The purpose of this study is to explore the effect of creativity management factors on perceived R&D performance. To do this, the data (885cases) were collected from 19 Korean Government-supported Research Institutes, and 3 hypotheses derived from the model of creativity management(after here CM) were tested. Major findings are as follows: 1) CM constructs are grouped into diversity, autonomy, connectivity, redundancy and flexibility factors; 2) The major factors that can explain R&D performance perceived by scientists and engineers are connectivity, autonomy, diversity and flexibility; 3) All CM factors have significant relationship with satisfaction of the employees; 4) Flexibility and connectivity factors give effects on turnover intention of the members. This study has some limitations in model building and empirical testing. This study, however, provides theoretical and managerial implications about CM and R&D management, particularly Government-supported Research Institutes in Korea.

The Purpose of this study is to prove empirically the relationship between technology valuation and performance in Ventures, while considering the uniqueness of Korean firms. We use technology score, marketability score, business attractiveness score as ex-ante independent variables, use firm's performance(sales, asset, operating income ratio, net income ratio etc) as ex-post dependent variables. Parametric analysis such as Paired T-test, ANOVA are applied in this paper. The results of Empirical analysis is summarized as follows. Firstly, operating income ratio and net income ratio are different in portfolios classified by technology score. Secondly, the growth rate of operating income is different in portfolios classified by technology score. Finally, this study has shown that technology score has possibility which it use the predictive variables of firm performances.

Most of the existing studies on intellectual capital have focused on categorizing and measuring intellectual capital. In this study, the components of intellectual capital have been termed individual capital, organization capital, and relation capital, and the relations among these components as well their effects on other components have been examined. Thus, the indices of intellectual capital have been measured, hypotheses formed, and data collected from 62 knowledge-based companies. The results confirm some of the hypotheses. In all the companies that replied, individual capital was positively related to organization capital and organization capital was positively related to relation capital. The hypothesis that relation capital is positively related to performance, therefore, could be accepted. In the knowledge-based companies, the results were similar to the previous ones, but individual capital was not related to relation capital.

Knowledge Management is introduced by many big companies with the development of Information Technology. Although researches about the enabling conditions have been progressed, but there are few study of relationship between KM stages and enabling conditions, and performance. This study focus on the KM four activities and KMS(Knowledge Management System), which is on the Samsung SDS's KMS(they called ARISAM) and related with team performance. We are propose some points to the managerial implications.

Today, corporate knowledge plays a critical role in obtaining competitive advantage. It is often pointed out that corporate knowledge is expected to be able to support various efforts for process innovation. Accordingly, it is important to establish a systematic infrastructure for the acquisition of knowledge which can support business-critical tasks effectively. From this motivation, this paper proposes a framework to guide a series of acquisition procedures for task knowledge and shows how to intemperate with activities for an innovation purpose. Moreover, the useful components of task knowledge are proposed; the schema of the components is ultimately implemented as a repository in a system for the management of task knowledge. To demonstrate the practical usefulness of the framework and the schema components, a real-life case is illustrated.

The Russian theory of inventive problem solving method in Engineering, TRIZ is introduced to the non Engineering field these days. In this paper, the applications of TRIZ to creative knowledge management for knowledge creation are reviewed. This paper shows some examples on the systematic win-win problem solving in business environments using TRIZ methodology and comments the possibility of TRIZ in conceptual creative business innovation in future.
