Japanese firms have developed their own distinctive human resource management(HRM) practices for R&D scientists and engineers. These practices consist of homogeneity of work group, standardized in-house training programs, great standardization and company control of careers, and broad job rotation following the process of commercialization of developed technology. These practices facilitate human and informational exchange and sharing between basic laboratories and development departments as well as between R&D and marketing department which contribute to the ket competitive advantage of Japanese products. But recently Japanese firm are forced to change their HRM practices. They face some srious problems in continuing their long0standing strategy of being a rapid and skillful‘ technology follower’,drawing on the basic research performed in the advanced nations and embodying it in products that are produced with high quality at relatively lower cost. There is a growing trend of strengthening basic research among Japanese firms today. In accordance with the emphasis on basic research, Japanese firms have been adopting new HRM practices for scientists and engineers which are in the opposite direction of the traditional one. These newly developed practices stress on individual vitality rather than group cohesiveness from the fusion of individual difference. These include heterogeneity of work group, multiple career paths to be chosen by individuals, incentive plan based individual performance.

Service innovation is considered a new way to gain competitive advantage and enhance firm performance. However, service innovation does not always guarantee the desired outcome. The effective organization and management of well-planned service innovation practices, which are consistent with the firm's business environment, become a critical challenge for service innovation success. In addition, an increasing number of studies have focused on the role of information technology (IT) capability in service innovations. Most studies on service innovation have focused on the influences of the strategic alignment and IT capability separately. In contrast, the current study combines them by investigating the positive moderating effect of IT capability on the alignment between business strategy and service innovation strategy. Based on data collected from 183 service firms in Korea, we first explore the effect of service innovation strategies when coupled with different business strategies on better firm performance. We then investigate the moderating effect of IT capability on the relationship between strategic alignments and firm performance. Empirical evidence indicates that a synergistic effect between alignment and IT capability on firm performance exists. Firms that have aligned service innovation strategy with business strategy should consider improving their organizational IT capability to ensure substantial leverage.

본 연구는 벤처중소기업의 조직여유와 개방형 경영혁신 간의 관계에서 사회적 자본의 조절효과를 분석하기 위한 실증분석 연구이다. 즉 기업규모, 기업연령, 환경 불확실성을 통제한 뒤, 다음의 두 가지 가설을 검증하였다. 첫 번째 가설은 벤처중소기업의 조직여유(흡수된 여유, 흡수되지 않은 여유)가 개방형 경영혁신에 유의한 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 지 여부이다. 두 번째 가설은 벤처중소기업의 조직여유(흡수된 여유, 흡수되지 않은 여유)와 개방형 경영혁신 간의 관계에서 사회적 자본이 긍정적인 조절역할을 수행하는 지 여부이다. 이와 같은 가설을 검증하기 위해 설문지법을 사용하여 유효한 250개의 기업수준 데이터를 확보하였다. 또한 실증분석은 SPSS 18.0을 통해 빈도분석, 타당도분석, 신뢰도분석, 상관분석, 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 이러한 실증분석 결과, 두 가지 의미 있는 결과를 도출하였다. 첫째, 벤처중소기업의 조직여유 유형 중 현금, 유가증권 등과 같은 흡수되지 않은 여유는 개방형 경영혁신에 유의한 정(+)의 영향을 미쳤으나, 초과인력, 초과설비 등과 같은 흡수된 여유는 개방형 경영혁신에 유의한 영향을 미치지 않았다. 이는 흡수되지 않은 여유가 흡수된 여유에 비해 유연하고 활동적이어서 개방형 혁신에 긍정적인 영향을 미칠 수 있음을 의미한다. 둘째, 벤처중소기업에서의 사회적 자본은 유연하게 활용 가능한 흡수되지 않은 여유와 개방형 경영혁신 간의 관계를 긍정적으로 조절하는 반면, 이미 조직에 흡수되어 버린 흡수된 여유와 개방형 경영혁신 간의 관계는 조절하지 못함이 나타났다. 이 연구 결과는 사회적 자본과 개방형 혁신 간의 관계를 연구한 기존 선행연구가 거의 없기에 더욱 의미를 가질 것으로 기대된다.

