산업정책의 과제와 새로운 접근의 모색

유철규(Yoo Chul G) 고려대학교 아세아문제연구소 2007 亞細亞硏究 Vol.50 No.1

For the more than last two decades, along with central planning and trade protection, industrial policy is supposed to be dead especially in those countries that have adopted the orthodox economic reform. The traditional debates on industrial policy have been too much focused on its tools or forms like directed credit at specific sectors, control of the entry and exit of firms, export targets, sector-ally differenciated tariff, tax & subsidy rates, and R&D subsidies and so on. However, when the nature of industrial policy is considered that they counteracts the allocative and distributive effects that the markets would otherwise produce(as argued by the theory of comparative advantage), we can argue that, contrary to popular impressions, almost all countries in reality have used and keep using industrial policy. As soon as a government "consciously" or "intentionally" favors some economic activities over others, it is in fact conducting industrial policy. Under the globalization, the most prominent example of industrial policy that is eagerly allowed by the orthodox and the IMP is offering incentives favorably to exports and foreign investment. The only difference is that they do not use the term of industrial policy. The reality itself can be a strong justifi￢cation for industrial policy. Under the current capitalist market conditions, it cannot be presumed that the government has enough information ex ante for finding where the market failures calling for industrial policy exist or better information for industrial policy than the private sector. As a matter of facts, both of the government and the private sectors have imperfect knowledge and different information constrains. Not only the investment coordination among sectors but also informational coordination are still actual grounds for industrial policy. The recent challenges Korean economy is facing arise from its rapid internationalization and new demands for social policy. It may be a starting point for new industrial policy that the government and the private sectors share the information and constraints the other have while recognizing the relationship between their own objects based on the internationalization of business and the demands for social policy each.

일본의 지역산업정책 패러다임 변화 특성 : 클러스터정책에서 산업생태계정책으로

장후은,이종호 한국지역지리학회 2022 한국지역지리학회지 Vol.28 No.4

This study analyzes the characteristics of regional industrial policy paradigm shifts in Japan from the late 1990s, when the cluster policy was introduced in earnest, from the perspective of the policy process. In the late 1990s, Japan began promoting regional industrial policies to maintain and revitalize existing industrial clusters, and from the 2000s, it introduced cluster policies in earnest to pursue strengthening of regional endogenous development capabilities. However, with the change of the ruling party from the Liberal Democratic Party to the Democratic Party in 2009, great changes began to appear in the framework of regional industrial policy based on the cluster policy. As a result, the Regional Future Investment Act was enacted in 2017, and the focus of Japan's regional industrial policy changed, focusing on the ecosystem construction project centered on supporting regional core companies. From the late 1990s until now, the main characteristics of changes in regional industrial policy in Japan are summarized as follows. First, the focus of the policy has changed from the cluster policy centered on ‘regional industries’ to the industrial ecosystem policy centered on ‘regional companies’. Second, as the main body of the policy was transferred from the central government to the local government, the transition to the so-called region-led industrial policy began. Third, as the number of central government departments promoting regional industrial policies increases along with the trend of decentralization of regional industrial policies, linkage and cooperation between ministries are being emphasized. Fourth, the importance of cooperation between industry, academia, and research institutes is being emphasized as the role of universities is being emphasized as the target of regional industrial policy is centered on manufacturing companies. 본 연구는 클러스터정책이 본격적으로 도입된 1990년대 후반부터 지금까지 일본의 지역산업정책 패러다임 변화 특성을 정책과정의 관점에서 분석한 것이다. 1990년대 후반, 일본은 기존 산업집적지의 유지 및 활성화를 위해 지역산업정책을 추진하기 시작하였으며, 2000년대부터 본격적으로 클러스터정책을 도입하여 지역의 내생적 발전 역량 강화를 추구하였다. 그러나 2009년 자민당에서 민주당으로 집권당이 바뀌면서 클러스터정책에 기초한 지역산업정책의 틀에 커다란 변화가 나타나기 시작하였다. 그 결과, 2017년 지역미래투자법이 제정되고, 지역중핵기업 지원 중심의 생태계 구축 사업으로 일본의 지역산업정책의 초점이 변화하였다. 1990년대 후반부터 지금까지 일본의 지역산업정책의 주요한 변화 특성을 정리하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 정책의 초점이 ‘지역산업’ 중심의 클러스터정책에서 ‘지역기업’ 중심의 산업생태계정책으로 변화하였다. 둘째, 정책의 추진 주체가 중앙정부에서 지방정부 중심으로 이양됨으로써, 이른바 지역주도형 지역산업정책으로의 전환이 시작되었다. 셋째, 지역산업정책의 지방분권화 흐름과 함께, 지역산업정책을 추진하는 중앙정부 부처가 늘어나면서 부처 간 연계・협력이 강조되고 있다. 넷째, 지역산업정책의 대상이 제조업 기업 중심에서 대학 등의 역할이 강조됨에 따라 산학연협력의 중요성이 강조되고 있다.

