[ $ulcorner$ ]Cost-Effectiveness Analysis$\lrcorner$ has been wifely used to evaluate economic efficiency of R&D projects, but most of cost-effectiveness evaluation systems have some problems such as systematic method for setting and evaluating cost factors, estimation of single effect on each R&D project, and estimation of cross effects among R&D projects. To solve these problems, we have designed a new evaluation indicator called a $ulcorner$Cost-Cross Effect Integration Indicator$lrcorner$ including cross effects developed in this research. The major research findings are summarized as follows : (1) $ulcorner$Coist Estimation Model$lrcorner$, which estimates the cost factors divided into two classes of assembly product and system product and then integrates the total cost values, has been designed. (2) A new method for estimating parameters of cross effects among R&D projects has been developed. (3) $ulcorner$Cross Effects Estimation Model$lrcorner$ to estimate multi-effects and cross effects by completion time among several projects has been designed. (4) $ulcorner$Integration Estimation Indicator$lrcorner$ for setting priority on a project group has been extracted by combination of total cost value and total effect value.

This study attempts to provide an efficient method for managing the Nuclear R&D projects. It should be noted that the technology and experiences to develop a well-balanced plan and mon-itoring for the R&D project are not yet well established when compared with the commercial con-structionand engineering projects. This study recommends that the R&D project manager utilize the scheduling techniques to establish an integral management system taking in to account the un-certainties in the research environment. Based upon the results of a case study for the Liquid Metal Reactor Design Technology Development Project which is led by the KAERI this study also con-firms that it is possible to run the national nuclear R&D projects with the Scheduling & Planning.

The purpose of this study is to contribute reference material that provides insight into innovative process management that increases R&D output in commercializing new products. A model of a process from research to commercialization with the cumulative profit and loss curve is put forward and hypotheses related to success and failure are developed at the stages up to product launch. Seventeen large projects that have resulted in successful product launches have been examined from the initial research stage to commercialization. Prefect duration, standardized cumulative R&D expenditures and research resource concentration are analyzed in terms of statistical method and patterns in cumulative profit and loss curves after product sales, as well as the reasons for and other aspects of success/failure are investigated and analyzed. Consequently, valuable information on future management tasks has been obtained such as: (1) project duration differs depending on market sectors, product types and presence/absence of materials research (2) cumulative profit and loss curves can be categorized into four patterns (3) reasons for failure can be divided into technological and market problem categories and (4) these factors have an impact on product sales.

The analytic hierarchy process (AHP), a well-known and useful decision making method, has been applied to R&D project evaluation and selection. The objective of this study is to propose a new model for evaluating and selecting R&D projects of Samsung Electro-Mechanics, the top manufacturer of electronic components in Korea, using the AHP. To show the validity of the new model, we strived to successively compare the final priorities for R&D projects with the priorities obtained by the existing model and the new model respectively.

The purpose of this study is to construct a new model named Communication Consensus Value Weighted (CCVW) model based on inter-personal technical communication within a project team, and to design Feasibility Estimates Integrated Terminal System (FEITS) which is a subsystem of R & D Project Planning System/System Alternatives Feasibility Estimation System (RDPPL/SAFES) using the model as a key function for feasibility estimation in that system. This new model aims to integrate technical feasibility estimated by several estimators in the lowest level as the project work breakdown structure which is the indentical conception of a terminal system in RDPPL. The process to obtain the feasibility estimate integrated is presented in this paper.

A variety of approaches are being applied to improve the existing ex-ante evaluation by expert panels in publicly funded R&D. While the objective evaluation criteria are constantly being improved to screen and select the superior projects, alternative approaches such as random prioritization and logical modeling are also underway to overcome the conservative bias of reviewers and to secure disruptive innovation. This study intends to find critical implications for ex-ante evaluation of public R&D system from the comparison of Indonesia and Korea. For the comparative analysis, literature review and expert in-depth interviews are conducted on the national R&D system and the selection evaluation process. In Korea, the selection criteria of projects are legally promulgated for establishing an objective evaluation system, and at the program level, the major considerations in the planning process are specified by Presidential Decree. On the other hand, while Indonesia conducts R&D in 47 strategic fields largely by public research institutes (PRI) based on the non-competitive government contributions. This study draws out implications of institutionalizing the planning process at the level of program, and of increasing the ratio of contract-based competitive funding at the level of project in the national R&D portfolio.

This study empirically examined different patterns of collaborative R&D project with their key success factors(KSFs), using data from 82 projects in the Korean electronic parts industry. The patterns of R&D collaboration were categorized into 4 types by two criteria development motive(technology Push/market pull) and Project initiator (focal firm/partner). The bivariate relationships revealed that project characteristics (technological complexity, market uncertainty), management characteristics (participation in project formulation), problem solving characteristics(problem solving performance of the focal firm, users active role in problem solving, active role of university or research institute in problem solving) and success rates appear to be different among four types of collaboration. Each type of collaborative R&D projects also had different KSFs. The KSFs of type 1 (technology Push and focal firm initiation), for instance, include the strategic importance of the project, focal firms share of cost, active role of university or research institute in problem solving, while those of type 4(market pull and customer initiation) cover reliability of partner relationship, a time at partners involvement, information sharing. The findings suggest that the different contingencies brought different patterns and KSFs of collaborative R&D project, since different information, resources, and partners roles were needed to successfully implement the projects according to development motive and project initiator Finally, managerial, policy, and theoretical implications for the collaborative R&D activities in the Korean electronics parts industry were discussed, based on empirical results of this study.

본 연구는 연구·개발 프로젝트의 평가를 위하여 연구·개발 프로젝트의 다-속성(Multi-attributes)을 고려하한 평가 모델의 연구이다. 이를 위하여 우선 평가구조를 구축하고 각 속성별 평가를 종합하기 위한 종합성과도(Total Preference Index)로 단일 측정치로 평가 할 수 있도록 종합하기 위한 적절한 효용함수를 도입하여 사용하였다. 이러한 평가 과정을 다-속성 의사결정 모델(Multi-attribute Utility Model)로 통합하였으며 연구·개발프로젝트의 특성을 고려하여 각 연구실의 책임자(Laboratory Directors)의 평가체계를 개발하여 본 평가모델에 포함하였다. 본 평가모델의 시험 적용을 위하여 특정 연구소에 시험적용하고 그 결과를 보였으며, 부분적으로 보완 연구될 경우 일반적인 프로젝트의 평가모델로 활용될 수 있으리라 생각된다.

This study presents a R&D performance monitoring system (RDMS) that is applicable for managing nuclear program in KAERI. The prime goal of RDMS is to furnish project manager with reliable and accurate information on status of progress, performance and resource allocation, and attain traceability and visibility of project implementation for effective project management. In this study, the work breakdown structure (WBS) as the governing factor for integration of scope, schedule, resource data was derived, and the above parameters were loaded personal computer. A RDMS is comprised of about 12,000 R&D activities of the 16 goverment-led projects. The Primavera software was used to monitor the progress, evaluate the performance and analyze the resource distribution to activities.
