In the digital age, innovation is at the heart of information technology development. This paper explores the differences of regional innovation capabilities from within the innovation system from a new perspective. By applying the coupling coordination degree model, the coupling coordination degree analysis is conducted for the three systems of innovation (innovation input, innovation output, and innovation environment) in 31 provinces, municipalities, and autonomous regions of China. The results show that: the overall level of coupling coordination degree in China is low, and the number of provinces in good coordination and quality coordination is low number, but they are all distributed in the eastern economically developed regions, showing a high correlation between regional innovation and regional economic development. The overall trend of China's innovation coordination is on the rise. The research results of this paper can provide a new perspective for the evaluation of innovation capability, and also provide an important impact of innovation on promoting the development of ICT industry.

This study was important considering the prevalence of small business owners in the Korean economy and the challenges they faced amidst an economic downturn. The business performance of these owners was crucial for their survival. Thus, an empirical analysis was conducted to identify factors influencing their management performance. The analysis included personal characteristics of small business owners such as innovativeness, management capability, need for achievement, and technical capability as independent variables, along with product differentiation factors. Additionally, the moderating effect of social capital on these variables and their impact on management performance was tested. To achieve this, a survey targeting small business owners across Korea was conducted, and data from 250 respondents were utilized. Hierarchical regression analysis using SPSS 24.0 was employed for the empirical analysis. The results indicated that management capability, need for achievement, and product differentiation significantly positively impacted business performance. However, the impact of innovativeness and technical capability was not tested. The influence of the variables on business performance ranked as follows: product differentiation, management capability, and need for achievement. The moderating effect of social capital was significant in the relationship between management capability, need for achievement, and management performance, enhancing these relationships. However, the moderating effect of social capital on the relationship between innovativeness, technical capability, product differentiation, and management performance was not tested. These findings underscored the importance of management capability, need for achievement, and product differentiation as key factors affecting the management performance of Korean small businesses. This study was significant as it provided insights into improving the management performance of small business owners in challenging economic conditions by highlighting how the influence of these factors varied depending on the social capital possessed by the owners.

With rapidly changing technological implementation of operating systems of businesses, the Ministry of foreign affairs (MOFA) of the Republic of Korea (ROK) has been undergoing digital transformation to its overall operations with the intent to innovate information and knowledge management (IKM) strategies since the mid-2000s. However, assessment as to the effectiveness of implemented IKM has been inadequately analyzed. This study aims to assess the concepts and limitations of the MOFA's current IKM strategies and the methods it employs to deliver its IKM framework, in light of strengthening the organizational ambidexterity and absorptive capacity, and also fostering organizational innovation through a qualitative study that involves interviews and analysis of reports from MOFA. The MOFA's IKM possesses dynamic capabilities to adapt to changing digital technologies. However, the institution's IKM is constrained by limitations associated with the utilization of the IKM system such as a structure that handles confidential documents and a lack of a collaborative system for IKM, and external limitations such as changes in the domestic political situation governing MOFA's priorities and the hierarchy of government organizations. Consequently, developing the organizational ambidexterity and absorptive capacity was not possible. To develop an IKM framework for organizational innovation, the MOFA must devise a way to minimize the impact of external changes by overcoming internal limitations. To that end, a detailed study on the development of a practically usable IKM system should include establishing a dialogue between job groups and enhancing employee competency in preparation for a changing environment.

The Innovation Procurement Policy was introduced as part of the strategic public procurement policy to improve firms' innovation capabilities and enhance the public sector's ability to solve social problems by designating and purchasing so-called 'innovative products.' The pilot procurement project for innovative products was first introduced in 2019, and the policy system for designating and discovering innovative products by government departments, as well as the priority purchase system, was established in 2020. Hence, this study conducted a quantitative analysis focusing on the effectiveness of the innovation procurement system in supporting firms after it was fully implemented. For this purpose, corporate financial and employment data from 2017 to 2021 were used, and propensity score matching(PSM) and difference-in-difference(DID) methods were utilized as analytical tools. The study found that the innovation procurement system contributed to corporate growth and employment and created additional public and private sales channels. Moreover, it is necessary to enhance the innovation procurement system, such as matching innovative product-producing companies with existing SME support policies, for companies to become self-sustaining after the innovative product designation ends.

There are some questions about the way to monitoring the regional innovative activities in a specific field because of decision-making for raising regional specialized industry. Numerous studies have been conducted in the past using patent statistics to explain and compare the innovative capabilities of districts, regions and countries. The prior method of calculating the regional distribution of patent counts is to assign the patents to districts by assignee's address, which was not proper, in the case of larger firms's headquarters, holdings or subsidiaries, to mislead in geographical terms. So the regional distribution of patent was counted for a specific technology area, electric device field(H01 IPC classification), by inventors' residential addresses. Then the interregional structure was investigated by analysing the relations of co-inventors' regions by individual patent using a network analysis tool.

Innovative capacities and performance are essential for the growth of the IT industry and the development of the Korean economy. Global R&D centers are important sources of innovation in the IT industry. In order to identify the structure of the innovation environment of global R&D centers in IT industry, we conducted a field survey of 50 global R&D centers and 50 global R&D policy experts in IT industry. According to the empirical results obtained using the Linear Structure Model, it is suggested that, first, with regard to a short-term IT global policy, the direction of the Korean government's policy should act as a trigger to connect the research domain and the market domain; second, the government policy should act as a facilitator to connect the development domain and the research domain in the mid-term period; and, finally, the government's R&D policy should serve as a disseminator to connect technological capability and the market space domain in the long-term perspective. For an effective way of internationalizing innovation, IT policy planners should regard global IT R&D centers as the important components of national innovation system and encourage the effective involvements by them in the process of IT industrial innovation.

미래의 기업 환경은 유형 자산으로서의 물질적인 자산보다는 지적재산권 등의 무형 자산에 대한 중요성이 더욱 강조될 것이다. 지적재산권 중 특허의 가치를 통하여 기업의 성과가 변화함을 보인 많은 선진국의 사례 연구-Machluo(1958)으로부터 시작하여 Mansfield(1965), Beck. R(1976), Parker. J(1978), Rosegger. G(1980), Scherer. F(1980) 등 1990년 이후는 무수히 많음-는 미래 기업 경쟁력이 질적 가치가 우수한 특허를 얼마나 보유하고 이를 얼마나 효율적으로 관리하는가에 달려있음을 보여주고 있다. 본 연구는 국내 화학기업의 특허관리 유형을 5가지 특허 지표들-국내특허출원건수(relative patent applications), 국내특허등록건수(patent granted), 유효특허건수 (valid patents), 집중도(concentration of patents in subclass), 국제특허출원건수(overall international patent applications)-을 통하여 구분하였으며, 이들 변수를 가지고 군집화 하였을 때 각각에 해당하는 클러스터에서 기업성과에 차이가 나타나는지 알아보았다. 본 연구에서 특허를 기업성과와 관련시켜 설명한 점은 기술혁신 능력 내지는 기술경쟁력을 측정하는 척도로서 특허를 바라본 것이며, 특허의 전략적 관리와 활용이 독점적 시장 우위의 확립과 경제적 성과 향상, 통합적인 경쟁력 강화 측면에서 기업의 성공을 가져올 것으로 보기 때문이다.
