Recently, as job creation has become a social issue, discussions about job creation through government R&D support are also actively being discussed. In this study, we tried to analyze empirically the effects of government R&D support of Korea on corporate employment. In this study, National Science and Technology Information Service (NTIS) data is used in order to obtain information on the government R&D support in Korea. NTIS data provides information on the support of Korean government R&D projects by year. Total 61,546 R&D projects conducted by the Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) from 2011 to 2016 were used for analysis. When analyzing the performance after the government support, it is necessary to distinguish whether the performance is due to the superior characteristics of the enterprise itself or by government support. In this study, Propensity Score Matching (PSM) method and multivariate matching method are simultaneously used for analysis. As a result of the analysis, government R&D beneficiaries showed an increase in terms of both the number of employees and total wage, which mean the quantity of employment. However, it was confirmed that the wage per employee of the beneficiary company decreased. The wage per employee means the quality of employment. Through this study, the employment creation effect of government R&D support and the necessity that both quantitative and qualitative effects should be considered in employment creation were demonstrated empirically.

The technological capacity building is one of the critical factors for the national development in developing countries. Especially, the establishment and management of relevant technological organization is a prerequisite for the technological capacity building in one's nation. In developing countries, not like developed countries, there are more factors to consider in the establishment of technological organization such as governance issue and sustainability. In this paper, the case of National Technology Innovation Center in Katmandu University, which is supported by Korean International Cooperation Agency, is analyzed. In the technology transfer related literature, it is argued that the absorptive capacity and transfer capacity are important in external technology learning and commercializing process. The case study shows that the absorptive capacity of developing country and transfer capacity of donor country are important as noted in the literature. In addition, the willingness to learn from the recipient organization is also critical in utilizing foreign technological aids. Even the study of one country case is not enough, it will give some practical knowledge to understand the establishment of technological infrastructure in the developing countries.

Recently, as scientific technologies have been modernized and upgraded, medium and large-sized research equipment have been regarded as a prerequisite condition for the maximization of the outcomes of R&D. The governments of many countries also perceived the importance of research equipment as such and have been making massive investments for research equipment. Given the importance of research equipment, efforts for efficient management of research equipment is required. In particular, the problem of replacing old research equipment has become important because the costs for repairs or maintenances are increased as R&D equipment becomes obsolete. The purpose of this paper is to assess the economic life of R&D equipment empirically using the data gathered from public R&D institutes in Korea which own and operate mid and large-scale research facilities. We developed a systematic model to apply the traditional engineering economic concept in assessing the economic service life of research facility owned by research institutes in Korea. Using this model, we estimated the economic service life of research equipment according to the category of facilities with respect to several economic dimensions. Finally, we suggested a policy scheme for efficient replacement of research facilities based on our estimation results.

Northern Punjab region of Pakistan, known as Potohar region comprises 2.26 (Million Hectre) of rich land with mean annual rainfall varying from 400 mm to 1400 mm that has high runoff potential. Climate of this region is affected by variation in rainfall frequency, flash floods and long dry periods. The increasing gap in water supply and demand put huge stress on already scarce water resources. Considering the potential of rainwater harvesting in Potohar, the Government has been subsidizing rainwater harvesting projects since 1980's. Given the historical uncertainties of climate, importance of rainwater harvesting is increased for it being a most feasible climate change adaptation option. Rainwater harvesting is evaluated as climate change adaptation option by performing cost benefit analysis and cost effectiveness analysis. A total 400 farming families were reviewed in this research that were reported to have benefitted from subsidized rainwater harvesting projects. For this research, 21 farmers and farms were surveyed and their cases were collected across the Potohar region. Findings of this research have revealed that, 60% of the surveyed farmers have higher understanding of climate change and they are willing to add value into their farming practice to increase their income, while 67% of farmers recognized that Potohar region has high potential for rainwater harvesting. Older dams had higher income and showed higher benefit cost ratio, on the other hand dams constructed during last two years have shown marginal to lower benefits. Overall economic benefits and effectiveness had established rainwater harvesting as suitable climate change adaptation option.

