This paper aims at finding some lessons applicable to successful implementation of 'The 3D Printing R/D Project' through both examining the process of adopting overseas industrialized housing production technological knowhow by home builders during the 1970's~1980's period and thereafter until now the various efforts to adjust the technologies efficiently to the Korea's unique situation. Some meaningful lessons can be summarized as follows; I) Deep understanding of 3DP technological know-why along with its inheritance, II) Readjusting of R/D period and goals(cf. Global leader Winsun's 15 years experiment), III) Restructuring for more collaborative R/D B&E system among participating researchers IV) Fostering 3DP expert-engineers and technicians from the early stage, V) Clearing legal barriers in users' adopting 3DP methods necessary, VI) Development of appropriate building material besides concrete. Therefore, it is highly recommended that the above-mentioned 6 lessons positively accepted and applied to the Research Implementation Plan in due course, especially by KICT consortium and KAIA under the guidance of Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport.

다양한 이해관계와 가치가 첨예하게 대립하는 기술위험관련 정책결정에 시민 및 이해관계자들의 참여를 독려하는 의사결정방법이 주목 받고 있다. 기술위험관리 방식으로서 일찍이 서구사회에서 학술적, 정책적으로 논의되어 온 공론화는 여러 분야의 과학기술정책 영역에서 실험되고 있다. 본고는 공론화의 이론적 근간인 숙의민주주의에서 정의하고 기대하는 공론화 과정과 실제로 다양한 이해와 가치가 얽혀있는 당사자들이 참여하여 기술위험정책에 관한 의사결정을 내리기까지의 과정에는 큰 차이가 있음을 주장한다. 이를 위해 실제로 영국에서 방사성폐기물 관리방안을 찾기 위해 수행된 대규모 공론화 프로그램(CoRWM 프로그램)의 주요 관계자를 인터뷰하고 각종 공식, 비공식 문헌을 분석하였다. 결과는 기술위험에 관한 공론화 과정의 실제는 이론에서 전제된 공동의 선을 위한 합리적 논쟁과정이라기 보다, 여러 이해관계자들 간의 다양하고 복잡한 물적, 사회적, 정치적 상호작용 및 관계맺기로 드러났다.

As markets and industries continue to evolve rapidly, technology opportunity discovery (TOD) has become critical to a firm's survival. From a common consensus that TOD based on a firm's capabilities is a valuable method for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and reduces the risk of failure in technology development, studies for TOD based on a firm's capabilities have been actively conducted. However, previous studies mainly focused on a firm's technological capabilities and rarely on business capabilities. Since discovered technologies can create market value when utilized in a firm's business, a firm's current business capabilities should be considered in discovering technology opportunities. In this context, this study proposes a TOD method that considers both a firm's business and technological capabilities. To this end, this study uses patent data, which represents the firm's technological capabilities, and trademark data, which represents the firm's business capabilities. The proposed method comprises four steps: 1) Constructing firm technology and business capability matrices using patent classification codes and trademark similarity group codes; 2) Transforming the capability matrices to preference matrices using the fuzzy function; 3) Identifying a target firm's candidate technology opportunities using the collaborative filtering algorithm; 4) Recommending technology opportunities using a portfolio map constructed based on technology similarity and applicability indices. A case study is conducted on a security firm to determine the validity of the proposed method. The proposed method can assist SMEs that face resource constraints in identifying technology opportunities. Further, it can be used by firms that do not possess patents since the proposed method uncovers technology opportunities based on business capabilities.

The rise of latecomer countries across the world directs academic attention to their catching-up and innovation processof seizing technological opportunities and combining internal and external knowledge. Different from the developed economies as well as the newly industrialized economies, China presents a special innovation environment, wherein its technology regime, market opportunities, and institutions are complex and the globalization trend affects competition in a broader way. In thiscontext, we clarify and extend the framework of "secondary innovation". This framework describes the dynamics of those with relatively poor resources and capabilities in their efforts to capture the values of mature/emerging technology or business models by acquiringthem from across borders and then adapting to catching-up contexts. Such processes, differentiated from original innovation that involves the whole process from R&D to commercialization, has become a prevailing regime during paradigm shifts. In particular, unlike the traditional catch-up literature that focuses more on technology, the secondary innovation framework inclusively contains both technology and business model innovation, and puts forward the co-evolution between the two elements, which is more applicable to China's context. In accordance, we also provide implications towards fulfilling the goal of building an innovation-driven nation.