The objective of this paper is to review the mechanics of how global e-trade practices can affect a firm's performance. It is well known that the introduction of global e-trade systems can save transaction costs at the macro level. However this study is extended at micro level by determining whether global trade transaction costs influence positively or negatively in exporting firms performances at firm level. A theoretical framework is suggested for determining the usage and performance of global e-trade with the global e-trade barriers. An empirical analysis of South Korean exporting firms has been undertaken. This paper concludes that the global e-trade has yet to overcome the barriers resulting from the transaction costs and asset specificity. In this regard, appropriate action like intensive education and training program should be implemented in order to make South Korea's global e-trade more matured.

The purpose of this paper is to study on relations between alliance types and firm's characteristics in Korean semiconductor industry to prevent trade disputes. The recognition of firms' business strategies tend to be subjective and there is a limitation to use the guiding principles due to subjectivity. If there are additional guiding principles which view strategic alliances in relation to more objective characteristics associated with firms, such as their size, function, scope, and location, they will be useful tools for executives and managers in their business practices. We analyze strategic alliances how firms; external characteristics become decision factors for selecting appropriate forms of strategic alliances. Previous research works with focus on alliance forms are reviewed, then an analytical framework is described with certain categorization of firms' characteristics and alliance forms.

In recent years, research has begun to place greater emphasis on the strategic use of IT in seeking to build firm's capability, thus innovating firm's business value. Many leading firms have been put efforts to formulate and implement IT governance (ITG) structures, processes, and mechanisms for firm's IT activities. However, recent literatures reviews found that ITG framework have been discussed independently rather than in an integrated and on convergent manner failing to provide comprehensive conceptual framework. The objective of this paper is therefore, to develop a conceptual framework that enable to conduct a comparative ITG case studies. The proposed framework, developed by one of author, has extensively applied in real case study to validate its usefulness and also aims to contribute practitioners to understand how well IT principles are formed within the organization as well as corelate with ITG objectives and ITG execution.

The outbreak of the financial crisis, the lack of corporate governance practices in Iraqi companies, the high level of earnings management (EM), and weak firm performance (FP) have all encouraged the purpose of this study. This study proposes to achieve the following objectives: (I) to investigate the influence of governance mechanisms on the earnings management practices, (II) to investigate the consequence of EM on FP. The study sample includes 65 Iraqi firms listed on the Iraqi stock exchange for six years from 2012 to 2018, with 390 firm-year observations. The hypotheses were tested using panel data regression. According to the findings, Iraqi companies prefer to use real EM rather than accruals EM to avoid reporting losses. Discretionary cash flow, production costs, and cash flow from operation are examples of actual operations employed to undertake EM. Furthermore, according to the findings of this study, board meeting frequency and female onboard have a significant and negative influence on EM. Besides, the internal audit function was found not to affect EM. On the other hand, results revealed a significant and negative relationship between EM and FP. According to the study, management prefers to minimize cash and accrual expenditure during the economic downturn.

본 연구는 세무조사추징세액을 공시한 기업을 대상으로 세무조사공시 전후에 기업가치의 차이가 있는지 살펴보는 연구이다. 세무조사로 인한 세무조사 추징세액은 거액의 현금 유출을 수반하며 이로 인하여 기업가치가 낮아질 가능성이 있다. 그러나 세무조사로 인한 외부감시기능은 기업의 투명성을 증가시켜 기업가치를 오히려 증가시킬 수도 있다. 세무조사로 인하여 탈세액을 추징하는 과정에서 과도한 접대비, 회계장부의 조작, 경영자 등과의 부적절한 거래 등 많은 기업가치에 부정적인 요소들이 상세히 공개되므로 기업경영의 투명성이 제고될 수 있다. 이러한 기업투명성의 제고는 기업의 대리인비용을 감소시켜 기업가치를 높일 수 있다. 연구 결과 세무조사공시 직전년도에 비하여 세무조사공시 후 년도에 기업가치가 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 세무조사라는 행위가 현금흐름유출이라는 기업가치에 음(-)의 영향을 줄 수 있는 가능성에 불구하고 오히려 기업의 긍정적인 영향요인이 되고 있다고 할 수 있다. 이러한 결과는 세무조사에 대한 부정적인 시각을 바꾸어야 함을 나타내고 있다. 세무조사가 기업영업 활동을 위축시키지 않을 수 있으며, 오히려 세무조사가 기업가치에 긍정적인 영향을 준다고 설명할 수 있다. 따라서 기업은 세무조사를 기업가치 상승의 기회로 삼아야 한다.