光武改革期 近代産業育成政策의 내용과 성격

吳鎭錫(Oh Jin-Seok) 역사학회 2007 역사학보 Vol.0 No.193

This paper examines the contents and characteristics of the modem industrial promotion policy of the Greater Han Empire enacted from the period of King Kojong's retreat to the Russian legation to the Russo-Japanese War. Previous scholarship has viewed the industrial policy as the product of uninterested or uninvolved officials. However, this study identifies two political groups, Enlightenment Party officials and a group of pro-imperial officials centered on Yi Yong-ik, who were pushing the industrial policy forward. Consequently, changes in the political situation were reflected in the overall direction of the industrial policy. At the outset of the Greater Han Empire, the pro-American faction was in charge of the industrial policy. However, their basic economic policy closely resembled the industrial promotion policy of the Kabo reform cabinet, which emphasized industrial development and company formation based on private capital rather than government-led industrial development. In the period of their leadership, industrial policy pushed the rapid formation of private companies centered on members of the Independence dub [Tongnip hy?phoe]. However, the policy led by the Enlightenment Party officials did not last long. After the establishment of the Greater Han Empire, the Independence Club was eliminated amidst the power struggles between Enlightenment Party and pro-imperial officials, and control of the industrial policy passed into the hands of the pro-imperial officials. In particular, Yi Yong-ik, by arranging the appointments of the Naejangw?ngy?ng [Minister of the Interior], Ch?nhwangukjang [Director of the Mint], and the T'akjibuhy?pp'an [Vice Minister of the Finance Department] as well as the Acting Minister, took control of government finances in tandem with the imperial court and provided support for modem industrial development. Yi Yong-ik thus became the key figure behind the modem industrial development policy pushed by the Household Department within the imperial court. He expanded new modem industrial developments such as the Hwangsil yurich'ang [Imperial Glass Factory], Chagijejoch'ang [Porcelain Factory], Py?ngyang t'an'gwang [Py?nyang Coal Mine], and the S?buk ch?ldoguk [Northwest Railroad Bureau], alongside such existing government factories as the Kigyech'ang [Arms Factory] and the Chikjoch'ang [Weaving Factory]. Nevertheless, the modem industrial development activity pushed by Yi Yong-ik did not produce any particular results and came to an end with the Russo-Japanese War. The Japanese paid large amounts of compensation to the foreign technicians working at the various government-owned factories and terminated their employment. Some of the government factories were completely eliminated as they became bases for the Japanese military. The modem industrial development policy of Yi Yong-ik did not succeed because of the lack of sufficient time from its inception in 1901~1902 to produce Significant results and because of internal political opposition within the government. Financial support for the policy eventually came from the issuance of nickel coins, but opposition arose as a result of the attendant inflation and sudden changes in the exchange rate. The pursuit of currency reform and the establishment of a central bank were intended to solve these issues, but the Russo-Japanese War negated such efforts.

