This paper examines three perspectives on science and technology innovation that are aiming at resolving the social problems. Based on the relationship between technocratic experts and civil society in the process of social problem solving innovation, we will discuss 1) expert-centered approach, 2) citizen-centered approach, and 3) expert-citizen collaboration approach. After summarizing these three perspectives, we suggest the direction of development of science and technology innovation policies that solve social problems. It is necessary to identify the social problem solving type innovation policy as a strategic niche for the transformation of the innovation policy, and to develop the future direction in the following ways: 1) deepening the collaborative approach, 2) introducing the sustainability transition approach, and 3) reconstructing the innovation policy using new concept of innovation.

Innovation clusters have developed a key policy indicator in the level of national competitiveness. Many countries have enhanced their regional competitiveness by fostering innovation clusters at the national, regional, and industrial level. In Korea, the cluster policy has been introduced and employed to a national policy as a means of facilitating a regional innovation for over two decades. This study analyze that the changes of the institutional, physical and social configurations of innovation clusters. In particular, we identified configuration factors which are the growth and development impact factors of individual subjects from the case study of the Daedeok Innopolis. Also, the factors are derived and identified priorities of the configuration factors by using Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method in long term perspective. As a result, we provide the growth of individual innovation subjects, as well as the growth of the cluster caused by the cyclic causality among configuration factors. Also, we can suggest that innovation policy from priorities of configuration factors for innovation cluster which the priorities have lessons for policy implementation and new cluster policy agenda in Korea, in specific, the Daedeok Innopolis.

This paper aims to provide policy implications by exploring the role of universities in the Quadruple Helix model with a focus on the social sector. The quadruple helices model complements the triple helices model, which has limitations in reflecting social change, to present a process of innovation creation through interaction between various social actors based on the democracy of knowledge. Based on this, this paper proposes a 'social entrepreneurial university' model that applies the results of the review of democracy of knowledge and social innovation theory to the entrepreneurial university model. In the quadruple helix model of social democratization and inclusion, it is important for social entrepreneurial universities to enhance the role of education, while dedicating their teaching and research capacities to creating and facilitating platforms that structure and promote the interaction of a wide range of local actors.

This study is an empirical analysis that makes a survey on the evaluation of innovation cluster. For this purpose, we explore a case of innovation cluster, the Pangyo Techno Valley. This survey applies a research frame and evaluation contents that the innovation performance which is the institutional, physical, and social configurations of innovation clusters. In particular, this empirical analysis identifies the configuration factors which are the rational influence factors of individual subjects, in order to foster innovation clusters from the case study of the Pangyo Techno Valley. We can suggest that innovation policy from the results of innovation performance by applied configuration factors for evaluation of innovation cluster in order to enhance and facilitate for innovation cluster. Also, this study can provide lessons for regional policy implementation and new cluster policy agenda in Korea.

This study reviews the emergence of new innovation policy paradigm in advanced countries and their impacts on the development of innovation theories in 1980s and 1990s. It shows that the characteristics of new policy paradigm are the emphasis on the user-orientedness and the socio-economic aspects of innovation and the preference of capability enhancement of innovators over resource subsidy This new perspectives of innovation policies had effects on the emergence and development of 'the innovation system theory' which is based on the key concepts such as interactive teaming, innovating capability and national systems of innovation. In spite of the development of the innovation system theory, it has some problems to be solved for the innovation policy design because 'the social' is still peripheral factors in the constitution on the innovation system theory. This study makes some suggestions to incorporate the social dimension of innovation into the innovation system theory.

현대사회가 당면한 다양한 문제를 해결하는 주체로 '제4섹터(the fourth sector)'가 주목받고 있다. 제4섹터는 사회적경제 기업으로 대표되는 제3섹터의 지나친 정부 의존도와 서비스 모델 동형화의 문제점을 해결하고자 등장하였다(Meadows, 1972; Howaldt and Schwarz, 2010). 이러한 제4섹터의 핵심 주체로서 소셜벤처가 언급되고 있다(경기연구원, 2018). 그러나 아직까지 소셜벤처에 대한 학술적 및 정책적 개념이 모호한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 사회의 포용적 성장을 도모하기 위해 제4섹터로서의 소셜벤처 정의와 특성을 명확히 하고, 소셜벤처 생태계 활성화를 위한 발전전략을 연구하고자 한다.

Social Network Service is a web-based service that allows the people to construct relationship among users with same interest and supports various activities such as managing personal relations and sharing information or contents. The objective of this study is analysing the influence of the innovativeness on the use intention in SNS based on the UTAUT model. This study establishes a theoretical model that includes four independent variables(performance expectancy, effort expendancy, social influence, innovativeness) and two moderating variables(gender and innovativeness). The empirical results obtained in a sample of 403 university students are followings; 1) The use intention is positively influenced by the performance expectancy, effort expendancy, social influence and innovativeness. The effort expectancy is the strongest predictor of the use intention 2) The gender has a moderating effect whileas the innovativeness has no moderating effect. For men, the stronger the effect of performance expectancy on the use intention and for women, the stronger the effect of social influence on the use intention.
