A key factor of competitiveness of a firm is technology innovation including product and process innovation. This paper explores the importance and performance of innovation in IT industry across manufacturing and service business. Using importance-performance analysis based on a survey of Korean manufacturing and service firms, we find the characteristics of innovation in IT under the context of industry difference. Out study indicate that Korean IT firms need to recognize the importance of technology innovation and enhance the performance in some areas. In future research, we will expand the boundary of innovation into non-technology innovation as well as service-specific innovation.

Purpose - The purpose of this study is to examine how a broad palette of government support measures and firms' membership in government-developed clusters are related to firms' openness in innovation processes. Design/methodology/approach - Empirically, this study analyzes the Korea Innovation Survey 2018 data on the innovation activities of 1,450 Korean R&D-active manufacturing firms in a three-year period from 2015 through 2017. Findings - The results suggest that firms engage in open innovation to a greater extent--as measured by the breadth of external collaborating partners and of the utilized external sources of knowledge--when they are provided with a broader palette of government support measures and are located in government-developed clusters. However, the effect of diverse government support measures is attenuated for firms located in these clusters. Research implications or Originality - This study contributes to the innovation literature by illuminating how firms' open innovation can be understood in a national innovation system. Moreover, it provides valuable implications for firms seeking to obtain government support and collaborate with others.

In today's dynamic and hypercompetitive business environment, knowledge and innovation have emerged as bases for sustained competitive advantage. This paper addresses two specific research questions. First, we ask, "What is the effect that firm interactivity has on various types of innovation?" As we address this question, we explain that interactivity helps firms create knowledge, which then promotes and enables innovation. Second, we ask, "How do the various types of innovation impact firm performance?" We develop a research model and a set of hypotheses from the basis of organizational knowledge creation theory and the knowledge-based view of the firm. We test this model using survey data, and find that interactivity is positively associated with innovation. We also find that several types of innovation, including service innovation, process innovation, and organizational innovation have a positive impact on firm performance.

경제성장의 핵심요소인 기업의 기술혁신 활동을 지원하기 위해서 정부는 다양한 지원제도를 운용하고 있다. 이와 관련하여 선행연구들은 기술혁신의 결정요인, 지원정책 수단의 효과 등에 대해 다양한 분석결과를 공급자적 관점에서 제시하고 있지만 정책수요자 측면에서의 특성에 관한 연구는 전무한 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 과학기술정책연구원(STEPI)에서 실시한 기술혁신조사(2005) 자료를 활용하여 기술혁신 장애요인과 지원제도 활용간의 영향관계를 로지스틱 회귀분석(Logistic Regression Analysis)을 통해 살펴보았다. 분석결과 지원제도의 유형에 따른 일부 차이에도 불구하고 기술혁신 장애요인이 지원제도 활용에 유의미하게 영향을 미치는 변수임을 확인할 수 있었다. 자금 장애요인이 클수록 기업들은 유형을 불문하고 지원제도를 보다 적극적으로 활용하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 협력 장애요인을 크게 경험하는 기업일수록 기술지도/정보제공 관린 지원제도를 활용할 확률이 높았다.

A recent trend in innovation paradigm is the shift from closed innovation to open innovation principles. This trend is characterized by the use of purposive inflows and outflows of knowledge not only to accelerate internal innovation, but also to expand the markets for external use of innovation. However, the Not-Invented-Here (NIH), and Not-Sold-Here (NSH) or Only-Use-Here (OUH) syndromes are the most common challenges encountered in open innovation processes. Therefore, this study has the following main aims: 1) propose a research model that explains the factors that influence NIH and NSH/OUH attitudes based on motivation theory with perceived organizational fairness and commitment, 2) investigate their impacts on NIH and NSH/OUH attitudes, and 3) provide useful theoretical and practical insights. The proposed research model was empirically tested using survey data collected from information technology (IT) professionals in Korea. One of the major findings indicates that IT professionals' perceived organizational fairness has a negative effect on NIH attitudes in open innovation process. Theoretical and practical contributions of this study are also discussed.