지방정부 산업단지 정책집행 과정에 관한 연구 - 임실·오수 제2농공단지 조성사업 비교를 중심으로 -

정일범,조승현 한국자치행정학회 2023 한국자치행정학보 Vol.37 No.3

산업단지는 국가 경제의 중추적인 역할을 수행하고 있다. 이 연구의 목적은 임실 제2농공단지조성과 오수 제2농공단지조성 정책을 정책집행 과정 면에서 살펴보고 이를 통해 정책성과에 영향을 주는 변수들을 파악해서 향후 산업단지 정책집행의 성과를 높이는 학문적·정책적 시사점을 제공해 주는 데 있다. 이 연구는 Alexander와 Van Meter & Van Horn의 정책집행변수를 재구성해 활용했는데 1차 변수로 3개, 2차 변수로 6개, 3차 변수로는 12가지를 설정하여 분석하였다. 지방정부 산업단지 정책집행 과정에 관한 분석 결과 오수 제2농공단지는 임실 제2농공단지에 비해 자원의 이용 가능성, 조직 특성과 예산 집행 률, 담당자의 적극성과 집행자의 반응, 행정절차이행 부분에서 성과가 높았다. 지방재정투자심사 부분에서는 오수가 임실에 비해서 성과가 낮았다. 오수는 자원의 이용 가능성에서 오수 견 설화를 바탕으로 지역의 특성이 반영된 특화된 농공단지 조성이 이루어졌다고 볼 수 있다. 지방재정투자심사에서 성과가 낮은 것은 자주 사업 변경을 하면서 계획을 체계적으로 수립하지 못했기 때문에 투자심사를 통과하지 못해 4년여 동안 사업이 지연되었다. 여기서 주목할 점은 정책집행자의 성향에서 두드러진 차이점이 드러났다는 것이다. 조직 인원이 6명에서 4명으로 줄었음에도 경험 있는 담당자의 적극성으로 인해서 정책집행의 성과가 높았다는 점이다. 이 연구의 학문적 시사점은 정책집행에 영향을 미치는 요인으로 환경·맥락적 측면을 고려하고 집행자의 성향 등을 중요한 변수로 고려하여 연구의 타당성을 높일 수 있다는 것이다. 정책적 시사점은 환경·맥락변수 측면에서는 자원의 이용 가능성을 고려한 정책집행을 해야 하고 처음부터 사업계획을 잘 세워서 사업계획 변경을 최소화하는 노력을 해야 한다는 점이다. 집행조직변수 측면에서의 시사점은 대규모 사업과 보상업무 경험이 있는 직원을 배치하고, 예산편성 단계부터 연내 집행 가능성을 고려해 가능한 범위 내에서 예산을 편성해야 한다는 것이다. 산업단지 토지 보상협의 시 공무원의 ‘사업추진 계획수립’과 ‘찾아가는 보상협의 서비스 구축’이 필요하며 산업단지 편입대상자에 대한 배려가 있어야 한다는 것이다. 공무원의 적극행정을 독려할 인센티브 관련 지침을 강화하는 것이 필요하다는 것이다. 정책내용변수측면에서의 시사점은 산업단지 정책집행을 할 수 있는 로드맵을 작성하고 문화재 정밀 발굴과정에서 신속한 사업 처리를 위해, 문화재 무연고 분묘 개장공고 절차를 간소화해야 한다는 것이다. Industrial complexes play a pivotal role in the national economy. The purpose of this study is to provide academic and policy implications for enhancing the performance of industrial complex policies in the future by examining the policy execution process of Imsil 2nd Agricultural Industrial Complex and Osu 2nd Agricultural Industrial Complex. This study is a qualitative study, a multi-case study and a comparative study. In order to conduct comparative research, this study was discussed by adding academic research literature and statistical data such as prior research papers, academic conference presentation data, internal statistical data of local governments, and policy reports, as well as interviews with public officials and officials. Alexander and Van Meter & Van Horn's policy execution variables were reconstructed and used, and three primary variables, six secondary variables, and 12 tertiary variables were set and analyzed. As a result of the analysis of the policy implementation process of local government industrial complexes, the second agricultural and industrial complex in Osu showed higher results in resource availability, organizational characteristics and budget execution rates, activeness and executive response, and administrative procedures. In the area of local financial investment screening, Osu performed lower than wage and loss. In terms of the availability of resources, it can be seen that a specialized agricultural and industrial complex reflecting the characteristics of the region was created based on the legend of the Osu dog. The low performance in the local financial investment review was delayed for more than four years because the plan could not be systematically established due to frequent business changes. What is noteworthy here is that there was a noticeable difference in the propensity of policy executors. Even though the number of people in the organization was reduced from six to four, the performance of policy execution was high due to the activeness of experienced managers. The academic implications of this study are that environmental and contextual aspects are considered as factors influencing Alexander's policy execution, and the propensity of enforcers is considered as important variables, giving important significance to the analysis of local government industrial complex location policies. In addition, a top-down policy execution approach is easy to analyze the policy execution process, and the validity of the study can be increased by analyzing environmental and context variables or the propensity of enforcers in the analysis of the policy execution process. The analysis frame and analysis criteria for the analysis of the policy execution process of local government industrial complexes are presented, and variables that affect policy execution are diverse, and variables are organically connected between variables, and variables affect policy execution at the same time. The policy implication is that in terms of <environment and context variables>, policy implementation should be made in consideration of the availability of resources, and efforts should be made to minimize changes in the business plan by establishing a good business plan from the beginning. The implication in terms of <executive organizational variables> is that employees with experience in large-scale projects and compensation work should be deployed, and the budget should be drawn up to the extent possible, considering the possibility of execution within this year from the budgeting stage. When consulting on land compensation for industrial complexes, public officials need to "establish a business promotion plan" and "establish visiting compensation consultation services," and there should be consideration for those eligible for incorporation into the industrial complex. It is necessary to strengthen guidelines related to incentives to encourage active administration of public officials. The implication in ...