Previous studies have focused much attention on the adoption of technology products; however, research on the adoption of wearable devices for older people is sparse. This study applied the Senior Technology Acceptance Model (STAM) and investigated the factors influencing the acceptance of new technology by focusing on smart watch and bracelet adoption among the elderly. A case study method was adopted, and a group of fifteen older adults and fifteen younger participants (e.g. their children) were interviewed in Taiwan regarding their use of wearable devices. Several questions were raised: What factors influence the elderly in adopting wearable devices? What are the differences between the opinions and attitudes of the elderly and younger generations in the adaption of wearable devices? Based on the results, we concluded that the healthcare and alert functions are the main factors that enhance the use of wearable devices by the elderly. Also, besides their fashionable design and style, older people are more concerned about the practical and efficiency aspects of wearable devices. Finally, information is lacking for the elderly to learn about the advantages of using wearable devices. A revised STAM model considering these learning and culture issues is suggested.

In the new era, the fourth wave of science and technology of the new industrial revolution, with the core of intelligence and the technology of artificial intelligence and Internet of Things as its representative, is sweeping in. In this context, the construction of popular science culture in China is particularly important. Popular science culture is different from scientific culture. This paper interprets the core system of popular science culture from the perspective of Williams cultural theory. Based on Constructivism theory, this paper puts forward Chinese policies and development on the construction of popular science culture in the new era from four aspects: context, cooperation, conversation and significance. And this paper also further clarifies the important value of popular science culture.

The Micro, Small and Medium enterprises (MSMEs) today constitute a very important segment of the Indian economy. The growth of this sector came about largely due to the vision of Government policies framed right after Indian Independence. MSME sector has emerged as an energetic and vibrant sector of the economy. As per the fourth census of MSMEs report published in 2012, the total numbers of MSMEs in India are 36 million employing over 80 million people. It is the second largest employer after agriculture accounting for 72% services and 28% manufacturing jobs. It also accounts for 45 % of total industrial production, 40% of total exports and contributes very significantly to the GDP. Manufacturing segment within the MSME contributes to 7.09% of GDP. The benefits of MSMEs have created a special status and importance in the Five-Year Plans right from its inception. In recent years, the MSME sector has consistent higher growth rate compared to the overall industrial sector. Despite its commendable contribution to the country's economy, MSME Sector is not getting the required support and faces numerous dilemmas. This is a research paper which aims at developing a framework taking into account efficient demand marketing and innovation strategy performances. The paper also presents the results of the pilot study undertaken.

Innovation in the Internet of Things (IoT) provides various opportunities for large, medium, and small-sized companies; however, its realization is still challenging for these companies. Therefore, an engineering design methodology for IoT innovation is required, especially for non-information and communication technology experts. In this paper, we call the engineering design method for IoT innovation "IoT innovation design method," and discuss its requirements and perspectives with reference to previous studies. Then, this paper proposes a concrete IoT innovation design method with an example. This paper contributes to existing studies not only by proposing a new specific method but also by clarifying the general requirements and perspective (viewpoints) of IoT innovation design methods.

Although globalization provides opportunities for companies to expand their businesses, it brings more challenges to global project management. Collaboration in global research and development (R&D) projects requires competent individuals helping to improve project success. There are liaisons who we call R&D bridge managers (BMs). They facilitate research collaboration in global R&D projects between teams in the home country and the firm's foreign R&D teams. Success in BM role requires a set of competencies that related to this job. Competency development frameworks have proofed themselves to be an effective tool for human resource management. The frameworks identify skills, behaviors, and knowledge that are necessary to ensure job performance. The frameworks have three components: competency list, competency assessment, and competency development method. This study aims to propose a competency list for BMs. This competency list is one component of BM competency development framework (BMCDF). The competency list is constructed based on literature survey. It may help BMs to overcome difficulties and challenges in their job. The BMCDF could benefit both BMs to plan for their competency development and organizations to clarify expected job performance. This competency list will be used in the future as part of BMCDF for facilitating global R&D projects.
