This article analyzed the direct impact of resource inputs on business performances of Korean environmental companies conducting R&D, and the mediation effects of product-, process-, organization-, marketing-innovations between resource inputs and business performances. We conducted the mediation analysis using SPSS and Process Macro, based on a survey data from the Korean environmental companies. The article found that ① resource inputs have directly had a positive impact on business performances, and ② innovations have mediated them. ③ But among 4 types of innovations, the only mediation effect of organization-innovation has been verified, and the others have not appeared. Considering the above results, the following policy implications can be suggested. ① It is necessary to reinforce related policies so that companies can improve business performances through innovation. ② The government needs to carry out the prudent supporting policies so that innovations in product, process, and marketing can lead to business performances. This article has the limitation of using the survey data, and needs further researches on the sectoral system of innovation for Korean environmental industry.

Recently, it is difficult for a firm to survive and maintain sustainable competitive advantage through internal R&D only, because changes in the environment are very fast and complex. Accordingly, the paradigm of open innovation is gradually emphasized, and the ratio of external R&D has been increasing in various industries. This study analyzed open innovation through Korean Innovation Survey (KIS) data from Science and Technology Policy Institute (STEPI). We confirmed the ratio of open innovation based on firms of the manufacturing industry in South Korea, and examined the relationship between open innovation and innovation performance. This study suggests that open innovation is not a new paradigm that did not exist in the past. While the use of government support programs positively influence innovation performance, the use of external R&D doesn't influence innovation performance due to the difficulties associated with managing it. The results of this study will be used to establish the strategic direction and support the decision making when firms conduct innovation activities in the future.

Firms must focus on innovative activities via R&D investment in order to secure competitive advantage and sustainable growth. However, their innovative activities do not always result in successful outcomes and are often obstructed by uncertainty and non-appropriability of technology being developed and by insufficient internal resources and capabilities to tap into it. In this situation, collaboration with external partners can be a part of good alternative strategy to solve those problems. This paper aims to analyze what factors lead to Korean manufacturing companies’ decision to collaborate with external partners for technology innovation. For empirical analysis, we used the Korean Innovation Data compiled by STEPI, government-funded research institute in Korea. The research findings are: 1) firms tend to participate in external collaboration for product innovation with greater firm size, more past collaboration experiences and when they belong to high-tech industries 2) unlike our expectation, our chosen ‘innovation-impeding’ factors are found not to contribute to the enhancement of collaboration for product innovation.

본 연구는 연구개발의 기술적 성과에 비하여 상대적으로 저조한 경제적 성과를 제고하기 위해 중소기업의 기술사업화를 촉진하는 한국형 기술사업화 모델 및 이를 위한 과학적 연구방법론 제시를 목적으로 하고 있다. 먼저 기술사업화의 성공실패에 관련된 연구 중 하나인 신제품개발에서 경제적 성과에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 요인들을 선행연구를 통해 확인하고 우리나라 중소기업의 기술사업화 추진실태와 과제를 진단한다. 다음으로 세계 R&D 동향과 국내 대기업에서 추진하고 있는 6시그마 연구혁신 모델 및 기술사업화의 경제적 성과를 제고하기 위한 과학적 연구방법론 벤치마킹 분석 등의 결과를 토대로 우리나라 중소기업들이 수행하는 연구개발의 기술적 성과는 물론 경제적 성과도 제고할 수 있는 시장중심 R&D를 위한 한국형 기술사업화 모델과 이를 위한 5가지 과학적 연구 방법론을 제시한다. 1990년대 후반부터 등장하기 시작한 새로운 R&D동향은 사업부나 고객뿐만 아니라 공급자 등 외부 파트너들과의 상호 긴밀한 협력 하에 이들의 명시적인 니즈는 물론 암묵지 형태의 니즈까지도 파악하여 이를 R&D 활동에 반영하기 시작하였다. 특히 기업은 1980년대 정보화 진전, 변화의 가속화에 따라 연구과제의 성공이 바로 기업발전으로 연결되지 않는다는 것을 자각하기 시작했다. 단순히 R&D 활동만을 중시하는 것이 아니라 기술을 어떻게 마케팅과 연계시킬 것인가가 더욱 중요하게 되었다. 신기술을 신시장에 연결시키는 것이 용이하지 않지만, 성공 시에는 높은 가치창출을 기대할 수 있으므로 기업들은 R&D활동 보다 높은 가치를 창출하려는 활동에 관심을 가져야만 한다. 이와 같은 글로벌 환경 변화에 능동적으로 대처하고 제4차 산업혁명시대 중소기업의 연구개발 투자가 경제적 성과로 촉진될 수 있도록 본 연구에서 제시된 시장중심 R&D를 위한 한국형 기술사업화 모델과 5가지 과학적 연구방법론이 크게 기여하기를 기대해 본다.