Is an Industrial Policy Possible in China? - The Case of the Automobile Industry

Jong-Hak Eun,Keun Lee 서울대학교 국제학연구소 2002 Journal of International and Area Studies Vol.9 No.2

  This paper first defines industrial policy as ‘entry control’ and ‘capacity reorganization’, and then evaluates the effectiveness of industrial policy in the automobile sector in China. It argues that the industrial policies declared in ‘87 and ’94 in China were not implemented successfully enough to control new entries nor to reorganize capacity among the incumbent companies. Consequently, the industrial organization of the automobile sector was highly fragmented.<BR>  Concerning the cause of entry control failure, this paper examines the incentive structure of Chinese local governments that exercised de facto property rights over the companies in their jurisdiction throughout the reform period. It shows that local governments have strong incentives to ward off the central government"s entry control, and that local governments were strong enough to resist the center’s order, backed up by their fiscal and administrative capacity. To explain the causes of capacity reorganization failure, this paper looks at the cases of the First Auto Works group’s M&A’s, and argues that these M&A’s did not lead to effective capacity reorganization within the group.<BR>  The paper concludes that industrial policy has failed in China, and that the central government finds it difficult to conduct effective industrial policy given the strength of local governments. The recent and future development of the Chinese automobile industry seems to be driven by market forces rather than by discretionary industrial policy.

이대식 한국디지털정책학회 2019 디지털융복합연구 Vol.17 No.6

This study analyzes the current status and performance of regional industrial policy in the face of the weakening industrial competitiveness under the global trend of the 4th industrial revolution and suggests the policy direction that regional industrial policy as a new national growth strategy. This study focuses on the suggestion of new regional industrial policy framework under new policy environment based on literature review. We propose a new industrial policy framework that simultaneously pursues equality between regions and efficiency within the region at the same time. As a core policy recommendation, we suggest first, establishing the region-centered industrial policy governance, second, strengthening planning function of local government through human resource development and institutionalized national government consulting, and the third, constructing lifestyle industry-ecosystem based on cultural asset and identity of region, fourth, utilizing Smart City, as a platform for participatory innovation, entrepreneurial and capital attraction, and cultivating new industry based on public procurement and data. Main suggestions of this study would be a new guideline coping with the declining industrial competitiveness and the Fouth Industrial Revolution. Details would be necessary.

