This study analysed empirically the relationship between the CT R&D subsidy program and R&D performance of received company. According to the result, the CT R&D subsidy program is a significant factor to encourage R&D performance. Especially, the CT R&D subsidy program based on validity and reasonable system affects significantly the progress of R&D performance. Otherwise, the reasonable CT R&D subsidy program has a important role to play on company growing from a step of R&D to a step of the commercialisation performance. Thus, government should make an effort on researching data on market demand before implementing policy and communicating with company continually.

Government R&D policies generate diverse intended and unintended effects including innovator-specific and spatial effects. The Korean government has promoted R&D policies throughout the industrializing period, resulting in R&D networks focused on government research institutes geographically concentrated in the Capital region and Daedeok. This research aims to review the development of the Korean national R&D projects and analyze the recent composition of participants and spatial effects of the Korean national R&D projects. The results show that, in terms of the participants, the R&D networks generated from the Korean national R&D projects have been diversified from dominance of the government research institutes to strategic collaboration between the Korean private firms, universities, and government research institutes. Spatially, the R&D networks are not regionalized, and many private firms in most of the regions have nationwide R&D networks or still rely on the R&D networks in the Capital region.

The purpose of this paper is to give policy implications for relevant policy-makers by analyzing factors affecting performance of industrial R&D programs of the Ministry of Knowledge Economy. The independent variables are type of project leader organization(Big Enterprises, SMEs, Ventures Businesses, Public Research Institutions, Universities), cooperative or noncooperative R&D among industry-university-research institution, total number of project participant organization, total R&D investment, and the ratio of private investment to total R&D investment. The dependent variables are domestic or foreign patents granted and domestic or foreign papers accepted. The method of analysis is Poisson Regression analysis operated by STATA. The results of this research are follows ; Universities show higher R&D performance compared to enterprises or public research institutions in terms of patents and papers as well. Venture businesses show higher patent performance compared to SMEs. Inverted U-shaped relationship between total number of project participant organization and R&D performance is not supported. The higher total R&D investment, the higher R&D performance. The higher the ratio of private investment to total R&D investment, the higher R&D performance.

R&D (Research and Development) investment by companies and the government continues to increase, and the total R&D expenditure of public and private sectors in 2021 reached KRW 102 trillion, and the ratio of R&D investment to GDP was 4.96%. It ranks second in the world after Israel. This study analyzes the current status of the domestic R&D service industry and the research and development (R&D) innovation ecosystem based on the business activity survey data of the National Statistical Office in terms of improving R&D productivity of domestic R&D investment that has exceeded 100 trillion won, and analyzes the global R&D service industry and analyzes the global research service industry and R&D service Industry support government policy As a result of the analysis, in the domestic R&D ecosystem, the R&D outsourcing demand of service companies is rapidly increasing, compared to the stagnant R&D outsourcing demand of traditional manufacturing companies. In order to respond to these changing demands for technological innovation, this study suggests balanced support for R&D outsourcing for manufacturing and service companies, expansion of domestic R&D outsourcing, establishment of R&D outsourcing strategies specialized for the service industry, establishment of an open R&D ecosystem, and innovation in connection with materials/parts/equipment strategies.

It is almost impossible for firms to possess all of resources and capabilities needed to create technological innovations in modern competitive environment. This situation forces firms to conduct R&D collaboration. Therefore, this paper analyzes an effect of appropriability protecting knowledge exclusively on R&D collaboration and product innovation performance. In addition, we investigate how the governmental R&D support moderates and influences those relationships through empirical analysis. The results of moderated mediation show that the impact of appropriability on product innovation performance appears to be a common pattern in each conditional indirect effect of appropriability regardless of financial, direct, indirect R&D support of the government. The more governmental R&D supports increase over a certain level, the more conditional indirect effects of appropriability on product innovation performance increase through the vertical R&D collaboration. However, conditional indirect effects of appropriability through horizontal R&D collaboration are not significant in all levels of government R&D supports. If we utilize an analysis of moderated mediation by applying governmental R&D supports as a moderator, it is possible to analyze a significant strength of innovation policies and their performance. Therefore, this paper would make a contribution to an evolution of governmental R&D support and an effective formulation of innovation policy.

Considering that firms' view on R&D activities may differ depending on the economic situation, in this paper, R&D policies that significantly affect the business performance are identified. The analysis is conducted by dividing the analysis time-frame into before and after the economic recession. In addition, we analyze by considering the type of industry, the proportion of R&D investment, and the type of government support policy that the companies participate in. According to the results of the empirical analysis, the provision of global market and technology information is recognized to give a significant impact on business performance for both before and after the economic recession. It is shown that recognizing the importance of 'supporting self-technology development', 'enhancing technical cooperation with foreign countries', and 'enhancing the contract and intellectual property protection system' that had significant effects before the recession did not significantly affect the business performance after the recession. The analysis results could give meaningful implications to the government for deciding which R&D activities should be supported.

This paper introduces a relative comparative advantage index and a composite concentration index of university research activity in science and technology. Three hypotheses were tested regarding differences of degree of concentration based on the size of government R&D fund, location of university, and source of foundation, respectively. T-test results imply that there are significant differences of concentration based on the size of R&D fund and source of foundation, while location of university does not show a significant difference. The paper generally suggests that the lesser size of government R&D fund would lead higher level of concentration, and public funded universities tend to maintain far higher concentration ratio. The paper contributes by introducing relevant indexes for analyzing university research competence, concentration and competitiveness, and hence by proposing policy direction and implication for university competitiveness policy.

The research question of this work comes from that there have been disputes for the governance and roles of the Rural Development Agency (RDA), despite of rather excellence performances of Agricultural R&D program supported by RDA. For this reason, I meta-evaluated the internal evaluation system of Agricultural R&D program in RDA, in terms of the four meta-evaluation components such as evaluation paradigm, evaluation resources, evaluation execution and evaluation utilization. The result shows that the most serious problem is rather lower level of evaluation. Object, one of the evaluation paradigms in the R&D evaluation system of the RDA. So, this work suggested the policy alternatives which may lead the R&D evaluation system of the RDA to be developed for the performance-oriented R&D management system.

저성장, 실업률이 심화됨에 따라 일자리 중심 정책은 현 정부의 최우선 정책과제로 급부상하였다. 이러한 정책기조로부터 정부는 R&D분야에서도 고용영향평가 제도를 통해 도출된 성과를 R&D 사업의 예산배분 보조지표로 활용하는 방안을 검토하고 있다. 허나, R&D분야는 기술개발에 따른 고용창출효과의 발생 시점을 추적하기 힘들며, 기술개발로 인한 일자리에 대한 부(-)의 영향도 존재하기에 기존의 고용영향평가 방법만으로 R&D분야의 고용창출효과를 산출하는 것은 한계점이 존재한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 R&D분야에서 고용영향평가에 적용될 수 있는 일자리 유형들을 분류하고, 일자리 유형별 정의 및 R&D 사업의 일자리 유형별 사례를 분석한다. 분석결과는 정부 R&D 사업들의 고용창출효과 산출과정에 활용 시 도움이 될 가능성이 있으며, 현 R&D분야의 고용영향평가 제도에 대한 절차 및 문제점을 분석하는 차원에서 큰 의의가 있다.
