본 연구는 조선산업을 선도하고 있는 우리나라 D조선사와 S 조선사의 CAD system 부문에 있어 사용자 혁신 내용과 과정, 그리고 사용자 혁신이 기업의 경쟁 우위에 미치는 영향을 분석하고 complex product system에서의 사용자 혁신의 함의점과 CAD platform 자체의 진화에 따른 사용자 혁신의 한계를 조망한다. 사례 연구를 통해 본 연구가 발견한 결과는 다음과 같다. 1) 조선기업의 설계 및 제조 practice 및 관련 IT system 의 다양성과 특이성으로 인해 CAD system vendor 보다는 CAD system user 에 의한 application module 혁신이 cost와 benefit 차원에서 더 경제적이며, 2) 조선업체는 application module 혁신을 위해 사용자 need를 알고 있는 설계자와 CAD system 을 이해하고 있는 system 기술자로 구성된 팀 혹은 CoP를 통해 자체 개발하고 있고, 일부는 제3자 CAD application 업체에 위탁개발하기도 하며, 3) 조선과 같이 매우 복잡한 부품과 설계 및 제조 프로세스로 구성된 complex product system에서의 사용자 혁신은 자신의 암묵적인 노하우를 외부로 노출하지 않는 동시에 자사의 설계에서부터 제조, 구매, engineering, 그리고 경영 프로세스에 이르기까지 하나의 통합된 system 을 가능하게 함으로써 일정의 단축과 오작의 감소로 인한 품질과 원가경쟁력에 큰 기여를 하는 것으로 나타났으나, 4) 사용자 혁신이 일어나고 있는 CAD platform 자체가 대부분 외국계 전문업체 vendor 에 의해 지배되고 있고, CAD 기술의 진화(Solid 3D 등)로 인해 platform 자체가 변화함에 따라 그 위에서 진행되고 있는 application module 의 sustainability 가 위협받고 있다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 본 연구는 정부의 기술혁신 지원 정책과 기업의 혁신 전략에 대한 시사점을 제안하고 있다.

일반적으로 통신 산업에서 기술혁신은 매우 활발하게 이루어지는 반면 조직혁신은 상대적으로 미진하게 진행된다. 왜냐하면 조직혁신은 사업전략의 변화와 달리 변화의 도입과정을 거쳐 정착단계에 이르기까지 많은 비용과 시간이 소요되는 과정이기 때문이다. 그러나 조직혁신 과정이 많은 비용과 시간이 소요된다고 할지라고 급변하는 환경 변화 하에서 기업의 비전을 효율적으로 달성하기 위해서는 기업의 사업목표에 적합한 조직구조와 문화의 정착이 선결되어야 한다. 따라서 본 연구는 조직혁신에 관한 이론 및 모형 고찰을 통하여 통신사업자의 바람직한 조직혁신 방안을 도출하고자 하는 것을 목적으로 하고 있다. 이를 위해 조직혁신 분석 모형을 개발하고, 이 모형을 통해 통신사업자의 조직${\cdot}$구성원 ${\cdot}$기업문화 등의 혁신을 위한 방안을 도출하였다는 점에서 그 의의가 있다고 하겠다. 그러나 통신 사업자들을 위한 성공적 조직혁신 방안이 다른 산업 분야의 조직혁신 방안과 뚜렷한 차별화를 보이지 못하고 있다는 점과 통신 사업자들을 대상으로 하는 실증적 분석이 제대로 이루어지지 못했다는 점에서 그 한계점이 있다고 하겠다. 향후 본 연구를 기반으로 하는 연구에서는 좀 더 구체적인 통신 사업자들을 위한 차별화된 전략적 대안 및 구체적 실행 방안 도출이 요구되며, 주요 통신 사업자들을 대상으로 하는 내부설문 등을 통해 사업자의 구성원들이 필요로 하는 조직혁신 방안을 도출할 필요가 있다.

Recent studies focus on how open innovation strategies affect innovation in enterprises, but lack research related to the forms of openness. There is also a paradox that an entity should open up for open innovation but also protect its innovation. In this regard, the need for research on innovation protection has expanded. Therefore, this study looked at the effect of the form of openness on product innovation, and explored how the relationship between the form of openness and product innovation depends on the appropriation mechanisms. This study used data from the Korean Innovation Survey(KIS), which was developed and distributed by the OECD. The main findings of this study are summarized as follows. First, the forms of openness has a positive effect on product innovation. Specifically, external search has had a positive impact on exploitative innovation, and collaboration has shown to have a positive impact on exploratory innovation. Second, the appropriation mechanisms has a positive moderating effect on the relationship between the forms of openness and product innovation. Specifically, it was shown that formal appropriation mechanisms had a positive effect on the relationship between external search and product innovation, and that informal appropriation mechanisms had a positive effect on the relationship between collaboration and exploratory innovation. This study is expected to contribute to: First, this study has divided the forms of openness into external search and collaboration, unlike the existing method, and thus identified the type of product innovation and the appropriation mechanisms and forms of openness by identifying the impact on product innovation. Second, depending on the characteristics of the appropriation mechanisms, it was identified that it had the moderating effect on the forms of openness and the relationship of product innovation, so that depending on the type of openness and the type of product innovation, the type of appropriation mechanisms more suitable was identified.

