Abstract
This paper aims to survey the supply status and demand of the scientific & technological information among the 1,059 small enterprises demanding the support in Busan, Ulsan and Gyeongsangnam-do which have been supported by the Branch of KISTI and to propose the approaches to improve the scientific & technological information system. As the results of this research, Busan, Ulsan and Gyeongsangnam-do have very poor business and R&D environment to the extent that 96.3% of businesses was small business (medium business only for 3.7%) and 31% of total small & medium-cized businesses has less than 10 R&D workers. Small & medium-sized businesses which have demanded the information to KISTI account for only 0.2% in average for 3 years. The information demand types are market trend (26.8%), industrial property right (22.1%), business proposal (19.9%), item exploration (16.8%) and quality certification (8.4%). The supplied informations include scientific and technological data survey, market survey, translation and information application seminar. The business achievements from the information supply include 379 cases in technological development improvement and launch of products, 88 cases in technology certifications and 414 cases in patents and utility design application and registration. By the analysis results, the small and medium-sized businesses have difficulties in using R&D information by themselves. Thus, it's proposed to establish the science and technology information center in southeastern region and develop the information advisors specialized in local specialty industry categories. It's also proposed to expand the manpower and budget of KISTI concerning the information support for small & medium-sized businesses.
본 연구는 중소기업의 과학기술정보 요구 및 제공 실태를, KISTI 부산, 울산, 경남지원에 지원을 요청한 1,059개 중소기업을 대상으로 파악하여 개선방안을 제언하기 위해 수행되었다. 분석결과, 첫째, 부울경은 중소기업의 96.3%가 소기업(중기업 3.7%)이고, 전체 중소기업의 31%가 10인 이하의 R&D 인력을 갖추고 있을 정도로 기업과 R&D환경이 열악하였다. 둘째, KISTI에 정보지원을 요청한 중소기업이 3년간 평균 0.2%에 불과하였다. 셋째, 요구 유형별로는 시장동향(26.8%), 산재권(22.1%), 사업제안(19.9%), 아이템발굴 (16.8%), 품질인증(8.4%) 순이었다. 지원정보는 과학기술정보조사, 시장조사, 번역, 정보활용세미나 등이다. 지원에 따른 성과는 기술개발개선 및 제품출시 379건, 기술인증 88건, 특허/실용신안 출원등록 414건으로 파악되었다. 이상의 결과를 토대로 중소기업이 자력으로 R&D 정보를 활용하는데 어려움이 있는 만큼, 가칭 동남권과학기술정보지원센터를 설치할 것, 지역 특화산업분야 정보전문가를 양성할 것, KISTI의 중소기업 정보지원 인력과 예산을 확대할 것을 제언하였다.
