The first stage (1999 ~ 2009) of regional strategic industry promotion project that shorten the difference between capital and non-capital region where regional economic situation has stagnated immediately after the foreign exchange crisis supported various packages such as building the regional reform center, equipment construction, regional technology development, manpower training etc. with huge budget of national expenditure 2,600 billion won for 10 years' support period targeted to regional strategic industry in non-capital region of 13 cities․province except capital region such as Seoul, Gyoenggi, Inchon etc. It caused a lot of effects to national economic growth contribution as well as enterprise's technological competitive power strengthening and regional economic activation thereby. In present, the second stage of regional industry development policy is propelled during 5 years from 2008 to 2012 fitting on the ?Regional development strategy by each provincial economic block? policy that strengthen the link between provincial areas rather than support of city․province unit region.
In this research, we targeted specially for 4 regional promotion projects, 9 regional promotion projects, infra (building the center, equipment construction) of regional reform industry infrastructure construction business, manpower training, technology development, enterprise support service that is the details of regional strategic industry promotion projects, and did the performance analysis with substantial time range from 1997 to 2007 due to the problem of analytical data.
The performance was analyzed dividing by the efficiency of accomplishment through supportive business and the effectiveness of growth contribution in each regional strategic industry and presented problems accordingly. The improvement plan was presented dividing by the business subject, foothold institution, regional enterprise, business management in whole business and macroscopic viewpoint about the second stage program that was propelling from 2008.
First, the foothold for regional industry structural reform and advancement was constructed by concentration support of infra (1,300 billion won, 51.3%) and technical development (920 billion won, 34.9%) field in the efficiency of accomplishment through supportive business and success story that technical development is connected to increasing sale appeared. Also, 24 regional specialization centers are constructed in 9 cities․province including Daejeon resulting in 406 employment effects and nearly 5,100 units with 2,800 kinds equipment construction, this improved enterprise competitive power because 5,000 enterprise can use this equipment and independence rate of center was increased every year.
The reversal effect of manufacturing industry growth rate happened between capital and non-capital region by the support of regional strategic industry promotion project from the effectiveness of growth contribution in each regional strategic industry.
While capital region becomes low every year in the added value growth rate or output growth rate per year, it appeared to rising in the non-capital region. In national growth contribution, regional strategic industry that was not more about 20% of whole manufacturing industry was contributing nearly 48% in the development of GDP and GDP growth contribution rate of supported regional strategic industry reached to 47.9% in 2005, and was analyzed increasing about 13 trillion 946 billion won in contrast to past year.
On the other hand, there were the problems like the regional specialization center construction was difficult to find synergy effects except evaluation results and utilization degree in the equipment construction appeared to low because lacking the network about equipment current condition and insufficient market survey at planning stage.
Supportive budget was detached into government contributions and municipal grants in budget items by each details business and trouble appeared in business operation & management because evaluation period between businesses consists of yearly and monthly unit, and case that must handle reduction among working expenses at business end year due to shortage of local expenses which local government should shares every year happened.
Preparation for feasibility analysis such as the absence of overall development strategic plan and budget reflection and examination of operation plan was insufficient in planning process, and perform the project that were to be less competitive because there is no relative and open evaluation in rating system. From management function, because there were no system reflecting the evaluation results and organization function that totally coordinate the business by each region was weak, so tier cooperation between propulsion subjects was difficult and suffered a lot of difficulties in business propulsion.
Finally, we suggest the improvement plans hoping that result is spread more because second stage business is propelled continuously on the basis of result and problem that appear in the first stage,
First, ?Responsibility and role strengthening by each propulsion subject? for cooperation network strengthening between the business lead organization and participation institution and close cooperation establishment construction between central and local government and,
Second, ?Foothold reform institution's function and role enlargement? that should make efforts for supportive business such as necessary equipment, technology, manpower to related enterprise through 300 supportive foothold institutions like regional specialization center and,
Third, ?Regional enterprise competitive power strengthening? for R&D planning ability strengthening of regional enterprise and enterprise-led reform network activation and R&D task achievement process efficiency promotion and,
Fourth, ?Business management systematization? for performance index development and database construction.
We could know through this research that there were a lot of contributions in direct result from infrastructures to manpower training to several types of business and non-capital region strategic industry growth and regional gross domestic product increase etc. as regional strategic industry promotion project end the first stage.
The government should not finalizing the ended first stage business as one single business but must prepare the system that can utilize result and performance appeared extensively so far through various analysis ways by research professional institution.
Regional industry․university․institution․government should construct the second stage business as cooperation system of region, industry, business, institution etc. of the economic block center from macroscopic viewpoint, and should establish the complete charge team which possess control tower function to gain substantial effect.
Also, we propose that supervising institution which take the charge of important role of business propulsion should executed comprehensively the market & field based activity so that the participation of regional enterprise may be expanded.
