The purpose of this study is to clarity the effect of job autonomy, innovative work behaviors and perceived organizational support on organizational performance. To attain this goal, mediation analysis, moderation analysis and moderated mediation analysis were performed. 198 valid questionnaires from China Tianjin City's logistics enterprises were analyzed with SPSS Macro program. The results indicated that: (1) perceived organizational support's moderating effect existed in the relationship between job autonomy and innovative work behaviors, (2) innovative behaviors' mediated effect existed in the relationship between job autonomy and organizational performance, (3) perceived organizational support's moderated mediation effect is existing in the relationship between job autonomy, innovative behaviors and organizational performance. That is to say, the strength of the mediated effect decreased along with levels of perceived organizational support: stronger job autonomy relationship when perceived organizational support was weak.

Technological innovations is a main source of competitive advantage and at the same time, it needs great investment to achieve it. So in the back of many successful firms, always there is great technological innovation and much investment to achieve it. But investment in technological innovation does not always give good performance. In this paper according to the technological innovation model presented by Abernathy and Utterback(1975), the relationship between technological innovation and manufacturing strategy/ manufcaturing activity is testified by domestic firms empirically. The ultimate purpose of this paper is to prepare for basement of normative research on technological innovation to improve firm performance.

To date, the literature has focused on formal R&D activities, such as internal, joint or external R&D, but informal R&D activities, such as job training or design, can also have a positive impact on technological innovation. To address this research gap, this paper examined 1) the influence of informal R&D activities on innovation adoption, and 2) the differences between formal R&D-oriented and informal R&D-oriented firms in process and product innovation. For this, statistical analysis was conducted using the data set from 2012 Korea Innovation Survey. The results suggest that 1) informal R&D activities can influence process innovation, and 2) firms engaging in both informal and formal R&D actively adopt product innovation. Findings suggest that 1) firms should recognize the importance of informal R&D and 2) national R&D policy should reflect the positive role of informal R&D in technological innovation.

산업사회와 소비자는 갈수록 소량 다품종과 빠른 Delivery를 요구하고 있다. 생산라인은 급격히 자동화되어 가면서 기존의 단순한 Cost 구조에서 복잡한 Cost 구조로 심화될 뿐만 아니라 제조간접비용의 중요성도 점차 이슈화 되어 가고 있으며 시장에서의 경쟁은 갈수록 치열해 짐에 따라 판매비, 광고비 등의 부담도 점차 증가되고 있다고 하겠다. 이러한 시점에 세계 유수한 기업들은 Six Sigma 품질 혁신 활동을 통해 그들에 절대적인 부담이 되고 있는 비용의 절감뿐 아니라 품질 향상을 통한 고객 만족을 이끌어 내고 있다. 본 연구는 Six Sigma 품질 혁신 활동과 제약경영이론(Theory of Constraint)의 조합을 통한 시너지 효과로 생산 라인의 생산성 향상을 성공적으로 이끌어 낸 사례를 제시하고 있다. 즉, 본 연구의 목적은 Six Sigma 경영 혁신활동과 TOC 이론의 조합을 통해 생산 라인의 생산성 향상을 극대화 하고자 하는데 있다고 하겠다. 이를 위해 개선 활동의 프로세스 진행은 Six Sigma 활동의 DMAIC 프로세스를 따랐으며 세부 단계에서의 개선 아이디어를 발굴하기 위하여 Thinking Process를 적용하였다.

산업구조변화의 일반적인 추세는 나라마다 비슷한 모습을 보인다. 그러나 국가별, 산업별로 관찰해 보면 구조변화의 방향과 경로가 상당히 다양할 뿐 아니라 구조조정의 성과도 다르게 나타나고 있다. 본고(本稿)에서는 한국의 산업구조변화가 산업특성별로 어떻게 다른 모습을 보이고 있으며, 선진국들과 비교할 때 어떤 다른 특징이 관찰되는지를 검토함으로써 구조조정의 내용과 성과를 평가하고 정책적 시사점을 도출하고자 한다. 구조조정의 성과에 대한 평가의 근간은 "경제발전의 원동력은 혁신능력에 있다"는 "슘페터"의 명제에 두고 있다. 혁신집약적 산업활동의 비중변화를 기준으로 산업구조조정의 성과를 분석함에 있어 다음의 두가지 문제에 봉착하게 된다. 첫째, 혁신집약적 산업활동을 측정하기 위해 어떤 지표를 사용할 것인가, 둘째 혁신집약적 산업활동을 어떤 수준으로 분류할 것인가이다. 본고(本稿)에서는 산업별 연구개발 집약도를 혁신집약적 산업활동의 대용변수로 사용하여 혁신집약도의 정도에 따라 산업을 첨단기술산업, 중간기술산업, 재래기술산업의 세가지로 나눈 다음 수출구조변화, 생산 고용 부가가치 구조변화, 생산성 변화를 분석하였다. 제조업 수출에서 차지하는 첨단기술산업의 비중을 기준으로 한다면 구조고도화는 매우 빠르게 진전되었다. 첨단기술산업은 수출비중도 높지만 수입침투율도 가장 높다. 특히 수출주도의 고성장이 이루어졌던 1986~88년, 1994~95년 기간에 수출구조의 고도화도 급격히 이루어졌다는 사실은 해외경쟁에 노출되어 있는 수출부문이 제조업 구조고도화를 선도하고 있음을 시사하고 있다. 이에 비해 국내수요를 포함한 한국 제조업 전체의 생산, 고용, 부가가치 구조를 분석해 보면 수출부문에 비해 구조조정 성과가 상대적으로 낮은 것으로 평가된다.