부시 행정부 이후 미국의 산업보안정책과 우리의 대응전략

정웅 ( Woong Chung ) 대한정치학회 2015 大韓政治學會報 Vol.23 No.2

본 연구는 국내 산업발전으로부터 야기되는 산업기술 해외 불법유출 방지책에 대한 필요성을 제기하면서, 부시 행정부 이후 최근 오바마 행정부에 이르는 미국 산업보안 정책에 대한 분석을 바탕으로 이들이 우리의 산업기술 해외 불법유출 대응전략에 주는 함의를 도출하고자 하였다. 부시 행정부는 자국의 생존과 번영에 핵심이 되는 국가 기밀, 자산, 산업기술의 보호를 위해 2005년부터 이른바 국가방첩전략이라는 큰 틀 아 래서 전략적 산업보안 정책을 추진하였으며, 이러한 정책 기조는 최근 오바마 행정부 에서 들어서 산업기술 침해방지 전략(2013)으로 더욱 강화되고 있다. 산업보안의 정책 성과 모형에서 주요 정책 목표는 산업기술 불법유출 위험의 최소화와 이를 구현해내기 위한 보안비용의 최소화를 달성하는 것이다. 이러한 산업보안의 정책목표는 미국의 전략적 산업보안이라는 정책에서도 찾아 볼 수 있다. 따라서 미 행정부의 정책 사례가 우리의 대응전략에 주는 함의를 모색해 본다면, 첫째, 우리의 산업보안 역시 소위 “전 략적 산업보안”이라는 정책으로 보다 구체화되어야 한다. 둘째, 중국으로부터의 산업 기술 침해 활동에 대한 진지한 인식과 함께 침해 방지를 위한 적극적ㆍ실천적인 대응이 이루어져야 한다. 셋째, 중국에 대한 산업보안 자원의 전략적 배치와 운용을 통해 저손실ㆍ저비용의 바람직한 정책목표에 도달해야 한다. As pointing out overseas illegal leakage risk of industrial technologies with a great development of the South Korea industry, this study is to grope for the national strategy through the analysis of the U.S. industrial security policy since the Bush administration. The Bush administration, in order to protect the national secrets, assets and advanced technologies as the core for the existence and prosperity of the United States, has produced and propelled the strategic industrial security policy under the national policy frame, what is called the National Counterintelligence Strategy from 2005. Recently such a policy keynote has been further strengthened as “Administration Strategy on Mitigating the Theft of U.S. Trade Secrets” of the Obama Administration in 2013. In the industrial security policy performance model, that is a scheme of matrix of risk and cost minimization, the policy targets are the illegal leakage risk minimization and the industrial security cost minimization. The policy goals can be found in the strategic industrial security originated from the National Counterintelligence Strategy. Accordingly, through some implications from the policy cases of Bush and Obama Administrations, in the first place the South Korea government should concretely build up the industrial security as a strategic industrial security policy. In the next place the Korean government has to take the active actions, with the serious perception against the theft of the intellectual property and advanced technologies by China. In the last place, unfolding the strategic deployment and operation of industrial security resources, the government must come up to the desirable policy targets of low loss and cost in the industrial security.

일본의 경제안보정책과 일본형 산업정책의 유산

이정환 서울대학교 국제학연구소 2024 국제지역연구 Vol.33 No.1

일본의 경제안보정책은 미중경쟁과 중첩된 전세계적 경제의 안보화에 대한 일본의 전략적 대응으로, 글로벌 추세가 된 신산업정책의 맥락 속에서 이해될 수 있다. 하지만, 최근 일본의 경제안보정책은 정부의 적극적 시장 개입으로 국가적 산업경쟁력을 증진 하려 했던 전후 일본의 발전국가 모델과 연결되어 논의되기도 한다. 본 연구는 최근 일 본의 경제안보정책을 일본 산업정책의 통시적 변천 속에서 위치 지워 분석하고 있다. 일본의 경제안보정책은 2022년에 입법화한 경제안보추진법의 세부 내용인 특정중요물 자 안정공급 지원사업과 특정중요기술 연구개발 지원사업을 양대 축으로 하여 2023년 에 집행되기 시작했다. 일본 경제안보정책의 핵심 기조와 세부적 정책 내용을 살펴보 면, 1980년 <1980년대 통산정책 비전> 문서 이래로 사라졌던 추격형 모델이 특정중요 물자 안정공급 지원사업에서 부분적으로 재등장하였다는 점이 특징적이다. 그러나, 추 격형 모델은 경제안보정책 전반에 있어서 중심적인 것은 아니다. 특정중요기술 육성개 발 지원사업에서는 1980년대 이래로 일본의 산업기술정책에서 지속되던 선도적 기술혁 신 창조 모델과 이를 위한 기술혁신 산관학 생태계 구축 방법론이 주로 발견된다. 추격 형 모델의 부활로 일본의 경제안보정책을 규정짓는 것은 현재 진행 중인 경제안보정책 을 과도하게 단순화해서 이해하는 것이면서 동시에 일본 산업정책의 역사적 변천을 획 일화하는 것이기도 하다. Japan’s economic security policy can be understood in the context of the New Industrial Policy, which has become a global trend, overlapping with U.S.-China competition. However, recent Japanese economic security policies are often discussed in relation to the postwar Japanese developmental state model, which sought to promote national industrial competitiveness through active government intervention. This study analyzes Japan's recent economic security policy by situating it in the context of changes in Japanese industrial policy. Japan's economic security policy began to be implemented in 2023 after the Economic Security Promotion Act was enacted in 2022. It has two main pillars: ‘Promotion for Ensuring Stable Supply of Key Products’ and ‘Promotion for Enhancing Development of Advanced Critical Technologies.’ ‘Promotion for Ensuring Stable Supply of Key Products’ is partially characterized by the reemergence of the catch-up vision, which had been absent since the 1980s. However, the other pillar of the Economic Security Promotion Act, ‘Promotion for Enhancing Development of Advanced Critical Technologies,’ is not based on a catch-up vision. In the ‘Key and Advanced Technology R&D through Cross-Community Collaboration Program,’ the idea of creating leading technological innovations and the methodology of building a technological innovation industry ecosystem for this purpose have mainly been found in industrial technology policy since the 1980s. To characterize Japan's economic security policy as a revival of the catch-up type is an oversimplification of the ongoing economic security policy and a homogenization of the historical evolution of Japanese industrial policy.

