Recently, SME's Collaboration activities have become one of a vital factor for sustaining competitive edge. This is because of the rapidly changing and competitive market environment, and also to leverage performance by overcoming obstacles of having limited internal resources. Discussing about the effects and relationships of the firm's collaboration activities and its outputs are not new. However, as ICT and various technologies have been diffused into the traditional industries, boundaries and practice capabilities within the industries are becoming ambiguous. Thus contents of the products/services and their development methods are also go and come over the industries. Although many researchers suggested the relations of SME's collaboration activities and innovation performances, most of the previous literatures are focusing on broad perspectives of firm's environmental factors rather than considering various SME's idiosyncrasy factors such as their major product and customer types at once. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to analyze how SME(Small Medium Enterprise)'s external collaboration activities by their idiosyncrasy act as an input to types of innovation performance. In order to analyze collaboration effects in detail, we defined factors that can represent the SME's business environment - Perceived importance of using external resources, Perceived importance of external partnership, Collaboration and Collaboration levels of Major Product types, Customer types and lastly the Firm Sizes. We have also specifically divided the performance of innovation types as product innovation and process innovation based on existing research. In this study, the empirical analysis is based on Probit Regression Model to observe the correlations with the impact of each SME's business environment and their activities. For the empirical data, 497 samples were collected which, this sample data was extracted from the 'Korean Open Innovation Survey' performed by ETRI(Korean Electronics Telecommunications Research Institute) in 2010. As a result, empirical test results indicated that the impact of collaboration varies depend on the innovation types (Product and Process Innovation). The Impact of the collaboration level for the product innovation tend to be more effective when SMEs are developing for a final product, targeting on for individual customers (B2C). But on the other hand, the analysis result of the Process innovation tend to be higher than the product innovation, when SMEs are developing raw materials for their partners or to other firms targeting on for manufacturing industries(B2B). Also perceived importance of using external resources has effected to both product and process innovation performance. But Perceived importance of external partnership was statistically insignificant. Interesting finding was that the service product has negative effects on for the process innovation performance. And Relationship between size of the firms and their external collaboration activities with their performance of the innovations indicated that the bigger firms(over 100 of employees) tend to have better for both product and process innovations. Finally, implications of the results can be suggested as performance of innovation can be varied depends on firm's unique business idiosyncrasy as well as levels of external collaboration activities. The Implication of this research can be considered for firms in selecting an appropriate strategy as well as for policy makers.

협업적 제품 거래 환경에서는 제품의 전 수명주기에 걸쳐 기업들이 보유하고 있는 제품 지식을 공유, 교환함으로써 보다 적극적인 기업간 협업을 지원한다. 따라서 기업간 제품 지식을 어떻게 표현하고 공유할 것인가에 관한 문제와 다양한 정보 시스템으로부터 얻어질 수 있는 제품지식을 어떻게 통합하고, 확장할 것인가에 관한 문제가 매우 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 온톨로지 개념을 이용하여 제품 지식의 공유 및 통합 문제를 해결할 수 있는 온톨로지 모델을 제시하고 제품 설계 과정에 이를 적용함으로써 타당성을 검증하였다.

2012년 12월 협동조합기본법이 시행된 이래, 2015년 6월 현재 전국적으로 약 7,300여개의 협동조합이 설립되어 조합원들의 유기적인 공동활동을 통해 공동사업을 수행하고 있다. 소상공인협동조합, 사회적협동조합 등 다양한 형태의 협동조합은 자신들의 공동목적을 달성하기 위한 요소로 업무정보 공유에 기반한 협업이 필수적이라고 인식하고 있다. 기획재정부의 분류에 따르면 21개의 업종으로 다양한 산업군에 걸쳐 협동조합은 하나의 기업처럼 사업활동을 하고 있다. 하지만, 일반기업과는 달리 협동조합은 수직적인 경영구조가 아닌 조합원들 간의 수평적 경영조직을 갖는다. 본 논문에서는 공동사업 수행과 공동이익 창출이라는 협동조합의 특수한 사업모델과 전국에 산발적으로 분산되어 있는 조합원들 간의 공동업무 활동을 위한 협업 시스템을 제안한다.

