Recently, global competition in the manufacturing sector is driving firms in the manufacturing sector to conduct product innovation projects to maintain their competitive edge. The key points of product innovation projects are 1) what the purpose of the project is and 2) what expected results in the target market can be achieved by implementing the innovation. Therefore, this study focuses on the performance of innovation projects with a business viewpoint. In this respect, this study proposes the "achievement rate" of product innovation projects as a measurement of project performance. Then, this study finds the best strategies from various innovation activities to optimize the achievement rate of product innovation projects. There are three major innovation activities for the projects, including three types of R&D activities: Internal, joint and external R&D, and five types of non-R&D activities - acquisition of machines, equipment and software, purchasing external knowledge, job education and training, market research and design. This study applies decision tree modeling, a kind of data-mining methodology, to explore effective innovation activities. This study employs the data from the 'Korean Innovation Survey (KIS) 2014: Manufacturing Sector.' The KIS 2014 gathered information about innovation activities in the manufacturing sector over three years (2011-2013). This study gives some practical implication for managing the activities. First, innovation activities that increased the achievement rate of product diversification projects included a combination of market research, new product design, and job training. Second, our results show that a combination of internal R&D, job training and training, and market research increases the project achievement most for the replacement of outdated products. Third, new market creation or extension of market share indicates that launching replacement products and continuously upgrading products are most important.

오늘날 환경의 변화가 매우 빠르고 복잡하기 때문에, 기업들은 내부 R&D만 수행하여 생존하거나 지속적인 경쟁우위를 확보하기는 어렵다. 이에 따라 개방형 혁신에 관한 패러다임이 강조되고 있으며, 다양한 산업들에서 외부 R&D의 비중이 점점 증가하고 있다. 본 연구는 과학기술정책연구원(STEPI)에서 수행한 한국기업혁신조사(KIS)의 데이터를 통해 개방형 혁신을 분석하였다. 한국의 제조업에 해당하는 기업들을 중심으로 개방형 혁신의 비중을 확인하였고, 개방형 혁신과 혁신 성과 간의 관계를 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 개방형 혁신은 과거에 존재하지 않았던 새로운 패러다임이 아닌 것을 확인하였다. 또한 정부지원제도의 활용은 혁신 성과에 긍정적인 영향을 미친 반면, 외부 R&D의 활용은 관리의 어려움으로 인해 혁신 성과에 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 결과는 향후 기업들이 혁신 활동을 수행할 때 전략적인 방향을 마련하거나 의사결정을 지원하는데 기여할 수 있을 것이다.

This study investigated the policy instruments pertinent to the establishment of a regional innovation system in the Mekong Delta that facilitates the development of a countermeasure towards various issues of industrial and technological nature. First, we conducted the research with regard to the status and environment of the region. Second, a field visiting survey was implemented to analyze the results of international efforts and regional capacity to solve the problems attendant upon introducing technologies related to the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Third, we derived the key policy issues and challenges from the results of the field visiting survey and experts' conference with a deep focus on technological transfer and international cooperation to enhance the capability in the science and technology field. Fourth, we conducted the opinion survey of the experts from Korea and Vietnam to converge local opinions from both countries and analyzed the results. The range of research subjects is responding to climate change, managing water resources, coordinating energy and industrial structure, making a resilient Mekong regional ecosystem, smartification of local cities, and improving the life quality of citizens, and so on. The results of this study are expected to be the beginning of fundamental research in the mid to long-term view of the Mekong Delta region innovation system of Korea and Vietnam and to evaluate the master plan.

