Korea has rapidly increased R&D investment over the last few decades and the intensity of R&D investment is among the highest in the world; however, there are serious concerns about R&D performance and R&D efficiency. This study is to improve the economic assessment methodology regarding a feasibility study for national R&D programs that are thought to be one of the most prominent ways to enhance R&D efficiency. In order to improve the methodology of economic assessment, a few of important factors such as technical or market uncertainty, spillover effect, and R&D contribution ratio should be covered in the model. The focus of this article is technological and market uncertainty that has a close relation with strategic flexibility and utilization potential to increase the value of R&D programs. To improve the current linear and definitive R&D process, a new framework with strategic flexibility is suggested, in which the result of economic assessment that considers technological and market uncertainty is reflected in planning. That kind of feedback process is expected to enhance the value of the program/project as well as R&D efficiency.

In this paper, we suggest theoretical grounds on the problem of R&D portfolio with different option premiums utilizing the Real Options Model, which has received intensified attention as the method of assessment of R&D project with high risk. Even though there have been many studies focused on the evaluation of option value of single project from technology valuation's perspective. there are few study on the portfolio of multiple technology investment by option value using. This paper bears practical importance by showing simple examples with the option value of investment alternatives and the valuation of related risk, the construction of optimum portfolio in technology investment alternatives.

With the constant growth of R&D investment, it has been increasingly necessary to evaluate the effectiveness of R&D performance and there is a high emphasis on ensuring the accountability and effectiveness of R&D programs. The evaluation of performance of a firm is especially necessary in times of economic downturn to justify R&D investment. However, there is a marked shortage of clear guidelines as to where and how particular metrics are used to measure the output and outcome of R&D activity in firms. Many firms have difficulties in selecting appropriate indicators for their R&D and financial performances. To fill this gap, this article discusses and presents the findings from the literature in such a way that they become useful for researchers or managers who are in charge of measuring the R&D and business performances arising from innovation activities. Finally, based on the findings about metrics of R&D performance, this article proposes the hypothetical framework to investigate the relationship between technology forecasting, strategic technology planning, and business performance. The framework of this article will assist policy makers, universities, research institutes/national laboratories, and companies to enhance their decision making process in technology development.

탈추격형 혁신체제가 강조됨에 따라 국가연구개발사업은 기술역량 향상에 초점을 맞춰온 기존의 방식과 달리 문제해결 실용화 사회적 영향을 모두 아우른 통합적 접근을 필요로 한다. 이러한 상황에서는 R&D예산의 효과적 효율적 집행과 성과관리가 중요한 과제이나, 기존의 성과평가제도는 획일적 평가, 양적지표 위주 등으로 인해 한계를 가지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 문제점에 대응하기 위해 우리나라의 국가연구개발사업 성과평가의 진화과정을 조사 분석 평가 체제와 1,2차 성과평가기본계획 체제 세 시기로 나누어 제반 법 제도, 평가체제 및 내용, 평가의 활용 등의 요소를 비교분석하였다. 성과평가제도는 조사 분석 평가에서 1차 기본계획, 2차 기본계획으로 이행되면서 R&D자원 투입에 따른 양적 성과관리 위주에서 연구사업의 다각적 측면을 평가하기 위한 수단으로 진화하였다. 그 과정에서 평가인프라, 표준성과지표 등 평가체계의 고도화 실효성을 제고하기 위한 제도적 장치가 다수 마련되었다. 1차 기본계획에서는 과학기술행정체계의 잦은 개편이 성과평가 진화의 일관성에 영향을 미쳤으나, 2차 기본계획 이후 체계가 안정화되면서 성과평가제도는 우리나라 혁신시스템 전환을 뒷받침할 수 있는 방향으로 개선되고 있다.

