This study investigated the policy instruments pertinent to the establishment of a regional innovation system in the Mekong Delta that facilitates the development of a countermeasure towards various issues of industrial and technological nature. First, we conducted the research with regard to the status and environment of the region. Second, a field visiting survey was implemented to analyze the results of international efforts and regional capacity to solve the problems attendant upon introducing technologies related to the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Third, we derived the key policy issues and challenges from the results of the field visiting survey and experts' conference with a deep focus on technological transfer and international cooperation to enhance the capability in the science and technology field. Fourth, we conducted the opinion survey of the experts from Korea and Vietnam to converge local opinions from both countries and analyzed the results. The range of research subjects is responding to climate change, managing water resources, coordinating energy and industrial structure, making a resilient Mekong regional ecosystem, smartification of local cities, and improving the life quality of citizens, and so on. The results of this study are expected to be the beginning of fundamental research in the mid to long-term view of the Mekong Delta region innovation system of Korea and Vietnam and to evaluate the master plan.

The role of innovation in economic growth and development is extensively recognized today. Innovations allow firms to stay ahead in a competitive environment while also playing a leading role in developing a nation or a region. The capacity to solve critical problems depends on the generation of innovations. Innovations are more important for a developing nation as only through them, they can find appropriate solutions to the issues unique to their context. A robust roadmap that fosters and nurtures innovations in a country has thus become an essential aspect of public policy. In this context, the book The Black Box: Innovation and Public Policy in India by Prof. Rakesh Basant provides an overview of the innovation landscape in India and the challenges it faces in building a robust entrepreneurial and innovation ecosystem in the country. The author provides an extensive analysis of different actors within India's innovation system and recommends policy initiatives to boost and foster innovation.

Policy planners in Asia readily covet high technology districts and regional systems of innovation such as Silicon Valley. We examine the law's role, by way of covenants not to compete (競業禁止條項) in the development of Silicon Valley by reviewing the literature from 1999 through 2013. The research suggests that in certain high-tech districts such as Silicon Valley, there are greater gains in the innovation of a region by prohibiting CNCs. While we emphasize CNC law as the main legal determinant to Silicon Valley's success, the application of trade secret law and the inevitable disclosure doctrine are also factors that can aid or restrict the mobility and knowledge spillover of a region. Even with much explored, perspectives are lacking from a regional innovation systems analysis, and more so in the context of Asian nations. To tackle these gaps, three analytical frameworks are presented that entails labor law, law and economics, and law and innovation. And from within the law and innovation framework, research is introduced in the hope that future discussions on Asian regional innovation systems consider the legal foundation of Silicon Valley.

This paper reviews regional innovation policy in Japan. 'Technopolis' policy, the first technology-based regional development policy in the world, was implemented in Japan. Nonetheless, technology-based regional endogenous development did not occur. Then, regional technology transfer was pursued. In order to make use of universities and public research institutes in a region for development, university-industry collaboration and cross-over, such as university spin-offs, were promoted. Within this background, new technology-based regional development policies have been introduced based on a cluster approach. These policies are the knowledge cluster Initiative and the industrial cluster program. However, existing companies have difficulty in carrying out innovation. This paper argues that a cluster to create new start-ups that carry out innovation is also needed and explains a new concept of venturing cluster. Based on this new cluster concept, this paper analyzes the situation of Sapporo in Japan, where many university spin-offs are being created in the biotechnology field.

In the past few decades, the importance of dynamics of University-Industry Linkage(UIL) in strengthening national and regional innovation competency and global competitiveness has been progressively more acknowledged. However, establishing an effective UIL for a better economic development is still a challenging endeavor in Ethiopia, particularly in Tigray region. This study is aimed at assessing the status of UIL and in order to achieve such aim it analyzed the determinants of firms' intensity of interaction with the Mekelle University (MU) and the effect of the intensity of interaction on the relevant firms' innovation performance. The findings of the study showed that the status of UIL between the firms and the university in Tigray region was at an infant stage. The study also found that firm size, firm age (startups) and government supports have had a significant effect on firms' intensity of interaction with the MU. However, the firms' intensity of interaction with the MU did not have any significant effect on the firms' innovation performance. In contrast, cooperation with customers, other groups and suppliers, firm size, firm age, and in-house R&D activities were found to have a significant effect on the firms' innovation performance. In conclusion, the acquisition of knowledge and technology from university does not have an important role in firms' innovation performance in the studied region. Consequently, the government should design effective strategies and assign responsible bodies to implement the strategies, create awareness, and organize both firms and university to meet and work together in order to enhance firms' innovation performance.

