This paper attempts to find the sources of materials technology innovation and to analyze the relationships between the sources and materials technology innovation. Starting from the traditional hypothesis on the innovation sources (e.g. technology-push, demand-pull and user-supplier), materials scientific knowledges, materials processing technologies and users' needs are found as three main sources of innovation in materials technology. There are not only close interactions between the sources and materials innovation, but also the interactions among the sources of innovations play important roles for materials technology innovation. This paper discusses the characteristics of interactions between sources of innovation in materials technology. This study on the sources and interactions among sources may provide important information for policymaking in materials technology

In this Paper, we analyzed the relative importance of multiple sources and their effects on innovative activities. Through factor analysis, we found 5 sources of innovative activities; university/laboratory source, within firm source, general information source, vertical/competitive relation source, and horizontal relation source. Through regression analysis, we found that (1) 'within firm source' is the most important source on innovative activities, (2) from inputs' point of view, the more 'vertical/competitive relation source' is, the less innovative activities we, (3) from outputs' point of view, innovations are more activated when 'university/laboratory source' is abundant. but, they are less activated when 'general information source' and 'vertical/competitive relation source' is abundant, and (4) according to firm size and innovation stages(newproduct innovation, upgraded product innovation, and process innovation), the effect of sources on innovative activities is different.

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the dynamic characteristics of innovation sources such as scientific knowledges, processing technologies and user's needs in advanced metals technology. The journal articles data of four advanced materials are analyzed; amorphous metals, superplastic materials, shape memory alloys and aluminum-lithium alloy. Some regularities are found from the analysis of the four materials. The innovation proceeds through close interactions among the innovation sources. As the innovation proceeds, the relative importance of each source changes: scientific knowledge initiates the innovation and becomes the most important source in the first phase, then the processing technologies increase importance in the second phase, and then scientific knowledge, again, becomes the leading factor of innovation. Scientific knowledge and processing technology take turns leading the innovation. The impacts of users' needs to the innovation increase more and more as innovation proceeds. The results of analysis imply to the policy makers that emphasis of policy, and therefore the allocation of sources for innovation, should vary along the phases in the life cycle of advanced metals technology.

In recent years many companies have faced with significant environmental changes. To cope with these changes, companies have shown considerable interest and commitment to innovation, In their quest for superior performance, these companies have explored different types and sources of innovation. This study examines how competitive strategy influences companies' emphasis on different innovation types (product, administrative. and process) and sources (incubative, acquisitive and imitative). This study suggests that different strategies are associated with distinct patterns of innovation types and sources. Further, the fit between competitive strategies and innovation types and sources is associated with superior company performance. Based on this concept this study suggests several hypotheses. These hypotheses, if supported by empirical study, will be very useful to the company to improve financial performance.

본 연구는 중소 제조기업에서 가치사슬 외부 및 내부 지식원천들이 급진적 혁신 및 점진적 혁신에 미치는 영향과 지식원천들 간의 상호작용, 그리고 지식원천이 연구개발투자와 상호작용하여 급진적 혁신 및 점진적 혁신에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 기술혁신조사의 원자료를 바탕으로 3,218개의 종단패널데이터를 구성하여 분석한 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 중소 제조기업에서 가치사슬 외부의 지식 원천을 많이 활용할수록 급진적인 혁신성과가 증가하며, 가치사슬 내부의 지식 원천에 관한 채널이 많을수록 점진적인 혁신성과가 증가함을 확인하였다. 둘째, 가치사슬 외부 및 내부의 지식 원천은 혁신성과와 역 U자형 관계가 있음을 실증하였다. 이는 가치사슬 외부의 지식 원천과 혁신성과 간에 수확체감(diminishing returns)의 기제가 작용함을 의미한다. 셋째, 가치사슬 외부의 지식 원천과 내부의 지식원천 간에는 긍정적인 시너지 효과가 존재하여 가치사슬 외부 및 내부 지식 채널이 많아지면 지식원천-혁신성과 간의 관계에서 선형적인 기제(linear mechanism)가 더욱 강화되고 있다. 넷째, 가치사슬 외부 및 내부의 지식원천은 모두 연구개발투자와 급진적 혁신성과 간의 관계에서 시너지를 창출하여 지식원천의 채널을 많이 활용할수록 혁신성과가 더욱 증가하고 있다.

This paper aims to explore the institutional difference between Tsinghua University Science Park (TusPark) in Beijing, and business incubator of Research Institute of Tsinghua University in Shenzhen (RITS), and to examine how the difference leads to different new product performance for tenants. In doing so, we use survey methodology to investigate the innovation sources, university linkages, and innovation outputs of tenants in TusPark and RITS. We found that tenants in RITS reply more on "market-driven" knowledge sources for innovation: including knowledge from customers, suppliers, and competitors. The empirical findings suggest that the technology support provided by RITS and the high dependency on "market-driven" knowledge sources jointly contribute to the better new product performance for tenants in RITS.

Innovation has become a key distinct feature of modern industrial society. It is generally recognized that new knowledge and technology are one of the most important sources of innovation. However, because of their limited resources, firms can not pursue all the promising new knowledge and technology that have possibilities to be developed into critical innovation. In this article, using the stakeholder theory, we try to establish a new conceptual model that can be used for understanding knowledge creation and innovation in society. In a society, there exist diverse socio-economic groups that have conflicting values and interests. Our stakeholder theory perspective on innovation claims that innovation can occur only when new solutions can satisfy their idiosyncratic stakeholder' values and interests better than current existing solutions. From the viewpoint of stakeholder innovation theory, there could be three different types of innovation: value improvement innovation, non-traditional value Innovation, and innovation for non-traditional stakeholder.

Open innovation is based on a different knowledge landscape, with a different logic about the sources and uses of technologies. It implies that firms increasingly rely on external sources of innovation by emphasizing these ideas and resources. Using datasets from the UK biotechnology industry, this paper explores firms' willingness to participate in open innovation. The results indicate that the switching cost is identified as the direct predictor of the willingness to participate in open innovation. While high commitment based on the trust with partner increases switching costs, IT infrastructure within the firm decreases switching costs to open innovation. Taken together, this research broadens the study on open innovation by applying the switching cost as a medium of knowledge transfer in the biotech industry.

This study attempts to explore the difference of innovation sources between high-tech industry and mid-tech industry through patent analysis. After extracting 119 corporates, commonly surveyed in 2007 HCCP(Human Capital Corporate Panel) and 2005~2006 Korea Innovation Survey, their patents applied for the Korean Intellectual Property Office in 2007~2012 are analysed mainly through negative binomial regression model. Analytical results shows that external information source could be opposite effects to technological innovation depending on technological level and industrial characteristics. The current results are still bounded in the statistical significance, mainly due to the limited observations and information.
