This paper employs datasets from the Enterprise Survey conducted by the World Bank to examine the relationship between four types of innovation defined by the Oslo Manual (OECD, 2005): product innovation, process innovation, marketing innovation, organization innovation, and the firm performance in the selected developing ASEAN economies. The main objective of this paper is to understand the characteristics of innovation activities at the firm level and how various innovation types affect firm performance. The empirical results from ASEAN manufacturing firms reveal that product innovation positively affects firms' performance, while non-technological innovations are negatively related to the performance of firms. The further employed quantile regression provides more insights into the roles of innovation types on different levels of firm performance: while product and process innovations actively contribute to the small and medium-size firms (below 25^th quantile and median), organizational and marketing innovations negatively affect them. Interestingly, the role of process innovation decreases when firm performance grows.

The United States National Innovation system has many distinctive aspects and its government research institutes (GRI's) play a variety of important roles within the overall system. This paper reviews issues pertaining to U.S. GRI's but within the broader concept of US science and technology policy. After presenting an overview of the GRI's in this broader context, the paper presents a brief historical analysis of changes in the roles and deployment of U.S. GRI's. After identifying unique features of GRI's (ones that separate the U.S. GRI's from other nations) the paper concludes by identifying the ways in which the U.S. experience may be relevant to other nations such as Korea. The lessons include the competition-cooperation with large-scale and multidisciplinary university research centers, the use of GRI's to promote sharing and efficiencies in fundamental scientific equipment and resources, and the ability of GRI's to accelerate the development of science and technology.

In this paper, innovation policies for systems reform in China since the middle 80's are surveyed and its impacts on science industry linkage activities are investigated by looking into (1) technology market, (2) S&T outsourcing activities of firms and (3) co-invention patents by applicants in firms, universities and public research institutions. All of these findings suggest that the role of science sector in China's economic development process has become larger, and double skin problem (separation of science and industry sector) in China's innovation system has been gradually solved by a number of policy actions to facilitate science industry linkages.

This article explores the historical evolutionary process of the biopharmaceutical industry of Korea, and how intentional and unintentional policy interventions have triggered the creation of the industry's system dynamics and paved the way for the generation of a few global leading products, including biosimilar, as well as next-generation therapeutics of gene and cell. The policies cover the simple technology transfer of API synthesis to overcome the endemic parasitic disease, new substance patent adoption and new drug development consortia, human resource development, various national initiatives influenced by the Human Genome Project, and venture promotion schemes. The scope and implementation tools under these policies have been aligned and refined to transform traditional fine chemical-based pharmaceuticals, to stimulate large companies' participation and to create technology-based venture companies in the biopharma business of Korea.

혁신클러스터는 기업, 대학, 연구기관, 정부 및 기타 지원기관 등 다수의 주체들 간 협력과 네트워킹에 의해 구성되지만, 혁신클러스터의 핵심이라고 할 수 있는 벤처생태계에 있어 혁신의 주요 주체는 바로 기업이다. 그렇기 때문에, 혁신클러스터에 입주한 기업은 혁신클러스터 정책의 주요한 수요자로 볼 수 있다. 정책이 원활히 수행되기 위해서는 정책수요자의 정책 수용(acceptance)이 중요하다. 그러나 정책 우선순위 결정에 관한 기존의 연구는 정책공급자 중심으로 이루어지는 경향이 있어, 정책수요자 관점에서의 점검이 필요하다. 이에 따라, 본 연구는 정책공급자 중심의 하향식 관점(top down)과 정책수요자의 상향식 관점(bottom up) 간 균형적 시각을 통해 올바른 정책방향을 수립하기 위해 양방향의 관점에서 논의를 진행하였다. 먼저, 선행연구와 전문가 면담 등을 통해 혁신클러스터 활성화 요인(1계층 3개 요인, 2계층 14개 요인)을 도출했다. 이후, 혁신클러스터 정책의 대표 사례인 대덕연구개발특구의 정책공급자 그룹과 수요자 그룹을 대상으로 혁신클러스터 활성화 요인의 중요도를 AHP(Analytic Hierarchy Process)를 이용하여 분석했다. 혁신클러스터 활성화 요인에 대해 정책공급자와 수요자 관점에서 중요도를 분석한 결과 일부 유사점도 보이나, 전반적으로는 상호 인식의 차이가 존재하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 정책공급자 그룹은 혁신창출 요인에 집중하는 반면, 정책수요자 그룹은 보다 균형적인 시각에서 혁신창출, 클러스터, 산업입지 요인을 바라보고 있는 것으로 조사되었다. 본 연구는 기존의 정책공급자 중심의 연구에서 정책수요자까지 대상을 확대하여 양 관점을 균형있게 다루었다는 점에서 의의가 있다. 또한 혁신클러스터 육성에 있어 기업 니즈 중심으로 정책이 수행될 수 있도록 기초자료를 제공한다는 측면에서 실무적인 기여도 존재한다.