본 글은 혁신도시를 세계화의 맥락에서 변화하는 도시 개념과 더불어 검토하고 혁신도시의 성격을 지역 및 국가의 경쟁력과 관련지어 고찰하였다. 수도권의 집중을 완화시키고 지역균형발전을 도모하기 위해 공공기관 이전을 통한 혁신도시의 건설의 당위성은 인정된다. 하지만 혁신도시에서 진정한 혁신이 일어날 가능성이 희박함을 지적하고 더구나 이를 통한 국가 및 지역 경쟁력 제고는 직접적인 해답이 아니며 오히려 원래 목적에 맞게 국토 균형 발전을 위한 공공기관의 지방 이전이라는 정책에 초점을 맞추기를 제안하고 있다. 주된 논리는 세방화 시대에 국가적 스케일을 담당하는 공공기관의 장소성은 의미가 없음에도 불구하고 입지, 인구 등의 물리적 이전을 통한 양적인 변화가 세계화의 네트워크에 편입하여 지방의 혁신을 가져오는 질적인 변화로의 전이가 불가능하다는 것이다. 오히려 혁신은 기존의 지역 혁신관련 정책을 보다 지역의 특성과 현실에 맞게 적용하는 것이 나으며 지역 및 국가 경쟁력 강화를 위해서 동시에 추진되어야 할 것은 중앙정부의 권력을 지방으로 이전하는 지방분권이며 그로 인해 지방이 자생력을 갖추게 하고 그에 더하여 세계적 파이프라인과 접속될 수 있게 하는 사회간접자본의 확충이다.

본 연구에서는 기존 연구에서 협력이 혁신을 증가시키거나 혁신성과를 높인다는 결과에 착안하여 협력이 동일지역에서 일어나는 경우 협력의 효과가 더 크게 나타나 혁신성과를 더 높이는 방향으로 작용할 것이라는 가정에서 출발하였다. 분석결과를 살펴보면 동일지역 내 협력경험은 혁신성과를 크게 높이는 것으로 나타나 협력에서 협력대상의 위치가 중요한 결정요인이 될 수 있다는 것을 보여주었다. 이 결과가 주는 시사점은 산업클러스터가 기업의 혁신성과에 큰 영향을 미칠 수 있다는 점이다. 이에 국가의 산업정책이 클러스터 형성의 방향으로 수립되어야 함을 의미한다.

This study aims to analyze the regional variations in which appear during the formation process of educational community in rural villages from the perspective of regional innovation theory. The study results revealed that the activities to form an educational community of the Songak village significantly influenced the variations across the social, economic and environmental aspects beyond an innovation of public education within the region based on interrelation between schools and villages. In other words, the activities including interactions and group learnings have been actively promoted among the various relevant stakeholders, thereby resulting in a variety of positive variations such as expanded regional welfare base, activated voluntary residents community gatherings based on the unity and cooperation, broadened socioeconomic opportunities, satisfaction on educational and cultural desires, and construction of healthy ecological environment in the region. Therefore, it is thought that regional development policy suitable for each region needs to be established by embracing the fact that activities to form a village educational community entail significant implication and value as the comprehensive regional innovation activities across the entire domains in each region.

혁신적인 경제에서 정책 인센티브와 정책방향의 개발은 항상 중요하다. 혁신정책은 특화산업의 시장구조를 선도하면서 산업의 역동성을 결정하기 때문이다. 본 연구는 대전지역의 무선통신산업의 변화를 이해하기 위해 산업융합의 발전을 탐색한다. 초기의 관심은 기업자체의 R&D센터였지만, 비즈니스 모델은 자체적인 상품의 연구개발보다 외부 수요에 대응하는 연구개발이 대부분이었다. 지역혁신을 위해서, 무선통신융합산업의 정책은 자체 제품개발패턴이 되어야 한다.
