In this study, we suggest a new perspective on the linkage between alliance portfolio diversity and innovation performance based on a contingency approach. Using a longitudinal data set on alliance portfolios and patents of 182 firms in the U.S. manufacturing industries, we examined that alliance portfolio diversity has a U-shaped relationship with firm-level innovation. Internal value creation capabilities in terms of routine and ability are found to moderate the relationship between alliance portfolio diversity and innovation performance: Organizational search routine strengthens the relationship of alliance portfolio diversity and innovation performance while technological capabilities weaken and flip the relationship.

We have identified the paradigm, the knowledge structure, and the roles of S&T policy studies in Korea by empirical analysis and focus group interviews. First, it provisionally concluded that S&T policy studies in Korea are still in the pre-paradigm stage. Specifically, the level of consensus among scholars about the "academic definition of discipline" and "research scope", which is essential for an independent discipline, is still low. Next, a great part of the existing S&T policy studies in Korea is excessively weighted in specific research scopes and researcher groups. For a balanced development as an academic discipline, such imbalance must be overcome. Third, the studies in Korea showed that much of the research in the earlier stage was fragmented at the micro-level. More recently, however, S&T policy studies show co-evolutionary patterns, which increase the responsiveness of the society. Based on this analysis, the future direction of studies should form a unique flow of our own, building Korean policy cases and models rather than following those developed countries.

This work firstly aims to analyse how the policy makers had been able to sort out the two policy issues, 'how did the MOST establish the inter-departmental project' and 'why did the MOST give a legal power to the private experts', in the process of policy making for Highly Advanced National(HAN) project, called G7 Project, which had been implemented for 10 years in 1990s. Then, this will discuss the policy implications available to the similar policy areas in the future. The result shows that the agenda setting of the G7 Project, one of the successful national R&D projects in Korea, had been initiated by a few leaders who had have the perspective of pioneer. In addition, this explains that private experts had more played than civil servant did in the process of policy formation, which had been backed up by the R&D plannin4g system then introduced in R&D management process for the frist time. This case study will provide policy makers with the opportunities to remind 'the necessities of the policy management by the system not actors', 'more effective management of distribution policy' and 'the better role of related experts in the policy making process'. Also, above issues will make both the practitioners and the researchers again consider how to improve the rationality and effectiveness of the policy making process in the field of science and technology.

Examining the relation between market structure and the value of innovation is important for competition and STI policy. If the value is large in a specific industry structure, government may lead the industry to take that form to enhance innovation. Our simple calibration in the case of linear demand and constant MC results in the conclusion that the incentive for R&D in the case of major and minor innovation in Cournot competition is less than that of merger and cooperative R&D. This emphasizes again "necessary evil" as a monopoly for innovation.

This study analyzes a language network of Science and Technology Basic Plan, which is the basis for science and technology policy in Korea, for the next Science and Technology Basic Plan. Language network analysis was adopted for a quantitative approach measuring the trend of policies. Several techniques such as keyword analysis, language network map analysis, quantitative characteristics analysis and keyword-related major-word analysis have been performed. Results show that there are common policies emphasized by all Science and Technology Basic Plans in the past, and there are also specific policies emphasized in each period of the Science and Technology Basic Plan. These specific policies come from a 'change of times' when the Science and Technology Basic Plans were established, as well as the philosophy of the national government.

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.

참여정부 이후에 명시적 및 암묵적 형태의 다양한 클러스터 정책들이 추진되어 왔으나, 산업집적지 경쟁력의 근본적 강화를 위해서 기존과는 다른 새로운 정책적 대안을 모색해야 한다는 의견들이 제기되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 최근 들어 대안적인 지역산업정책 도구로서 활발히 논의되고 있는 스마트전문화 전략과 트리플헬릭스 혁신체계 이론이 기존의 클러스터 정책과 어떠한 이론적 및 정책적 연계성을 가지고 있으며 대안적 클러스터 정책 수립을 위해 어떠한 함의를 제공하는 지에 대해 논의하였다. 이를 통해, 대안적 클러스터 정책은 지역특수성에 토대를 두고 산 학 관의 자발적 협력에 기초한 혁신의 합의공간(consensus space) 구축을 통해 추진되어야 하며, 지역 대학의 경쟁력 강화와 실질적인 산학협력 활성화를 위한 체계적이고 집중적인 투자와 집적지의 관련 다각화 기반을 활용한 신산업의 육성에 초점을 둘 필요가 있음을 강조한다.

After being introduced "4th Industrial Revolution" in the Davos Forum 2016, it is continuously talked about "4th Industrial Revolution" as an industrial and social innovation momentum for solving structural problems of economy and society. In this situation, our government established "the Committee of 4th Industrial Revolution" as a control tower and announced a policy "4th Industrial Revolution recommendation for government" in 2019. The Ministry of National Defense is pursuing "4th Industrial Revolution" policies and organizing a team "4th Industrial Revolution Smart Defense Innovation Team" in accordance with government-wide policies from 2019. In this paper, I will look at the background and status of the Smart Defense Innovation policy. And I am proposing development plans to create practical results as like "Strengthening governance for the Smart Defense Innovation" and "Implementation of the budget for the Smart Defense Innovation" and so on.

Basic research is becoming more important in knowledge-based economy. In Korea, government's research policy has been enforcing applied research and development for economic growth rather than basic research. But, in 21st century, Korea's catch-up policy in science and technology arrived its limit. Without creative knowledge, we cannot expect national competitiveness. Therefore, we have to reform our research policy for national competitiveness. The directions are as follows; first, strengthening basic research, especially use-inspired basic research. Second, enlarging individual research program rather than group research program. Third, encouraging universities' specification through research grant review criteria. Fourth, beginning a new program for supporting regional universities' competitiveness.

What are some of the explanations for cross-national diversity of foresight performance among technological followers? Why are some countries more successful than others in learning how to develop national innovation system foresight? This paper argues that the answers are linked to organizational capacities at three different levels: governmental, policy network and social learning. To corroborate this argument, the paper chose Iran and Korea as benchmarking partners, and attempts to find out what makes Iran a slow learner in building innovation system foresight. The conceptual model is an improved model of Saritas's, by integrating Borras' and Andersen's conceptions and classifications. The data are collected from comprehensive interviews in both countries and second-hand data of international indexes. The paper, finally, concludes that it is the weakness of analytical-systemic capacity that impedes and delays the emergence of systemic foresight in Iran, and that this weakness stems from the adverse impacts of the dominant institutions, surrounding the innovation system. The final point is that it is not sufficient for Iran to learn the methods and techniques of foresight from Korea. It should learn how to open its macro-policy towards the global market and design appropriate industrial strategy in a coherent policy-strategy portfolio.