Innovation fuels organizations evolving them to withstand rapid changes in markets and challenges from competition. While diversified concepts of innovation are examined, a generic framework for managing organizational innovation is established to portray the notion in a methodical approach. Substantiation of the determinants for organizational innovation is carried out in order to examine the framework against the practical situation. Subsequently, expectations and actual accomplishments of the determinants for organizational innovation from the industry are determined so as to understand the industrial view towards the framework. This paper summarizes the empirical findings of a survey of organizational innovation with a sample of 208 electronic and electrical manufacturing companies in the Greater Pearl River Delta (GPRD), China. On one hand, the survey findings confirm the readiness of the generic framework from the practical perspective of the industry. On the other hand, rankings are obtained for the expected importance and company accomplishment of the determinants for organizational innovation, namely in the areas of management leadership and commitment, employee capability and attitude and strategy development for innovation. The improvement area is also verified by the shortcomings of the expectation in comparison to the company accomplishment in each determinant. Meanwhile, it is believed that a directional attitude towards the determinants can facilitate the accomplishment of the determinants of organizational innovation. Further results will be generated from a more in-depth analysis of variables. The confirmed framework will be further developed into an assessment system for organizational innovation with the support of best practices in each determinant.

This study is to suggest the government's support direction for the small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) by examining the relations among technology level, innovation factors, entrepreneur's characteristics, and start-up reasons. The management bottlenecks and the necessary fields of government's support are also investigated across the company's growth stages. Empirical analysis was conducted based on the 318 Korean SMEs' data receiving the Venture and/or Inno-biz certification. Results show that managing difficulties of the company have typical pattern according to the stage of growth. The characteristics of an entrepreneur such as age, education background and past experience affect the early stage of starting business. We also found that the technology level is closely connected with operational innovation activities and circumstances, entrepreneur's characteristics, start-up motives, and technological innovation activities.

This is an exploratory study on facilitators, impediments and their priorities of firm innovation activities regarding the Fourth Industrial Revolution. This study adopted an inductive method to explore the properties and contents of the facilitators and impediments. 10 main factors and 30 sub-factors (15 facilitators, 15 impediments) were extracted through the Delphi survey. The highest priority goes to the factor of executive-level officers' minds and future strategies. By examining the properties and contents of 15 facilitators and 15 impediments of innovation activities, this study notices that the most factors are related to the prior stage of innovation. It indicates that each firms' innovation activities regarding the Fourth Industrial Revolution is not about the managing problems in (or of) innovation process, but closely associated with the degree of whether they are willing to be engaged with their innovation activities of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. In addition, this study proposes that the relationship between each firms' innovation activities on existing market/business and the new market/business regarding the Fourth Industrial Revolution can be predicted as a dynamic reverse one. 15 facilitators and 15 impediments can influence two types of innovation activities. Finally, this study suggests that through priorities of facilitators and impediments, leadership and future strategies, culture and organization, and (human) resource acquisition are the prioritized areas for a further study of innovation activities.

혁신에서 불확실성이나 불연속을 경영한다는 것은 대부분의 기업에게 어려운 과제이다. 기업의 지속 가능한 장기적인 생존을 위해 불연속 혁신이 내포하고 있는 문제 중 하나는 혁신가의 딜레마이다. 특히 불연속 혁신과 기존 사업자간의 동태적인 상황은 연구자들과 기업 경영자들에게 큰 관심사항이다. 본 논문은 불연속 혁신이라는 현상을 설명하는 이론적 배경으로 격변이론을 도입한다. 즉, 불연속 혁신에 대한 기업전략의 동태적인 현상을 격변이론의 틀에서 해석함으로써 혁신딜레마를 극복하는 제어인자를 도출한다. 이를 위해 본 논문은 불연속 혁신의 네 가지 유형으로 기술 불연속, 제품 불연속, 사업 불연속, 그리고 소비자 선호도 불연속을 정의하고, 각각의 유형별로 불연속 혁신 실사례를 격변이론의 관점에서 해석함으로써 불연속 혁신을 중심으로 한 기업간 경쟁의 동태적인 상황을 분석하였다. 이러한 분석 과정은 기업 간 경쟁 속에서 예측이 떨어지는 불연속적인 상황에 미리 대처할 수 있는 제어인자를 발굴할 수 있도록 해준다.
