In order to successfully adopt and implement the Balanced Scorecard(BSC), firms need to respond adequately to the rapid changes of today's business environment and consider the growing importance of non financial factors in the business activities such as intangible assets(R&D expenditure, patent, goodwill, etc.). Our primary focus throughout this paper is on developing Key Performance Index(KPI) of BSC for R&D expenditure activities. In this study, we have developed and named PEI(Patent Efficiency Index),which is the KPI for R&D expenditure by focusing on the efficiency of a patent that is the output from the R&D expenditures. Secondarily, we have attempted to address the solution for the current problems of the traditional R&D performance measurement by using our developed PEI and examine the usefulness and effectiveness of the newly developed our PEI. According to the empirical test results, we find that the PEI is positively associated with ROA and Tobin's Q, respectively and show that our developed PEI is more effective and accurate than the traditional R&D performance measurement as a business performance measurement. Furthermore, these findings proves that we can measure and evaluate how efficiently the firms perform the R&D activities and shows that the PEI can be a critical index for evaluating firm's business performance related to the R&D expenditures.

Many researchers are trying to acquire intellectual properties on the promising technologies for prior occupation in their area. For this, the number of patents as a result of researches is increasing. In spite of the tendency in research of oriental medicine, the results have been focused on research papers. In this paper, we have reported patents around the Korea Institute of Oriental Medicine(KIOM) to find trends in patents in the field of oriental medicine. There are 211 Korea patents and 8 USA patents. Most of these patents are fouced on "medical" and "diagnosis" areas.

This study is designed to analyze the status of R&D investment and managerial performance related to the domestic manufacturing. To accomplish the purpose of the study, We have regression analyzed 6,054 companies based on the data of 'Business Activity Survey' disclosed by Statistics Korea. Result of the study are as follows. First, electronics, IT, and auto industry account for 25.6% of the country's manufacturing companies and take up 75.8% of the total R&D funding for the manufacturing industry. Second, R&D funding exercises positive influence on sales and the number of registered patents, which last exerts positive influence on sales.

Confronted with increasing global competition and rising research and development risks, the global open innovation has receiving increased attention. This study empirically investigates whether or not international cooperative R&D is effective by evaluating the quality indicators with the patents with international co-applications. The number of patents with international co-applications has dramatically increased in recent years. According to the results, the outcome from international cooperative R&D is prominent in term of all the evaluation criteria such as the number of citation, patent families, claims, and et cetera, compared with that from domestic cooperative R&D. Based on the patent quality, the information technology sector holds the top spot and high-tech sectors such as bio and automobile industries show the better quality performances. By identifying high betweeneess centrality in the network analysis of international cooperative R&D, the US is indicated as the most central country in such cooperative activity, and then Germany, the UK, Canada, and France come after.

We tried to find out the technological innovation properties of the National Research and Development Projects (NRDPs) through scientometric analysis of patent data generated by the NRDPs. The distribution of technology groups in patent data shows that NRDPs are highly focused on the Information Technology(IT) group. The Relative Cites Index(RCI) analysis implies that the Biotechnology(BT) group will emerge in the future. The Relative Family Indices(RFIs) are high among the high technological impact groups such as BT and IT. We defined new measures related with technological convergence and collaborativenessopenness relations among R&D agents. Using network analysis techniques, we analysed the absorption-derivation relations among technology groups and the opennesscollaborativeness relations among R&D agents. Recently, both the share of hetero-plural technology groups and the collaboration among different R&D agents are increasing.

Patents that are research results from industry-university cooperation (IUC) are a source of innovation, and play an important role in economic growth, such as technology transfer and commercialization. For this reason, there are many efforts to revitalize IUC, but in general, company patents are achievements that can be commercialized, rather than research achievements, so not all patents are used for business, even after their creation as the outcome of IUC. Therefore, this research supports the design of measures in which IUC can ultimately be linked to successful utilization of patents by identifying the purposes of IUC, even after it has been successfully promoted, and patents have been filed as a result. To this end, first, the patents registered for industry-academia cooperation in the United States are collected, and second, a predictive model is designed, with unexpired and expired patents predicted using machine learning techniques. The final identified patents are intended to derive available factors in terms of marketability and technicality. This study is expected to help predict the utilization of unexpired and expired patents, and is expected to contribute to setting goals for research results from technical cooperation between corporate and university officials planning early IUC.

This paper analyses the effects of innovation and openness on productivity in Korean firms using company innovation index which issued by STEPI in 2012. The data contains 296 companies which are registered in Korean stock market. I observed that the effect of past R&D investments on innovation is significant than current R&D investment. The regression results show that company innovation index has significantly positive effects on the firm's revenue. The firm size and the openness also have an important effect on the firm's revenue.
