## 5 Discussion  
As shown in this paper, the 4 th industrial revolution is presenting a huge challenge as well as an opportunity to different levels of organizations including research institutions [29; 30]. This paper, noting the salience, tried to capture the changing momentum of the 25 public research institutions in South Korea. In doing so, for going beyond the already existing performance measures, this study utilized the AHP expert survey to plot organizational performance and used organizational analysis to find inflows and outflows of manpower in the institutions. \begin{table}

Table 7: Index of research institutions. Figure 2: Fitness relationship between research institutions and the research topic of the 4 th industrial revolution. This study found several key elements that are applicable to other countries too. First, independent to the research institutions' scientific and technological capabilities at the current period, the organizations can be transformed by just changing their manpower structure, as if a machine undergoes a major refit. This study suggests that there should be a non-conventional recruitment process in the future following the \"I\" shape organization structure. Knowing the characteristic of the 4 th industrial revolution which emphasizes connectiveness with information technology, countries that are aiming, by certain degrees, at reconfiguration of research institutions, whether they are public or private in their origin, may find similar problem definitions and solutions that have been described in this research. In addition, many analytical tools seem to rearrange those institutions, which this research tried to overcome by using expert level AHP analysis. Second, through the QFD analysis of matching, the study found that research topics related to the 4 th industrial revolution can be unevenly distributed among institutions, while most of them can still contribute to the analysis. This implies that the 4 th industrial revolution, due to its nature, predesignates the kind of institutions that can function as integration control towers. In other words, research on the 4 th industrial revolution can be carried out by establishing a key institution, which will lead a group of participating research institutions. For example, in an autonomous vehicle case, it would be reasonable to find that either an IT area institution or a machine-based institution takes the leading role as a control tower, while other participating institutions follow the lead.