This study aims to identify the sources of productivity change in export manufacturing firms. After estimating the Malmquist productivity index, a panel regression was used to calculate the source of productivity change. Upon conducting a literature review of this field, six variables were selected as explanatory variables. The results of an analysis of 355 export manufacturing firms operating from 2009 through 2015 are as follows: First, both innovation activity and total assets had a positive impact on productivity change. However, employment cost intensity, equity ratio, and current ratio had a negative impact on productivity change in export manufacturing firms. Second, innovation activity and intangible assets had a positive impact on productivity change, but employment cost intensity, selling expense intensity, and equity ratio had a negative impact on productivity change in large export manufacturing firms. Third, innovation activity had a positive impact on productivity change, but employment cost intensity and equity ratio had a negative impact on productivity change in small and medium export manufacturing firms. Fourth, intangible assets had a positive impact on productivity change, but employment cost intensity, selling expense intensity, and current ratio had a negative impact on productivity change in export manufacturing firms listed on the Korea Composite Stock Price Index. Fifth, innovation activity and total assets had a positive impact on productivity change, but employment cost intensity and equity ratio had a negative impact on productivity change in manufacturing firms listed on the Korean Securities Dealers Automated Quotations. The managerial implications of this study are also discussed.

6시그마''를 도입, 추진해온 LG전자 정보통신 구미사업장은 에너지절감활동 역시 ''6시그마 Tool''에 따라 진행된다. 6시그마는 생산활동에 있어서 1백만개의 제품이나 서비스 가운데 단 3.4개의 불량만을 허용하는 전사적 경영혁신 활동이다. 현재 품질경영 운동의 주류인 ''1백PPM(parts per million)''이 1백만개중 1백개의 불량을 허용하고 있으니 얼마나 높은 수준인지 알 수 있다. ''완벽 경영''에 도전하는 경영혁신활동인 셈이다. 이곳에서 지난 5월부터 약 4개월에 걸쳐 실시한 ESCO 조명교체사업은 에너지절감과 동시에 개체비용에 따른 경제적인 부담을 덜어줌으로써 매우 효과적인 6시그마 활동으로 주목받고 있다.

This study investigates the relationships among SMEs' innovation capacity, standardization education activities, and performances. Employing about 900 SMEs in the ICT and electronics electricity industries, this study used regression analysis and examined the effects of standardization education activities on performance and the moderating effect of innovation capacity. The results indicate that standardization education activities positively affect SMEs' production and quality improvement and R&D activity improvement. The results also show that R&D investment ratio moderates the relationship between standardization education and production and quality improvement. This study provides practical insight into why firm managers should pay attention to standardization education and innvation capacity to improve firm performance.

This paper aims to analyse post catch-up innovation activities of Korean firms. Traditional approach focused on incremental innovation through fast catch-up process. Recently, Korean firms present new patterns of innovation activities. It includes the development of state-of-the-art frontier products in capital intensive manufacturing sector, the achievement of architectural innovation through adopting newly developed components and the creation of new market based on the basic technological capabilities. This paper attempts to formulate conceptual framework for analysing post catch-up innovation activities and to analyse stylized facts of post catch-up activities based on the case studies on technology based small and medium Korean firms.

A lot of factor effects on the enterprise's innovation and business performance, for instance CEO and members intention etc.. Niehoff et al. says, The success factors of innovation enterprise's management lead to members of vision, innovation, innovation activities and support for an aggressive attitude of the enterprise members. However, today's products consumers wanted diverse and complex needs. CEO and members of the enterprise has been the diversity effort. The increase cost savings as well as in the profit improve factors that enterprise's participated a education and training, Subgroup activities, process quality, eliminate waste, improve yields, lead time reduction, process capability increasing, ets. This paper is a report of an empirical survey performed to 277 small and medium-sized enterprise in the korea. Cronbach's alpha coefficient is employed to analyze the reliability of the data. The effect analysis of each group is performed by the SEM(structural equation model). We use the SPSS' Amos program to analyze the equation modeling and test the hypotheses of the model.
