The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of factors hampering innovation on firm's R&D cooperation. We classify the obstacles to innovation into lack of money and information, and also distinguish between horizontal cooperation and vertical cooperation. We argue that different obstacles have a differential effect on the types of R&D cooperation. We examined the hypotheses using KIS (Korea Innovation Survey) data. The results show that deficiency of information is positively related to both vertical and horizontal cooperation, however, lack of money is not related to firm's R&D cooperation. Based on these findings from Korean manufacturing firms, the implications of the results and future research directions are discussed.

Open innovation is known to have a significant impact on the performance of enterprise innovation. The role of open innovation is more critical due to small scale and limitation on the available resources for the venture company. This study focused on the relationship among Entrepreneurship(ENT), Innovation Capability(IC), and External Cooperation(EC), which affect Technological Innovation Performance(TIP) to maximize TIP. Empirical study was proceeded to analyze the relationships among ENT, IC, EC, and TIP for venture companies in Busan. ENT was verified to have a positive impact on IC, EC, and TIP. IC was done on EC and TIP. EC was done on TIP. Each of IC and EC showed positive mediating role in the relationship between ENT and TIP. Finally, IC and EC together performed positive mediating role in the relationship between ENT and TIC.

This paper focuses on effect of technological collaboration and securement of appropriability on product innovation performance. Additionally, moderating effect of appropriability on technological collaboration is investigated by using Korean Innovation Survey 2010 conducted by the Science and Technology Policy Institute in Korea. Result shows that technological collaboration with customer and affiliate affects product innovation performance positively. Appropriability, in addition, not only gives positive effect on product innovation performance by itself, but also it augments the positive effect of technological collaboration on product innovation performance. The results imply that technological collaboration and appropriability are the key determinant for the increase of the product innovation performance; therefore, firms need higher level of technological collaboration invigoration and possession of appropriability. at last, firms require profound insight concerning strategic use of technology protection methods to secure appropriability.

This study was conducted to propose creative innovation systems. The effect that cooperation network factors of innovation system in telecommunications sector called typical knowledge industry have on technological innovation was examined. We used the Korea Corporate Innovation Survey (KIS) Data for this study, it has to apply the OECD NESTI-WPIA methodology for probit analysis. The analysis derived the following findings. First, cooperation between the principal innovations in the telecommunication information generally have a positive impact on innovation. Second, cooperation with private institutions have an important role in technological innovation. Third, the various cooperation exerts a positive impact on innovation and has a greater impact on practical innovation in a low creativity level. With this result, it seems that our technological innovation policy should follow a direction of building corporatist-type system to establish cooperation promotion, privately led innovation, and a variety of opinions.

The public-private partnership concept can encompass a broad range of cooperative relations and a broad variety of programmes in terns of size, objectives and design. This paper aims to analyze the components of public-private partnership mechanisms in the context of science and technology innovation policy. The research methodologies are based on semi-structured interviews with policy makers in four countries with six PPP programme : the France, the Netherlands, the Australia and Austria. It also attempts to understanding of the components that explain the increase of collaboration between national innovation system and PPPs. The taxonomy and essential components of PPPs were identified : mission-oriented PP/Ps, market-Oriented PP/Ps, cluster-oriented PP/Ps, and ISRs-Oriented PP/Ps. The taxonomy of regulatory regime can be a reference point for identifying the relative status of Korea's PPPs.

With the drastic changes toward open innovation, there have been many studies focusing on analyzing the characteristics of open innovation and fostering the open innovation. The most prominent research in open innovation literature is related to the partner selection. In partner selection process, what is important is to identify the expected performance when conducting open innovation with this partner. Therefore, this study suggests an integrative framework of BSC-AHP to support the effective partner selection. The aim of this study is to select the most desirable partner which maximize the performance of the firm after conducing open innovation. This paper employs BSC framework to prepare and characterize relevant decision criteria for the partner selection, and employs AHP to evaluate the partner alternatives under the prepared decision criteria.

The purpose of this research was to investigate the impact of the partner types (supplier, customer, competitor, research institution, more than one partner type) for SMEs on radical and incremental innovation. Another purpose was to examine how the relation varies according to the technological intensity of an industry to which the focal firm belongs. To test the hypotheses, we used the 'KIS(Korean Innovation Survey) 2014' data and the empirical analysis was done with the effective survey from 3,846 Korean SMEs. We employed STATA 14 for validity, confirmatory factor analysis, and binary logistic regression analysis. The results revealed that, when viewed the entire manufacturing SMEs, cooperation with suppliers, customers and research institutes has all been shown to have a positive effect on the radical and gradual innovations of SMEs. However, The relationship between partner type and radical innovation has been significantly different depending on the technical intensity of the industry. When cooperating with suppliers, the impact on radical innovation of SMEs was significant only in low-tech and medium-low tech industries. In contrast, when working with customers, the impact on the radical innovation of SMEs was significant only in the high-tech, medium-high tech, and medium-low tech industries, except for low tech industries. Meanwhile, although cooperation with competitors has a positive effect on radical innovation, this has been only significant in the medium-high tech industries.

This study focused on the study of the moderating effects of absorptive capacity(AC) of venture firms on the technological innovation performance(TIP). For this purpose, this study analyzed the relationship between entrepreneurship(ENT), innovation competence(INC), external cooperation(EXO) and AC affecting the performance of technological innovation activities in venture companies in the area of Busan. As a result of analysis, the AC showed a role of moderating processes, in which ENT have affected the INC, and ENT, INC, and EXO have affected the TIP. Secondly, several relationships which have positively influenced or mediated, have been presented. ENT has positively influenced INC, EXO, & TIC. INC have done so EXC & TIP. EXC have done so TIP. Each of INC and EXC has been positively mediating the relationship between ENT & TIP.

External linkages affect the performance of small and medium enterprises in diverse ways. This study delves into the impact of inter-organizational collaboration by looking at different facets of performance, such as innovation, sales growth, profit growth, and firm survival. In addition, it explores the influence of informal knowledge spillover from collaborative partners as well as from formal collaborations. The impact is carefully investigated by dividing firm samples into three different sectoral innovation categories: supplier-dominant, production-intensive, and science-based sector suggested by Pavitt (1984). The result highlights the different influence pattern of collaborative relations by partner types according to sectoral categories. The positive results of collaborating with universities and public institutions are identified, and the sales growth by customer linkage is witnessed. The impact is apparent in science-based sectors. The result implies that the risk associated with collaborating with competitors may be moderated by linking performance enhancing collaborative linkages with universities and government institutes.
