Among the fintech businesses that are actively developing around the world, payment and settlement are the most prominent. Korea has a well-developed IT industry and a good existing card payment environment, however, its innovative movement is overwhelmingly slower than that of other countries in the fintech. In this study, we try to assess the regulations on fintech and their impacts on the startup ecosystem by comparing the cases of U.S., China, and Korea. We have found that both the United States and China have lowered barriers to entry for the newly launched fintech industry, allowing startups and IT companies to start fintech businesses at the existing financial sector. Particularly the implementation of predictable regulations in U.S., and the failure to apply the financial regulations in China, help start-up companies' growth in the fintech industry. This finding provides us with a lesson that current positive regulations in Korea should gradually change into negative regulations, and predictable regulations that strictly enforce post-management except major items rather than pre-approval. The policy implications are discussed with the perspective of start-ups in fintech industry.

Since 2016, the VR market has been on the rapid growth. The most critical and arising issue in the VR market is VR contents. That is because it is necessary to develop making techniques and various VR contents to satisfy users' immersion and interaction as much as possible. Therefore, this study focused on VR image contents, conducted domestic and foreign cases of the components of visual and auditory inducement to keep and improve immersion, and thereby tried to find a right direction of visual and auditory inducement. As a result, the visual and auditory components of visual and auditory inducement were found to be photographing, edition, lighting, stitching, graphics, effect, voice actor's narration, dubbing, character voice, background sound, and sound effect; its technical and content components were found to be photographing technique, edition technique, lighting, stitching, graphics and effect, sound and sound effect, and theatric direction based on Mise-en-Scene, lines and narration of characters, and movements of characters and objets. For VR image contents, not only visual and auditory components, but technical and content components are necessary to improve immersion. In the future, it will be necessary to continue to research them.

The purpose of this study is to present a framework of the MyData business ecosystem that shows a different pattern from the previous one by the MyData concept and to define the characteristics of actors participating in the ecosystem. Because MyData is an individual exercising sovereignty over his or her data, there is a characteristic that the individual participates as a key actor in the business. In other words, MyData Operators participate in the MyData business ecosystem to help individuals who own MyData, MyData creating business and MyData using business, among them, manage their own data. Therefore, this study conducts a case study of domestic and foreign MyData businesses to revitalize the domestic MyData industry. In particular, the business model of 45 cases of overseas MyData operators was analyzed and classified into 7 types of 4 groups. And through this, the importance of the role of MyData Operator in the MyData industry ecosystem is confirmed and a developmental ecosystem model is proposed.

By examining the experiences of three social economy organizations who participated in the social problem-solving R&D projects, we discuss the conditions which may encourage the participation of civil society in national R&D programs in South Korea. By calling for the inclusion of social economy organizations along with the living-lab, the social problem-solving R&D projects introduced a new type of civic participation in the national R&D programs. It is the requirement in the RFP of the social problem-solving R&D which led PIs to inviting social economy organizations into their projects. But the invites occurred rather abruptly and accidently without adequate mutual understanding between scientific experts and social economy organizations. While helping social economy organizations participate in R&D processes, this form of institutional arrangement also led them into a position in subordination to scientific experts. Social economy organizations were supposed to coordinate the living lab in the social problem-solving R&D projects which they felt familiar as an extension of what they have been doing. In contrast, they felt administrative work such as accounts following complicate administrative rules as the most unfamiliar challenge. The difference in their emphases between scientific experts and social economy organizations was also evident. Social economy organizations viewed that, while they and ordinary people are primarily interested in a practical use of the developed products or services, scientific experts tend to focus on research and development. Not only did such difference produce a friction in the R&D processes but also it had social economy organizations view the R&D projects they participated in as unsuccessful. Nevertheless, all these experiences provided a great opportunity for the social economy organizations for learning and growing as a new actor in the national R&D.