정책연구 : 중소기업 경쟁력 강화를 위한 지원정책의 기업성장단계별 차별화 방안

경종수 ( Jong Soo Kyung ),이보형 ( Bo Hyung Lee ) 한국중소기업학회 2010 中小企業硏究 Vol.32 No.4

중소기업의 경쟁력이 국가의 미래와 산업경쟁력에 직결된다는 인식을 바탕으로 많은 국가들은 직간접적인 지원정책을 통해 중소기업의 성장을 도모하고 있다. 그 동안 정부는 중소기업의 경쟁력 강화를 위한 다양한 지원정책을 전개하여 왔으나, 산업별, 기술별, 지역별, 기업성장단계별 다양한 수요를 반영하여 보다 효율적인 기업지원정책에 대한 접근이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 성장단계별 혁신역량의 차이를 바탕으로 혁신역량 개선요소와 정책방향을 도출하고, 성장단계별 지원정책의 기업수요를 바탕으로 차별적 정책방안을 제안하고자 한다. 연구목적을 달성하기 위해 243개 기업을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였으며, 주요 분석결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 기업의 혁신역량에 대해 비교분석한 결과 성장단계별로 관계자산, 기업문화, 기술개발 부문에서 성장단계별 혁신역량은 유의한 차이가 있었다. 둘째, 지원정책에 대한 기업의 수요수준을 비교분석한 결과 성장단계별로 기술개발지원, 마케팅지원, 정보교류지원에 있어 기업수요는 유의한 차이가 있었다. 결과적으로 성장단계별로 혁신역량의 차이를 파악하여 중소기업 경쟁력 강화를 위한 혁신역량 개선요소들을 도출할 수 있었다. 그리고 기업성장단계별로 지원정책에 대한 수요수준의 차이가 있으므로 우리는 중소기업 지원정책의 성장단계별 차별화 방안을 제안하였다. 이러한 연구결과를 토대로, 정부가 산업현장의 기업수요에 대응한 맞춤형 정책을 발굴함으로써 중소기업 지원정책의 효율성이 높아지길 기대한다. 중소기업 관련 정책은 직접적인 수요자인 중소기업의 접근성과 효율성을 극대화하는 측면에서 방향이 재정립되어야 하며, 산업별, 기업성장단계 및 규모별, 단기 및 중장기 정책의 조화로운 정책포트폴리오를 갖춰야 한다. Many countries are aware of the importance of SMEs (Small-Medium Enterprises) competency in terms of their long-term competitiveness. The government has been directly or indirectly supporting their growth, which is reflected through demands from the industrial level, technologic level and regional level. In order to foster the more strong SMEs, many countries deploy various political efforts. Especially, enhancing the competitiveness of SMEs has been recognized as a driving force in the national economy and industrial growth. The policy for SMEs under the process of globalization focuses on enhancing their competitiveness. This policy must support ways to improve competency of the SMEs in a fast-paced environment. The Korean government has also been deploying various support policies for SMEs for many years. On the supply side, the government has been deploying various business policies for SMEs, but SMEs are perceived to lack in-formation about the business support policy. Therefore government authorities should develop a more effective policy approach by responding to their demands. SMEs support policies are important in terms of job creation and enhancing industrial competitiveness, as well as a promoting a high proportion of SMEs within an industrial structure. A high proportion of me-dium-sized enterprises in the national economy is essential for progress to a sophisticated industrial structure. At the national level, it is very important for small, medium, and large companies to form an evenly com-posed, interconnected industrial integration. The growth patterns of companies have important implications for industrial growth. As a small company grows into a medium-size company, a medium-sized company grows into a large company. The political effort to strengthen the competitiveness of SMEs is required. Business policy should be fo-cused on needs of industrial field rather than the supply side. The business policy must excavate by the multi-dimensional analysis in terms of industry, technology (an initial technical, commercial technology), region (strategic industry, traditional industry) and firm characteristics (stage of growth, firm size, etc.). According to previous research, the growth factor in the each growth stage is different according to the characteristics of the company, technology innovation strategy, resources, and management factors. The per-formance of innovative activities will be created through company competency (R&D, sales and marketing). Because these innovative activities will be created by the company resources and corporate culture, they de-pend on each growth stage. Based on previous research and these research objectives, we set up hypotheses as follows: Hypothesis 1: The innovation competency of SMEs will be