The purpose of this study is to suggest an efficient way for ventures to achieve innovation performance through R&D cooperative arrangements. Achieving innovation is one of the critical factors for the survival of ventures. Unlike established firms, ventures often do not have the specialized assets necessary to take technological developments to the product and market stages. Young and resource-constrained firms can achieve innovation by finding and accessing to the complementary resources from R&D cooperation. In the current business environment, many firms are likely to engage in multiple simultaneous R&D cooperations with different partners. Recent research stream addresses the importance of efficient cooperation management from the holistic portfolio perspective. Since maintaining the multiple cooperative relations require substantial amount of time and effort, managing cooperative relationships play a more important role to resource-constrained firms. In order to find an efficient composition of R&D cooperative partners, we mainly focus on the diversity of partner type and dependence level in partnership. We analyze the data on Korean manufacturing ventures collected in the Korean Innovation Survey (KIS) which was conducted by the Science and Technology Policy Institute (STEPI). The KIS questionnaire assesses the existence of cooperative relationships with different types of partners respectively. The types of cooperating partners are affiliated companies, suppliers, clients & customers, competitors or other firms in the same industry, consulting firms, universities, and research institutes. We confirm that ventures obtain relatively higher benefits from R&D cooperation compared with established firms in terms of innovation performance. The results show that a moderate level of diversity in cooperative partner type composition increases innovation. Moreover, diversity of cooperation dependency among the partners enhances innovation performance. Likewise, concentrating on the quality aspects of cooperative composition, such as diversity of partners and degree of dependencies, this study offers some implications for ventures in managing partners from an integrative perspective.

Technology innovation companies are focusing on contributing to business performance by R&D project as a strategic tool. Successful R&D leads to corporate competitiveness enhancement, national industrial development, but there are high uncertainty and risks in R&D. Public and private R&D projects are carried out to achieve various purposes. It was verified how the risk management and benefit management of the R&D project affect the detailed R&D project performance between the Public and private domain. The impact of Project Leadership on R&D performance was also analyzed. Those who have participated in the Public and Private R&D projects at companies or research institutes were surveyed. First, it was found that project risk and benefit management have partially an effect on R&D project performance. Second, Public and private R&D Project Leadership showed partially a interaction effect between project management and project performance.

Defense R&D is an essential investment for the national security. Recently our nation has also begun to initiate a number of defense R&D projects. As a lot of fund and resources are allocated to these projects, we need to identify which projects to initiate and then how to manage these projects well. Though there have been a number of studies on R&D projects in commercial sector, there are only a few studies in defense R&D sector. Moreover, these existing defense R&D studies mainly deal with the former issues, which are occurring at the stage of project planing. We are more concerned with project management issues, such as how to manage projects that had already been evaluated to undertake at the planning stage. Specifically our study aims to identify project management factors leading to the success of defense R&D projects. Results of the empirical analysis indicate that management support, user-driven requirements management, and project planning capability are key elements for project performance.

This study examines a normative model of project management systems, PPMS, to provide information for directing R&D activity in order to increase R&D productivity. The PPMS (Project Process Management System) is a disciplined and systematic framework to manage R&D projects effectively and efficiently under the assumption of a strategic decision making and long-range planning. The purpose of PPMS is to provide for the management of research organization at different levels an effective management tool; first, for the planning system which deals with rational selection and authorization of R&D projects, second, for the control system which concerns monitoring and controlling the execution of R&D projects, and finally, for the evaluation system which attains evaluation of the performance results of R&D projects and determination of the necessary follow-up. A view for the future development of project management within the context of a project-performing organization is also elaborated to exhibit the progress and phase description of the project management system.

The two groups of research and management staff working in the government-supported research institutes are shown different in their cognitive styles on R&D management. Identifying the differences and understanding the reasons why such differences exist are th prerequisites for working out an effective R&D management. The investigation was made with emphasis on the cognitive styles regarding the core elements of R&D managements such as R&D process, manpower, budget and information required for R&D activities. The cognitive styles on R&D management shown distinct between the two groups suggest in turn that narrowing down the diference could provide the way to more effective R&D management.

In this paper, we introduce a big data platform and a metadata management technique for fishery science R & D information. The big data platform collects and integrates various types of fisheries science R & D information and suggests how to build it in the form of a data lake. In addition to existing data collected and accumulated in the field of fisheries science, we also propose to build a big data platform that supports diverse analysis by collecting unstructured big data such as satellite image data, research reports, and research data. Next, by collecting and managing metadata during data extraction, preprocessing and storage, systematic management of fisheries science big data is possible. By establishing metadata in a standard form along with the construction of a big data platform, it is meaningful to suggest a systematic and continuous big data management method throughout the data lifecycle such as data collection, storage, utilization and distribution.

For the past few years, the Korean government has been consistently expanding its national research & development budget to accelerate economic growth through technology innovation and the enhancement of international competitiveness in global markets. The objective of this paper is to define the concept and analyze the current status of national R&D programs by measuring R&D efficiencies. We determine R&D efficiency by reflecting inputs and outcomes of the five main agricultural R&D programs between 2010 to 2015, and by categorizing and regrouping figures that may affect R&D performance. Among 1,128 targeted projects, 832 projects with patents and thesis were selected for analysis in terms of measuring technology efficiency, pure technology efficiency, and efficiency of scale. Also, the Kruskal-Wallis test was also utilized as well. As a result of empirical analysis, figures that affected the efficiency level of national R&D programs included differences in research resources, research management levels and skills, and research field. This study can be utilized as a reference for re-establishing national agricultural R&D policies, such as enhancement of national technology competitiveness in the global market environment, improving and adapting to new agricultural conditions, market expansion, national agricultural R&D efficiency, aging rural population, agricultural management cost increase, and climate change mitigation.

The construction industry has been recognized as lagging behind other industries in the area of research and development (R&D) due primarily to the lack of R&D funds. To overcome this situation, the Korea Ministry of Construction and Transportation has a plan to expand its investments on the construction R&D up to 1.72 billion US dollars over the next 3 years. Despite this effort, it is still challenging to conduct the quantitative measurement on the efficiency of construction R&D projects, which can be utilized as the objective basis in the reasonable selection of a promising R&D team or in the consequential evaluation of a R&D performance. This study aims to conduct the efficiency analysis on the construction R&D projects to provide the basis for evaluating the performance of research and development. Toward this end, this study performs an efficiency analysis, which reflects all of the input and output data into/from the construction R&D by utilizing the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). The proposed methodology can be utilized to make a better decision on the priority of the R&D investments and present a sound basis to suggest the areas to be improved so as to reduce the inefficiency of R&D projects.
