Journal of Open Innovation: Technology, Market, and Complexity Article Comparing National Innovation System among the USA, Japan, and Finland to Improve Korean Deliberation Organization for National Science and Technology Policy Daekook Kang 1, Wooseok Jang 2, Yoonjo Kim 3 and Jeonghwan Jeon 4,* 1 Department of Industrial and Management Engineering, Inje University, Gimhae 50834, Korea; [email protected] 2 Division of Data Analysis, R&D Investment Analysis Center, Seoul 08826, Korea; [email protected] 3 Nuclear Safety and Security Commission, Seoul 03154, Korea; [email protected] 4 Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering/ERI, Gyeongsang National University, Jinju 52828, Korea * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 7 August 2019; Accepted: 1 October 2019; Published: 9 October 2019 Abstract: As the Korean government expands the budget for national research and development, the need for an institute that deliberates, coordinates, and operates research development and its budget has increased. In response to these demands, the National Science and Technology Council (NSTC) was recently established. However, to achieve a creative economy, which is the economic system where value is based on novel imaginative qualities rather than the traditional resources of land, labor, and capital, more eﬃciently, fundamental research regarding the current state of the Korean national administration system of science and technology in Korea is required. Accordingly, this study ﬁrst analyzes the function and organizational structure of the NSTC in Korea. Second, it investigates the current state of the NSTC in other countries. Finally, the study derives several implications for improving NSTC operation based on the benchmarking study and suggests an operational improvement plan for NSTC with respect to enhancement of function, operation of organization, human resource management, and improvement of the relationships between other departments.