While the term is nothing new, 'cybersecurity' still seems to be defined quite loosely and subjectively depending on context. This is problematic especially to legal writers for prosecuting cybercrimes that do not fit a particular clause/act. In fact, what is more difficult is the non-existent single 'cybersecurity law' in Malaysia, rather than the current implementation of 10-related cyber security acts. In this paper, the 10 acts are compiled into a corpus to analyse the language used in these acts via a corpus linguistics approach. A list of frequent words is firstly investigated to see whether the so-called related laws do talk about cybersecurity followed by close inspection of the concordance lines and habitually associated phrases (clusters) to explore use of these words in context. The 'compare 2 wordlist' feature is used to identify similarities or differences between the 10 Malaysian cybersecurity related laws against a corpus of cyber laws from other ASEAN countries. Findings revealed that ASEAN cyber laws refer mostly to three cybersecurity dominant themes identified in the literature: technological solutions, events, and strategies, processes, and methods, whereas Malaysian cybersecurity-related laws revolved around themes like human engagement, and referent objects (of security). Although these so-called cyber related policies and laws in Malaysia are highlighted in the National Cyber Security Agency (NACSA), their practical applications to combat cybercrimes remain uncertain.

This study aims to identify the factors supporting and inhibiting the digitalization of blue economy MSMEs in Bitung, Indonesia. The literature shows little research on digitalization related to the blue economy in Southeast Asia, especially in Indonesia. This indicates that there is a large research gap related to digitalization and the blue economy in the Indonesian context. Data was collected through the distribution of questionnaires with open-ended questions to blue economy MSMEs. Data was also obtained from in-depth interviews with representatives of Aruna, an Indonesian company that focuses on simplifying the supply chain of fishery products by connecting small-scale fishers to the global market through technology. According to the study's findings, two primary factors-motivation to develop their business and efforts to maintain seller-buyer interaction-support SMEs' use of technology in the blue economy. However, digital literacy and technological infrastructure, such as the internet network, are the two main factors that become obstacles in the effort to digitize MSMEs in the blue economy. The role of the government is also a contingent factor that can strengthen the relationship between factors that support digitization and weaken the relationship between factors that hinder digitalization.

최근 선진국에서의 IT 기술발전은 매우 급속하여 현장활용을 위한 개발 활동이 채 따라가지 못할 정도이다. 첨단기술의 발전과 이의 응용을 위한 개발과의 격차는 농업기상분야에서도 마찬가지이다. 여기에서는 농업기상정보 교환을 위해 그 활용이 증대될 것으로 기대되는 기술들의 발전현황을 다루고 있다. 한가지 새겨 두어야 할 점은 IT기술 발전은 단지 정보원에서 사용자에게로의 정보전달을 가속화하는데 사용되는 교환통로라는 점이다. 본 논문에서는 교환에 대한 정의 검토를 시도하였다. 결론적으로 여러 가지 논문 검토를 통해 살펴 본 바 교환은 "의미의 공유"라고 정의할 수 있다. 이들 논문에 의하면 실질적인 정보교환통로는 국가의 경제수준에 관계없이 매우 유사하였으며, 단지 차이가 있다면 일부 국가에서는 다른 나라에 비해 좀더 접근이 용이하다는 점뿐이었다. 보편적인 교환통로로는 신문, 농민신문, 라디오, TV, 팩스, 전자우편, 휴대폰 및 인터넷 웹을 들 수 있다. 한편 통신기술이 발전함에 따라 전 세계적으로 휴대폰의 유용성이 점차 높아지고 있다. 이러한 기술을 더욱 잘 활용하기 위해서는 이 기술을 이용할 사람들이 상세하지는 않더라도 최신기술을 운용하여 필요 자료를 획득하기 위한 기본적인 작동기술을 이해하는 것이 매우 중요하다. 첨단기술활용의 장애요인으로는 농업기상정보교환이 원래 상당한 자원을 요구하고, 정교한 농업모의모형을 구동하기 위해서는 많은 비용이 든다는 점이다.

