The relationship study between SMEs' R&D and business performance is important research subject. The objective of this paper is to evaluate whether the effectiveness of government's R&D subsidy for SMEs is supported. The positive perspective is that the support policy stimulates the SMEs innovation activities including R&D and thus contributes to the performance, but the negative view is that the support policy rather decreases the firm's own R&D investment and thus the result is not necessarily promising. This paper is to evaluate the effectiveness of government subsidy on SMEs' R&D. This study suggested DID and Random Effect Models for analysis using the panel data of 2,807 SMEs in manufacturing sector. The data was collected from the 'Survey on SMEs Technology & R&D 2011' conducted by Korea Federation of Small and Medium Business. The results are as follows. First, government's subsidy has crowded out 4.7% of beneficiary's internal R&D investment. Second, government's subsidy has increased 27.3% of beneficiary's R&D intensity in spite of 4.7% internal R&D investment reduction. Third, government's subsidy didn't have a relationship with firm performance but the R&D intensity made positive influence on the firm performance. Finally, R&D intensity has increased the 6.7% of firm performance. These results mean that government's subsidy give a positive impact on SMEs' performance through R&D intensity with relatively small crowding-out effect.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the factors affecting cooperation between industry and public research institutes, in addition to the effects of cooperation between them; on technological and economic performance of firms. Based on existing research relating to the factors affecting industry-university-research institutes cooperation and the relationship between them and firm performance, this study selected the competence of government-funded research institutes, R&D capabilities and organizational characteristics of firms, and support of government and local governments; as factors influencing cooperation between industry and public research institutes. This study sets seven hypotheses on the relationship between the factors promoting industry-public research institute cooperation, technological performance and economic performance. A questionnaire survey was used to collect data for hypothesis testing and 116 questionnaires were completed and used in this research. The PLS-MGA was used as a method for hypothesis testing. In the analysis results, we found that the competence of government-funded research institutes, organizational characteristics of firms, and the support of government and local governments have a positive impact on cooperation between industry and public research institutes. We also found that the collaboration between industry and public research institutes, positively affects firms' technological performance. In addition, we found that the technological performance of a firm, positively affects a firms' economic performance. On the other hand, firms' R&D capabilities have no significant effect on cooperation between industry and public research institutes, and industry-public research institute cooperation does not directly affect the economic performance of firms.

Research records are a type of record with a range of controversies over the core elements of management, such as the definition and scope of research records, and who manages research records, despite the critical need for their management. Research records have been neglected in blind spots because it is difficult to manage them, but if well managed, they are evaluated as records with a highly potential value that can be used infinitely later. In particular, government-funded research institutes, as both research institutes and public institutions, take responsibility for systematic management of these research records. Therefore, as this study noted the necessity of research records appraisal for the systematic management of research records in government-funded research institutes, and conducted interviews with 11 records managers working at government-funded research institutes in Korea, the current status of research records management and appraisal of government-funded research institutes was identified. As a result, improvement measures for research records appraisal was suggested as follows. First of all, in the light of the current public records appraisal system, there is a problem of effectiveness in applying it to the research record appraisal system as it is. Therefore, this study suggested that an appraisal system appropriate for research records was needed, and proposed plans for improving the research records appraisal system in terms of purposes, authority, methods, time point, tools and criteria for appraisal.

Government-funded research institutes in the field of science and technology of Korea have contributed to the growth of the national economy and industrial development since the 1960s. However, those institutes recently have faced with criticism over the R&D performance on investment. Accordingly, we suggest two analytical approaches that estimate the economic benefit of the R&D performance of those institutes, (1) 'bottom-up' approach that aggregates the economic benefits of individual performances, e.g., technology transfer, technology support for small and medium enterprises, and the supply of researcher manpower and (2) 'top-down' one that estimates the contribution of those institutes on the economic growth of the industries that the R&D performance of those institutes is mainly utilized. In addition, by applying two approaches, we computed the economic benefit of the performance of the K institute in the 1996-2014 periods at 12.3 trillion won and 29.5 trillion won, respectively. Lastly, we suggest the feasibility of two approaches from the perspective of complementarity. Our study provides analytical approaches that estimate the economic benefit of the R&D performance from government funded research institutes in Korea. Lastly, our study contributes to the understanding of public on science and technology as well as the enhancement of legitimacy on those institutes among the public.

