Entrepreneurial financing, such as publicly initiated venture capital or grant schemes, serves as an important policy instrument that aims to bridge the financing gap facing young, innovative businesses, a gap that is mainly due to higher risk and growing uncertainty, and to strategically promote the creation of new ventures through the revitalization of their venture capital industries. This study examines public venture capital initiatives in Australia, Canada, and Sweden, and discovered that all three countries actively foster their venture capital industry through the formation of funds or the provision of tax incentives. It is notable that the majority of financing initiatives heavily depend on supply-side measures rather than demand-driven policies that focus on stimulating private investment in technological innovations and discoveries. This paper discusses in-depth the policy impact of public financing initiatives and their subsequent side-effects raised in the process such as overlapping in funding structure across the country, lack of monitoring and evaluation for feedback, fragmentation across the government ministries and agencies, and competition with the private sector, which may cause inefficiency as a result of public intervention. Financial constraints may arise for many reasons, partly resulting from the lack of investment readiness of young entrepreneurs. This signals a policy shift towards the creation of market-driven demand away from the traditional supply-push approach, and is a grand challenge to policymakers in entrepreneurial financing. Attention is leaning towards the efficiency and effectiveness of these public-financing initiatives in terms of their policy roles. It is worth noting that policy should focus on generating synergy so available resources can be channeled into the early, risky stage of new ventures, working as facilitator to the achievement of an intended policy goal.

Recently, nanotechnology has grown as one of the leading science technology along with other converging technologies such as biology, information, medicine etc., bringing the continuous investment of the government in nano-related field. However, it is difficult to measure and evaluate the performance of the national research and development programs because of the multidimensional character of the expected outcomes. This study aims to measuring efficiency of the national nanotechnology research and development programs using DEA model. The decision making units are nine nano-related ministries including the Ministry of Science, ICT and Future Planning. The input variables are total expenditure, number of the programs and average expenditure per program. The output variables are science, technology and economic indicator, and the combination of these outputs are respectively measured as seven different DEA cases. The Ministry of Science, ICT and Future was the first efficient ministry in total technical efficiency. Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs and the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety were efficient in pure technical efficiency, when the Ministry of Commerce Industry and Energy took the first in the scale efficiency. The program efficiency was affected by organizational characteristics such as the institution's scale, the concentration of the research paper or the patent, technology transfer or the commercialization. The result of this study could be utilized in development of the policy in the nanotechnology and the related field. Furthermore, it could be applied for the modification of expenditure management or the adjustment of the research and development programs' input and output scale for each ministry.

The incidence of asbestos-related diseases (ARD) has increased in the last four decades. In view of the historical use of asbestos in Singapore since the country started banning it in phases in 1989 and the long latency of the disease, the incidence of ARD can be expected to increase further. As occupational exposure to asbestos still occurs, preventive measures to eliminate ARD continue to be required to protect the health of both workers and the public from asbestos exposure. The majority of occupational exposures to asbestos at present occur during the removal of old buildings. Preventive measures have been utilized by different government ministries and agencies in eliminating ARD in Singapore over the past 40 years. These measures have included the enforcement of legislation, substitution with safer materials, and engineering controls during asbestos removal as well as improvements in personal hygiene and the use of personal protective equipment. The existing Workman's Compensation System for ARD should be further refined, given that is currently stipulates that claims for asbestosis and malignant mesothelioma be made within 36 and 12 months after ceasing employment.

Biotechnology is certainly one of the major landmarks in the 20th century history of science. It may produce enormous utility to human beings, but at the same time, it carries huge potential risks to the environment and public health. Thus, with a view to securing safety for the environment and public health in relation to the development and use of living modified organisms (LMOs), the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety was adopted, in which a regulation Procedure as to the transboundary movements, transportation, handling, and use of LMOs were drawn up. In order to prepare for the entry into force of the Protocol, the Republic of Korea legislated the "Act on the Transboundary Movements of living modified organisms(hereinafter referred as the 'Act')" in Mar 2001, and has pre-announced the enactments of the enforcement ordinance and the enforcement regulation to the Act. Pursuant to the Act, the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Energy, as a Competent National Authority, is making efforts to implement domestic biosafety schemes in cooperation with other bio-related government ministries. In order for these efforts to reap fruits, industry, academia, and research institutions should cooperate with one another, and civic groups and NGOs should narrow the differences in opinions and timely respond to the fast-changing situations. Focusing on the precautionary principle, the Protocol puts a great emphasis on the importance of information sharing amongst countries, and the Act also follows this principle. In order to gurantee biosafety, countries around the world, including the ROK, agreed to establish National Biosafety Clearing, designed to provide the information on the export/import of LMOs, R'||'&'||'Ds, risk assessment, safety control, etc. and register it on the CBD Central Biosafety Clearing House.e.

