To find ways to make the government’s cooperative research and development (R&D) support policy for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) more effective, we analyzed the characteristics of SMEs that prefer such support. Through decision tree and discriminant analysis of 3300 Korean SMEs, we derived rules to distinguish between groups that prefer cooperative R&D support and those that do not. Based on the results, the important influencing factors were found to be the time required for R&D planning, prior experience in cooperation, the availability of equipment, the ratio of self-procured R&D funding, the attempts at R&D and the firm’s level of performance. The results suggested that if the policy objective is to encourage more active involvement of SMEs in cooperative R&D support programs, it is desirable to attract SMEs with less cooperative experience and not to give too much weight to past achievements when selecting beneficiaries. Furthermore, we believe that policies offering supports in the R&D planning stage and the joint utilization of equipment could be solutions to reduce the practical difficulties experienced by SMEs related to cooperative R&D.

The method used is the active involvement of all group members through group learning techniques accompanied by mentoring and direct practice at all stages of the process. The output of this activity is an increase in group knowledge about the processing of dried squid, the creation of processed squid products with three levels of flavour, namely original, selow and hot issue and product socialisation. The long-term target of this activity is the Cumkring O500 product to become an icon of Olimoo’o Village, as expected by the government and society. Therefore, there needs to be a commitment from the group in cumkring processed innovation and group strengthening to create a sustainable production house, and develop it into Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) as a form of independence, equitable economic growth, and increasing community income.
