This paper analyzes how corporate product innovation affects firms' revenue and financial stability, and thereby draws the implications for the corporate strategy for sustainable growth. Corporate product innovation is defined as the development of new products within the firm, including bought-in products. Corporate revenue is measured by per capita sales and its growth rate, while financial stability is measured by debt-to-equity ratio and liquidity ratio. In the empirical analysis, the two-stage estimation method was used to control for the endogeneity of new product development. The data are drawn from the first (2005) to the sixth (2015) wave of the Human Capital Corporate Panel (HCCP) Survey, which are matched to the data from the Korea Investors Service (KIS). The results of the first-stage estimation indicate that product innovation of the firm is promoted by the firm's knowledge capital stock, human resources investment, and market-leading strategy. The second-stage estimation results indicate a positive relationship between the firm's level of activity in product innovation and short-term revenue (per capita sales and its growth), and financial stability (lower debt-to-equity ratio and higher liquidity ratio). These findings confirm that the firm's investment in technology innovation and subsequent product innovation are important strategies to enhance both short-term corporate revenue and long-term financial stability.

The purpose of this study is to analyze changes of innovation activities and their performance in pre-IPO and post-IPO of KOSDAQ IPO listed companies in medical and pharmaceutical fields, which require high R&D investment, from 2000 to 2005 in Korea. The innovation efficiencies of the IPO companies were measured before and after three years based on the DEA model. The financial data and patent information of the listed company during total 6 years, which were 3 years before IPO and 3 years after IPO, were collected. The main results of this research are as follows. First, it took an average 12.86 years until IPO in the start-up of the IPO companies in the pharmaceutical sector, and innovation was on average more active than the IPO before. R&D investment was higher than the IPO before, and the number of the applied patent during 3 years after IPO was 16.67 which was increased from 8.43 during 3 years before IPO. In addition, the average scope of technology of the IPO companies was expanded from 11 to 22 technology fields during previous 3 year and after 3 year each, and financial growth after IPO was lower than the previous IPO. Second, the financial performance of R&D investment and the performance of patent activity were weakened in the efficiency after the IPO, and the integrated performance from the patenting activities and the R&D investment was decreased after the IPO. Finally, the efficiency of the financial performance of the patenting activity was lower than the efficiency of the financial performance of the patent and R&D investment and patent activities under the R&D investment. In particular, the inefficiency of the firms' patenting activities performance after the IPO was caused by the decreasing return to scale, according to the results of this study. This results implicate that the expansion of R&D investments through the IPO had not lead to the financial performance of the market, and that the overall inefficiency since the IPO is due to the inefficiencies at the stage for the outcome of innovation activity rather than the output obtained through the R&D investments that appear to lead the performance of the market.

IWRM은 지속가능한 발전 방향으로 수자원을 관리 및 개발하기 위한 기존의 정치, 사회, 경제, 행정 및 기술 시스템의 혁신과정이다. IWRM의 개념은 1992년 더블린 선언과 리우 지구정상회담에서 채택한 Agenda 21에 의해서 특별한 주의를 끌고 있다. 그러나 IWRM은 개념의 추상성과 어떻게 실행할 것인가에 대한 의문성으로 인하여 혼란을 주고 있다. 우리의 수자원 환경은 반복되는 물 부족, 수자원 개발과 환경보전의 대립, 수질 개선의 미흡, 수요관리의 요구 증대, 물 관리기관간의 제휴력 취약, 참여에 의한 수자원 관리 행정 미흡, 물 관리 재정 악화 등을 들 수 있다. 이런 현안들을 해결하기 위하여 IWRM에 대한 필요성과 관심이 집중되고 있다. 그러나 IWRM의 실행을 위한 진전은 더디게 진행되고 있고, 이런 결과는 IWRM개념 이해의 부족도 하나의 원인이 될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 IWRM을 물 관리의 새로운 혁신과정으로서 살펴보았다. 다대한 장해물을 가지고 있는 혁신은 한번에 모든 주요한 개혁을 수행하는 것보다 일단 변화를 촉진시키기 위하여 쉽고 실행 가능한 첫 출발이 중요하다. 본 연구는 IWRM의 이해도를 높일 수 있는 개념을 조사 분석하였고, 국내의 수자원 문제를 해결하고자하는 IWRM의 실행 노력을 살펴보았다.

