Small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) have strong incentives to engage in open innovation to enhance innovation efficiency and effectiveness due to their 'liability of smallness.' Previous research examined the performance effects of various open innovation practices, but whether coupled open innovation practices positively affect SMEs' firm performance is somewhat controversial. To resolve the issue, this study examined the effects of coupled open innovation activities on SMEs' firm performance using Heckman's two stage model to control endogeneity of the firms' self-selection bias in open innovation engagement. This study used the Korean Innovation Survey (KIS) 2020 collected by the Science and Technology Policy Institute (STEPI), and tested the effects of SMEs' coupled open innovation activities, R&D and non-R&D cooperation, on their innovative and financial performance indicators. The results showed that SMEs' R&D cooperation positively affects the new-to-market (NTM) product innovation only. Moreover, SMEs' non-R&D cooperation has positive effects on the product innovation, business process innovation, new-to-the-market product innovation, and new-to-firm (NTF) product innovation. However, the results showed that both R&D and non-R&D innovation cooperation activities have no significant effects on SMEs' financial performance indicators. This study contributes to research on SMEs' open innovation and provides insights for SMEs' managers and policymakers.

기술융합 정책이 사회 전반에 걸친 파급효과를 극대화하는 방향으로 전개되고 있는 것이 글로벌 추세임에 비해, 우리나라는 기술융합을 단순히 기술혁신의 수단으로 파악하거나 관련 산업에 대한 단기적 시장성과 위주로 정책을 추진하고 있다. 따라서 기술융합의 광범위한 파급효과를 고려하여 기술뿐만 아니라 법, 제도, 문화, 사회 전반에 걸친 효과를 극대화하는 방향으로 관련 정책이 수립될 필요가 있다. 본 고에서는 산업연구원의 우리나라 기술융합의 문제점과 정책적 시사점 보고서를 통해 우리나라 기술융합의 현황과 문제점 등에 대해 살펴본다.

과학기술기본법 제12조 및 성과평가법 7조에 따라 국가연구개발 투자의 효율성 제고를 위해 장기간 대규모 예산이 투입되는 사업, 사업간 중복조정 또는 연계가 필요한 사업, 다수 중앙행정기관이 공동으로 추진하는 사업, 국가적 사회적 현안으로 대두된 사업 등에 대해 특정평가를 실시하고 있다. 사업군 특정평가는 "08년부터 "17년까지 총 17회 실시되었으나 사업군 단위의 평가보다 사업군 내 개별사업 중심으로 평가가 수행되어 왔다. 본 연구의 목적은 사업군 특정평가의 평가틀을 제시하는 것으로 기존의 사업 단위 특정평가 방법을 차용해왔던 방식을 사업군 단위 특정평가에 적합한 평가틀을 제안하고자 한다. 평가의 계층구조에서 사업평가와 정책평가 사이에 위치한 사업군 평가에 대한 틀 제시는 향후 과학기술분야의 정책평가 도입을 위한 탐색연구에 해당한다. 이러한 연구목적의 달성을 위해 먼저 기존에 수행되었던 사업군 특정평가의 사례들에 메타평가를 수행하여 현 사업군 평가틀의 한계를 조사하고, 국내외 정책평가 사례 분석을 통해 사업군 특정평가 틀에 활용 가능한 벤치마킹하고자 하였다. 이러한 기존 사업군 평가의 한계와 선행 정책 평가의 시사점을 바탕으로 사업군 특정평가틀을 제시하였다. 메타평가는 선행 문헌조사를 기초하여 본 연구에 적합한 메타평가틀을 구성하여 적용하였고, 국내외 정책평가 사례에 대한 선정과 분석은 정책평가 전문가들의 지문과 면접조사를 활용하였다.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the process of changes in regional science and technology policies in Korea and to seek future development directions. In Korea, regional science and technology policies have been implemented since the introduction of the local autonomy system. Since then, it has been implemented in earnest with the establishment of a central government-level plan. The regional science and technology policies have been developed to this day by interacting with national science and technology policies and regional development policies. Nevertheless, due to the path dependence and lock-in effect in the accumulated process, the regional science and technology policies are still subordinate to central government policies. Thus, the establishment of an independent ecosystem for local science and technology is still insufficient. Furthermore, the gap between regions is deepening, such as the growing of aging population, population decline due to low birth rates, job losses due to the recession of local key industry, and the concentration of the youth population in the metropolitan area. The transformation path such as digital transformation and carbon neutrality paradigm is expected to further widen regional disparities. In order to address a comprehensive problem, the implementing system of regional science and technology policies need to be newly established. A framework for reinvention of regional science and technology policy needed in the era of grand societal challenges have to be developed.

Recently, emerging countries have been paying attention to Korean economic development policy, trying to adopt the Korean regional innovation model. Korea is also interested in exporting its regional innovation model and enhancing economic cooperation with those countries. This paper aims to analyze the capacity-building programs of the Korean regional innovation model for emerging countries and suggests policies for it. For this purpose, the local innovators' participation patterns in the process of collaborative learning/networking/interaction are investigated with a focused group-interview method. From an analysis of the programs supported by Korean organizations, this study finds that the correlation coefficient between the training time of capacity building and the participation rate of local members' collaborative learning is very high (0.975). Since the correlation coefficient between the participation rates of collaborative learning and networking is relatively low (0.667), a policy to link local collaborative learning to networking should be provided. As the correlation coefficient between the participation rates of networking and interaction is high (0.950), networking is a key to regional innovation. This study recommends activity programs to promote networking among local innovators, rather than training and consulting programs. As introduced in the Chungnam Techno Park case, this study suggests that the capacity-building program should include programs to initiate a collaborative learning network, to create a local-demand, regional innovation model, and to operate the regional innovation platform, which should be done by local innovators in the emerging countries.

Although the OTT industry is an area that needs urgent policy response as a priority area under the new industry regulatory reform master plan, various issues are occurring due to the lack of related institutional infrastructure. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the policy conflict structure in which regulatory obstacles and delays occur by listening to the opinions of major stakeholders and using the Q methodology to identify the regulatory innovation demand of the OTT industry. The analysis results are as follows. The analysis results are as follows. First, in the implementation of OTT-related policies, it is necessary to improve the standard system for the method of settlement of copyright fees. Second, it is required to improve the support method that can reduce the burden of OTT operators' fund. Third, it is necessary to supplement the system by changing the regulatory application method for potential regulatory issues related to zero-rating. This study can be utilized in the process of introducing a system in which various stakeholders are connected and developed in a complex manner in the process of regulatory innovation in new industries and services.
