This paper studies examines the R&D efficiency in Korean energy industry by making multiple logistic regression of the product technological level with firms' endogenous technological efforts and cooperations for R&D between upstream and downstream firms. The technological level of Korean energy industry is analyzed to have been positively influenced by economy of scale effect and cooperations for R&D between upstream and downstream firms, but negatively impacted by firm size, and not impacted by competitive market structure, R&D investment, and R&D manpowers. The implications of this study are as follows: i) to heighten the technological level, domestic market would be transformed to be more competitive; ii) Korean Energy industry should make efforts intensifying R&D-related manpowers and investments; iii) although the firm size is analyzed to have negative impact on technological level, firms, lager or smaller, must be supported to accumulate technological capabilities; iv) R&D-cooperating efforts between upstream and downstream firms on the value-chain should be supported.

The Korean government's R&D budget has risen steadily annually, reaching 24.2 trillion won in 2020, and the ratio of R&D expenditure to GDP ranked high among OECD countries. However, national science and technology innovation ranked low among OECD countries. This study focused on Korean government-funded research institutes in the field of science and technology by analyzing the effects of budget and workforce input on research performance in order to provide directions for management. Multiple regression analysis was conducted with budget and workforce input as independent variables, which influence major research outcomes (SCI paper, patent, royalty). In the research budget, only government contribution had a positive effect on SCI thesis performance, and the increase in the government project and private project funding had a negative effect on the number of patents and technology royalties. For the workforce, the positive effect of regular workers on all research achievements was 3-6 times more than that of non-regular workers. Through this study, policy implications such as establishment of institutional performance indicators according to research types were derived for the outcome driven management of government-funded research institutes in the field of science and technology.

The purpose of this research is to analyze the performance of national R&D projects and to find out measures to improve the performance indicators, focusing on energy HRD projects. The main analysis target is 86 energy manpower projects supported since 2010. The performance indicators of the energy HRD projects are related to the research capacity, the number of emission workers, industry-university linkage, job creation and so on, and analyzed by using the 11 indicators of human resource performance index called KPI index. As a result of analyzing the attainment level of the proposed target by task, the index with the highest achievement level is the corporation linkage rate, and the index with the lowest achievement level is the participating company employment. As a result of examining the effects of job creation in company - linked activities, it was found that the greater the number of participating companies in the business, the greater the employment creation effect of the number of internships. As a result of the above analysis, the following policy alternatives are proposed. First, it is necessary to consider adding indicators that can express the quality performance of the business and performance indicators that can express actual business linkages. Second, it is necessary to strengthen the management of differentiated performance indicators according to policy performance targets and major target groups. Third, it is necessary to improve information input and accumulation system along with improvement of performance index.

This study aims to suggest methods for improving innovation capability in Daegu-Gyeongbuk's mobile industry. Before offering suggestions, it analyzes the characteristics of technological innovation based on the mobile industry's value chain in Daegu-Gyeongbuk in relation to R&D workforce, R&D expenditures, and R&D networks. Support for R&D workforce in the Daegu-Gyeongbuk's mobile industry is concentrated in the mobile device and contents sectors. In addition, it is difficult for companies to finance R&D expenditures because most are SMEs, except for some large enterprises in the mobile device sector. R&D networks are structured mainly inside of companies, and linkages among universities, research institutes, and supporting institutes are weak in all sectors. To strengthen the innovation capability in Daegu-Gyeongbuk's mobile industry, therefore, human resource projects should be dispersed, and financial support should also be spread across value chain sectors rather than concentrated. Aside from this, a place for industry, academia, institutes, and government to build and enhance innovative networks should be created in all sectors.

지역 R&D 혁신생태계를 조성하고자 정부는 부처별로 다수의 지역 공공 R&D조직들을 다투어 구축하고 있다. 현재 지역 공공 R&D조직은 그 역할과 기능이 명확하지 않고, 지자체는 지역 실정에 맞는 지를 따지기 보다는 "일단 유치하고 보자"는 인식이 강하다. 조직의 구성원은 중앙정부 공공 R&D조직문화 및 운영방식에 익숙해져 있어서, 지역 공공 R&D 생태계와 상호작용, 협력메카니즘 구축에 여러 가지 어려움이 있다. 한국기초과학지원연구원은 지역연구자들에게 근거리 연구지원을 위해 전국에 9개의 지역센터를 운영하고 있다. 지역 R&D 혁신생태계 중 기초과학지원이라는 중요한 영역을 맡고 있다. 하지만, 현재 지역센터는 분석수요 대비 지역센터의 인력 및 인프라 미흡, 유지비용 부족으로 성장의 한계에 부딪힌 상황이다. 현재 지역센터의 역할 재정립에 대한 요구가 크다. 본 연구에서는 기초과학지원연구원의 지역센터에 대한 인터뷰 및 설문조사를 통해 지역 공공 R&D 조직의 역할과 기능에 대해 짚어보았다. 우선 지역센터의 현황과 문제점을 종합적으로 살펴보았다. 그리고 지역센터의 역할과 기능, 지역내 포지셔닝을 살펴보고, 실질적인 운영방안검토 및 새로운 역할과 발전전략에 대해 검토하였다. 본 연구는 앞으로 기초과학지원 연구원의 지역센터를 비롯한 지역공공 R&D조직은 국가차원의 당위적 수직적 역할 외에도 지역차원의 수평적 협력적 역할에 대해 새롭게 조명하고, 지역 관점에서 지역 공공 R&D 생태계와 지역산업까지 그 성과가 이어질 수 있도록 역할전환이 필요하다는 점을 제시하였다.
