This study aims to identify the characteristics of the regional innovation system(RIS) and the determinants of innovation performance of SMEs. Data were collected from a questionnaire survey on 64 SMEs in the Daejeon and Chungcheong regions to uncover the relationship between capabilities, regional innovation capacities and innovation performance. The moderating effects of regional innovation capacities on the relationship between firms' innovation capabilities and performance were also tested. Empirical results revealed that R&D, marketing and entrepreneurial orientation had positive effects. The moderating effect of regional innovation capabilities on the relationship between entrepreneurial orientation (risk taking) and performance was also confirmed.

This research analyzed regional innovation capabilities and technological activities of firms in Chungnam province of South Korea on the basis of a questionnaire survey of 64 regional manufacturing firms. The existence and level of regional innovation capabilities were measured by the perceptions of firms, a core actor in the regional innovation system. The analysis result revealed that research capabilities of academia, capabilities of R&D institutes, technological capabilities of industry, and governmental policy support were recognized as major capabilities of the regional innovation system. Regional proximity was also found to have significant influence on firms‘ sources of technological innovation and selection of collaboration partners. Practical as well as theoretical implications of the findings and future research directions were discussed at the last part.

지역경제의 성장과 혁신은 국가경쟁력 강화를 위한 중추적인 요인이다. 본 연구는 ICT산업인프라가 집적된 대구 및 경북지역의 ICT산업의 현황을 살펴보고, 혁신가치사슬 개념을 적용하여 지역혁신역량을 평가하기 위한 분석도구를 제시하였다. 지역혁신가치사슬은 지역경제 활성화와 국가경쟁력 향상에 영향을 미치는 지역혁신역량을 평가하는 도구로, 지역혁신체제의 인적, 물적, 제도적 인프라와 자원을 포함하는 개념이다. 지역단위의 혁신역량 분석은 지역 내의 혁신자원의 수준을 파악하고 혁신프로세스를 평가하는 데 필요하다. 그러나 대부분의 지역혁신역량에 관한 연구들이 혁신의 투입과 산출단계에 중점을 두고 있어, 본고에서는 전환단계를 포함한 혁신프로세스에 대한 통합적인 분석을 하였다. 이러한 지역 혁신가치사슬은 다른 지역 및 국가 단위 혁신체제에도 일반화하여 적용이 가능할 것으로 기대된다.

This study aims at analyzing the structure of the regional industries in Daejeon, including Choongchung area and the measurement of Regional Innovation Ability Index. The study also investigates the environment of the regional innovation activities in terms of Regional Location Quotient Index. The study mainly focuses on the estimation of four types of innovation ability indexes, i.e., human resource, knowledge creation, knowledge transfer and application, and innovation supporting finance output market. The findings indicate that Daejeon showed the highest index 2.977, and Seoul recorded 2.650 as the second rank. The indexes of Choongnam and Choongbuk were 2.034 and 2.082, respectively, which reached to 76%~78% of that of Seoul. The indexes of the other cities accounted for only 50%~60% of that of Deajeon city. This study concludes that there is a regional difference particularly in the knowledge creation area.

한국정부는 지역산업정책의 추진이 시작되는 1999년부터 연평균 약4,970억원을 지역산업육성을 위해 지속적으로 투자하였다. 본 연구는 이러한 지속적인 지역산업 육성정책이 실질적으로 기업의 기술혁신역량강화에 기여했는지 알아보기 보기 위하여, 대전테크노파크에서 2016년 조사한 '대전지역 혁신자원 조사' 자료를 이용하여 대전테크노파크가 기업의 기술혁신역량에 미치는 효과를 알아보고자 한다. 본 연구는 우선 테크노파크와 기술혁신에 대한 선행연구를 통해 기업의 혁신역량 측정 및 이에 영향을 미치는 변수들을 분석하였다. 기업의 기술혁신정량지표인 특허의 결정요인과 슘페터가설 모형에 기초하여 기업의 기술혁신을 측정하는 종속변수로 특허수를 선택하여 이에 영향을 미치는 기업변수(매출액, 매출액제곱, 수출액, 영업이익)와 R&D변수(R&D인력, R&D자금), 그리고 대전테크노파크의 지원여부와 벤처기업지정여부를 설명변수로 선정하여 실증분석을 실시하였다. 실증분석 결과는 대전테크노파크 지원이 기업의 특허에 긍정적으로 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 지역산업육성정책이 지역 기업의 기술혁신을 촉진시키고 있기 때문에 지역산업육성정책을 더 적극적으로 추진할 필요성에 대한 정책적 시사점을 제공하고 있다.

