The application of computers and information technologies progressed with remarkable pace has paved the way for technological innovation toward the efficient integration of various functions in a manufacturing system. Actually it is observed that the greater part of manufacturing companies already initiated significant efforts to integrate information systems and attained the level of integration to some extent. The purpose of this paper is to clarify the strategic direction that manufacturing firms are pursuing through integrating information systems. Using the extensive data gathered from Japanese manufacturers, it is attempted to find the differences in competitive priorities and action programmes between the companies with high and low-level system integration. Our empirical data reveals that the manufacturers with highly integrated system are focusing their competitive capabilities on the rapid design change and new product introduction, and accordingly they place a greater emphasis on the action programmes related to design, process and quality improvement. As a conclusion, highly integrated firms tend to pursue new product development strategy more intensively, thereby they want to be a preemptor in the new market through exploiting technological advantages of integrated manufacturing system.

Smart factory has been regarded as a big opportunity for manufacturing industries. However, little literature has been studied for the current status of Korean smart factory. Our paper tries to find gaps between research and real world by summarizing the recent literature and cases in Korean context. As the present level of smart factory introductions in Korean small manufacturing firms is lower than what a variety of literature says, our study points out that more efforts, investments and government support are required to catch up with the knowhow and technologies of developed countries although real-time control, enhanced productivity have been obtained. In future research, we will continue the smart factory study with the accumulated real data.

Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to examine the determinants of non-bank depository institutions (non-bank financial corporations) lending to firms. The paper aims to contribute to the existing literature by providing empirical evidence from firm-level data and unveiling factors related to access to non-bank financial corporations by firms. Research design, data, and methodology - We used the data on borrowing by firms from CRETOP from years 2008 to 2011. Using the manufacturing industry, we examined what firm-level characteristics explained the increase in borrowing from non-bank financial corporations rather than the banks. Results - Analyzing the firm-level data from 2008 to 2011, we found that firms were more likely to borrow from non-bank financial insti­tutions as the size of the firm increases, implying that large firms have more access to non-bank financing than small and medium-sized firms. In addition, it also showed that small and medium-sized firms moved to non-bank financial corporations for loans. Conclusion - Non-bank depository institutions are not a sub­stitute for bank lending to firms. More specifically, they replace bank lending to firms mostly for large firms rather than small and medium-sized firms. Also, collateral and other firm-level characteristics do not matter in accounting for non-bank lending to firms.

본 연구는 외국인지분율과 경영자 보상 및 미래 기업성과 간의 관련성을 실증분석하고자 한다. 본 연구에서는 2007~2014년까지 한국 코스닥시장에 상장된 수출제조업종의 중소기업들을 중심으로 외국인지분율, 경영자 현금보상 자료와 재무자료를 이용하였다. 주요 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 한국 수출제조 중소기업은 ROE, 영업이익률 등의 측면에서 대체로 수익성이 매우 낮은 것으로 분석되었다. 또한 외국인지분율도 평균 3.77%로서 매우 낮은 비중을 차지하고 있었다. 둘째, 경영자보상이 높은 기업의 경우 오히려 영업이익률, ROE 등 미래의 기업 성과가 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 이에 따라 수출제조 중소기업의 지배구조와 소유구조는 소유경영자 체제인 특성으로 인해 경영자 초과보상이 높고 과신감이 높은 경우 기업 실적의 악화로 이어지는 것으로 보인다. 셋째, 미래 1년 및 3년간의 누적초과수익률과의 관계에서도 경영자 보상이 높은 기업이 상대적으로 수익률이 저조하게 나타나서 주식시장에서의 가치평가도 단기적으로 뿐만 아니라 장기적으로 낮은 것으로 해석된다. 넷째, 경영자보상과 경영자 과신감 간에는 양(+)의 관계가 나타나서, 경영자 보상과 기업 성과 간의 음(-)의 관계는 초과보상을 상대적으로 많이 받는 수출제조 중소기업의 소유경영자가 과신감으로 인해 오히려 미래의 기업 성과에는 부정적인 영향을 끼치는 것으로 해석된다. 결론적으로 경영자보상 기준으로 상위 10% 기업그룹에 속한 경영자들이 가장 높은 현금보상율 내지 과신감을 보이는 가운데, 보상-성과 간의 음(-)의 관계가 높은 보상을 받는 과신감을 가진 소유경영자들에 대해 가장 강하게 나타나고 있었다. 이러한 결과들은 향후 과신감을 가지는 한국 수출제조 중소기업의 소유경영자에 대한 감독체계와 함께 보상체계가 새로이 합리적으로 정립될 필요가 있음을 시사한다.