different by growth stages. The government has been deploying various business policies for SMEs. But, because the management sit-uation of SMEs is different, their policy demands will be different. SMEs need a different strategy for solving each problem, so the SMEs business policy demands will be different. Hypothesis 2: The demand of business policy in each growth stage will be different. In this study, we have tried to find the policy direction to improve innovation competency in the growth stage of SMEs. We suggested discriminatory approach methods about the business support policy by growth stages. To achieve the objectives of this research, we surveyed and analyzed by statistic methods companies in the Chungnam area. Based on this research purpose, we surveyed 243 companies in Chungnam area. The target companies for survey participated in this program in order to foster local industry in the Chungnam area. We sent the ques-tionnaires and welcomed any request for help. We received their responses bye-mail or fax. By cooperating with related organizations, we made a list of 280 companies from the target group. Then we gathered the re-sponses from 250 companies. The rate of response was 88.66%. The empirical analysis of growth stages fol-lowed the two-step process for grouping and identification of stages and difference between the groups. In the first step we grouped the sample group by variables of selected growth stage. In the second step, we used the analysis of variance (ANOV A) in order to find the difference of innovation competency and the demand of business policy among growth stages. The main analysis results are as follows. First, by comparing the innovation competencies with growth stages, we found significant differences in relationship assets, corporate culture, and research and development. Secondly, by comparing the demand level for business support policies with growth stages, we found significant differences in research and development, marketing, and exchange of information. The detailed results by growth stages are as follows: First, in the product development stage after start-up (Stage 1), innovation competency is lower in the R&D sector and asset of relationship. So a support program to improve competency is necessary. In this stage, the level of policy demand about R&D, marketing, and information exchange was higher than in other stages. Second, in the initial production and marketing stage (Stage 2), the innovation competency about corporate culture was lower than other stages. The policy de-mands about R&D and information exchange was lower than other stages. Third, to ensure a stable market stage (Stage 3), the innovation competency on asset of relationships was higher than other stages. There is no uniqueness of the relative difference between the policy demands. Fourth, in the expansion of market for subsequent product development (Stage 4), the innovation competency in R&D was higher than other stages. The policy demands on marketing and information exchange were higher than other stages. As a result, the corporate resources and capabilities are lacking in the early stages of growth. The support for various types of policies should be pursued. In the mature stage, SMEs had increased their R&D capabilities and the marketing demand was relatively high. The exchange of information is high in the early and maturity stage. As a result, we were able to identify the differences and improvement elements on innovation competency of SMEs by growth stages. Consequently, we proposed the necessity of differentiating policies by growth stages of SMEs, because there are different business support policy demands by growth stages of SMEs. Based on the results of these studies, we expect to increase the efficiency of business support policy, by finding customized policies with the industry demand.
