This study aims at investigating the effectiveness of SME's R&D system empirically. Specifically, this study analyze the relationships among R&D inputs(R&D investment, R&D human resource management), process(R&D planning, external network, internal cooperation), and output(technological innovation). A questionnaire was developed to measure the above variables. To test these relations, data were collected from the small and medium-sized IT firms located in Daegu-Kyungbuk region. The survey data of 154 firms were integrated as the empirical base for testing the relations. Most respondents were from the managers. Structural equation modeling analyses were used to examine the relations. Major results are as follows: Firstly, R&D HRM was positively and significantly influenced on the R&D planning. Secondly, R&D planning was positively and significantly affected on the external network, internal cooperation, and technological innovation. Thirdly, the both relations between R&D investment and R&D planning, and external network and technological innovation were not significant statistically. These results suggest the following implications. First, R&D human resource management is very important for IT SMEs. Secondly, internal cooperation mediates R&D inputs and technological innovation by approaching the other department's unique resources and by sharing the cost of new resource development. Several future researches need to overcome the limitations of this research. First, this study's sample was based on the small and medium-sized IT firms just located in Daegu-Kyungbuk region. This limitation may imply that empirical results can not represent overall small and medium-sized firm's situations. Therefore, future research needs to include different samples. Secondly, this study depends on the latitudinal study.

This study empirically analyzes the relationship between market structure and R&D activities. Especially, the outcome of R&D activities could be imitated or plagiarized by nearby competitors before it is protected legally through patenting, it would work as a club good and its market structure need to be defined at the geographic level of city, county or ward rather than the whole nation. According to the regression results of this study using Survey on Technology Statistics of Small- and Medium-Sized Firms, individual firms' R&D investment is more active when market structure of area(city, county, or ward)-industry(two-digit industry) is monopolistic or oligopolistic rather than competitive. However, as the variable representing market structure is redefined over a geographic scope of 16 metropolitan areas or provinces, 6 regions, or the whole nation, the relationship between market structure and R&D activities seems to become weak. Moreover, when the R&D expenditure is divided by its source, more active R&D spending in a less competitive market is observed as long as it is procured by internal fund of the firm in question.

This paper aims to provide a context-specific interpretation on the shifting process of in-house R&D spaces in a large Korean firm in the context of rapidly changing markets and technology. Drawing on the case study of LG Electronics Company, one of the Korea's flagship companies, I examine the causes and mechanisms leading to a shift in domestic R&D spaces and the nature of learning processes between R&D teams and between R&D and other organizational units, particularly manufacturing. It appears that the current reshaping processes of domestic R&D spaces in LGE focus more on the clustering of core R&D laboratories than the geographical integration of conception and execution. However, it should not simply be viewed that such a move would be reduced to the linear model of innovation and organizational learning. Instead, it involves the firm-specific mode of regulating organizational competences. As contextual variables to induce such a firm-specific mode of organizational change, I consider the spatial form of organization, the spatial sources of knowledge and learning, and the powers of relational learning that can be made between distanciated actors and teams.

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.

Most of the GRI's that are organized and operate a regional. However, the limitations of the building that faces its own innovation system of the area, difficulties in management of the individual institution and community organizations operating in various industries such as inadequate to meet demand. This study examined the quality attributes of the GRI's regional organization's operations and policy improvements on the GRI's key features and regional organizations in the region to suggest future operating efficiency in the consumer's point of view based on the Kano Model and Timko Model. The results showed the different properties depending on the quality of corporate premises, and whether or not its own R&D organization. These results could be used as a basis for future policy design in accordance with GRI's regional organization establishment, operation and evaluation.

This purpose of this study was to investigate the nutrient intake, the health status as determined self-assessment checklist, biochemical indicators of elderly Korean women. We interviewed and 55 female subjects living alone in the Urban aged over 65 years. Information on their dietary intake was collected by 24-hour Recall method. Their health status was determined by a NSI checklist. Biochemical indicators were performed in whole blood and plasma of subjects. Except for protein, Fe, all of the elderly subjects belonged to over moderate nutritional risk. The average daily nutrient intake of the elderly was below the level of the recommended dietary allowances (RDA) for Koreans. A relationship between their health risk score and nutrient intake was observed negatively (not significantly). They had a risk of anemia as hemoglobin and hematocrit of subjects were under the normal value. Therefore, the reason that health risk score and health status badly was thought for lower nutrient intake.

기술간 산업간 융합 현상은 R&D 범위의 복잡성을 가중시켰고, 국가나 지역 단위의 시장이 아닌 지구 단위의 시장경쟁을 첨예화시킴으로써 과거의 폐쇄적 R&D 시스템의 한계를 여실하게 드러내는 계기가 되었다. 즉, 시장 규모의 글로벌화, 제품개발 주기의 단축, 지식체화 인력의 유동성 증가를 극복하기 위해서는 기존의 폐쇄형 R&D 방법이 아닌, 다양한 지식자원을 활용함과 동시에 R&D 활동 전후방에 위치한 모든 주체들이 참여하는 개방화된 R&D 방법을 도입할 때 비로소 새로운 가치를 창출할 수 있게 될 것이다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 R&D 변화의 추세, 개방형 R&D의 개념 및 필요성을 살펴본 후 '융합기술 R&D를 위한 개방형 혁신 시스템 도입 방향'을 제언하고자 한다.
