  • This research aims to propose model for measuring the efficiency of R&D organizations by using Data Envelopment Analysis. In existing research about using Data Envelopment Analysis, the types of R&D organizations have not been clarified and the difference between analysis time from measurement time is usually $4{\sim}5$ years. This research divides R&D organizations into three types and provides proper methods for measuring the efficiency of each R&D organizations.

  • The Pyro project, one of the large national R&D project to construct Korea Advanced Pyroprocessing Facility (KAPF), which has many goals such as development of pyro technology and process equipment, design of equipment and facility, construction, and test operation, is now under research and development. To reduce uncertainty and risk of such complex project, the technical management processes in systems engineering standards and NASA handbook were reviewed, and then the ten common technical management processes were selected for the large national R&D project to meet its goal successfully. And the essential technical management processes were finally suggested for Pyro project in consideration of current situation of the project.

  • An isolable activated ester, diethyl thiophosphoryl [(Z)-(2-aminothiazol-4-yl)-2-(methoxyimino)acetate (9a, DAMA) was prepared in high purity, which was at least stable for 7 d at $25^{\circ}C$ and 6 months at $5^{\circ}C$. Its reaction with 7-ACA (4) in the presence of tributylamine in i-PrOH provided cefotaxime (1) of high purity in good yield. Preparation of DAMA and its reaction with 7-ACA (4) to 1 was performed in one-pot manner, respectively with minimal unit operations of stirring and filtration.

  • This study used a resource-based perspective to analyse the effects of organizational composition on the R&D performance of science and technology government-funded research institutes (GFRIs). We assumed that the composition of each GFRI would eventually be regarded as absorptive capacity and act as a moderating variable between R&D investment and performance. We used a panel generalized least squares (GLS) model with fixed effects to analyse panel data from 115 Korean GFRIs between 2011 and 2015. Our findings show that R&D investment of GFRIs has a direct and positive effect on performance. We also analysed how organizational composition can moderate the effect of R&D investment on performance. The findings provide evidence that organizational composition plays a moderating role between R&D investment and performance. Finally, this study discusses policy implications, its limitations, and also highlights future research directions.

  • The basic research on fast reactor technology was started in the mid-1960's in China. The emphasis was put on fast reactor neutronics, thermohydraulics, sodium technology, materials, fuels, safety, sodium devices and instrumentation. In 1987, the research turned to applied basic research with the conceptual design of a 60 MW experimental fast reactor as a target. The Project of the China Experimental Fast Reactor(CEFR) with a thermal power 65 MW was launched in 1993. The R&D of fast reactor technology then carried out to serve a design demonstration connected with the different phases of the conceptual, preliminary and detailed design of the CEFR. Recently, three directions of fast rector technology R&D activities have been considered, and some research programs have been developed. They are: (1) R&D related to the CEFR, i.e. experiments to be conducted on the CEFR for its safe operation, (2) R&D related to the projects of a prototype and the demonstration of fast reactors, and(3) advanced SFR technology within the framework of the international cooperation of INPRO and GIF.

  • The governmental R&D projects have put a great emphasis on returns on R&D investment through development of market- and customer-oriented technologies and their commercialization. A successful commercialization of the technology developed from a R&D project relies on development of the technology intriguing customers, establishment of effective commercialization strategies throughout the stages of R&D planning and development, and interactive communication between the technology developer and a private company that will do a business with the technology. The business modeling helps accomplish the requirements for the successful commercialization. The past literature about technology commercialization does not provide a systematic procedure in developing a business model for the governmental R&D project. In this study, we proposed a systematic procedure developing a business model integrating peculiar characteristics of governmental R&D and viewpoints of technology developers and professionals of technology commercialization. It can be a useful guideline for developing a business model for the governmental R&D project.

  • Investment in research and development (R&D) is critical in the information technology (IT) firms, where newer and better technology is a quintessential goal that directly affects innovation and competitive advantage. This study investigates how R&D investment influences firm performance and value, and how the effect of R&D investment differs between IT hardware and software firms. We also analyze the relationship between firm age and R&D investment in order to identify learning effects on continuous R&D investment. The empirical investigation in this study, based on longitudinal archival data from 2001 to 2010, found a significant effect of R&D investment on firm performance in IT firms. Further, this study demonstrates causal relationship between firm age, and verifies that learning effects are present in R&D investment. Moreover, the results are found to differ between IT hardware and IT software firms.

  • Innovative capacities and performance are essential for the growth of the IT industry and the development of the Korean economy. Global R&D centers are important sources of innovation in the IT industry. In order to identify the structure of the innovation environment of global R&D centers in IT industry, we conducted a field survey of 50 global R&D centers and 50 global R&D policy experts in IT industry. According to the empirical results obtained using the Linear Structure Model, it is suggested that, first, with regard to a short-term IT global policy, the direction of the Korean government's policy should act as a trigger to connect the research domain and the market domain; second, the government policy should act as a facilitator to connect the development domain and the research domain in the mid-term period; and, finally, the government's R&D policy should serve as a disseminator to connect technological capability and the market space domain in the long-term perspective. For an effective way of internationalizing innovation, IT policy planners should regard global IT R&D centers as the important components of national innovation system and encourage the effective involvements by them in the process of IT industrial innovation.

  • In order to improve national competitiveness through technological research and development, the government puts in R&D budget every year and manages to improve the R&D results. Accordingly, various R&D project management methods have applied for successful advancement of technology and product. TRL is a measurement system developed by NASA to assess the maturity of technology since the 1970s. To apply medical device, the characteristics such as regulation, clinical trials are considered as a significant influence. In this study, we would like to derive PMI(performance measures index) for medical device R&D projects by using TRL and stage-gate model. As a result of this study, it is possible to use the PMI for decision making and evaluation in the R&D projects and believed that the objectivity can be ensured by the approval or certification of regulatory authority.
