Korean manufacturing industry have recently faced the catch-up of China in the mass commodity product, such as automotive, display, and smart phone in terms of market as well as technology. Accordingly, discussion on the importance of achieving catch-up in complex product systems (CoPS) has been increasing as a new innovation engine for the industry. In order to achieve successful catch-up of CoPS, we explored emerging technologies of CoPS, which are featured by the characteristics of radical novelty, relatively fast growth and self-sustaining, through the study of emerging technologies of gas turbine for power generation. We found that emerging technologies of the gas turbine are technologies for combustion nozzle and composition of electrical machine for increasing power efficiency, washing technology for particulate matter, cast and material processing technology for enhancing durability from fatigue, cooling technologies from extremely high temperature, interconnection operation technology between renewable energy and the gas turbine for flexibility in power generation, and big data technology for remote monitoring and diagnosis of the gas turbine. We also found that those emerging technologies resulted in technological progress of the gas turbine by converging with other conventional technologies in the gas turbine. It indicates that emerging technologies in CoPS can be appeared on various technological knowledge fields and have complementary relationship with conventional technologies for technology progress of CoPS. It also implies that latecomers need to pursue integrated learning that includes emerging technologies as well as conventional technologies rather than independent learning related to emerging technologies for successful catch-up of CoPS. Our findings provide an important initial theoretical ground for investigating the emerging technologies and their characteristics in CoPS as well as recognizing knowledge management strategy for successful catch-up of latecomers. Our findings also contribute to the policy development of the CoPS from the perspective of innovation strategy and knowledge management.

In recent years, the U.S, Japan, Europe and other developed countries are strategically developing technologies in order to prepare for paradigm shift affecting the electric power industry in a preemptive way. In particular, a chance for new business models and innovation in the electric power industry would rapidly increase with convergence of various technologies including Information and communication technologies. This study gathered up the theories and methodologies, and sorted out emerging technologies for the electric power industry with those theories. In order to find the emerging technologies, first, we identified the possible key issues of the electric power industry in the future using four mining techniques such as STEEP. Second, we drew agenda related with each key issue. Third, we organized candidates of the emerging technologies for solving the agenda and set the priority after evaluating the possibility of technical innovation and business. Finally, we selected the top fourteen of emerging technologies and assessed their feasibility. This study has a methodological significance because the emerging technologies were developed with a market-oriented approach rather than technical-push one that has been primarily used in another studies. The results of this study are able to be used in establishment of technology policy and R&D planning in the electric power industry.

Emerging technologies have significant implications in establishing competitive advantages and are characterized by continuous rapid development. Efficient benchmarking is more and more important in the development of emerging technologies. Similar input level and importance are two necessary criteria need to be considered for emerging technology's benchmarking. In this study, we proposed a sequential use of self-organizing map(SOM), data envelopment analysis(DEA) and analytical hierarchy process(AHP) method for the stepwise benchmarking of emerging technology. The proposed method uses two-level SOM to cluster the emerging technologies with similar required input levels together, then, in each cluster, uses DEA-BCC model to evaluate the efficiencies of the emerging technologies and do tier analysis to form tiers. On each tier, AHP rating method is used to calculate each emerging technology's importance priority. The optimal benchmarking path of each cluster is established by connecting the emerging technologies with the highest importance priority. In order to validate the proposed method, we apply it to a case of biotechnology. The result shows the proposed method can overcome difficulties in benchmarking, select suitable benchmarking targets and make the benchmarking process more efficient and reasonable.

The advancement of emerging technologies can create more national value, and this motivates many nations to invest their resources in the emerging technologies. However, due to limited financial and human resources, even a wealthy nation cannot afford to randomly invest its resource in all profitable technologies. Therefore, cautious appraisal and prioritization of the competitive technologies should be conducted first, and then concentrated investment should be done for only the selected technologies. In this study, we propose a quantitative criterion for prioritizing the targeted electronic device technologies. The prioritization scheme devised in this study consists of a growth layer, a profitability layer, a vitality layer, and an influence layer. The proposed model forecasts the most promising technologies by applying the revised version of the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). We performed empirical experiments on 12 emerging electronic device technologies to analyze the practical applicability of our study. The experimental data was obtained from 70 experts in high-tech industry as a part of the 2004 Prioritization and Selection project that was carried out in South Korea. As a result, the proposed scheme was able to present the most promising areas for investment in the field of electronic device technology.

