This study investigated the effects of individual characteristics (entrepreneurial self-efficacy) and environmental characteristics (social support, government support policy) on entrepreneurial intention for college students in Korea and China. In particular, the moderating effect of differences between countries (Korea and China) was demonstrated in the relationship between individual and environmental characteristics and entrepreneurial intention. The results of the empirical analysis of 626 Korean and Chinese university students are as follows. First, all of the entrepreneurial self-efficacy, social support, and government support policies perceived by Korean college students had a positive effect on entrepreneurial intention. In particular, Korean college students' entrepreneurial intentions were influenced in the order of social support, entrepreneurial self-efficacy, and government support policies. Second, all of the entrepreneurial self-efficacy, social support, and government support policies perceived by Chinese college students had a positive effect on start-up intention. In particular, entrepreneurial intention of Chinese college students was influenced in the order of government support policy, entrepreneurial self-efficacy, and social support. Third, the relationship between environmental characteristics (social support, government support policy) and entrepreneurial intention was adjusted by differences between countries. First, the positive relationship between social support and entrepreneurial intention was generally higher for Chinese college students than for Korean college students. In addition, the positive relationship between government support policy and entrepreneurial intention was higher for Chinese college students than for Korean college students as the level of awareness of government support policy increased. Finally, theoretical and practical implications for the intention of Korean and Chinese college students to start a business were presented, and the limitations of the study and future research directions were presented based on this study.

The aim of this paper is to address the factors that influence R&D performance of the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST), the representative government-supported research institute in Korea, through an empirical case study. Using the KIST R&D project data from 2004 to 2008, we investigate the determinants of R&D performance through a logistic regression analysis, and compare the results with the survey data we collected from researchers. Our results indicate that total budget, high rate of temporary researchers, and the outcome of the research director's past publications affect publishing performance, while the size of equipment, materials expenditure, and whether the research is outsourced or not affect patent registration performance and technology transfer performance. Contrary to expectations, major factors of publishing performance and that of patent performance are different respectively, and even the results of the survey data we collected from researchers show the difference. Accordingly, the findings of our study suggest the need for research institutes to consider facilitating communication with researchers and enhancing research policy analysis for improving R&D performance.

This study aims to build an AHP model that evaluates the priority of cyber security policies for the Azerbaijan information system. For this, 4 factors were constructed from components of ITU National Interest Model, whereas 5 alternatives were based on the best practices of the eight developed countries leading the cyber security field. Using the questionnaire, 24 security experts evaluated the strategic priority of such factors or alternatives. The analysis results using the AHP software showed that homeland defense and economic well-being were the dominant aspects of cyber security policy, whereas capacity building and infrastructure were the main concern of cyber security elements for Azerbaijan. This study presents the strategic priority of cyber security policies that can be adopted by Azerbaijan government. This study can contribute to developing the national cyber security guide of Azerbaijan.

Currently financial support for vocational skills development training is provided based on the NCS standard unit price set according to the NCS occupational classification. Such a standard unit price system has the advantage of reducing administrative burdens required in managing the training levy-grant system. In this paper, it is pointed out that current unit price system may distort the social integration function of vocational training policy as it is based on the tuition fees of training course. As a basis for finding a more appropriate financial support system, we analyzed what factors are influencing the training course fees set by training institutions. As a result, it was confirmed that the monopolistic nature of the training courses or the high level of willingness of pay of training participants influenced the training course fees. Therefore, the necessity of removing the influence of such factors from unit price system was suggested so as that the training policy contributes to the social integration. Furthermore, it is required to establish new support criteria centered on the government's policy judgment if the training costs of all training courses cannot be exactly estimated.

This study seeks to use the law sociological system model, to define the internal and external environmental changes that influence decisions of teacher appeals, and to analyze time-series trends of teacher appeals. This study analyzed appeal cases for 21 years from 1991 to examine number of lawsuits and relief rates by year. As a result, overall, in the case of the 1990s, the relief rates changed irregularly. However, after 2000, overall relief rates declined. This result was discussed to come from the societal request for responsibility of teachers and schools. It was suggested that, to achieve the original objective of appeal system for teachers, there should be a change toward the legal stability.

New information communication technologies are changing our society completely, offering the government new possibilities for providing citizens and businesses with better, and more efficient E-Government services. This study analyzes the direct and indirect impact of service value, innovativeness, and users' participation level on the trust toward the Government. Results from a citizen survey indicate that service value, innovativeness, and participation positively affect the trust toward the Government, and that innovativeness has been found to affect service value as well as the level of participation. However, the moderating effect of political efficacy on the relationship between two variables(service value and participation) and trust have been found to be insignifcant. Several other findings and policy implications are also discussed.

21세기 들어 기후변화와 지구 온난화로 인한 환경에 대한 정책적 관심이 높아져 왔다. 21세기 초에 집권하였던 한국의 이명박 정부에서는 '녹색 성장(green growth)' 정책을 내걸어서 환경 정책과 경제 성장 정책을 동시에 포괄하고자 하였다. 본 논문에서는 어떠한 과정을 거쳐서 녹색 성장 정책의 아젠다가 형성되었는지를 연구하고자 한다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 녹색 성장이라는 정책 아젠다가 형성되는 행태적 과정에 관한 시계열 분석과 함께 구조적 측면으로서 인지지도 분석을 수행한다. 정책 아젠다의 시계열 분석을 위하여 신문 기사와 정책 보고서를 분석하며, 이명박 대통령의 연설문을 분석하여 인지지도를 구축한다. 정책 형성에 관한 시계열 분석 결과 녹색성장의 정책 아젠다 형성에 있어서 정치적 요인에 대한 고려가 사회적 이슈나 정책적 이슈보다 중요한 역할을 수행하였다는 점을 발견할 수 있었다. 다른 한편으로 본 연구의 인지지도 분석은 이명박 대통령의 녹색성장 정책이 미래의 다중 위기에 대한 대응으로 나왔으며, 환경의 발전에 초점을 둔다기 보다는 경제적 발전 특히 일자리 창출을 지향하고 있다는 점을 보여주었다. 본 연구는 인지지도 분석을 통하여 시계열 분석으로는 발견할 수 없는 정책형성의 구조적 관계성을 이해할 수 있다는 점을 보여준다.

As the globalization accelerates, many changes are taking place in the business environment. In particular, not only large companies, but also small and medium-sized enterprises are actively looking to overseas markets. Therefore, this study is to grasp the factors affecting the performance of export SMEs. The government's support policy and related experience are expected to have a significant impact on the performance of export SMEs. In this study, a questionnaire survey was conducted for the employees of SMEs and this was analyzed. The result of the analysis shows the government's export support policy had no significant effect. Experience (industry and overseas) was found to have a significant effect on corporate performance. The results of this study are expected to provide practical guidelines for SMEs preparing for export, and show that the role of government is not important at the policy level.

This paper investigates factors that have facilitated the rapid diffusion of broadband in South Korea. It finds that the quick spread of broadband access in South Korea is the result of combining the government's strategic ICT policy considering cultural traits, businesses'competitive efforts, and the timely explosion of domestic demand for IT service. This paper also discusses the impact of broadband diffusion on the digital divide. It finds that although there are still regional and age gaps in broadband access, the Korean government and businesses are working to alleviate these problems through various ways from systemic to physical ones. While the deployment of broadband cannot eliminate every issue of the digital divide, broadband access minimizes the digital divide by lowering the barrier to inequitable access to information. This paper concludes with a number of recommendations that address selected policy issues related to the spread of broadband Internet for its successful implementation.
