  • Entering the era of low growth due to changes in social and economic conditions, most cities across the country are actively promoting urban regeneration. Although urban regeneration is a project with huge national finances, a clear evaluation system has not yet been established.

The purpose of this study is to derive the limitations of the existing comprehensive performance evaluation and to develop an improved urban regeneration policy comprehensive performance evaluation technique based on spatial big data. The urban regeneration comprehensive performance evaluation technique differentiated the areas affected by the urban regeneration project and the surrounding areas based on the type of urban regeneration project and the presence or absence of large cities and middle cities. The effects of urban regeneration were quantitatively verified through relative comparison between the areas affected by urban regeneration projects and the surrounding areas of population, society, economy, industry, physical and environmental evaluation indicators.

National Science and Technology Information Service(NTIS) started from March, 2008 was used for collecting investment and performance data of national R&D program. We search the investment cost according to science-technology standard classification of Korea, research conductors, socio-economic objectives and cooperation types per year from 2002 to 2008, and we regard this data as "investment". Similarly, we search the number of papers, patents, commercializations, royalties and so forth according to science technology standard classification of Korea, research organizations, socio-economic objectives and cooperation types per year from 2002 to 2008, and this data is regarded as "performance". We expected analysis results of this investment and performance data confirm the diversified factors to affect advancement of science and technology. And we though, as a result, we will get some meaningful directions of investment of national R&D from the analysis results. But this study has several limitations because we did not consider enough microscopic characteristics of sector or technology, research organizations, cooperation network types, and external effect of social, politic, cultural factors.

  • The advancement of IT and the "Fourth Industrial Revolution" blurred the boundary between industries. The importance of strategic cooperation between enterprises is emphasized. IT companies must consider their existing business areas and create new territories to drive changes in the industry. They must also secure their competitive edge and manage economic costs to enable them to compete with their global counterparts. By utilizing their resources effectively, these firms can create value through inter-firm cooperation. This study analyzes the collaborative network of global IT companies using social network analysis and examines the effect of this network on firm performance. Collaborative linkages and betweenness centrality, which represent the bridging position of a firm in a network, significantly affect firm performance. This result highlights the importance of the structural position of a firm in a cooperative network of IT companies. This study also characterizes clusters in a network of IT companies. Most of these clusters comprise a combination of IT companies in diverse IT industries. These clusters suggest that these companies engage in multilateral cooperation without boundaries to maximize their business capabilities. This study offers practical implications for establishing a cooperative strategy and framework that can capture business trends in the IT industry from a macroscopic view. This study also visualizes collaborative networks in a multifaceted way using social network analysis to provide researchers and business practitioners with an informative viewpoint.
