법을 도입할 때 비로소 새로운 가치를 창출할 수 있게 될 것이다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 R&D 변화의 추세, 개방형 R&D의 개념 및 필요성을 살펴본 후 '융합기술 R&D를 위한 개방형 혁신 시스템 도입 방향'을 제언하고자 한다.

This study analyzes determinants of innovation in Korea manufacturing industries from 2005 to 2007. In order to do this, we use raw data from 'Korea Innovation Survey 2008: Manufacturing Sector' conducted by STEPI, and also collect financial statement data from Korea Investors Service. As an analytical method for the empirical test, we utilize Probit model. Empirical results show that firm size and market concentration have positive relationship with firm's innovation activities. These support the ‘Schumpeterian hypothesis’. This would be the most distinguished feature of this study compared to previous literatures.Our study also shows that R&D personnel ratio, R&D intensity, and advertising intensity have positive effects on firms' innovation. Thus, we can say that R&D activities and consumer orientation are the main determinants of innovation. However, profit ratio and growth rate do not have any statistically significant effect on firms' innovation.

According to knowledge-based view, knowledge is an essential strategic resource for a firm to retain sustainable competitive advantage. As knowledge is created and disseminated throughout the firm, the firm can enhance its capability to respond to new and unusual situations. Thus, a lot of companies actively manage their knowledge and intellectual capital. Especially, knowledge management (KM) activities in R&D organizations play a critical role in enhancing R&D performances such as innovation capability. In this regard, this study develops a theoretical model to examine the effects of R&D KM activities on R&D performance. The research model posits KM participation, knowledge management system (KMS) use, and community of practice (CoP) as the main activities of R&D KM. This study proposes that R&D shared knowledge quality and R&D KM satisfaction play a mediating role between R&D KM activities and its performance. The proposed research model was tested by using survey data collected from 248 employees in an R&D department. PLS (partial least squares) was employed for the analysis of the data. The findings of this study showed that R&D KM activities play a significant role in enhancing R&D performance. The findings revealed that R&D shared knowledge quality is not significantly related to R&D performance, while R&D KM satisfaction significantly influences R&D performance. The theoretical and practical implications of the findings were described.

그 동안 R&D와 관련된 많은 연구는 다양한 성장모형을 이용해 경제성장과 연구개발 투자사이의 관계를 보이는데 중점을 두어왔으나, 디지털 경제에서의 지식 혁신에 의한 R&D활동의 성장패턴을 보이는 연구는 이루어지지 않고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 W기업의 생산과정에서 R&D활동에 따른 비중의 변화가 생산성을 증가시키는 성장의 패턴을 다양하게 할 수 있음을 보이고자 한다.

국가R&D사업의 추진결과와 활동현황에 대한 종합적이고 다각적인 분석을 위해 1999년도부터 매년 모든 국가R&D사업에 대해 주요 연구 성과인 논문, 특허, 기술료 등에 대한 국가R&D 조사분석 자료 수집이 실시되고 있다. 국가R&D 표준정보 수집을 위해 2003년도에 '국가연구개발사업 종합관리시스템(CORDI, 현재 SIMS)'이 구축되었고, 매년 국가R&D 조사분석 자료들의 수집 분석이 실시되고 있으나, 전자기록의 속성을 갖는 국가R&D 조사분석 자료, 특히 조사분석의 검증자료에 대한 장기적 보존을 위한 관련 연구는 전무한 상태이다. 따라서 본 연구는 국가R&D 조사분석의 검증자료에 대한 장기적 보존과 나아가서는 평가의 활용 및 정보 시스템간의 상호운용성을 높이기 위한 국가R&D 조사분석 검증자료의 보존 메타데이터 모델을 제안한다.

In software R&D artifacts including documents and program code are produced. There are two kinds of software R&D artifacts: Research artifacts and development artifacts. Research artifacts include software R&D planning document, annual report, final report, research note and so on. Software development artifacts include software requirements, software design description, testing plan, test report, and program code. It is important to verify the documents and to test code to check the direction of the R&D. Moreover, we should check relationships as such completeness and consistency between research and development artifacts. The verification and testing help project manager and researchers understand what they do during software projects. Therefore, in this study, we present a process to verify documents and program in software R & D. In the process we check documents produced in software R&D and test program code. We describe the process by using Essence elements including alpha, activity, and competency. We present a case study to show the effectiveness of the process.

In this age of the $4^{th}$ industrial revolution, we, science educators, are giving more light on students' agentic behavior in the process of educating future scientist. This study, with the analytic lens of epistemic agency, explores the key stages of a student-driven R&E program rather than the scientist-led R&E program. It also examines to understand the emergence of students' epistemic agency in each stage of R&E. Data from participant observation for 18 months and in-depth interviews were collected and analyzed with the constant comparative method of grounded theory. This study identifies and describes five key stages of student-driven R&E: The stage of exploring research theme, designing research, performing lab activity, interpreting results, and communicating research. It also finds that (a) students' epistemic agency emerged with the constant interactions with the R&E structure; (b) students' epistemic agency has deep relations with the epistemic beliefs of the students; (c) students positioned themselves as decision-makers in the R&E practice; (d) the redistributed power and authority of the R&E contributed to the emergence of students' epistemic agency.