본 연구에서는 기업의 외부 지식 탐색 전략과 혁신활동 성과의 관계를 규명하였다. 광범위하고(external search breadth) 심도 있는 (external search depth) 외부 지식 탐색 전략이 제품혁신에 긍정적인 효과가 있다는 것을 밝힌 기존 연구를 확장하여, 혁신의 또 다른 중요 유형인 공정혁신과 조직혁신에 미치는 영향을 함께 살펴보았다. 특히, 외부 지식 탐색 전략이 혁신에 어떠한 영향을 미치는가를 벤처기업과 비벤처기업으로 구분하여 한국 기술혁신조사(KIS) 2010년 제조부문 자료를 사용해 실증적으로 분석하였다. 비벤처기업의 경우 광범위한 외부 지식 탐색과 심도 있는 외부 지식 탐색은 제품, 공정, 조직혁신활동 성과에 모두 긍정적 영향을 미치는 것으로 분석되었다. 반면 두 가지 외부 지식 탐색은 벤처기업의 조직혁신활동 성과에는 긍정적인 영향을 미쳤으나, 제품혁신과 공정혁신활동 성과에 있어서는 심도 있는 외부 지식 탐색만이 긍정적 영향을 미친다는 결론을 도출하였다.

Purpose - International strategic alliance has been regarded as a strategic decision made by firms' managerial problems and ensure performance growth. From the perspective of the proactive behavior for changing strategies in a global market, this study aims to identify whether performance feedback influences firms' decisions to pursue strategic alliances. This study examines the effects of performance feedback on performance when firms use strategic alliances. Design/methodology - To analyze the impact of performance feedback on forming an international strategic alliance, this study adopt the concept of performance feedback to develop a research model and our hypotheses. Thus, this study used a two-stage least squares unbalanced panel data analysis with random effects. This study is based on 24,543 observations from Korean manufacturing firms from 2007 to 2016. Findings - The results show that firms pursue the formation of strategic alliances more actively, if their past financial and R&D performance are lower than their aspiration level, based on the result of performance feedback. An in split sample analysis for examining the effect of a firm's technology sophistication based on the OECD's classification, negative innovation performance discrepancy has positive effects on the probability of international alliance in high-tech and medium-high-tech industries. Financial performance also improves when a firm decides to form a strategic alliance based on the results of performance feedback. Originality/value - This research extends recent efforts to better understand the effect of performance feedback on firms' performance when they use strategic alliances. These findings suggest that the CEOs and managers of firms should consider the performance feedback perspective when deciding to pursue a strategic alliance to improve performance. In other words, the decision-makers in a firm must analyze and consider various complex variables inside and outside the firm and expand such subjects of examination to more complex and dynamic factors.

To regain competitive advantages in the global textile industry the Korean textile firms need to strategically collaborate each other on developing partnership relations. This study, as a first step for developing a futuristic partnership between textile firms, examined the characteristics of current partnership relations among textile firms in Daegu and Gyeongbuk regions. Data were obtained from 163 textile firms in the region by a questionnaire survey. More than a half of the textile firms had a partnership experience in product manufacturing and wanted to have one in product development. Partnerships with firms in the same sub-industry showed the highest frequency even though various pairs were observed. Length of partnership was related with the history and size of the firm but not with partnership performance. Partnership itself affected neither the firm's perception of its competitive power nor the perceived intensity of industry competition.

This study explores the effects of technology innovation activity on a profitability and the default risk of firms. Sample for this study consists of manufacturing firms listed on the Korea Stock Exchange from 1st January 2000 to 31st December 2007. We use of R&D ratio as a proxy of technology innovation activity. The default probability proxied for the default risk of firms is measured by the Merton's (1974) model where accounts for a market value of firms and a volatility of it. This study provides evidence that technology innovation activity has a positive effect on a profitability, but a negative effect on the default risk of firms. Our study also finds the significant mediation effect of profitability that the enhancement in profitability resulting from technology innovation activity lowers the default risk of firms.

Purpose - This paper empirically investigates what factors contribute to management decisions by corporate governance in the Korean stock market. In the paper, dividends and investments were imployed as management decisions and major stockholders' shares and foreign investors' shares were used as corporate governance. Research design, data, and Methodolog - Samples are constructed by manufacturing firms listed on the stock market of Korea as well as those who settle accounts in December from 2001 to 2018. Financial institutions are excluded from the sample as their accounting procedures, governance and regulations differ. This study adopted the panel regression model to assess the sample construction including yearly and cross-sectional data. Results - This results support the literatures that major shareholders showed insignificance to dividends, positive significance to investment in financially unconstrained firms and negative significance to investment in financially constrained firms. Whereas foreign investors favor firms to increase dividends but they decrease investments only in financially constrained firms. Conclusion - This paper documented evidence that financial constrained firms use dividends for their investment and foreign investors decrease investments under financial constraints. But for dividends decisions, foreign investors give significant positive impacts irrespective of financial constraints.
