According to the evolution of knowledge based economy, the expansion of significance of high-tech and technical innovation, in recent, many of local government of Korea have concern on the establishment and promotion of new growth power such as technopolis, science park, and innovative clusters for regional development. This study focuses on the establishment strategy for R&D special district in Gwangju area. Gwangju area have many potentials in several dimensions; comfortable physical environment, new agglomeration of photonics and household electric industry, the existence of excellent research related manpower, the strong networking with universities, laboratories, and firms. In addition, the establishment of R&D special district in Gwangju area will be provide positive effects in the increase of competitiveness of state, balanced development between regions, revitalization and development of southwestern area, and establishment of innovative clusters for regional development. However, in order to promote and establish the R&D special district of Gwangju area, central and local governments have to concern with some improvements such as the construction of R&D related infrastructure, the strengthening of research activities of research institutes, the building of cluster of strategic industries of Gwangju area, the supporting system for the revitalization of R&D special district.

대덕 바이오클러스터의 네트워크를 파악하기 위하여 한국특허정보원의 KIPRIS 서비스를 이용하여 한국특허정보를 분석하였다. 공동출원 한 특허에 대하여 샐튼지수(Shalton index)를 구하여 연구개발 주체 간의 연관성과 기술 간의 연관관계에 의하여 R&D network model을 제시하였다. 본 모델에 의하면 벤처기업 간 공동연구가 가장 활발하였고 벤처기업들은 대학보다는 연구기관을 선호하였다. 과학 기술지식의 산업으로의 확산을 위해서는 대학이나 출연연구소의 네트워크가 더욱 활성화되어야 한다. 일부 벤처기업이 대덕특구의 연구기관과 공동연구가 활발하였지만 특구내의 연구추체보다는 타 지역의 기업, 벤처기업, 대학과의 공동연구가 많이 이루어지고 있었다. 샐튼지수에 의하여 기술 간 연관성 분석 한 결과는 생물자원탐색 기술, 세포배양, 유전공학과 같은 기초분야를 모체로 네트워크가 형성되고 있다. 생물의약분야는 기술우위가 약하므로 이의 경쟁력 확보를 위한 네트워크가 절실히 요구되고있다. 과학기술문헌이나 특허자료를 이용한 계량서지학적 분석방법은 R&D 네트워크 구축을 위한 전략 수립에 있어 효과적인 방법으로 이용될 수 있다.

The purpose of this study is to estimate the macro-economic ripple effect of tax exemption for both high end technology firms and research enterprises in R&D special cluster. We apply the user cost of capital model and the Input-output model to the estimation. Estimation results for 2007-2016 are as follows: the increase in both the production and the value-added is 2,807 and 1,392 hundred million Korean won, respectively. Also, employers are increased by 2,355 people. These imply that keeping the tax exemption item for certain enterprises in R&D special cluster may be beneficial to our economy.

This study aims at investigating the effects of Government R&D subsidies. We analyse the effects of inputs and behavioral additionality on the output additionality. We also measure the moderate effects of the experiences of benefiting from government R&D on the relationship between inputs and behavioral additionality and the output additionality. We conducted a structured questionnaire on the companies who have participated in promotion program of the Korea Innovation Cluster. 126 responses were collected and alnalysed using the OLS technique. Empirical results show that the relationship between input/behavioral additionality (management, follow-up, cognitive capacity) and output additionality had positive effect. The moderating effects of experiences of R&D subsidy on the relationship between input additionality and output additionality and the relationship between cognitive additionality and the output additionality appear to be statistically significant.

To attract more FDI inflows, the Korean government has designated several special economic zones (SEZs), offering various advantages and support to the FDI. There is, however, a shared acknowledgement that those efforts have gained little reward. In this regard, this paper empirically analyzes company-level performances of labor productivity, operating profit ratio, propensity to invest and innovate, etc. and then conducts regression analysis and PSM analysis to see whether these performances are meaningfully different between foreign-invested firm and domestic firm and between foreign-invested firms. The main findings of this paper are as follows. First, in the aspects of labor productivity and operating profit ratio, no empirical evidence was found to support the hypothesis that foreign-invested firm outperforms domestic firm in efficiency and profitability, Second, in the aspects of propensity to invest, foreign-invested firms in foreign investment zones outperformed domestic firms. Third, in the aspect of R&D investment, overall, foreign-invested firms showed a stronger propensity to invest than domestic firms, but there is no empirical evidence that high propensity to invest was driven by the policy on special economic zones. In the aspect of investment in educational training, empirical evidences were found that the role of foreign-invested firms outside the special zones turned out to be the strongest and that among firms inside special zones, it was those in the free economic zone that outperformed domestic firms. Lastly, foreign-invested firms showed a stronger propensity to employ than domestic firms, but there is no empirical evidence that high propensity to employ was driven by the policy on special economic zones.

This study aims to analyze research-based spin-off companies, which are established in Innopolis to promote the commercialization of R&D outputs of public institutions. We analyzed 175 technology-based start-ups, which were founded before 2016, to examine how the companies' capabilities affect the sales growth rate. The results show that technological capability and entrepreneurial capability have positive relations with sales growth, while network capability and finance capability do not have significant associations. In addition, R&D intensity (R&D expenditure per employee) has moderating effects on the association between firm capabilities and sales growth rate since it strengthens the effect of technological capability and entrepreneurial capability but weakens the influence of network capability. This study contributes to widening the understanding of the importance of capabilities of research-based spin-off companies and their performance, and differs from most previous literature since it uses objective and quantitative data. It further suggests policy implications that the enhancement of technological and entrepreneurial capability are important for the stable growth of technology-based startups in the early stage.

북한의 과학기술중시 정책의 내용은 크게 기술 개선 사업 및 정보화로 나누어지며, 우리가 보통 얘기하는 과학기술개발 사업(혹은 R&D 개발사업)은 이들이 말하는 기술개선 사업으로 일반적으로 과학기술적인 재건이라고 칭한다. 즉 공장의 설비 교체 및 자동화, 현대화를 통해 생산의 정상화를 도모하는 것을 의미하는 것으로 우리가 알고 있는 용어의 개념과는 다소 상이하다고 할 수 있다. 즉 요즈음 이슈가 되고 있는 신의주 특구 개발은 북한에서 사용하는 개념으로는 '과학기술적 재건'인 셈이다.

The focus of this paper falls on assessing how well rule of crafting government R&D institution spin-off companies(GRSCs), legitimatized to boost up technology commercialization of government research institutions(GRIs) at Daedeok Innopolis in 2006, affect the better business performance of GRSCs, but also delivering alternatives of driving up their better business. First of all, this paper evaluate a management performance of GRSCs at the financial aspect by taking 5 different GRSCs cases among 16 to measure the overall performance of GRSCS's Technology commercialization. Second, this paper assess the effectiveness of GRSCs to bring the better performance of technology commercialization. Third, this paper suggest soft program-centered technology commercialization model, rather institution and ceremonial-oriented one, for GRIs. Overall, the outcomes of this paper will contribute to accommodate the rule of GRSCs attaining goals set in the initial policy domain.
