Concept of Open Innovation (OI) has recently prevailed in academia and industry as a model for increase in R&D productivity. This concept which in turn leads to an improvement in R&D investment efficiency has therefore drawn many firms to adopt this new model. And this has been the same for Korean firms since the extensive introduction of the OI concept in the early 2009. Yet, the problem with this is that the Korean firms do not know much about this concept in practice: what causes OI to occur, what the intended purpose of its introduction is, what proper procedures to take for a successful introduction, and so on. Based on LG Chem’s Open Innovation movement case which ignited in the late 2006, this paper answers the questions previously raised. The successful introduction was made possible by taking a proper procedure of change management along with a strong support from its senior management. This paper also identifies how the OI movement, which was a way to introduce new technology from the outside, has acted as a catalyst in forming a cooperative R&D atmosphere in LG Chem, and how the role of OI has transformed into a strategic tool for organization change.

The study investigates the type of organizational culture, using the organizational culture assessment instrument(OCAI) developed by Cameron and Quinn based on the competing value model(CVM), and analyzed the gap between current and desirable organizational culture empirically. The analytic results show that while the organizational members prefer the relational organizational culture as a dominant organizational culture on the current level. Also they prefer the relational organizational culture as a desirable organizational culture on the future level. In addition, the diagnosis of organizational culture by the type of status reveals that while the public educational personnel and staff recognized the relational organizational culture as a strong culture, the local public service employee identified the hierarchical culture as a dominant culture on the current level. Those findings suggest the following implications. First, the sustainable management of organizational culture requires the suitable strategic tools. That is to say, they need to introduce and carry out practical strategies to sustain change and control for each type of organizational culture. Second, despite the fact that the balance among four types of organizational culture is needed the strategy to reinforce the dominant culture, considering the types of status and affiliation.

Emphasizing the importance of R&D as a source of open innovation, Korean government is developing various programs focused on technology commercialization and is expanding investment on it. In spite of those efforts, technology commercialization is not vitalized yet due to the lack of demand for technology transfer, R&D planning scheme without considering market, immaturity of technology market, and so on. This study aims to suggest the business ecosystem model so that technology commercialization could be facilitated based on business ecosystem perspective. We set the framework for modeling a business ecosystem through reviewing the previous works, and draw several problems to be solved regarding public R&D commercialization in Korea from the perspective of ecosystem. Considering those, this research proposes the business ecosystem model for public R&D commercialization as a reference model for describing, discussing, and developing the technology commercialization strategy. The proposed model consists of 4 domains as follows: R&D, technology market, information distribution channels, and customers. The business ecosystem model shows that technology commercialization could be facilitated to create the market value through close relationship and organic cooperation among its members that form the ecosystem. Public research institutes as a keystone player could control the fate of the ecosystem. In this regard, this paper suggests roles of public research institutes for evolving the business ecosystem.

2005년 1월, 정부혁신지방분권위원회의 ${\ulcorner}$국가통계인프라 강화 방안${\lrcorner}$ 의 내용을 보면 통계청의 지방통계사무소를 지역통계센터로 개편하여 지역통계의 기획, 표본설계 등에 관한 기술지원을 담당하는 것으로 기술되어 있다. 향후 모든 기관의 통계조사업무를 수탁, 대행하는 기관으로의 발전을 목적으로 한다. 통계청에서는 이 역할을 담당할 인재를 양성하기 위한 교육과정을 통계교육원에 요청하여 개설한 바, 상반기와 하반기 2회 실시하였다. 교육과정명은 ${\ulcorner}$통계개발기획과정${\lrcorner}$ 으로 2주간 실시하였고, 교육대상자는 현재 지방청 및 지방사무소에 근무하는 직원으로 한정하였다. 교육과목으로는 이론과 실무가 접목되고, 교육 이수 후에 바로현장에서 활용 가능하도록 구성하였으나 결과론적으로 보았을 때 추가되어야 할 교육내용들이 나타났다. 조사기획 즉, 조사방법과 조사기획서 작성에 치중한 교육내용은 향후 지역통계센터에서 어떤 역할을 부여받느냐에 따라서 좀 더 체계화되지 않을까 생각된다. 전체 팀원들을 위해서는 일련의 조사기획에 대한 이론과 실무경험이 중요하다. 또한 지방자치단체의 통계DB구축에 도움을 주기 위해서는 그 부분에 대한 이해도 필요할 것으로 판단된다. 특히 관리자에게는 리더십과 관리능력 그리고 대인과의 커뮤니케이션 스킬, 분석능력 등이 추가적으로 필요할 것으로 생각되었다.