The major countries including Korea extend the national investment on R&D and implement the business performance diffusion policy as the knowledge based competition age arrives recently. The necessity for risk management and systematic management system for R&D achievement have been appeared to prevent the failure as the R&D scale becomes larger as it was said. For this matter, the organization such as NASA and DoD in USA defines the Technology Readiness Level (TRL) as a quantitative accomplishment management index and utilize the Technology Readiness Assessment (TRA) system as a criterion. Such tool is evaluated as very effective in the R&D project purposed the practicalization. It is expected that the disadvantage of evaluation system which is oriented to the academic accomplishment in its contents of current research and to contribute greatly to the practicalization of outcomes when such technology readiness level concept is applied to Korean national construction and transportation R&D project. Accordingly, this study analyzed the concept of TRL·TRA, the characteristics and current evaluation management system of Korean national construction and transportation R&D project and suggested the construction and transportation R&D project TRL·TRA performance model to accomplish the practicalization purpose.

건설산업은 국가 경제의 초석이 되는 연간 100조원 규모의 기간산업임에도 불구하고 건설R&D예산은 2005년 기준으로 정부 전체 R&D예산의 2.1%수준에 머무르고 있다. 국내 기술력 역시 선진국의 70% 수준에 불과하여 기술경쟁력이 저하되고 해외시장 점유율도 지속적으로 하락하고 있다. 이를 극복하기 위해 건설교통부는 건설R&D예산을 2007년까지 전체예산의 2.8%수준인 5,100억원 규모로 확대 추진할 계획이지만, 연구개발 투자를 지속적으로 확대하기 위해 요구되는 건설R&D사업에 대한 성과측정은 상대적으로 관심이 부족한 실정이다. 본 논문은 건설 R&D의 특징이 반영된 성과 측정지표를 도출하고 이를 통해 건설R&D사업의 정량적인 성과측정 방법론을 개발하여 건설R&D사업 전반의 계량적인 성과분석을 실시하는데 그 목적이 있다.

Technological, policy and economic factors are both important variables in maximizing the results of a national R&D program and key indicators in evaluating an R&D program's eligibility for financial support. Economic analysis, in particular, is used when selecting R&D programs, setting priorities, and estimating economic effects. This paper examines a series of methodological issues related to the economic analysis of national R&D programs within the framework of the current preliminary feasibility evaluation system, and proposes alternative approaches to each of the issues discussed. The issues include the definition of R&D valuation and establishment of valuation factors; estimation of sales attributable to R&D investment; assessment of the total economic value of R&D as intellectual assets; estimation of R&D benefits and assumption of related to sales; and the application of discount rates based on the weighted average cost of capital. Finally, this study presents directions for future research on analytical procedures and methods of improving the reliability of the results of economic analysis within the national technology planning system.

Objectives: This study was conducted to analyze the trends of government R&D (R&D) projects related to laboratory safety over the past 20 years. Methods: We collected publications from various databases(DBs) with words such as laboratory(ies), lab(s), researcher(s), laboratory worker(s), safety, environment, hazard(s), risk(s), and so on. Selected publications were analyzed by the research funds and the number of projects according to the investment subject and research characteristics. Results: About 93% of the total R&D budget went to government policy projects, not scientific research. Second, from the perspective of 'safety management activities', most of the research is related to management and inspection at the organizational level. Issues that need to be discussed at the national level like policy governance are not included. Third, focusing on the 'safety management cycle', there were few studies related to 'prediction' or 'post-response'. Fourth, when an analysis framework combining the perspectives of 'safety management activities' and 'safety management cycle' is applied, most of the budget is spent on infrastructure such as digital management systems, whereas basic knowledge for prevention and production of evidence was very few. Conclusions: In order to prevent policy planning without policy evaluation, implementation without strategy, and evaluation without evidence, it is necessary to expand investment in empirical research on risks, research on the effectiveness of current application methods, and research on theory development. The government budget for laboratory safety-related projects should be managed separately from the R&D budget for scientific research. Although less than 5% of the budget allocated to scientific research is the total budget, an optical illusion occurs because both the project budget and the scientific research budget are counted as R&D budgets.