In industrialised countries, innovation is a key source of economic growth. Rrsearch is a key driver of technological innovation and involves the process of systematic investigation and/or experimentation to discover new knowledge. The Governments'industry innovation policy supports a business focus on Research and Development (R&D) through a range of programs in order to achieve these aims. The Innovation Statement (DISR 2000, 20010, launched by the Australian Prime MinisterJanuary 2001, commits an additional ${\$}$3 billion over five years to encourage and support innovation. The Australian Government aims toworld competitive firms and strong research capability in industry to strengthen Australia's international competitiveness and increase national prosperity. It develops policies and programs to enhance investment in innovation. The Australian Government has established a number of R&D funding support programs aimed at increasing the level of R&D in Australia. The backbone of these programs is the tax concession program, which is made up of the 125 per cent R&D tax concession, the 175 per cent premium tax concession and the tax offset. Over 4000 businesses take advantage of the tax concession scheme, which costs the government around ${\$}$400mi11ion a year. This cost is expected to rise to over hall a billion by 2005-06 (commonwealth or Australia, 2003). Ensuring these resources are invested where they provide significant national economic benefits is a major policy issue. In this sense, this paper looks at the appropriateness, effectiveness and efficiency of the R&D tax concession with costs and benefits analysis.

Recent years have seen an intensified discussion in many OECD countries about the role and mission of public research in the innovation system. This discussion takes place in quite specific national contexts, but should benefit from international experience. However, whereas voluminous literatures address the changing governance methods, organizational forms and missions of universities, much less attention has been devoted to developing a common understanding of the challenges faced by non-university public research institutions. The main goals of this paper is to contribute to clarifying the nature of these challenges, outlines possible policy answers and draws some implications for Korea. In the first section, the paper uses available internationally comparable indicators to review trends in the contribution of government research institutes (GRIs) to R&D and innovation activities. In the second section, the paper identifies the current major changes in the dynamics of innovation that may call for further adjustments in the positioning, organization and steering of public research institutes. Finally, the paper outlines some strategic objectives and orientations for the reform of public research institutes as part of the broader agenda of the Korean innovation strategy.

Text data mining ('big data methods') is one of the most widely used approaches during the COVID-19 pandemic. In particular, text data mining on Scopus databases or Web of Science (WoS). Text data mining is widely used to collect literature for later bibliometric analysis, and in the end, it becomes a literature review article. Therefore, in this article, we reveal the trend of publication of literature reviews in Scopus journals from Indonesia, Japan, South Korea, Vietnam, Singapore, and Malaysia. This article describes two essential parts, namely 1) a comparison of international publication trends and subject area of literature review publications, and 2) a comparison of Top 5 for Authors, Affiliation, Source Title, and Collaboration Country.

This paper analyzes the factors that determine technology innovation in Korean manufacturing firms, focusing on the role of intra-firm knowledge diffusion and market strategy in patent production. For empirical analysis, zero-inflated negative binomial (ZINB) regression is applied to the 2009 Human Capital Corporate Panel data. The empirical findings confirm the critical role of intra-firm knowledge-sharing processes in technology innovation; firms with a market-leading strategy oriented to new product development also tend to be prolific in patent production.
