This research studied the determinants of private R&D investment by examining the innovation strategies of 481 small and medium enterprises (SMEs, their employee size is 5 or more and less than 300) in Busan, South Korea. The data is derived from the Technology Survey of Small and Medium Enterprises in 2001 and 2003. Three explanatory variables for the innovation strategies are the R&D portfolio, the organization (personnel) for R&D, and the strategic role of CEO for innovation. The technological levels of industries are controlled in the linear regression model. The dependent variable is the total private R&D investment of a firm in the given fiscal year. The empirical results indicate that the private R&D investment positively correlates with the complexity of the R&D portfolio, the formal organization for R&D team, and the increase of R&D personnel. The formal organization for R&D team and the number of R&D personnel are correlated with the increase of private R&D investment across the four groups in the manufacturing sector but not in the service sector. These findings suggest that the innovation policy needs to target firms who have complex R&D portfolios, the formal organization of R&D teams, and sufficient R&D personnel in order to increase the private R&D investment of SMEs in regions, with consideration of industrial characteristics.

The purpose of this study is to identify the level of development of major technologies used in smart manufacturing in Korea and to use it as an objective basis for establishing smart manufacturing R & D personnel training policies. We select 25 key technologies to build and operate smart factories for the US, Germany, Japan, EU, Korea, and China, and examine the level (%) and gap (year) by smart manufacturing technology in each country. Based on the results, it is expected to contribute to reinforcing the global market competitiveness of the Korea manufacturing industry by checking the current status of R & D personnel training and suggesting policy suggestions for nurturing R & D personnel.

Various fields are being combined and developed for the development of the country and industry. The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of interdisciplinary research on the technology commercialization of researchers in the national R&D project. For the purpose of empirical analysis, major research and development have been reviewed. Major research and development projects conducted by government-funded research institution in which various technological fields are integrated in order to commercialize technology. The research data is based on the major R&D project data for railway/public transportation/logistics fields technology in 2015-17, and 149 project were selected for analysis. As a result, it was found that diversity of participants' experts had significant positive effect on technology commercialization when R&D expense, The number of research participants, The number of participating organizations, TRL before R&D were controlled. It is expected that the results of this study will be used meaningfully when the R&D program plan, analysing the academic convergence factor of research topic.

We examined the relationship between innovation capability of R&D and the firm's performance by mainly comparing regional strategy industry with non-regional strategy industry. Also, this analysis involved comparing the relationship by regional strategy industry. For the purpose of this study, we divided innovation capability of R&D into input, process and output. The first of main results in this study was that regional strategic industry was significantly higher than non-regional strategy industry in innovation capability of R&D with the exception of the CEO's mind for technological innovations. However, we found no significant difference in the firm's performance. Second, in the results of comparing innovation capability of R&D and the firm's performance by regional strategy industry, electronic-information equipment industry was significantly superior to other industries. Third, it was found that the relationship between innovation capability of R&D and the firm's performance was different by regional strategy industry. Also, R&D manpower and R&D process were more significant factors affecting the firm's performance rather than R&D input and output.

VR/AR 관련 산업은 신산업 창출, 일자리 증대, 국민 생활 향상 등을 목표로 VR/AR 산업의 육성과 활성화를 위해 부처 차원에서 진행하고 있다. 국내 VR/AR 산업은 글로벌 시장과 비교 시 기술력, 산업 현장 인력 부족, 기존 산업과의 접목 등 여러 요소가 필요하다고 평가하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 VR/AR 관련 분야의 산업 활성화를 위해 최근10년 동안의 국가R&D 과제와 참여인력 정보 등을 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 참여 인력은 년도 별로 증가하지만, 특정 지역에 집중되어 있으며, 석·박사 수준의 고급 인력이 부족한 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 매년 정부의 연구비 투자가 증가하였고, 기업과 대학에서 공동 연구가 활발하게 이루어지고 있었다. 이러한 분석 정보는 정부가 추진하는 VR/AR 산업 활성화를 위해 앞으로의 정부 재정적 지원, 산학연 협력관계 구축, 실무에 적합한 전문인력 양성 등 정책결정에 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

