This aim of the study is to show the necessity of implementing an industrial innovation strategy with consideration given to characteristics of the industrial technology. The relationship between industrial technological characteristics and innovation performance is analyzed by using an innovation survey as well as a human capital corporate panel (HCCP). The time-lag effect is also examined. Findings of the analysis show that high-tech industries have entered the post catch-up technology innovation stage in the mid-2000s, but low-tech industries still seem to stay in the catch-up stage. In terms of technology policy, the additional technology innovation support policy should focus on enhancing the innovation capability of the middle and low technology industries, since high technology industries are already developing their own innovation capability. It is necessary to strengthen capacity building through technical cooperation with technology consulting, rather than providing technical support through suppliers.

The explosion in creation and utilization of IP including Patent since 1980s has been regarded as typical trend affecting the environment for technological innovation. Korea also has shown massive creation of IP. These stimulate the focused interest on the effectiveness of IP for protecting the innovation output. We try to analyze the determinants of this effectiveness in Korean manufacturing sector in terms of the charactenstics of firm's innovation strategy. It is shown that, for protection for product innovation, as being larger, and as having made innovation, the IP protection is regarded as effective, and firms making cooperative R&D have a higher possibility of using IP protection. And larger firms give a higher recognition to effectiveness of IP protection irrespective of the types of innovation such as product innovation and process innovation.

오늘날처럼 경영환경의 불확실성이 주는 제약과 위협요인을 슬기롭게 극복하기 위한 방안으로 경영자의 기업가 정신과 혁신이 강조되고 있다. 환경 불확실성이 높을수록 기업은 환경에 적합한 변화가 요구되며, 이러한 변화를 위해서는 기업가 정신과 혁신이 요구되기 때문이다. 이에 본 연구는 기업가 정신, 기술혁신, 혁신성과의 구조적 관계를 연구모형으로 제시하고, 중소기업을 대상으로 자료를 수집하여 실증적으로 분석하였다. 실증분석 결과 기업가 정신은 기술혁신에, 기술혁신은 혁신성과에 긍정적인 영향을 주는 인과관계가 유의하게 나타났다. 또한 기업가 정신이 혁신성과에 영향을 주는 관계는 유의하지 않고 기술혁신을 통해 혁신성과에 영향을 주는 기술혁신의 매개효과가 통계적으로 유의하였다. 이를 통해 기업가 정신은 기술혁신과 같은 혁신활동을 통해 기업의 성과로 이러진다는 사실을 발견하였다. 본 연구에서는 기업가 정신과 기술혁신의 필요성을 강조하였고, 기업가 정신은 기술혁신과 같은 경영활동으로의 내재화를 통해 성과로 이어진다는 것을 시사점으로 제안하였다.

본 연구에서는 전후 선진국을 중심으로 이루어진 기술혁신정책의 기조변화와 그것을 반영하고 또 선도하는 기술혁신이론의 전환을 살펴보았다. 1980-90년대를 전후해서 등장한 새로운 기술혁신정책의 기조는 사용자 지향성의 강화, 임무지향성에서 경제 사회 지향성으로의 전환, 능력의 향상 등으로 요약될 수 있다. 한편 정책기조의 이와 같은 변화는 혁신체제론을 통해 기술혁신이론에 반영되었다. 상호작용적 학습과 혁신능력을 중심으로 논의를 전개하고 있는 혁신체제론은 이러한 기술혁신정책의 변화를 이론체계 내에 상당부분 수용하였다. 그러나 최근 기술혁신정책에서 강조되고 있는 사회적 측면들은 아직까지 혁신체제론에서 본격적으로 다루어지지 않고 있다. 이 글에서는 향후 혁신체제론의 중요한 연구과제 중의 하나를 '사회'를 이론체계 속에 포괄하는 것으로 파악하고 그러한 작업을 위한 출발점이 될 수 있는 논의를 다루었다.