세계적인 무역의 흐름은 전자문서교환(EDI), 인터넷 등 정보기술의 빠른 확산에 힘입어 기존 무역거래 형태에서 새로운 형태인 전자무역으로 발전하고 있다 이는 전자무역이 기존 무역거래 방식의 단순한 전자화 수준을 넘어 무역구조와 무역프로세스를 혁신하고 무역부대비용 절감, 시간단축 등을 통해 국제경쟁력을 강화할 수 있는 세계화 정보화 시대에서의 국가와 기업의 생존전략으로 인식되고 있기 때문이다. 선진국들과 주요경쟁국들은 전자무역을 통해 무역거래에 소요되는 시간과 비용 절감을 도모하고 업무 효율성을 증진시켜 나가고 있다. 이에 우리나라도 전자무역 활성화를 통해 국제무역거래에서의 경쟁력을 높이기 위해 노력을 경주하고 있다. 정부와 무역유관기관의 경우 전자무역 활성화를 위한 인프라 구축 및 법적, 제도적 기반 조성을 위해 다양한 지원정책과 제도를 시행하고 있다. 국내 기업들도 기존의 전형적인 무역거래 형태에서 벗어나 전자무역을 구현하기 위해 노력하고 있다. 그러나 아직까지 대부분의 중소기업의 경우 전자무역의 활용은 초보적 단계이다. 우리나라 국가경제에서 중소기업이 차지하는 비중을 고려해보면 중소기업의 전자무역 활용도 제고를 통한 경쟁력 강화는 궁극적으로 국가경쟁력을 높이는 핵심이라 할 수 있다. 따라서 중소기업의 전자무역 활용도 제고를 위해 무엇보다 정부, 무역유관기관, 중소기업 등 3대 주체간에 전자무역구현 필요성에 대한 공감대 형성과 효율적인 인프라 구축 및 전자무역 친화적 환경조성을 위해 노력해야 한다.

This paper examines the knowledge transfer effect in Korean venture systems. Existing literature has provided rich evidence of the effect of knowledge transfer, but we do not have micro mechanisms inherent in the process of knowledge transfer. This paper argues that knowledge transfer effects vary depending on the knowledge types, sources, and legacy. This paper also tests role of the two important pillars in knowledge transfer of Korean venture startups; venture capital and government. This paper also examines the role of absorptive capacity in the knowledge transfer process. With 1,862 sample of Korean venture firms, this study employed three methods depending on 3 different types of dependent variables: hierarchical regression, logistic regression, and survival analysis. Main findings include that 1) knowledge characteristic itself and its alignment with industry influence the knowledge transfer effects, 2) government support has a negative effect on financial performance of venture firms, but does not have significant interaction effect on knowledge transfer, and 3) the absorptive capacity of each firm moderates the knowledge transfer effects. The theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

Overcoming the death valley, a period in which resources are depleted and profitability declines or stagnates in the entrepreneurial process, is an essential procedure for success. In this study, we examined how the strategic orientation(technology, customer, competitor orientations) and absorptive capacity(potential, realized capacities) of startups affect the possibility of startups to overcome the challenges of death valley, and also empirically analyzed whether support of open innovation and venture capital has a moderating influence to the overcoming of death valley. The result of this study shows that customer orientation and realized absorptive capacity have a positive influence on overcoming the death valley. In addition, we found that the support of open innovation and venture capital has a moderating effect only in the technology orientation among the three types of strategic orientations. The result of this research emphasizes (1) the need for startups to take a more customer-oriented approach to overcome the death valley. The customer-oriented behavior and strategies of startups are vital for their longterm survival and success if we consider the fact that most of the companies investigated in this study were technology-based startups and only customer orientation showed significant results in overcoming the death valley. The research outcome also shows that (2) implementing innovation in a more open way and securing venture capital funding can make it easier for startups to overcome the death valley. This study has academic significance in that it empirically analyzed the relationship of key factors influencing the overcoming of death valley in a situation where the majority of existing research remains at the conceptual level of discussion or methodology of case study. Furthermore, this research also provides practical implications for the establishment and implementation of effective strategies to confront the challenges of death valley for startups, government and related organizations.

This paper explores the triple helix innovation system in Food Valley in the Netherlands which is considered one of the most innovative food clusters in the world. The triple helix approach has been so far little tackled in the literature on innovation system and cluster. However, tills approach can be a useful tool for understanding the dynamic characters and knowledge transfer mechanism of industrial cluster. On the basis of an in-depth case study, we argue that Food Valley has evolved through four circles of growth in the triple helix innovation system. From the mid-2000s onward, it is seen that Food Valley has been on the stabilized circle in the triple helix system of innovation. Centered upon Wageningen UR, local universities and research centers play a pivotal role in building the triple helix innovation system. To cope with radical changes in markets and technology since the late 1980s, local firms have made a great deal of effort to reinforce the university-industry partnership. On the other hand, government agencies have played a critical role for establishing institutional milieu that facilitate university-industry partnerships and local knowledge transfer and spillover.

In this study, we examine the concept of social value which is the main philosophical foundation in government innovation pursued by Moon Jae-In government and analyze the case of government innovation which was promoted by specific local governments. The purpose of this study is to discuss the implications for the government innovation through the case study of local autonomous organizations. The studied local government is an institution that has received excellent evaluation of government innovation for the realization of social value by Ministry of Public Administration and Security. In this study, we conducted in-depth interviews with local governments and youths and examined the success factors of government innovation through active participation in community issues. First of all, institutional support such as ordinances is important for encouraging the participation of community members. It is also important for local governments to lead their own change and listen to their voices from a consumer perspective, not from a supplier perspective. In addition, significant importance of the incentive system that could induce continuous participation in community problems was found. In this way, it is possible to establish a continuous system to approach the problem of local community as consumer perspective, not supplier perspective, and solve the problem together.