As the global business environment changes, uncertainties in technology development and market needs increase, and competition among companies intensifies, interests and demands for R&D activities of individual companies are increasing. In order to cope with these environmental changes, R&D companies are strengthening R&D investment as one of the means to enhance the qualitative competitiveness of R&D while paying more attention to facility investment. As a result, facilities or R&D investment elements are inevitably a burden for R&D companies to bear future uncertainties. It is true that the management strategy of increasing investment in R&D as a means of enhancing R&D capability is highly uncertain in terms of corporate performance. In this study, the structural factors that influence the R&D capabilities of companies are explored in terms of technology management capabilities, R&D capabilities, and corporate classification attributes by utilizing data mining techniques, and the characteristics these individual factors present according to the level of R&D capabilities are analyzed. This study also showed cluster analysis and experimental results based on evidence data for all domestic R&D companies, and is expected to provide important implications for corporate management strategies to enhance R&D capabilities of individual companies. For each of the three viewpoints, detailed evaluation indexes were composed of 7, 2, and 4, respectively, to quantitatively measure individual levels in the corresponding area. In the case of technology management capability and R&D capability, the sub-item evaluation indexes that are being used by current domestic technology evaluation agencies were referenced, and the final detailed evaluation index was newly constructed in consideration of whether data could be obtained quantitatively. In the case of corporate classification attributes, the most basic corporate classification profile information is considered. In particular, in order to grasp the homogeneity of the R&D competency level, a comprehensive score for each company was given using detailed evaluation indicators of technology management capability and R&D capability, and the competency level was classified into five grades and compared with the cluster analysis results. In order to give the meaning according to the comparative evaluation between the analyzed cluster and the competency level grade, the clusters with high and low trends in R&D competency level were searched for each cluster. Afterwards, characteristics according to detailed evaluation indicators were analyzed in the cluster. Through this method of conducting research, two groups with high R&D competency and one with low level of R&D competency were analyzed, and the remaining two clusters were similar with almost high incidence. As a result, in this study, individual characteristics according to detailed evaluation indexes were analyzed for two clusters with high competency level and one cluster with low competency level. The implications of the results of this study are that the faster the replacement cycle of professional managers who can effectively respond to changes in technology and market demand, the more likely they will contribute to enhancing R&D capabilities. In the case of a private company, it is necessary to increase the intensity of input of R&D capabilities by enhancing the sense of belonging of R&D personnel to the company through conversion to a corporate company, and to provide the accuracy of responsibility and authority through the organization of the team unit. Since the number of technical commercialization achievements and technology certifications are occurring both in the case of contributing to capacity improvement and in case of not, it was confirmed that there is a limit in reviewing it as an important factor for enhancing R&D capacity from the perspective of management. Lastly, the experience of utility model filing was identified as a factor that has an important influence on R&D capability, and it was confirmed the need to provide motivation to encourage utility model filings in order to enhance R&D capability. As such, the results of this study are expected to provide important implications for corporate management strategies to enhance individual companies' R&D capabilities.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the actual effect of government R&D support and regulation as a policy on technology innovation of SMEs. Because the previous studies did not consider the endogeneity of R&D support and made inconsistent conclusions in the case of regulation, the empirical research was conducted by logistic, negative binomial regression and 2SLS analysis for 1,223 SMEs. The analysis results show that government support has the effect for technology innovation even considering the endogeneity of government R&D support, and government regulation has a positive effect on technology innovation which supports Porter's theory. These results imply that government R&D support is important in inducing technology innovation because of the vulnerability of SMEs technology development environment and government should foster SMEs technology innovation through appropriate regulation policies rather than unconditional deregulation.

In Korea, small and medium sized domestic enterprises(SMEs) play an pivotal role in the national economy, accounting for 99.9% of all enterprises, 87.9% of total employment, and 48.3% of production. and SMEs was driving a real force of the development of national economy in many respects such as innovation, job creation, industrial diversity, balanced regional development. Despite their crucial role in the national development, most of SMEs suffer from a lack of R&D capabilities and equipments as well as funding capacity. Public R&D institutes can provide SMEs with valuable supplementary technological knowledge and help them build technological capacity. so, In order to effectively support SMEs, government and public R&D institutes must be a priority to know about the factors influencing the performance related to technology transfer and technological collaborations. In particular, SMEs are not only taking up a large portion of the national economy, but also their influence in politics and economy so strong that raising the competitiveness of small and medium-sized companies is a national policy goal that must be achieved in order to achieve sustained economic growth. For this reason, it is necessary to look specifically at the relationship between concepts such as the environment, strategy, and organizational culture surrounding the enterprise to enhance the competitiveness of SMEs. The paper analyzes 665 companies to find out which organizational culture affects their performance by classification and type of business of SMEs. This study demonstrated that when SMEs seek consistency in their external environment, strategies, and organizational structure to maintain their continued competitiveness. According to three-way analysis of variance (3-way ANOVA) indicates that classification of industries in SMEs has statistically significant main effects, but the type of business and organizational culture do not have significant effects. However, the company's organizational performance (operating profit) of SMES were found to differ significantly in comparison between groups according to classification standards of industries, and therefore adopted some parts. In addition, an analysis of the effect of interaction between the three independent variables of small and medium-sized enterprises has shown that there are statistically significant interaction effects among classification, types of business, and organizational cultures. The results shows that there is an organizational culture suitable for each industry classification and type of business of an entity, and is expected to be used as a basis for establishing promotion policies related to the incubation and commerciality of small and medium-sized venture companies in the future.