본 연구는 최근 교육시장의 벤처기업이나 사내 벤처를 위한 혁신기술로 부상하고 있는 스마트러닝(Smart Learning)의 혁신저항에 대하여 연구하였다. 스마트러닝 학습 방법에 대한 지각된 혁신 특성의 상대적 이점, 복잡성 및 적합성이 혁신저항에 유의한 영향을 미치는지 알아보았다. 이어서 기존 학습법에 대한 태도와 지각된 자기효능이 혁신저항에 유의한 영향을 미치는지 알아보았다. 그리고 이용자의 이러한 혁신저항이 향후 이용에 영향을 미치는지 알아보았고, 인구통계에 따라 조절효과가 나타나는지 살펴보았다. 구조방정식 모형을 사용하여 분석한 결과, 상대적 이점만을 제외한 모든 요인이 혁신저항에 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 이를 통해 혁신저항 역시 향후 이용의도에 유의한 영향을 미친다는 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

It is generally understood that clusters are the promoters of innovation and therefore, the attention of researchers has been increasingly to discern the factors driving innovation among the firms in a cluster, especially in a high-tech cluster. In this study, we identify the variables capturing the nature of a firm that possibly impact the absorptive capacity of a firm and subsequently ascertain their impact on the degree of interactions between a firm, and other firms and associated institutions within and outside a cluster, respectively. Furthermore, we probe the influence of these interactions as a whole on firm-level innovation. The study was carried out in the context of Bengaluru, which houses the densely interconnected network of innovation-intensive high-tech manufacturing firms forming a high-tech manufacturing cluster. Data were drawn from 101 high-tech manufacturing firms belonging to electronics, machine tools, electrical and pharmaceutical industries. Based on the cluster analysis and subsequent graphical analysis on each of the three profiled clusters, it was found that size and origin of a firm have significant impact on the degree of firm's interactions. In turn, higher dynamism of firms in terms of degree of interactions led to higher innovation performance.

There have been many studies that open innovation activities have positive effects on firm performance. However, the previous studies have shown conflicting results, depending on the characteristics of companies or the timing of the product launch. This study empirically compares open innovation performance of first-mover companies and follower companies. The analyses are performed on the samples of the Korean Innovation Survey 2010 companies that explored external information and performed R&D cooperation. The results indicate that open innovation activities can have different effects depending on a company's status in the market. For the first-mover companies, the intensity of utilizing external information has greater impact on the firm's performance than the diversity of it. By contrast, for the follower companies, the diversity of utilizing external information has greater impact on the firm's performance than the intensity of it. In terms of R&D cooperation, the external cooperation is found not to have significant effects on a first-mover company's performance. However, external R&D cooperation of a follower company is showing positive impact on the firm's performance. The implication of the study is to analyze the firm's Open-Innovation performance by comparing first-mover companies with follower companies. Therefore, companies need to execute the Open-Innovation strategy by considering firm characteristics or the timing of the product launch.

This study explores the effects of exports on the innovation of Korean firms listed on two Korean stock markets, the Korean Stock Exchange and the Korean Securities Dealers Quotations, between 1999 and 2016. By matching exporting firms to non-exporting ones with propensity score matching, this study accounts for a problem from sample selection bias that may arise from differences in firm-characteristics between the two groups. From the study results, first, both export participation and export volume significantly increase subsequent innovation performance, as measured by the number of patent applications. This result seems to support the "learning by exporting" hypothesis for Korean listed firms. Second, both export participation and export volume narrow innovation scope, proxied as the number of unique International Patent Classification (IPC) codes of the patent applied, the degree to which patents are concentrated in a particular class, and the degree of proximity in the patents. The findings of innovation scope suggest a possible explanation that the learning effect appears in familiar technology fields that firms have previously held, rather than in unfamiliar ones. Third, these results are robust using alternative proxies in the innovation scope, Tobit regressions to consider the non-trivial portion of sample firms with patent applications equal to zeros, and generalized method of moments (GMM) to control for the persistence of innovation measures hearing over years. Finally, the two main results are more pronounced in large firms than in small and medium-sized ones. As for Chaebol firms, however, these results do not appear.

Purpose - This study investigates the effects of going public on the innovation of KOSDAQ firms. Design/methodology/approach - This study uses firms that go public from 2007 to 2011 in Korea. We compare a firm's innovation performance over five years before and after IPO. Findings - We find that firm's innovation declines after an IPO. After going public, both the quality and the quantity of patents are decreased. However, this decrease is alleviated in high-tech industries or concentrated industries where innovation is expected to be more valuable. When comparing firms with venture capital(VC), which are more likely to window dress, to firms without VC, VC backing has no meaningful impact on changes of innovation. Research implications or Originality - As the KOSDAQ market was established to provide small and medium enterprises(SMEs) with funds for firm's investments and growth, it is necessary to verify whether the capital raised at the IPO encourages innovation. Thus, our study contributes to the literature by examining empirically whether an IPO boosts a firm's innovation.