본 연구에서는 학생들의 과학 기술관련 사회쟁점(SSI)에 대한 의사결정과정을 탐색하는 방안으로 기술의 본성(NOT)을 제안하였다. SSI 의사결정과정에서 자주 언급되는 논점들은 과학 지식 및 지식의 형성과정에서 추출된 과학의 본성보다는 인간이 필요로 하는 도구를 만들거나 사회에서 벌어지는 다양한 문제를 해결하고자 개발되는 기술과 더욱 밀접하게 연관되기 때문이다. 이에, 서울 소재 대학교에 재학중인 45명의 학생들을 대상으로 GMO(황금쌀)에 대한 시나리오를 제공한 후, 그에 대한 의사결정 내용을 글로 작성하도록 하였다. 글쓰기에서 드러난 학생들의 주요 논점은 네 가지로 요약될 수 있었다. 첫째, 과학기술 인공물이 사회문제를 해결할 수 있을까? 둘째, 해당 사회문제를 해결하기 위한 다른 대안은 없을까? 셋째 과학기술 개발과정 및 관련 제품이 유통되고 사용되는 과정에서 발생할 수 있는 부작용 혹은 문제점은 없을까? 넷째, 과학기술의 불확실성이 존재하는 상황에서 어떤 대응을 해야 할까? 연구자는 이 네 가지 논점을 문헌에서 추출한 기술의 본성(NOT)(문제의 해결안으로서의 기술, 문화적 맥락과 가치의 역할, 기술적 트레이드오프, 시스템으로서의 기술, 기술적 진보)의 관점에서 해석하였다. 그 결과, NOS와 달리 NOT는 학생들의 주요 논점에서 명시적으로 드러났으며, 이를 통해 학생들의 기술에 대한 이해 수준도 가늠해 볼 수도 있었다. 이는 SSI 맥락에서 합리적인 의사결정 능력을 함양하는 방안으로서 NOT의 적용가능성을 시사한다.

Background: Organizational changes that involve healthcare hospital departments and care services of health districts, and ongoing technological innovations and developments in society increasingly expose healthcare workers (HCWs) to work-related stress (WRS). Minimizing occupational exposure to stress requires effective risk stress assessment and management programs. Methods: The authors conducted an integrated analysis of stress sentinel indicators, an integrated analysis of objective stress factors of occupational context and content areas, and an integrated analysis between nurses and physicians of hospital departments and care services of health districts in accordance with a multidimensional validated tool developed in Italy by the National Network for the Prevention of Work-Related Psychosocial Disorders. The purpose of this retrospective observational study was to detect and analyze in different work settings the level of WRS resulting from organizational changes implemented by hospital healthcare departments and care services of health districts in a sample of their employees. Results: The findings of the study showed that hospital HCWs seemed to incur a medium level risk of WRS that was principally the result of work context factors. The implementation of improvement interventions focused on team development, safety training programs, and adopting an ethics code for HCWs, and it effectively and significantly reduced the level of WRS risk in the workplace. Conclusion: In this study HCW resulted to be exposed to occupational stress factors susceptible to reduction. Stress management programs aimed to improve work context factors associated with occupational stress are required to minimize the impact of WRS on workers.

Purpose: South Korea is a close ally of the US and an important partner of China. Caught between the two most powerful countries, South Korea's strategic directions are critical. This article emphasizes that the deeper core of the US-China trade war is to improve the business environment to attract foreign direct investment (FDI) to boost the economy, rather than engaging in the trade war. Research design, data, and methodology: Considering the complexity of this issue, this article applies a systematic analytical tool, the ABCD (Agility, Benchmarking, Convergence, and Dedication) model, to provide strategic guidance for inducing investments into South Korea in the context of the ongoing US-China trade war. Results: Specifically, South Korea needs to provide a more attractive business environment along the four points: expedite commercial activities through deregulation (Agility); adopt global standards of the flexible labor markets and technological developments (Benchmarking); integrate various industries and connect them to global value chains (Convergence); and create more economy-friendly policies rather than politics-oriented ones such as protectionism (Dedication). Conclusion: This study stands out not just by utilizing the ABCD model but, also by providing more systematic analysis and practical implications, particularly within the context of the escalating US-China competition. Unlike many existing studies that analyze the broader impacts of this geopolitical rivalry, this research delves into specific strategic guidelines for South Korea to attract FDI. The findings also provide implications for multinational corporations (MNCs) in choosing the locations for their overseas operations, particularly in South Korea.