세계경제 포럼(World Economic Forum)에서 발표한 '교육의 새로운 비전(New Vision for Education)'은 '인재야말로 21세기 혁신, 경쟁력, 성장을 이끄는 핵심 요소'라고 하였다. 이처럼 인재의 중요성이 더욱 강조되고 있는 상황에서 본 연구는 4차 산업혁명 시대에 맞는 R&D 인력 육성을 위해 기업가역량을 중심으로 위험을 감수하고 포착된 새로운 기회를 실현하는 도전정신을 가진 기업가 육성을 위한 방안을 고민해 보고자한다. 다시 말해 4차 산업혁명 시대는 지금까지의 문제 해결중심의 창업, 교육과정과는 다른 문제를 정확히 인식하고 미래변화에 인내를 가지고 유연하게 대처하는 능력의 인재 육성이 필요하다. 이를 위해 본 연구는 신입 R&D 인력 대상으로 현재 기업가역량을 평가하고 부족한 역량에 대해서는 보다 개선/강화할 수 있는 방안을 제안한다.

This study examined 142 electronic components, video, audio, and communications equipment manufacturers (KSIC 32) out of all the SMEs that responded to the Survey on Technology of the Small and Medium Enterprises in both 2005 and 2007 and empirically analyzed how the external resources utilization and the absorptive capability affected the management and the innovation performance in two years as well as how the absorptive capability moderated these relationships. According to the results of analysis, the external resources utilization, as measured by the technology collaboration and the governments R&D subsidies, did not have a significant impact on performance whereas R&D investment showed a positive (+) influence on the sales and R&D personnel ratio, negative (-). On the other hand, the moderating effect of absorptive capability varied by measurement method and independent variables. That is, when a technology collaboration takes place, the performance improved with the increase of R&D investment but R&D personnel ration had an opposite effect. The companies whose performance improved as the government R&D subsidies increase are those with low R&D investment or high R&D personnel ratio. These results demonstrate that the SME's external resources utilization cannot replace the internal and that the absorptive capability needs to be accumulated to maximize the effectiveness of external resources utilization. Also, the technology collaboration requires SME's aggressive investment in R&D and the government R&D subsidies turn out to be more helpful for the companies that already have the R&D personnel but have been unable to develop their own technology due to insufficient funds. This study has limitations in that it was conducted within the limited industry categories and samples, but has overcome those of the existing researches by identifying causal relationships through the use of longitudinal data.

“R&D 인력은 LG의 희망입니다.”구본문 LG그룹 회장이 공개석상에서 자주 하는 말이다. R&D를 성장동력의 1순위로 삼는 LG의 정신이 그대로 묻어나오는 대목이다. 이에 가정용 에어컨, 광스토리지, DVD플레이어, 일반형 청소기 등 전자제품 시장에서 세계 1위에 올라선 LG전자의 저력 역시 산하 연구소의 R&D 인력들이 일궈낸 기술력에서 비롯된 것으로 평가되고 있다. LG전자는 2010년까지 글로벌 톱3으로 올라선다는 중장기 비전을 내세웠다. 이러한 비전도 R&D에 대한 자신감의 발로로 해석된다. 이에 LG전자의 가전제품에서 최근 디지털미디어기기까지LG전자의주력제품을연구해온디지털미디어연구소를찾았다.

Reference linking based on a identification system is being widely used both domestically and overseas. National R&D information contains all information related to the R&D programs such as the output and equipment information resulting from the participant and project information. The reference linking service enables the user to freely look up output of a certain program, participant of a project, equipment information from the project or participant and all other information that originates from a R&D project without having to search for it. The reference linking service in the area of national R&D will enable the linking of heterogeneous information produced at different sources.
