This study focused on the study of the moderating effects of absorptive capacity(AC) of venture firms on the technological innovation performance(TIP). For this purpose, this study analyzed the relationship between entrepreneurship(ENT), innovation competence(INC), external cooperation(EXO) and AC affecting the performance of technological innovation activities in venture companies in the area of Busan. As a result of analysis, the AC showed a role of moderating processes, in which ENT have affected the INC, and ENT, INC, and EXO have affected the TIP. Secondly, several relationships which have positively influenced or mediated, have been presented. ENT has positively influenced INC, EXO, & TIC. INC have done so EXC & TIP. EXC have done so TIP. Each of INC and EXC has been positively mediating the relationship between ENT & TIP.

This study investigates how entrepreneurial orientation and absorptive capacity influence strategic capabilities (technology, marketing, and market-linking capabilities), as well as how strategic capabilities affect performance in Korean export venture firms. To analyze this empirically, we hypothesized the relationship between entrepreneurial orientation, absorptive capacity, strategic capabilities, and firm performance based on an existing resource-based review and empirical literatures. We collected data using questionnaires and used a partial least squares (PLS) structural equation model for hypothesis testing. The following results were obtained from the empirical analysis. First, entrepreneurial orientation has a significant positive impact on absorptive capacity. Second, entrepreneurial orientation has a significant positive effect on technology, marketing, and market-linking capabilities. Third, absorptive capacity has a significant positive influence on technology, marketing, and market-linking capabilities. Fourth, technology and marketing capabilities have a significant positive effect on firm performance. However, market-linking capabilities have no significant influence on firm performance.

This study examined 142 electronic components, video, audio, and communications equipment manufacturers (KSIC 32) out of all the SMEs that responded to the Survey on Technology of the Small and Medium Enterprises in both 2005 and 2007 and empirically analyzed how the external resources utilization and the absorptive capability affected the management and the innovation performance in two years as well as how the absorptive capability moderated these relationships. According to the results of analysis, the external resources utilization, as measured by the technology collaboration and the governments R&D subsidies, did not have a significant impact on performance whereas R&D investment showed a positive (+) influence on the sales and R&D personnel ratio, negative (-). On the other hand, the moderating effect of absorptive capability varied by measurement method and independent variables. That is, when a technology collaboration takes place, the performance improved with the increase of R&D investment but R&D personnel ration had an opposite effect. The companies whose performance improved as the government R&D subsidies increase are those with low R&D investment or high R&D personnel ratio. These results demonstrate that the SME's external resources utilization cannot replace the internal and that the absorptive capability needs to be accumulated to maximize the effectiveness of external resources utilization. Also, the technology collaboration requires SME's aggressive investment in R&D and the government R&D subsidies turn out to be more helpful for the companies that already have the R&D personnel but have been unable to develop their own technology due to insufficient funds. This study has limitations in that it was conducted within the limited industry categories and samples, but has overcome those of the existing researches by identifying causal relationships through the use of longitudinal data.

The research object is stepwise process of absorptive capacity is important factor to get the successful result of technology commercialization training program. We analyze the relationship between absorptive capacity and educational performance with empirical study to the students who attended the technology commercialization training program. Results show that potential absorptive capacity has positive effect on realized absorptive capacity. Realized absorptive capacity also has the positive effect on educational performance. We conclude the successful technology commercialization training program is based on the stepwise process of absorptive capacity. That means technology commercialization training program will set up based on not functional but stepwise process. Further more, technology commercialization training program must be practical, focusing, interdisciplinary, and repetitive courses.

This paper analyzes the technology transfer mechanism of companies clustered in a specific economic space from the perspective of absorptive capacity, taking the Daegu automotive parts industry as an example. According to the analysis results, The absorptive capacity of a company was found to be positively related to the supplier, channel, method, and institutional interaction of technology transfer. Low absorptive capacity limits technology transfer by reducing companies' technology search capabilities, while high absorptive capacity gives companies access to technology search and various technology transfer opportunities through formal and informal channels. These results suggest that, in the short term, it is necessary to supplement the search capabilities of companies through preemptive visiting services of local intermediaries for the vitalization of regional technology transfer, while in the long term, a policy approach focusing on enhancing the absorptive capacity of local companies is required. For effective implementation of these policies, a multi-layered governance approach corresponding to each level of companies' absorptive capacities is required in establishing an interface structure that promotes linkage between institutional actors.

본 연구는 오염토양/지하수의 정화를 위하여 사용되는 계면활성제 교정기술의 보다 현실적인 평가를 위하여 토양에 흡착된 계면활성제에 대한 소수성 유기오염물인 Naphthalene과 Phenanthrene의 흡수현상에 대한 연구결과를 나타내었다. 음이온 계면활성제인 Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate (SDS)와 중성 계면활성제인 Tween 80의 흡착곡선은 소수성 꼬리 (hydrophobic tails)간의 상호작용에 의하여 S-형 모양을 보이며 이들 흡착된 계면활성제는 Micelle로 존재하는 계면활성제에 비하여 유기오염물에 대한 보다 강한 흡수능력을 나타내었다. 결과에 나타난 흡수능력의 차이는 계면활성제가 흡착되어있거나 Micelle상태로 존재할 경우 다른 구조를 형성하기 때문이라 사료된다. 흡수된 계면활성제와 Micelle의 상호경쟁에 의하여 유기오염물의 부동성(immobility)을 나타내는 분배계수(distribution coefficient)는 계면활성제의 농도에 반비례하였다. 결론적으로 토양/지하수의 오염물 정화를 위하여 계면활성제 교정기술의 적용 시 고정상 (solid phase)에 있는 흡착 계면활성제에 의한 유기오염물의 지체현상 (retardation)을 고려하여야 한다.

A firm's competitive capabilities become greater when the firm has a specific knowledge. There are many studies have been examined how to accumulate the firm specific knowledge and to get the competitive capability on the various perspectives. This study suggest that the conceptual framework on the absorptive capability through reviews on the knowledge management theory. And it also suggests that the proposition about the technological capability building process through the in depth case study on a small and medium sized company in a LCD industry. This study found the following major characteristics about the absorptive capability building and knowledge creating process. First, it is required to building an absorptive capability rapidly that the harmony of local capabilities, integrative capabilities, and intensity of effort. And the most important factor is the intensity of effort in a small and medium sized firm with a weak knowledge base. Second, it is required to develop an innovative new product that the utilization of expeditious learning mechanism based on the exploration and exploitation process. Finally, complementary assets are needed to proactive exploration and exploitation. Based on the findings, the theoretical and managerial implications are derives and the further research directions are proposed.