Creativity, entrepreneurship, and technological innovation orientation are key factors for technological innovation. The main driver of technological innovation in the enterprise is the executives of the firm. According to the Upper Echelons Theory of D.C. Hambrick(2007), the creativity of the managerial individual will be put into various aspects within the organization's innovation system. The organizational innovation system is positively influenced by the creativity of the executives, and is achieved by manifesting innovation orientation and technological innovation orientation with innovative performances. The purpose of this study is to investigate using Structural Equation Modeling(SEM), whether individual creativity of executives of 132 companies with research organizations among domestic semiconductor companies in Korea influences innovation performance of firms through entrepreneurship orientation and technology innovation orientation. We applied the personal creativity level measurement index, the entrepreneurial orientation measurement factor, and the technology innovation orientation measurement factor identified in the previous research literature. The results of the Structural Equation Modeling analysis show that the creativity of executives have a positive (+) relationship with the innovation performance of firms when they are only mediated by technological innovation orientation, and entrepreneurial orientation. On the other hand, the results of the SEM shows the direct effects between the creativity of executives and innovation performance are not statistically valid. As a result, the individual creativity of executives who lead the innovation of the firm, entrepreneurial orientation, and technological innovation orientation of the researcher organization are very important factors and an inseparable relationship for the successful innovation of the firms.

This paper aims to analysis sectoral innovation patterns of technological innovation and localized knowledge spillover in Korean manufacturing sector. Sectoral innovation system approach proposed that the specific pattern of innovative activity and knowledge spillover in an industry can be explained as the outcome of different technological regimes. Technological regime is defined by the particular combination of technological opportunities, appropriability of innovations, cumulativeness of technical advances and properties of the knowledge base. Based on a sample of 2,882 firms in manufacturing sector, this paper provides empirical estimates of the relationships between firm's product innovation and localized knowledge spillover. Results of the analysis provide considerable support to the hypothesis that firm's product innovation and localized knowledge spillover are related to the nature of the underlying technological regime. In the industry based on the tacit and specific knowledge, firm's product innovation is positively related to the localized knowledge spillover. This paper also shows that high stability in the ranking of innovators are related to high degrees of cumulativeness and appropriability.

Despite the important role of the transformational leadership and Creative Climate to achieve firms' sustainable competitive advantage, there has been limited empirical studies linking the transformational leadership and creative climate in employee's innovative performance. This study investigated the impact of transformational leadership on innovative performance based on employees of R&D department in IT services. This paper also investigated the mediating role of creative climate and moderating role of employee's innovative tendency in this relationship. Main findings of our empirical analysis are as follows. While the relationships between transformational leadership and innovative performance was positively associated, creative climate had positive effect on innovative performance. As expected, we also found that the creative climate had positively mediated the relationship between transformational leadership and innovative performance. Also, the innovative tendency has statistically significant moderating effect on this relationship. Based on the findings, we have suggested theoretical and practical implications while future research directions with limitations of the research are discussed.

The innovation activity is an important factor for sustained growth in nations and firms. Particularly, the problem of appropriation of results of the innovative activity is very important for innovators since it enables them to enjoy the profits generated by their innovations. This study is intended to empirically analyse relative preference of patent and secrecy that is affected by characteristics of innovators and results of innovation using data from '2005: The Korean Innovation Survey' and Ordered Logit method. As a result of this study, the preference for a specific mechanism is clearly revealed in product innovation rather than process innovation. Also, in most research, questions results of analysis are equal to the previous studies and the nature of appropriation methods. However, the result of a research question based on sources of information is very different from previous researches. This study utilized more recent data than previous studies. This result reflects that existing patterns have been changed during recent period.

FDI has been considered as a source of competitive advantage by bringing scientific and technological innovation capabilities to domestic firms via organizational learning. Acquiring knowledge and technology by learning accelerates firms to be innovative. In the way of innovation, firms seek for innovation as a whole but innovation can be clarified as two different parts, product and process innovation. Different from product and process innovation, organizational innovation is not directly related to productivity or outcome but it is closely related to product and process innovations. As a kind of firm innovation, organizational innovation may be considered as preceding product and process innovation and it may positively mediate the relationship between in-bound FDI and firms' product and process innovations. In this paper, the relationship between FDI and product and process innovation will be explained by organizational learning and the way of organizational innovation affects to the relationship will be examined.
