ABSTRACT

This study examines the practices of preliminary feasibility study on national R&D programs with a focus on the application of policy analysis criteria. The Korean government introduced R&D pre-feasibility study to enhance fiscal efficiency in 2006 and the Korean large telescope development project was selected as the first case of R&D feasibility analysis. Project plans were assessed by three criteria: technical analysis, economic analysis and policy analysis. Overall evaluation on the results of the three criteria was made using the AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) technique. Each of the three criteria had priority values of 0.450, 0.217 and 0.333, respectively. The policy analysis had more priority than the economic analysis. However, it revealed problems in making decisions based on objective data and also in applying sub-criteria such as national priority, operational system and risk factors with consistency. A more empirical and structured approach is required to prevent discretionary application of the policy analysis.
