  • This paper articulates the STI strategy development principles and methodologies that have been elaborated through iterative processes of STI strategy development cases for the past ten years. The consultation cases include poverty traps in Nepal and Laos, African health challenges in Nigeria and Tanzania, and ASEAN global challenges in Indonesian Water, Vietnamese Green Energy, and Filipino Food, in partnership with some multilateral agencies.The iterative elaboration process has continued with consultation activities on Thailand and on Cambodia, Laos and Myanmar in planning partnership with Thailand. The principles were originally conceptualized from the benchmarking process of the Korean STI development experience. They were further incorporated as methodologies with which relevant planning bodies are guided to address individual and regional challenges through science, technology and innovation strategies. The methodologies are strong in providing plausible holistic perspective scenarios by which various stakeholders can be engaged in the planning and implementation process. But it is heuristic in nature and can be learned only through on-the-job training process. This is the structural limitation for scaling up.

  • 이 논문은 2017년 현재, 우리나라에서 과학기술정책학 또는 과학기술정책 연구가 독자적인 학문 정체성을 가지고 있는가 하는 문제의식에서 수행되었다. 이를 위하여 국내에서 출판된 과학기술정책 관련 단행본 19권을 대상으로, 학문 패러다임 형성의 핵심요소인 학문적 정의와 핵심 연구범위의 논의 여부를 분석하였다. 연구결과는 현 시점에서의 우리나라 과학기술정책학은 패러다임 형성 이전의 단계에 머물러 있다는 잠정 결론을 내렸다. 이러한 결론에 근거하여 연구자들은 향후 과학기술정책학의 패러다임 완성에 필요한 학문적 정의와 연구범위를 새롭게 제안하였다. 과학기술정책학은 '과학기술 활동 및 과학기술과 관련된 정치 경제 사회 문화의 제반 현상을 연구 분석함으로써, (1) 과학기술 자체의 발전을 도모하면서 (2) 과학기술을 활용하여 국가와 공공 부문의 문제해결 능력을 높이고자 하는 정책지향적인 학문'으로 정의하였다. 과학기술 정책학의 '연구범위'는 (1) 과학기술 정책과정, (2) 과학기술 공공관리, (3) 연구관리, (4) 기술혁신의 4대 부문으로 제안하였다. 이 중에서 '과학기술 정책과정'과 '과학기술 공공관리'는 이 논문에서 제안하는 과학기술 정책학의 정의를 반영하는 새로운 내용이며, '기술혁신'과 '연구관리'는 기존 연구들도 대부분 포함하고 있는 과학기술정책학의 연구범위라고 할 수 있다.

  • This paper, searching for the origin of the science and technology policy, is one of the research series on the original form of current S&T policy such as origin, evolution and changing patterns. Without understanding the origin, it is very difficult to understand the evolution and the current change of the policy. To answer this question, 2 kinds of conditions are set: 4 concepts for the origin of a policy and also 4 conditions for the S&T policy itself. As the origin of a policy, 4 concepts are set such as independence, continuance, diffusion and modern state as a policy body. Also as conditions for S&T policy, there may be 4 conditions such as policy targets, policy functions, administration body and the usage of the name of the policy. S&T can be distinguished as science, technology and S&T along it's development path. There, hence, are 2 origins of science and technology policy. French policy for modern science at the late 18th century and the establishment of the Agency of Science and Technology Policy of Japan in 1956 can be pointed out as the origin of the policy. The former can be called as the origin for natural science, and the latter as the origin for S&T. This study implies that new paradigm of S&T policy is a reflection for both the needs of new S&T and social needs. When there were big problems in a society and when there appeared new S&T, they exploited new S&T vigorously. This has been remained as a rememberable monuments in the history of the S&T policy.

  • Korea is examining how to coordinate its S&T policies and solidify its position as a leader of infrastructure innovation policy that forms the foundation for many different policies. A number of questions have been raised, such as whether to install a superior coordinating body like the National Science and Technology Council (NSTC) or separate the budget allocation and coordination authority from the budget-planning ministry. Korea has tried using various institutional coordination devices and functions such as reorganizing its administrative ministries based on related functions and installing or reinforcing a superior coordinating body. In line with these discussions, the strengthening of the S&T policy coordination function through the NSTC is currently under review. In order to design an effective S&T coordination system in step with changing political and social demands, it is important to have a clear recognition of the current context as well as the unique institutional characteristics of Korea. This study examines the evolution of Korea's S&T policy coordination systems and analyzes its features.

  • The study compares network structures that emerged in three inter-organisational projects set up under the MSC Malaysia initiative by the Government of Malaysia. These consortia are seen as policy-driven inter-organisational networks and, with data collected through interviews; the links among the organisations are mapped to gain an understanding of the structures that emerged in these networks. The findings provide lessons for other emerging countries that are embarking on similar projects i.e. cluster-oriented developments with policy-driven inter-organisational networks. These findings are seen as particularly useful when emerging countries invest in technology-related projects and invite multinational companies to work together with local firms.

  • The aim of paper is to develop an alternative framework for the study of technological innovation systems. In contrast with conventional literature, this analytical framework is designed for entrepreneurs, i.e. actors, at the micro level rather than policy-makers at the meso or macro level. Herein, the entrepreneurial innovation system is conceptually refined by synthesizing knowledge regarding technological innovation and innovation systems. Drawing upon the intrinsic technological identity essential for innovation, the entrepreneurial innovation system is shown to involve three core changes in terms of technology, organization and market, and their couplings within its internal boundary over time. This analytical framework also takes into account the fact that the innovation system is influenced by and copes with the external environment during its evolution. Moreover, the framework of the entrepreneurial innovation system considers the recent trend of sustainable development. The technical and socio-economic characteristics of a nuclear powersystem are studied empirically to articulate an analytical framework that should be very useful for technological innovation in other energy systems by reflecting their unique features.

  • 과학기술혁신을 통해 사회문제 해결을 지향하는 혁신정책이 부상하고 있다. 이 정책은 기술적 측면과 사회적 측면을 통합적으로 고려할 것을 요구하고 있다. 본 연구는 사회문제 해결형 혁신을 위한 '사회-기술기획'이라는 새로운 활동의 필요를 제시하고 그것의 특성과 발전방향을 제시하였다. 이를 위해 본 연구는 국내외에서 이루어지고 있는 사회-기술기획 활동 사례를 살펴보고 그 성격과 유형을 정리하였다. 그리고 이를 기반으로 사회-기술기획 활동의 발전 방향을 제시했다.
