A Study on the Technological Network between Innovative Clusters in Korea - With Special Reference to the Network Analysis of Co-invention -

국내 혁신클러스터의 기술혁신 연계관계 연구 : 공동발명의 네트워크 분석을 중심으로

This study analyzed the linkage relations of technological innovation between Daedeok Innopolis and other seven innovative clusters in industrial complexes which have played important roles as innovative centers in Korea. To begin with, we selected major technologies of Daedeok Innopolis for which the linkage with other clusters of innovative activities was analyzed quantitatively and graphically with association matrices, network analysis and dendrogram. Based on this network analysis, we analyzed the technological linkage among clusters and found the direction and strength of technological cooperation of the Daedeok Innopolis with other innovative clusters by technology field. This study analyzed the technological network between the Daedeok Innopolis and other clusters on 6 technology fields in which Daedeok has innovative capabilities. In the analysis was measured the centrality of Daedeok compared with that of other clusters in areas where Daedeok is relatively active in innovative activities. As a result, Daedeok showed the highest centrality with the active innovative activities. Except Daedeok, Banwol-Sihwa cluster showed the highest centrality in all of the 6 technology fields. Putting all the centrality of each innovative cluster and the linkage relations of Daedeok Innopolis together, it need to consider the following policy directions to strengthen the innovative linkage with other clusters. In Daedeok's main technology areas, it needs to increase the regional linkage with the clusters with relatively high centrality and relatively low linkage with Daedeok. For Changwon, Wonju and Gunsan with which Daedeok has the relatively low innovative linkage, it need to examine a new policy to improve the linkage with technologies related with the industry other clusters are nurturing. When Daedeok formulates a plan to cooperate with other clusters, it does not only have to consider the linkage relations of technological innovation analyzed in this study and but also has to examine the cooperative strategies from the comprehensive point of view considering every aspect of their strategic industries, supportive policies, industrial base and competitiveness. This study analyzed the linkage relations between regions based on the network analysis of patents only by co-invention. Consequently, it did not examine the factors inducing the co-invention, which is a limitation of the study and is to be investigated in the future. Also, the exploratory analysis on determinants of linkage intensity and the strategies to get synergy effects through solidified linkage will be the issues of further study.

본 연구는 현재 우리나라의 혁신클러스터 역할을 수행하고 있는 대덕특구와 7개 산업단지 혁신클러스터를 대상으로 이들 클러스터간의 기술혁신활동의 연계관계를 대덕특구를 중심으로 분석하고자 한다. 이를 위해 대덕특구가 기술혁신 역량을 가지고 있는 것으로 보이는 주요 기술을 도출하며, 이 기술분야를 대상으로 한국의 최근 등록특허 중 공동발명을 통해 이루어진 특허를 추출하고 연계행렬을 구성하여 지역간 혁신활동의 연계관계를 계량적 시각적으로 도출하고자 한다. 이를 통해 대덕특구의 주요 기술분야별로 타 클러스터와의 기술혁신 연계관계를 계량적으로 분석하고, 이러한 분석에 기초하여 타 를러스터와의 기술협력 방향을 제시하고자 한다.