This study aims to identify the factors that contribute to the regional innovative capacity and to analyze the effects on the regional economic development including newly-established corporation and job creation. The results are as follows. First, as a result of factor analysis, the 14 variables were grouped into 3 factors, i.e. innovative input, infrastructure, and linkage. Second, the panel models were developed using the above factor scores and economic performance variables such as the number of newly-established corporation and employees. As a result, innovative capacity factors positively contributed to the newlyestablished corporation and job creation. The innovative input was the most influential factor determining the regional economic performance, followed by linkage and infrastructure. This study suggests several policy implications for the reinforcement of innovative capacity and regional competitiveness.

Innovation is not only one of the factors determining the competitiveness of national regions, but also an engine for economic development, and plays an important role in breaking out of the trap of middle-income countries. This paper constructs a regional innovation index from the perspectives of innovation input, innovation output, and innovation environment, and measures the regional innovation index of 31 provinces, municipalities, and autonomous regions in China from 2006 to 2019 by using principal component analysis and cluster analysis. The results concluded that there are large provincial and municipal differences in China's regional innovation capacities, and the provinces with higher comprehensive levels are mainly concentrated in the southeastern coastal region. Cluster analysis divides the 31 provinces, municipalities, and autonomous regions into five types, and the results find that the respectively developed coastal regions are in the high-level and the high-level regions relying on the advantages of location and national policies.

Jinju City has been often called as the largest agglomeration of the silk industry in Korea. However Jinju's silk industry has experienced a continuous decline in employment and to production outputs after the late 1980s. This paper aims to explore innovation capacities of Jinju's silk industry and evaluate the government policy to promote the competitiveness of the silk industry in Jinju. The main findings are as follows. First, the survey shows that the major sources of innovation tend to come from customer firms in the Capital area and the innovation supporting agency and universities in Jinju City. Second, local silk production firms tend to by and large evaluate that the industrial policy projects to promote the competitiveness of Jinju's silk industry have been successful, particularly in terms of a joint branding project and the marketing support program.

Arguably many studies point out that regional innovation capabilities are accepted as a major source of growth for the sustainable regional economy. Recently, a smart specialisation strategy that should reflect regional characteristics in the policy implementation process of the regional innovation system has been proposed, but empirical studies have only presented limited results. This study attempts to overcome limitations by approaching smart specialisation as a supplementary strategy for existing regional innovation research. To this end, smart specialisation was not an alternative strategy for the regional innovation system, but rather the institutional elements of regional innovation capabilities, and the relationship between regional innovation capabilities and the local economy was analyzed to identify the impact of smart specialisation on the local economy. A study was conducted through a panel model consisting of 16 cities and provinces in Korea and 10 years from 2009-2018, and the FGLS model was finally used through the process of searching for an appropriate panel model. As a result of the study, smart specialisation consisting of industry related variety and non-related variety had a positive effect on the local economy. In addition, other regional innovation capabilities measured by dividing them into base and facilitating factors also had a positive effect on the local economy, reaffirming the results of positive research between existing regional innovation and the local economy. This study is meaningful in that smart specialisation lacking in domestic research was viewed as an institutional element of regional innovation capabilities, and it was measured through regional industry-related variety and non-related variety.
