The demand for efficient utilization of input resources and productive outcomes is increasing as the government’s R&D investments in Government-funded research institutes (GRIs) expand. These changes call for improving research-planning activities, which are defined as a set of activities wherein objectives are established, strategies for acquisition and expenditures of research resources are devised, and utilizations of research outcomes are addressed. This study introduces the integrated 4P analysis model that identifies the relationships among patents, papers, products, and projects. It looks into 4P analysis structure and its efficiency as a research planning means through case studies of the Korea Research Institute of Chemical Technology. This study introduces 4P analysis applied to KRICT, which can be utilized for outcome-oriented research planning of GRIs. At the same time, it investigates into the benefits and implications of 4P analysis. It proffers policy suggestions on such aspects as how research planning of GRIs should go through changes in a strategic and systematic way.