Objective: The aim of this study is to identify the domestic and foreign laboratory safety management system and to suggest domestic laboratory safety management policy priority. Background: Various types of accidents are occurred in research laboratories according to a variety of laboratory safety risks. However, there are only lists of incidents without any precise accident analysis. Method: We analyzed statistically the survey on current status of laboratory safety management of universities, research institutes, and industrial research institutions carried out by Ministry of Science, ICT and Future Planning in Korea. We also investigated laboratory safety management systems and safety organization carried out mainly in overseas countries such as USA, Japan, Switzerland and France. In addition, we analyze the UCLA College laboratory explosion occurred in the US in 2010. Results: More than 75 percent of 2015 domestic laboratory accidents were occurred in the field of operation management and chemistry research. Also, approximately 55% of accidents took place due to careless use mechanical instruments & dangerous chemicals. In addition, common difficulties of lab safety act applicable organizations are overlapping and comprehensive application of legal requirements. Conclusion: There is a need for laboratory safety professional organizations. Also, the high frequency of use of hazardous substances in the high-risk, such as the chemical field must be strengthened the laboratory safety management. In addition, it is needed to minimize the problems of the research organizations through close cooperation between related ministries and government support policy such as professional development program. Application: The result of this analysis might help to present a differentiated safety management policy and advanced safety management system in laboratory.

The relevant ministries, including the Ministry of Environment in Korea, provided Post-2020 Long-term Mitigation Target and Implementation Plan. The plan consisted of four Business As Usual (BAU) reduction levels by 14.7%, 19.2%, 25.7%, and 31.3% until 2030. The Korean government finalized the mitigation target of 37%. But all the initial alternatives were below the goal, 30% from BAU, that has been promised to the international community as well as set out in the Framework Act on Low Carbon Green Growth. In order to achieve a specific goal, performance management should pursue "Justify doing the right things." Otherwise, performance management would not work properly. According to Kingdon's Policy Stream Framework, abnormal alternatives are difficult to be presented as scenarios because alternative building should focus on the role of the need to adhere to the basic principles and professionals. Such a result is possible only when the policy actors does not balance themselves. Performance management statistics has been analyzed by 6 years CCPI data since 2011, taking into account the impact after enactment. This study also has been complemented by a variety of sources, including the media, documents, and artifacts during the period. As a result, raising awareness about climate change was analyzed as one of the solutions because the climate change issue affects the normal performance management throughout the life of the people to stay linked to the environment.

오늘날 BRICs 국가들이 효과적인 정부의 개입과 세계시장의 활용을 통하여 급속한 성장을 이루었음에도 불구하고 동일한 정책을 선택한 수많은 제 3세계 국가들이 여전히 저성장의 늪에 빠져 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 특정한 정책의 선택을 경제성장의 결정요인으로 보기 보다는 정책의 이행역량을 중심으로 살펴보아야 한다는 관점 하에서 근년 들어 자유주의적 경제정책에서 적극적 정부개입으로 정책을 선회한 에콰도르에 대한 사례연구를 실시하였다. 에콰도르는 꼬레아 정부의 등장 이래 정부의 적극적 개입을 통한 산업화를 추구하고 있다. 본 연구는 이러한 정책적 선택이 경제성장을 가져올 수 있는지 여부 그 자체 보다는 에콰도르가 종합적으로 이를 성공적으로 수행할 수 있는 역량을 보유하고 있는지 분석을 목적으로 한다. 즉, 에콰도르 경제개발정책의 질적수준과 그 이행능력을 평가함으로써 개도국 성장역량의 결정요인을 미시적 수준(정책의 합리성, 일관성, 실현가능성, 행정부 역량, 정책의 집행구조 등)에서 살펴보고 있다. 본 연구에서는 에콰도르의 산업 및 무역정책이 충분한 현실 정합성을 확보하지 못하고 있으며 전략산업의 선정도 지나친 경직성으로 인하여 환경변화에 따른 융통성을 결여하고 있는 것으로 평가되었다. 또한 에콰도르의 정책수단들이 매우 일반적인 인센티브 제도와 기술적 지원에 그치고 있으며 산업의 구축에 필요한 자원의 투입과 관련한 구체적 방안을 결여하고 있는 것으로 평가되었다.

이 논문은 올림픽 전산시스템 개발과정을 추적하면서 공식 역사서술 이면의 다이나믹스를 보이는 것을 기본 목적으로 한다. 서울올림픽 개최가 결정된 직후 정부는 앞선 올림픽에서 사용된 전산시스템을 도입하겠다고 구상했다. 이에 KAIST 전산개발센터 과학기술자들은 독자적 개발의 당위성을 설득하는 데 큰 노력을 기울였으며, 전국체전에서 무사히 작동되는 전산시스템을 개발함으로써 충분한 개발 능력을 갖추었음을 증명해야 했다. 올림픽 전산시스템 개발을 구체화하면서 주관부처, 참여 기관, 연구자 사이에 다양한 논쟁이 발생했고, 결과적으로 최종 산물은 단일한 하나의 시스템이 아니라 여러 기관이 개발한 각기 다른 네 개의 시스템이 결합한 모듈형으로 귀착되었다. 이 때문에 "장외금메달"이라는 호평을 받았지만, 어느 기관도 올림픽 전산시스템의 기술성과를 직접적으로 계승하거나 소유권을 주장하거나 못했다. 그럼에도 불구하고 개발 과정에서 축적된 기술, 하드웨어, 인력은 이후 여러 영역으로 확산하여 한국 정보통신기술 발전의 밑거름이 되었다.
