An existing risk diagnosing methodology (RDM) diagnoses corporate risk for product-innovation projects. However, it cannot evaluate and compare the risk levels of multiple alternatives in the product development stage. This paper proposes a modified risk diagnosis method to fill the gap of risk evaluation in selections of innovative product alternatives and the application of the method will be also illustrated by a case problem on alternative selections in electrical dimmer designs. With RDM as the foundation, a modified RDM (MRDM) is proposed to deal with the problem of selecting innovative project alternatives during the early stages of product development. The Bayesian network; a probabilistic graphical model, is adopted to support the risk pre-assessment stage in the MRDM. The MRDM is proposed by incorporating the risk pre-assessment stage into the foundation. By evaluating the engineering design risks in two electrical dimmer switches, an application of the MRDM in product innovation development is successfully exemplified. This paper strengthens the existing methodology for RDM in innovative product development projects to accommodate innovative alternatives. It is advantageous for companies to identify and measure the risks associated in product development so as to plan for appropriate risk mitigation strategies.

This study compared and analyzed the affective areas between innovative elementary schools and ordinary elementary schools for the development of Bitgoeul Innovation School in Gwangju Metropolitan City. The subjects of analysis were 318 freshman who graduated from innovative elementary school and 435 freshman who graduated from ordinary elementary schools. Students' self-esteem, antisociality, anxiety, and stress were compared between innovative schools and ordinary schools, and multiple regression analysis was conducted using the correlation between variables with self-esteem as a dependent variable and the others as independent variables. The results of study were as follows: First, the correlation of affective variables of freshman who graduated from each of the two types of schools showed a similar tendency. Second, in both schools, as the independent variable antisociality, anxiety, and stress increased, the dependent variable self-esteem decreased.

The competitive nature of enterprises requires organizations to foster an environment that encourages employee innovation that leads to profitability and customer satisfaction. Organizational innovation is influenced by several factors with employee behaviour being one of the important factors. Employees contribute in the innovation process and thus, it is important for organizations to understand employee expectations to demonstrate innovative work behaviour in order to create and maintain an innovative work culture. In the present study, a conceptual model based on culture, reward and program, training, compensations, leadership and systems was tested to assess that impact on employee expectations leading to innovative work behaviour. The study was conducted in the context of city-state of Singapore due to its significant emphasis on promoting and nurturing employee innovation. The model was tested using empirical data collected through a survey of employees in Singapore. The results indicate that while culture, rewards and training programs have a direct relationship on employee expectations to demonstrate innovative work behaviour, when considered together, leadership and systems are significantly and positively associated with employee expectations. These factors are usually under the control of organizations and can be enhanced through systematic interventions, thereby providing practice managers an avenue to improve employee innovation behaviour. The other implications of the findings and future scope are discussed.

The purpose of this study verifies: the relationships between trust in supervisor and innovative behavior, and mediator effect of the organizational commitment(affective commitment, continuance commitment). In order to verify the relationships and mediator effect, data obtained from 140 employees working in business office in Ulsan Metropolitan City and they were analyzed by using SPSS 12.0. The findings are as follows: First, the relationship between trust in supervisor and the organizational commitment(affective commitment, continuance commitment) is positively related. Second, there was also a positive correlation between affective commitment and innovative behavior. Finally, affective commitment played as a partial mediator on the relationship between trust in supervisor and innovative behavior. However, there was no empirical evidence for the mediating effect of continuance commitment on the relationship between trust in supervisor and innovative behavior. Based on these findings, the implications and the limitations of the study were presented including some directions for future studies.

Jean Renaudie was an French architect who designed many urban social housing in France, especially in the city of Ivry-sur-Seine, near Paris, with Renee Gailhoustet, co-responsible as the architect of this city, communist city from long time. He was formed as an architect by the influence of Auguste Perret and Marcel Lods, two french architects, great specialist of the structure of concrete. He formed the Atelier Montrouge with Pierre Riboulet, Gerard Thurnauer, Jean-Louis Verret, and proposed many innovative projects, based on geometrically pure forms and masses. After he joined Renee Gailhoustet, the architect of the City of Ivry-sur-Seine, as a co-responsible for the redevelopment of this ideologically communist city. His urban housing concept approached to take the function as a space to welcome the urban life of the resident, not to offer the physical provision of housing repeating the simple housing unity. He accentuated the social role of Housing project not only as the level of a personal home but also as that of an urbanism. He offered divers choice opportunity to the citizen by the urban functional complex through his efforts to make characteristic complex of urban housing, and by the consequence, the innovative result was done which ameliorated the quality of life for resident. This is an exceptional example, not only in France but even in whole over the world. But the maintenance of building against the oldness and the closing shop of inside commercial zone of Jeanne Hachette became a problem, not only that of physical amelioration but also that of spiritual conservation of the works of Jean Renaudie.