This paper examined the relationship between innovation and firm performance by integrating industry competitive context and firm-level knowledge constructs. After controlling for firm site, age, and the presence of a union, cross-section analysis of survey data from 1,419 medium sized manufacturing firms yielded following findings. The first was the expected positive relationship between firm-level innovation and firm knowledge and also industry dynamism, as measured by the intensity of industry-level R&D. This results indicate that industries with greater aggregate levels of R&D intensity are home to higher rates of firm-level innovative activity and managers must increase their numbers of technical staff and the level of training. But the interaction between firm knowledge and industry dynamism was non-significant. Second, innovation was not significantly related to firm performance, as measured by revenue growth. This relationship was not moderated by industry dynamism and firm level knowledge. In high and low technology sectors, the relationship between innovation and performance was non-significant, consistent with the full-sample analysis. The results suggest that the effects of firm-level knowledge assets and investments in training don't work in different ways in different industry settings. This research used three control variables to analyze innovation and firm performance. Firm age was negatively associated with firm performance and did not significantly predict innovation. Firm size was positively associated with innovation and performance in the low-technology sector. The presence of a labor union was not a significant with respect to innovation.

Innovation is the development of new customers value through solutions that meet new needs, inarticulate needs, or old customer and market needs in value adding new ways. This is accomplished through more effective products, processes, services, technologies, or ideas that are readily available to markets, governments, and society. Innovation differs from invention in that innovation refers to the use of a better and, as a result, novel idea or method, whereas invention refers more directly to the creation of the idea or method itself. Therefore, the utilization of patents is the most important of the three aspects (creation, protection and utilization) in the patent system for getting to actual innovation. In order to increase the patent use, the rates of the applied patents to a real industrial process and the bargain and license of patent rights should be promoted. For promoting technological innovation substantially, there is necessary to escape from dichotomy of weakening or enhancing patent protection in the discussion on the changes of patent system for "Adequate patent guarantees". Furthermore, the legal and institutional improvements to enable the use of patent should be discussed together. Recently, open innovation is a new paradigm that assumes that firms can and should use external ideas as well as internal ideas, and internal and external paths to market, as the firms look to advance their technology" or "Innovating with partners by sharing risk and sharing reward." The boundaries between a firm and its environment have become more permeable; innovations can easily transfer inward and outward. The central idea behind open innovation is that in a world of widely distributed knowledge, companies cannot afford to rely entirely on their own research, but should instead buy or license processes or inventions (i.e. patents) from other companies. In addition, internal inventions not being used in a firm's business should be taken outside the company. In the era of open innovation, more flexible patent use strategy is essential. It is important that improvements for the legal system in order that patented technology can be applied for products and processes in a real industrial between outside and inside of the firms.

Recently, US, EU and major development countries, including Korea, have set green growth strategy the for national robust economic growth. Green growth strategy was also adopted as economic stimulus policy. Korea also have established some policies for green growth such as Green Growth National Strategy and 5-years Plan. Thought the SMEs play an important role as the innovative driver that can supply material and components for final products, there are few policies for joining green growth strategy. So, the purpose of this paper is to explore the current extent of public procurement for technology-development products and propose the betterment of it. Firstly, we analyzed the public procurement-policies of major countries to kinds of policy-purposes and types including Korea. and then we deducted the needs to policy utilizing the public procurement for joining the SMEs to green growth strategy. Second, we proposed that the objects of purchase conditional public procurement policy be extent to the pre-commercial technologies. The pre-commercial technologies could be performed further R&D by some other compaines or pubic institutes. Considering the natures of green technology-such as quasi-public-, this improvement would be helpful for SMEs which could create initial-marketplace and sales-references.