This study was motivated by the attempt to examine from versatile viewpoints the structural relationship between industrial environment, technology orientation and performances which are all factors related to technical innovation of small and medium-sized companies. In this regard, a survey was conducted to investigate the late industrial environment that could have direct and indirect impacts on the technology orientation of small and medium industry and, based on the survey, an analysis was carried out to determine the effects of its technology orientation on the performances in the technological innovation and management. The outcomes of the analysis could be summed up as follows: First, the factors of technology orientation turned out to have influence on those of industrial environment, which suggests the needs for the small and medium industry to consider the factors of industrial environment at multiple levels. Second, the technology orientation was found to influence the performances of technology innovation and management of small and medium industry in a structural manner, which signifies that the small and medium sized companies have to make strategic decision about the preference in the area of technology innovation and management performances.

Purpose: The ability of a firm to acquire resources through marketing networks is crucial for its competitiveness. Nonetheless, the influence of these networks on the performance of a firm's innovation is still uncertain, particularly in the face of environmental uncertainty. This research investigates the impact of marketing networks, specifically network embeddedness and structural holes, on the performance of innovation in situations characterized by environmental uncertainty. Research design, data and methodology: The empirical examination was carried out within the framework of internal network entities, specifically the manufacturer-supplier-sub supplier relationships, involving the primary suppliers of a Korean engineering firm. Construct measures utilized in this study were derived from existing measures and prior research. A questionnaire survey was conducted with a major first-tier supplier of a Korean engineering firm. Proposed hypotheses were tested using structural equation modeling. Results: The survey findings suggest that only network embeddedness has an impact on the perception of major first-tier suppliers regarding the buyer's innovation performance. Conclusions: To strengthen the empirical evidence regarding the effects of marketing networks on innovation performance, future research should take into account cultural factors such as collectivism, which is indicative of the distinctive business-to-business marketing relationships observed in the Korean context.

It goes without saying that the technology innovation plays an important role in the sustainable growth of the firm in the global economy. It, however, is not easy to fulfill this simple and obvious fact. Because there are a lot of barriers hindering innovation activities of firms and innovations are interrupted or don't even attempts by this barriers. So in this paper, I study barriers of firms that try to innovation and how much negative impact exist on firm's innovation performance by that. And also I try to find influence on firm's performance because of declined innovation activities. To prove this, KIS(Korean Innovation Survey) 2008, which was surveyed by STEPI(Science and Technology Policy Institute), is used to find relationships among variables; innovation barriers, innovation activities and firm's performance. In the result, I find that financial barrier influence negatively to the process innovation with small business, capable barrier influence negatively to the process innovation with large business and organizational barrier influence negatively to the process innovation with both small and large business. And, it also appear that organizational barrier has not moderating effect but process efficiency has moderating effect significantly with small business that have more positive effect.

본 연구는 혁신조사를 이용하여 기술체제를 파악하고 기업의 혁신활동 양상을 유형별로 분류하는 방법으로써 지역과 산업을 통합적으로 활용하는 방안을 제안한다. 기존의 연구는 기술체제의 구성요소에 따라 혁신활동을 판별하고 산업분류별로 이를 집계하는 방식을 사용해 왔으나 이러한 방식은 고도화되는 환경에서 산업 내 이질성을 충분히 반영할 수 없다. 이에 본 연구에서는 지역과 산업을 기준으로 기업군을 나눈 뒤 기술체제의 구성요소별 혁신활동 비중에 대한 군집분석을 수행하여 총 네 개의 혁신유형을 도출하였다. 2016년 한국기업혁신조사를 이용하여 제조업의 혁신유형을 분류한 결과 서울, 부산, 인천, 충남/세종/대전을 중심으로 혁신활동이 집중되는 가운데 지역별로 산업별 편차가 다르게 나타남을 확인하였다. 지역별 기업 활동을 가중치로 한 산업 혁신활동 집계 결과는 석유화학제품, 의료·정밀·광학기기 및 시계제조업 등 일부 제조업의 혁신활동 수준은 높지만 제조업 내 다른 부문에서의 혁신 수준은 전반적으로 낮은 것으로 나타났다.
