This study analyzes the current status of how to manage the national R&D program and the systematic problems of R&D planning, evaluation, and management, and then shows the strategy to support special agency of national R&D management for effective operation. Additionally, this study seeks to search for the macro methods to coordinate and to develop the roles and functions of special agency of national R&D management, and to promote efficiency and productivity of the National R&D investment. First of all, this study generally introduces the national R&D and surveys each special agency of national R&D management by analyzing the status of each agency charged by Ministry. Also, this study defines special agency of national R&D management by investigating each agency's status based on law and finds out the strategy to support special agency of national R&D management for effective operation. Each special agency of national R&D management is based on acts, administrative orders, or blanket contracts and takes whole charge of each National R&D program. The organization forms of special agency of national R&D management can be classified into two forms: One is a form to plan, to evaluate, and to manage the National R&D program and other is a form to research program together with the functions of planning, evaluation, and management. Therefore, this study defines special agency of national R&D management as "an organization, having a legal basis(acts, administrative orders), funded and charged by government for executing R&D planning, evaluation and management of R&D program." This study shows the strategy to operate special agency of national R&D management efficiently by analyzing each agency's current status and comparing each agency with each other. Moreover, every agency has a committee member pool, and the pool is classified well according to the fields of work and technology. Also, the special agency of national R&D management has its own organization to manage performances of program.

Based on the signaling theory, this study examined whether startups are more likely to attract venture investment when receiving government R&D subsidies. First, we reviewed previous studies of the investment decision-making process of venture capitalists and understood the conditions that influence investment decisions. Based on previous studies on the signal effect of government subsidies, particularly government R&D grants, on inducing private fund investment, this study revealed a mechanism to induce venture investment by startups. In addition, in order to verify whether government R&D subsidies have the effect of inducing venture investment, an empirical analysis was conducted based on data from startups under seven years and certified as a venture companies in 2021. This paper used PSM(Propensity Score Matching) method and DID(Difference In Difference) analysis for an empirical study to analyze the average treatment effect on the treated group(beneficiary startups of government R&D grants). As a result of empirical analysis, companies that receive more government R&D subsidies after starting a business are more likely to attract venture investment. From two to three years after conducting the first government R&D project, startups that received government R&D grants attracted more venture investment than those that did not. The results of this paper demonstrate that government R&D projects can also affect the venture investment ecosystem, giving policy implications to government R&D projects targeting startups. It is also expected to suggest strategic implications to startups that need new funding.

In 2021, Virgin Orbit converted a 747-400 aircraft into an air launch platform, and successfully launched it twice in February and July. Compared to the existing ground launch, interest in the air launch is increasing due to its great utility, such as its independence from the launch location or weather, cost reducing factor, shorter launch preparation time, and its benefit pursuant to altitude and speed. Additionally, as small satellites have similar performance to mid/large satellites in the past due to the miniaturization and precision of electronic equipment, small satellite launches are expected to dominate in the future. In this paper, institutional certification methods such as domestic, overseas, civilian and military airworthiness certification regulations/procedures are reviewed to ensure flight safety of aerial projectiles using large domestic civil aircraft, and applicable civil and military airworthiness certification technology standards are reviewed and analyzed. Additionally, we will review and suggest effective airworthiness certification application plans that reflect the reality, and present airworthiness certification standards (draft) for aerial launch vehicles, by analyzing applicable airworthiness certification technical standards when remodeling aerial launch vehicles.

This study reviews the issue of public interests of technologies required in industrial technology policy as well as the demand for changes in industrial technology policy as result of the migration from catch-up to post catch-up innovation system. In fact, the importance of public interests which served as the rationale for government intervention in industrial technology policy have gradually faded, which invited controversies over the legitimacy and effectiveness of government intervention in promoting specific technologies or industries. Today, the existing policy framework has to change to correspond to the post catch-up environment which requires creative technology development. In this context, the Korean government needs to reduce direct support for certain companies or technologies, but increase R&D investment in energy, environment and health and welfare to enhance public interests of technology innovation activities.

The governmental R&D projects have put a great emphasis on returns on R&D investment through development of market- and customer-oriented technologies and their commercialization. A successful commercialization of the technology developed from a R&D project relies on development of the technology intriguing customers, establishment of effective commercialization strategies throughout the stages of R&D planning and development, and interactive communication between the technology developer and a private company that will do a business with the technology. The business modeling helps accomplish the requirements for the successful commercialization. The past literature about technology commercialization does not provide a systematic procedure in developing a business model for the governmental R&D project. In this study, we proposed a systematic procedure developing a business model integrating peculiar characteristics of governmental R&D and viewpoints of technology developers and professionals of technology commercialization. It can be a useful guideline for developing a business model for the governmental R&D project.

It is expected that the technology of the fourth industrial revolution will increase the productivity and efficiency of the industrial world. Many countries are providing political and financial supports to make big advances in the technology. Especially, developed countries, such as USA, Germany and Japan, are trying to use the technology for manufacturing and finance industry, and to increase the opportunity of test-bed environment. However, many restrictions hinder adopting non-governmental technology in defense due to various limitations such as national security and protection of technology. In this study, we propose methods to adopt new and non-governmental technology in defense through by investigating internal and external policies related to technology and case studies. First, it is necessary to expand opportunities to let small and medium sized companies participate in defense R&D projects. Second, it is important to improve R&D systems for introducing new and non-governmental technology on the defense industry. Third, it is needed to increase test-bed environments for experimenting and evaluating new technologies in the defense industry. Thus, we expect that the proposed methods will help form strategies for small and medium sized companies, and analyze trends for introducing new technologies in the defense industry.

This paper attempts to explore the spatial structure of inventor networks and their determinants among 230 shi-gun-gu regions in Korea by investigating the residence of co-inventors engaged in Korean patent applications to the Korean Intellectual Office and exploiting a zero inflated negative binomial model to accommodate an estimation to the count nature of a dependent variable and its excess of zeros. Several variables are found to affect the spatial linkage of inventor networks. Spatial links extend beyond the region if it has more own R&D-related specific assets (private R&D, patent productivity, population, education); if it is physically close to and has technological similarity with the other region. The assets of the other region plays a positive role if, in a similar way, the other region has more R&D-related specific assets.
