Abstract
The purpose of this research is to develop a model for efficient service R&D investment in government budgeting process. It is necessary to develop an efficient and effective investment model to improve competitiveness of the service industry and national economy. Various existing types of service R&D classification have been reviewed. And object-oriented service R&D request classification types have been derived. A tentative model for evaluating service R&D requests have been developed through extensive discussions on effective methodologies. The model has been refined and revised by four service budgeting experts. The revised and refined checklists and guidelines have been used for 40 real service R&D requests evaluations. As a result, a full model for service R&D evaluation and budgeting has been proved to be useful. Also, a need for more efficient and concise evaluation model has been raised through this evaluation process. A brief model with only 10 checklists has been developed and its usefulness has been proven by pilot test with 10 real service R&D requests. The results of this study can be used for evaluation of service R&D proposals and effective budgeting of R&D requests for improving global competitiveness. Further research is needed for refining the developed evaluation models.
