Various concepts and practices of public deliberation have been exercised over the last three decades in western countries for science and technology (ST) governance. There has been a general social consensus for the need of such new governance notwithstanding, ends and means to achieve it varied. Among various rationales, while normative and substantive perspectives are explicitly claimed in public as reasons for public engagement in ST policy making, instrumental perspectives tend to be implicitly arranged by interested parties and still affecting policy significantly. This paper therefore, examines the implications of such instrumental perspectives in public engaged ST governance. To do so, this paper analyses the discourses and practices of public deliberation for ST governance in the UK from the late 1990's until the mid 2000's. It examines the proposals made by various policy institutions and two real public deliberations- the GM Dialogue for commercialization of genetically modified crops and the Committee on Radioactive Waste Management(CoRWM)'s programme. This study finds that policy institutions tried to employ public deliberation as strategic instrument for their policy interest, which contrasted with their outwardly claimed rationales of democratic policy making and better quality in decision for ST governance.

While the ship finance industry has long been struggling with diminishing involvements from the private sector, government-run banks have consistently increased their presence in maritime finance. To address such concerns, this research conceptually explores the creation of blockchain technology-driven security token offering (STO) platforms. To suggest a sound platform model, this piece first examines key design principles. Based on the integral perspective on the digital platform, this paper exhibits three core design principles to create a virtuous platform ecosystem, then sets out STO platform design guidelines. This paper further explores an STO platform model by considering conventional ship finance systems and practices in Korea. The STO platform has three main effects; 1) the wider availability of STOs can enlarge both the scope and size of ship finance users, 2) the activation of security token transactions leads to an increase in participation, and 3) possibilities to create complementary innovative financial services can further encourage the participation of private investors. The STO ecosystem may contribute to the shipping, shipbuilding, and ship finance industries by enhancing its attractiveness to the general public and by creating positive externalities for Busan as a maritime finance center.

Gifford(1992, 1993, 1997, 1998)는 제한적 주의력(limited attention)의 관점에서 벤처경영자, R&D 관리자, 혁신자, 벤처 캐피탈의 의사결정을 연구하였다. 창업경영자 (entrepreneurs)는 기술 개발, 제품디자인 개발, 원자재 확보, 제품 생산, 유통채널 확보, 가격정책 결정, 판매촉진 및 마케팅정책 결정 등의 다양한 경영활동을 수행하고 끊임없이 창업기회(entrepreneurial opportunities)를 추구하는 사람이다. Gifford 는 벤처 경영자를 창업기회와 다양한 경영활동의 포트폴리오(portfolio)를 수행하고 관리하는 대리인으로 간주한 '마술사 모형(Juggler model)' 을 제시하고 이익극대화의 관점에서 대리인의 의사결정을 분석하였다. 그녀는 모형을 통하여 특정시점을 지난 기존 메뉴를 포기 하고 새로운 창업기회를 평가하는 '포기정책(discard policy)' 과 아울러 기존 메뉴를 관리한 이후 새로운 창업기회를 평가하는 '연령검사(age inspection)' 를 동시에 사용한다는 결과를 도출하였다. 본 논문은 Gifford의 마술사 모형(Juggler model)을 수정, 발전시켜 창업경영자의 의사결정을 분석하였다. Gifford의 모형은 성장하지 않는 창업기회의 포트폴리오 결정에 대한 모형이기 때문에 창업기회의 성장성이 벤처경영자의 의사결정에 어떤 영향을 미치는가에 대한 논의가 전혀 없었다. 본 논문에서는 창업경영자를 기업가적 활동을 수행하는 사람으로 정의하고 벤처경영자의 의사결정을 분석하였다. 성장률이 큰 기업에서 기업가적 활동을 수행할 때 창업경영자가 창출하는 기업의 현재가치는 크게 증가하게 되는 반면 성장률이 떨어지는 기업에서 기업가적 활동을 수행할때 창업경영자가 창출하는 기업의 현재가치는 크게 감소하게 된다. 또, 창업경영자는 성장률이 큰기업을 선택하면 관리횟수가 줄어들게 되고 이익의 감소 없이 빠르게 수확할 수가 있다. 국가의 정책과 제도가 창업경영자를 보다 성 장률이 높은 기업에서 기업가활동을 하게 한다면 국가경제의 성장속도는 빨라지게 될 것이다.

As the importance of the biohealth industry has recently increased, innovative government support is required. However due to the limitation in the support framework, a complementary support system for commercialization is needed. This study examines the concept of TRL which the existing support being following, and investigates domestic support system and overseas support cases. It points out that the current TRL-based government support policy has limitations for the commercialization of the biohealth industry, which requires a lot of time and investment. The new concept of the support system reflecting the characteristics of the bio-industry and solving the problems of late R&D stage was proposed and connected with the policy direction. It is meaningful that the role as a guideline for overcoming the gap between research and industry for the commercialization of the biohealth.

Information sharing is one of the key factors enhancing government efficiency and public convenience. However, critics argue that Korean government is now facing various kinds of barriers such as insufficient collaboration among agencies, inappropriate statutes, and technical problems. Thus, this study aims to develop policy alternatives that help resolve the existing problems suggested above. In order to achieve research objectives, this study employs both quantitative and qualitative methods as ways to investigate different dimensions of information sharing in government. Both survey and interview include six dimensions such as organization, technology, culture, management, policy and law. The results show that Korean government needs to implement following alternatives; developing its own database that helps support government decision making, changing organizational culture, continuous extension in terms of the number of object information and affiliated agency, and developing a statute dealing with government information sharing.

This study examine the effects of changes in the dividend income tax rates, the corporate dividend policy, and the ownership structure on the stock valuation. The empirical findings indicate that : (1)firm's ownership structure is positively correlated with stock return ; (2) the interaction of firm's ownership structure and the dividend policy is positively correlated with stock return ; (3) the interaction of the changes in the dividend income tax rates and dividend policy is correlated with stock return ; (4) the interaction of the changes in the dividend income tax rates and firm's ownership structure is correlated with stock return ; (5) the interaction of the increases in the dividend income tax rates, firm's ownership structure, and the dividend policy is positively correlated with stock return. This suggests that non-taxing of capital gains provide tax shelters to individual investors and investors prefer non-taxing income to dividend income.

Korea is faced with the challenge of adapting to the world's fastest - growing low birthrate, aging society, and low growth with low interest rate era. With low fertility and aging population, the factors of financial income of health insurance are decreasing, and the increase of public interest in health, high cost medical technology and the development of medicine are leading to increase expenditure of health insurance. In this study, I will examine the strengthen protection of health insurance, financial stabilization, and fairness of medical care. First, the present status and limitations of health insurance were identified through domestic policy report, domestic and foreign literature, and precedent research. Second, the foreign health insurance policy measures to stabilize the finances were examined separately. Based on this study, in order to maintain sustainable health insurance through reinforcement and financial stabilization of health insurance, the current financial income structure of health insurance must be renovated. It will be necessary to expand government subsidies and discover new tax revenues. In addition, a policy to save finances by reorganizing the medical bill payment system and medical delivery system will also be needed.
