This study empirically examined the career orientations of researchers who worked for government-sponsored research institutes. Specifically, we considered the individual level's variables of age, project, and organization characteristics as the influential factors of researchers' career orientations and then investigated the relationship between career orientation and work attitudes. The results, based on the survey about 373 researchers, showed that both project career orientation and technical transfer career orientation were higher as grade level or age was higher. Moreover, the preference of career orientation was changed according to the mission of institute and the project type. Finally, the study suggested some practical implications on career development management for government-sponsored research institutes and discussed the limitations and the further research directions on career development of researchers.

Even though the pre-feasibility study was introduced in 1998, it mainly has focused on transportation social overhead capital(SOC) such as road and railroad. Last year, however, the government newly launched R&D project area for the pre-feasibility study. This paper tries to analyze the pre-feasibility study methodology and system that applied to R&D facility, cluster, and sized R&D infrastructure projects. In depth study of economic, policy, and AHP analysis, this paper shows that the preliminary feasibility study have some caveats and suggests a way of improvement for making up for limitation. Main suggestions are as follows; First, to improve the fit in R&D sector analysis, using consistent method is important. Second, technology analysis is essential for R&D evaluation. Third, technology experts should take part in AHP analysis.

Since R&D (Research and Development) of small companies is becoming more and more important, and government R&D grants are still increasing. This study aims to investigate the factors influencing R&D performance of small companies and necessary capabilities of them. Based on empirical study of 3,636 small companies which participated and completed government R&D grant project, technology innovation capability and technology commercializing capability of small companies are positively related with organizational competences, with moderating effects of entrepreneurship. In addition, their R&D capabilities are not significantly related with R&D commercializing performance directly, but mediated with organizational competences. The results of study suggest implications of measuring the R&D performance of small companies and government support policy with the importance of organizational competences as an intermediate variable of R&D performances.

As a result of the study, the poorest keywords were information, big data, management, policy, government, law, and smart. In addition, as a result of network analysis, related research was being conducted on topics such as data industry policy, data governance performance, defense, governance, and data public. The four topics derived through topic modeling were "DG policy," "DG platform," "DG in laws," and "DG implementation," of which research related to "DG platform" showed an increasing trend, and "DG implementation" tended to shrink. This study comprehensively summarized data governance-related studies. Data governance needs to expand research areas from various perspectives and related fields such as data management and data integration policies at the organizational level, and related technologies. In the future, we can expand the analysis targets for overseas data governance and expect follow-up studies on research directions and policy directions in industries that require data-based future industries such as Industry 4.0, artificial intelligence, and Metaverse.

The social impact of science and technology is increasing, the meaning of technology assessment is not small in modern society, Specially, the technology assesment(TA) has been institutionalized and performed by Korean administration and its official results has reflected directly in the S&T policy. Therefore, the technology assesment is a device that prepare the negative effects of S&T and the social controversy in advance. To select the target technology of technology assessment will be done carefully in various perspective and concerned with the characteristics of technology assessment emphasizing social assessment, the institutional system of selecting one technology in each year and the contents and methods of evaluation that are determined in accordance with technology characteristics. However, the method of selecting target technology in TA is mostly peformed by qualitative discussion and vote rather than by reflecting various opinion and understanding TA until now. In this paper, we developed the indicator has to be considered to select target technology for TA by using factor analysis. Developed indicator is consist of five factor, such as the need for social consensus and the size of social/cultural impact etc., and we weight each factor by using Analytic Hierarchy Process(AHP). Futhermore, we show the example how to applicate directly these indicator and weights to select target technology and suggest institutional application in TA. Though using developed indicator in this paper, we expect to select appropriate technology for institutional TA and the application of TA results in society and public policy can be strengthened.

The purpose of this study is to find problems of Geographical Cluster and to analyze relationships between problems of a Geographical Cluster and its performance. The problems of geographical cluster include those of technical fusion, increase of incidental expenses, conditions of settlement, and absence of industrial infrastructures, and performance factors are satisfaction with the cluster policy and within cluster firm's performance. According to the results of analyses based on the data collected from 75 firms located in the Gumi electronic industry cluster complex, first, problems of technical fusion, and absence of industrial infrastructures had a negative(-) effect on satisfaction with the cluster policy. Second, absence of industrial infrastructures had also a negative(-) effect on within cluster firm's performance. In the conclusion, further discussion, limitation of this study and future direction were suggested.

If you look at the regulations about ICT, you can notice that many of them are not realistic or difficult to carry out. The government has been planned for the development of ICT technology by announcing '3-year economic innovation'. However the enterprises argued that those planning rather ruined our development. The world's highest technology is in South Korea, but we couldn't make a good result in the national index. Therefore we will find some solutions of several points of view of regulations in our country which we handle in the text.

This study investigates the factors determining accounting method for R&D costs (capitalizevs. expense) in Korea. Using agency theory and other economic factors, probit and regression model have been developed to distinguish between firms choosing different accounting alternatives for R&D costs. The results are consistent to debt contract, R&D burden and regulation hypotheses both in probit and regression analysis. The size variable has opposite sign in univariate t-test and probit analysis, which may be due to the differences of political environment between Korea and the US. Generally, the results are consistent to those of previous research. The evidence suggests that larger firms with higher leverage and larger burden of R&D costs are more likely to capitalize R&D costs, while regulated firms are more likely to expense R&D costs.

This study aims to provide information about the priority setting and budget coordination of government R&D spendings in Korea. Based on the result of "survey, analysis and evaluation of national R&D programs" in FY 1999, this paper reviews the government R&D expenditures by concerned variables such as program objectives, sector of performance, character of work and technology fields. This paper also carries out an analysis on the government R&D supports as ways for the promotions of high technology-based start-ups and SMEs and regional innovation activities. It is found that relatively high investment is made in the industrial technology areas and development research, and there are some redundancies of R&D programs among ministries and agencies in terms of technology fields, program objectives and character of work. Policy implications and future research directions are suggested.