최근 효율적인 R&D와 경쟁력 확보를 목적으로, 미래기술을 예측하고 유망기술을 발굴하고자 하는 활동이 전 세계적으로 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 특히 무선통신 분야는 기술발전 속도가 빠르고 적용영역이 광범위하여 유망기술 발굴이 더욱 중요함에도 불구하고, 국내에는 관련연구나 사례가 부족한 실정이다. 이에 본 연구는 무선통신 분야의 미래유망기술 발굴 방법론을 개발하고 이를 적용하여 2020년 무선통신 분야 10대 유망기술을 도출해 보고자 한다. 이를 위해 첫째, STEEP 관점에서 미래 주요 이슈들을 도출하고, 둘째, 주요 이슈 별 사용자 니즈를 도출하였다. 셋째, 사용자 니즈를 만족시키기 위한 기술들로 유망기술 후보군을 구성한 뒤 기술성과 경제성 평가를 통해 이들의 우선순위를 도출하였으며, 마지막으로 10대 유망기술을 선정하고 선정결과의 타당성을 검토하였다. 본 연구는 기존 연구에서 주로 활용하던 기술주도(technology-push) 접근법 아닌 시장주도(market-pull) 접근법을 활용하여 유망기술을 발굴하고자 하였다는 점에서 방법론적 의의가 있을 것이며, 연구결과는 무선통신 산업 내 전략적, 정책적 의사결정을 지원할 것으로 기대된다.

Traditional wisdom on how late industrialized countries follow the technology trajectories of preceding economies is in need of reformation as these countries have attained industrial leadership in a growing number of fields. However, current understandings about these countries' development of their emerging technologies have yet to investigate the divergence of idiosyncratic technology trajectories. The aim of this paper was to explore how their knowledge production strategies in emerging technology sectors are diverging. Specifically, this research examines the changing patterns of knowledge production in quantum technology in South Korea and China by developing a knowledge portfolio and knowledge strategic diagram. According to the knowledge portfolio, the relative literature position differs. In the knowledge strategic diagram, there are diverging patterns in the emerging keywords sector. This paper contributes to the literature by demonstrating the diverging strategies of late industrialized countries in their transition from catch-up to post-catch-up paradigms and provides policy implications for countries developing an idiosyncratic trajectory in emerging technology sectors.

미래유망기술은 그 중요성으로 인해 국내외 유수의 기관에서 발표를 하고 있지만 이에 대한 후행평가는 거의 없는 실정이다. 잘못된 정보는 큰 시행착오를 초래하게 되므로, R&D 기획 단계에서 과거에 발표되었던 유망기술을 한 번 더 확인하는 작업은 필요하다. 따라서, 본 논문에서 제안한 평가 프레임워크가 과거 발표된 미래유망기술에 대해 신속하고, 시간과 비용 측면에서 효율적인 평가방법을 제공할 것으로 기대한다. 이를 위해 본 논문에서는 제품화가능성과 구매가능성의 개념을 도입하였다. 각각 특허와 뉴스 정보를 근거로 측정되는 것으로, 제품화가능성은 유망기술이 관련 응용 제품으로 구현될 가능성을 계량화한 것이고, 구매가능성은 소비자들이 응용 제품을 구매할 가능성을 수치화한 것이다. 제안된 평가프레임워크를 설명하기 위하여 LED와 LCD를 비교했하였고, 그 결과 평가시점(2011년)에서의 유망성은 LCD가 LED에 비해 높은 것으로 나타났다. 이는 시장보고서의 결과와 일치한다.
