II. Targets and Methods – Targets and Characteristiscs
Targets
○ 90 Critical Technologies in the 2nd S&T Basic Plan('08~'12) (364 detail technologies)
Characteristics
○ use both qualitative and quantitative method to secure evaluation result ○ analysis of quality and quantity of the related papers and patents ○ introduce Delphi method on the survey ○ introduce dynamic method to evaluate technology level ○ survey from industry, academy and research institutes
II. Targets and Methods – Process and contents Research on the S&T Trends ○ Trends on the industry, technology ○ Comparison of S&T competitiveness
Analysis on the publications
○ analysis on activity, citation of the related papers and patents
Delphi survey
○ preliminary survey to manage the survey ○ 1st survey on the tech level, time required and realization time ○ 2nd survey after informing on the 1st survey result
In-depth Interview
○ interview on the role of the government and proper policy to secure the related technology
II. Targets and Methods - items Evaluation Items
○ Technology level and time required for R&D Present and 5 years later Korea, USA, Japan, China, EU ○ Characteristics of the core technologies ○ major contribution factor for the acquisition of the tech level ○ method for the secure the core technology ○ obstruction for the R&D ○ investment direction, role sharing and R&D policy, etc.

II. Targets and Methods – Evaluation example Technology Growth Model
○ S-shaped technology growth process Introduction → Growth → Expansion → Maturity → Decline ○ evaluate tech level(%) compared with upper limit(theoretical limit=100%) Tech level ○ evaluate time required for R&D by year Upper limit
Tech Time Gap
Tech level(USA) (65%)
USA Time required to reach the upper limit in USA(year)
Tech Level Difference
Tech level(Korea) (30%)
Kor Time required to reach the upper limit in Korea(year)

Pearl equation • To predict population growth • Logistic function • Symmetric
L y= −bt (1 + ae ) y: level L: limit a: position b: decline

Gompertz equation • Developed by Benjamin Gompertz • Not symmetric
y = Le

Pearl vs Gompertz • Which is proper model? • It depends on the characteristics and dynamics of the technology, not on the fitness with data. • Consider the purpose of the model is to predict future development. function Pearl Gompertz
characteristics Technology development velocity depends on the current level(y) and remaining level(L-y) Technology development velocity depends on the remaining level (L-y) for y>L/2 12
