This paper examines university patenting activities as a commercialization of academic research. It shows how a number of university patents increase exponentially and how that can be, especially in terms of role of the state. In the late 1990, the Korean government supports the new vision of 'technological innovation' in establishing a science and technological policy and begins to perceive the importance of university R&D to overcome the economic crisis. Thus, an administrative, financial, and legal systems which support the university R&D are organized and the governmental grants for R&D increase exponentially, especially in promising new technologies(6T). Also, an institution for managing intellectual property rights is established in university. Universities assess professor's performance in terms of patent and license to encourage patenting activities. Thus the number of patents and its productivity increase exponentially. But the increase in patents takes place only to a dozen of universities, this means that a Matthew effect does work.

This paper analyzes the effects of government support systems, regulation, and innovation promotion policy on technological innovation performance of companies in the service industry using 4,000 Korean service industry companies. Multiple and hierarchical multiple regression analysis were used to analyze the correlation between the individual factors and process innovation and product innovation. Government support, regulation and technology innovation in the service industry were tested. In addition, government innovation promotion policy includes government support and regulation and the technological innovation performance of service firms. As a result, the government support system affects both the process innovation and the product innovation performance in the service industry, but affects only the process innovation performance in the case of regulation. Innovation promotion policy was found to regulate the relationship between government support systems and regulation and innovation performance of the service industry. Therefore, these findings provide strategic implications for the management of enterprises in relation to government support systems and innovation policy. It is necessary to reorganize regulations that are outdated to improve the effect of innovation policies on innovation performance.

This study is aimed at verifying the effect of scratch programming education for middle school students on their information science creative personality and technological problem solving tendency. The results of such study can be used as basic data for raising 'future creative talents' armed with problem-solving capability they honed in software education. The results of this research are as follows. First, a statistically significant difference was confirmed between ex ante and ex post samples in a t-test which was performed to verify information science creative personality of the middle school students (t(37)=4.305, p<.01). Their information science creative personality was high in the average score as it dropped from 3.00 in the ex-ante test to 2.51 in the ex post test. It was confirmed that the education of scratch programming influences information science creative personality for middle school students positively, suggesting that middle school students are interested in new problematic situations they found in information science and discover new problem-solving methods in the programming education, thereby showing positive feedback in the education performance. However, it was revealed that the middle school students were unable to immerse themselves in the scratch programming course completely and change their psychological states. Second, a statistically significant difference was confirmed between ex ante and ex post samples in a t-test which was performed to verify their technological problem solving tendency (t(37)=3.074, p<.01). Their technological problem solving tendency was high in the average score as it dropped from 4.06 in the ex-ante test to 3.55 in the ex post test. It was confirmed that the education of scratch programming influences technological problem solving tendency for middle school students positively: they understood problems associated with technology, explored diverse breakthroughs for the identified problems and assessed and improved resolutions. Third, a moderate correlation was confirmed between their information science creative personality and technological problem solving tendency (r=.343, p<.05). Therefore, it is judged that the middle school students who took scratch programming education demonstrated its influence in the correlation between the imagination for problem solving, positivity in the information science creative personality and the confidence for problem solving in the technological problem solving tendency.
