Since the term smart city was coined, theories and practices of smart cities have flourished. Regarding the theoretical aspect, user-driven innovation has been discussed in studies on the innovation ecosystems of smart cities. Smart cities have been built in various countries around the world in recent years, including in Japan, which has experienced the same global trends in smart cities since 2010. Four smart community projects run by the Agency for Natural Resources and Energy between 2010 and 2014 followed such trends. The present study addressed user-driven innovation using the quadruple helix model as an analytical framework for the four smart community projects, and the outcomes of the projects were evaluated. In conclusion, the smart community projects were evaluated as successful. However, it was revealed that these projects were not completely conducive to user-driven innovation.

박근혜정부의 창조경제는 국민을 창조활동의 주인공으로 자리매김함으로써 기존의 전문가 중심, 과학기술공급중심의 경제사회발전전략과는 다른 특성을 보여주고 있으나 그 해석과 정책 실행에 있어 그 특징을 찾아보기 어렵다. 본 연구는 창조경제가 주목한 국민의 창의성이 과학기술자의 창의성과 무엇이 다르며, 그것이 정책 패러다임으로서 어떤 의미를 갖는지 광범위한 문헌 연구를 통해 밝힘으로써 창조경제가 담아내야 할 도전과 과제를 제시하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 국민은 사용자로서의 창의성에 더불어 인문학적, 철학적, 윤리적, 경험적 능력을 바탕으로 한 생활인/삶의 주체로서의 창의성을 갖고 있으며 이것은 과학기술자의 창의성과는 구분되는 고유의 창의성이라 할 수 있다. 사용자로서의 창의성, 생활인/삶의 주체로서의 창의성의 발현은 삶의 가치에 대한 선택을 내포하며 이는 소비행태의 변화, 삶의 방식의 변화를 통해 기술 고착, 사용자 고착을 타파함으로써 시스템 혁신을 이루거나 새로운 사회 기술시스템의 구성 혹은 전환을 촉진할 수 있다. 이런 맥락에서 국민의 창의성은 기존의 전문가/과학기술 공급중심 혁신 패러다임이 아닌 사용자/현장중심 혁신 패러다임'의 토대로서 역할 할 수 있다. 따라서 국민의 창의성에 주목하고 있는 창조경제는 사용자/현장 중심 혁신 패러다임의 실현이라는 새로운 경제사회발전정책과제를 안고 있다고 할 수 있다.

The elderly care service is also going through changes influenced by the unavoidable impact from torrents of digital technologies. There are numerous reports and news about the digital technologies increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of care service yet lacking systematic understanding of the sources of such improvement. This study aims to present a new classification framework for digital elderly care service innovation to fully utilize the power of digital technologies drawing on insights from innovation studies and service studies. First, 4 features of digital technologies are identified as sources of new value in service innovation. The co-creation of value by users and producers in service and technology development is discussed to illuminate users' contributions to service innovation. Communication of needs and ideas with producers and application of new technologies into everyday practice of life are identified as the source of new value which can be attributed to the elderly. Customization along with efficiency gains is the key to digital elderly care service innovation. The classification framework, thus, incorporates the needs of the elderly as one axis of criteria in the conventional technology-centered framework. The new classification framework would help give due weight to user-driven or demand-driven innovation in the elderly care service R&D activities.

This research investigates how digital design agencies and client companies incorporate design thinking-a human-centered approach to solving difficult problems-into their website development processes. Based on a literature review on the design-thinking-driven web development process, multiple case studies of award-winning website projects were performed by in-depth interviews with key practitioners. Through analyses of these cases, their user-centered approaches for website innovation were identified according to the following four phases: web planning (discovery and defining phases) and web design and development (development and delivery phases). Moreover, distinct approaches of design thinking practices were identified according to two website types: a brand promotion website with a killer brand storytelling approach; and a service channel website with a strategic UI/UX-driven approach. Next, the key success drivers of these website projects were suggested in light of the typical themes of design thinking (i.e., human centeredness, research based, context awareness, and collaboration). Some practical limitations were also found in adopting the design-thinking-driven web development process, such as limited research methods and tools, and insufficient prototyping and experimentation. Along with these limitations, it was also discovered that current digital design agencies still face the following challenges in adopting the design-thinking-driven web development process: building a long-term, playful partnership with clients; leveraging decision-makers' design thinking awareness; and coping with limited resources (design thinking practitioners, budgets, and schedules).

Purpose: For improving outgoing quality, this study presents a novel sampling framework based on predictive analytics. Methods: The proposed framework is composed of three steps. The first step is the variable selection. The knowledge-based and data-driven approaches are employed to select important variables. The second step is the model learning. In this step, we consider the supervised classification methods, the anomaly detection methods, and the rule-based methods. The applying model is the third step. This step includes the all processes to be enabled on real-time prediction. Each prediction model classifies a product as a target sample or random sample. Thereafter intensive quality inspections are executed on the specified target samples. Results: The inspection data of three Samsung products (mobile, TV, refrigerator) are used to check functional defects in the product by utilizing the proposed method. The results demonstrate that using target sampling is more effective and efficient than random sampling. Conclusion: The results of this paper show that the proposed method can efficiently detect products that have the possibilities of user's defect in the lot. Additionally our study can guide practitioners on how to easily detect defective products using stratified sampling