In this study, factors necessary for successful industry-university cooperation of SMEs(small and medium-sized enterprises) were identified. The structure of the TOE (Technology, Organization, Environment) framework was considered for a company's industry-university cooperation preparation capacity, and open innovation collaboration and resilience were utilized as a mediating effect between industry-university cooperation preparation capacity and corporate performance. This study verified the model through a structured questionnaire targeting 204 SMEs with industry-university cooperation experience. As a result, it was confirmed that it was important for companies to make diversified efforts by accommodating industry-university cooperation to obtain results from industry-university cooperation.

Supply chain management for complex project requires continuous integration activities with the suppliers and subcontractors. This study proposes the firm performances, trust, relational norms, interfirm conflict and cooperation as major research variables, and collected the survey responses from the suppliers and subcontractors having experiences with complex projects. The statistical results indicate that the cooperation and conflict influence the firm performances, and that the inter-firm trust have some impact on the level of cooperation and conflict. It was also found that the inter-firm cooperation is influenced by relational norm. But on the contrary to our expectation, the relational norm has no significant impact on the inter-firm conflict. These findings may offer the significant implications leading to successful implementation of collaborative supply chain management in the context of project engineering area.

데이터 통합은 기업의 각 조직과 주요 업무, 핵심 애플리케이션에서 발생하는 물리적인 데이터 소스들을 표준 규칙과 메타데이터에 여과시켜 중복성을 제거하고. 오직 데이터 통합 및 단일 뷰를 정확하게 제공하기에 어려움이 따른다. 특히, 이기종 시스템이나 다양한 애플리케이션에서 나오는 대량의 데이터를 종류와 형식에 관계없이 호환이 가능하도록 지속적으로 통합하여, 정확한 정보를 실시간으로 동기화하여 제공할 수 있는 자동화된 정보의 통합이 관건이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 레거시 시스템간의 데이터를 협업할 때 실시간으로 변화는 데이터를 일관성 있게 유지하기 위해서 데이터 협업 메커니즘을 제안한다. 또한 XMDR을 이용하여 협업에 의한 데이터 통합에서 발생하는 의미적 상호 운용성의 문제점을 해결하는 XMDR 기반의 데이터 허브 시스템을 구축한다.

To support complex business environment. the enterprise information system requires prompt and flexible response to altered conditions. The development of collaboration among information systems in accordance with changes in enterprises' business environment brings about the problems of duplication of the existing business services and increase in costs of maintenance. In order to supplement and resolve such problems, researches on ontology are under way. Ontology can support the semantic interoperability of Web service by describing the resources of particular business domains and the relationships among them. This thesis suggests ontology that supports interoperability among services. The constructed ontology is designed into the service area, the meta area, and the instance area, which can support the collaboration efficiently by providing the link between the interactivity among businesses and the data. The register and call of constructed ontology are carried out with the interaction of the three areas, that is, the service area, the instance area and the meta area that supports the common elements. The efficiency of the proposed ontology is evaluated by comparing with an existing Web service ontology.

현재 인터넷 기술의 발달은 공급망상의 참여 기업들이 서로 독립적으로 생산관리를 실행하는 기존의 생산관리 방식에 많은 변화를 가져오고 있다. 대표적인 예가 참여 기업간의 정보공유를 기반으로 하는 협업적 생산관리 방식인 CPFR (Collaborative Planning, Foretasting and Replenishment)이다. 이는 공급망상의 참여자들이 예외적 생산관리 상황이 발생하였을 때 이를 협업적으로 해결할 수 있는 생산관리 프레임워크를 의미한다. 본 논문에서는 CPFR 방식을 효과적으로 지원하며 이를 현실에 적응하기 위래서 데이터 뷰 (Data View) 에이전트, 협업 (Collaboration) 에이전트 및 비즈니스 규격 (Business Rule) 에이전트로 구성된 멀티 에이전트 시스템 구조를 제시한다. 또한 이를 분산 컴퓨팅 기술인 EJB (Enterprise Java Bean)를 이용하여 웹기반 CPFR 어플리케이션을 구현한다.