As a public research institute, government-supported institutes have led the industrial development and the advancement of science and technology in Korea. Robert Levering has annually selected 'Fortune 100 GPTW(Great Place to Work)' by measuring the Trust Index which was originated by himself. The objectives of this study are to attempt newly to analyze the inter-relations among 5 elements of GPTW trust index such as credibility, respect, fairness, camaraderie, and pride perceived by the K institute's 262 employees; to verify that GPTW trust index is valid for the selection of the fortune 100 GPTW. Amart PLS 2.0 and SPSS 18 were utilized for the statistical analysis. The results of this study are as follows. Credibility has positive effect to pride; respect has positive effect to pride and camaraderie; fairness has positive effect to camaraderie; and camaraderie has positive to pride. Pride and camaraderie have positive effect to the perceived GPTW. Recent studies mainly focused on the relations between GPTW trust index as independent, mediating variables or parameters and organizational performances. It is meaningful that this study has firstly tried to analyze the inter-relations among 5 elements of the trust index for the employees of research institute. This study has implication that the in order to enhance the performance the institute has to manage GPTW trust index perceived by the employees.

The purpose of this study is to find out the level of the classification system of the government-funded research institutes and to search the future direction of the classification scheme of these research institutes. As a result of analyzing the classification system and regulations of the 23 government-funded research institutes, it is found that the regulations of the records management of most institutions are basically based on other regulations before Public Records Act. In addition, there are not many institutions in which the record production system that reflects the Public Records Act is introduced, and the production and classification of the records are performed separately, and the classification scheme in which the organization classification and the functional classification are mixed is often used only as a reference tool for setting retention period. To overcome this situation, it is necessary to improve the regulation, classification scheme and system. The revision of the law at the national level and establishment of records management regulations at the institutional level should be made. A special classification scheme for 'research' which is a core function of the research institute should be designed and this classification scheme must be applied from the registration stage of records. The fact that the record management obligation is ignored and the production records are not properly managed is to deny the value of the research field records by themselves. I hope that the records management of government-funded research institutes will be moved in place as soon as possible and practical issues will be communicated to academia and good ideas for better development will be returned to the field of practice.

This paper analyzes the factors affecting the relationship characteristics of firms and public research institutes, in-addition to analyzing the effect of relationship characteristics with the industry-public research institute cooperation. We selected factors influencing relationship characteristics of firms and public research institutes based on the study of existing industry-university-institute cooperation. These factors include the willingness of the industry-public research institute cooperation, firm's R&D capabilities, and the firm's perceived public research institutes competence. The relationship between these factors, their relationship characteristics, and the performance of the industry-public research institute cooperation was studied using six hypotheses. In order to test this research model, we conducted a survey on industry-public research institute cooperation firms and received responses from 116 companies. Partial Least Square-Multi Group Analysis (PLS-MGA) was used to test the research model. The results of the empirical analysis show the following results. First, the willingness of the industry-public research institute cooperation, firm's R&D capabilities and firm's perceived public research institutes competence have a positive impact on the relationship characteristics of firms and public research institutes. Second, the relationship characteristics of firms and public research institutes have a positive impact on firm performance in the industry-public research institute cooperation. Third, firm's R&D capabilities and firm's perceived public research institutes competence directly affect firm performance in the industry-public research institute cooperation. These results provide policy and practical implications for enhancing firm performance of the industry-public research institute cooperation.

Government funded research institutes (GFRIs) maintain a cooperative relationship with companies and stably provide their resources through the family company system. They are thereby implementing a demand-oriented support system that responds to the needs of the company. This study analyzed the changes in corporate financial performance depending on the participation in family company system and customized support. For this purpose, 2,229 companies registered with the KITECH during 2015-2017 composed the "Family company group", and 80 companies that participated in the customized support were selected as the "customized support group". The effect of participation on the corporate financial performance was analyzed using the PSM-DID model. The analysis verified that companies in a cooperative relationship with GFRIs had a higher sales growth rate than others. Furthermore, when these companies received additional customized support, their OI and ROE were significantly improved. The value of this study lies in that it quantitatively analyzed the cooperation performance of partner companies following a sustainable SME-GRI relationship. In addition, it provides insight into the strategic support system for SMEs by confirming the necessity of a customized support based on the relationship.
