As incipient organizations progress from formation to become larger entities, the procedures and rules that provided managerial and structural advantages in having established the organizations and promoting the growth impede the innovation and creativity vital to maintain the competitive advantage. Adopting Corporate Entrepreneurship (CE), large corporations have tried to overcome the dilemma and to sustain the innovation and creativity in order to effectively cope with harsh competitive realities. Recently, some advanced corporations are trying to enhance CE by setting up an internal venture program as a seed organization for CE. By making an in-depth analysis of the internal venture program, 'C-Lab' of Samsung that is promoting CE-related characteristics for enhancing CE, we attempt to shed light on (1) what kinds of environments should be built around the seed organization for CE (2) what are the major characteristics that should be promoted through the seed organization in relation to CE (3) What kinds of achievements can be made from the promoted characteristics (4) How the characteristics are spread over the entire organization. Based on the analysis, we suggest a generalized process in which CE can be enhanced. Since different approaches should be taken for managing the seed organization and spreading the characteristics depending on the strengths and weaknesses of a corporation, there must be the step, 'evaluation of corporate internal capabilities' in the process. We believe that each corporation can enhance CE by taking advantage of the process with reference to the C-Lab case study.

본 연구는 Kingdon(1984)과 Howlett(2014) 모델을 결합한 수정모델을 적용하여 국제과학비즈니스벨트의 정책결정과정을 분석하였다. 그 과정에서 어떠한 사회 정치적 요인들이 영향을 미쳤는지에 대해 알아보고 향후, 국제과학비즈니스벨트 사업과 거대기초과학 정책 추진방향을 모색하고자 하였다. 구체적인 분석은 정책결정과정을 정책의재, 정책형성, 정책집행의 단계로 구분하고, 문제 과정 정책 정치의 흐름과 창, 정책선도자를 변수로 활용하였다. 분석결과, 정책결정과정에서 정치의 흐름과 정책선도자의 역할이 중요하게 작용하였고, 과학자 집단보다는 정치가들과 정부 관료자들이 주도적으로 참여하였으며 그 과정속에서 정치적 혼란을 겪으며 급진적으로 진행되었다는 점을 알 수 있었다.

This study empirically conduct structural equivalence analysis based on social network analysis in picking up on overall structural characteristics of technological knowledge exchange in a regional cluster. Previous conceptual studies so far have argued that performance differences among structurally equivalent groups exist. However, because little research has been done to empirically investigate this conceptual hypothesis, this study is conducted as complementary to fill this void. For analysis, we utilize two-mode network data consisted of 2,550 firms by investigating 53 technological knowledge exchange-related associations within Gumi national industrial cluster. The results show that some structurally equivalent groups can be defined appropriately and its role can be conditioned by firms' salient characteristics attached to each structural equivalent groups. In addition, it is presented through the present study that performance difference in structural equivalent groups can be distinct by some selected performance indicators. Finally, this study suggests the need to advance the study of performance differences in structurally equivalent groups in the future.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, lots of occasions need to be held in online environment. This is the reason why "Metaverse" gets lots of attention in 2021. A number of companies made announcements on Metaverse, and this situation also boomed stock market. This paper investigates the relationship between Metaverse initiatives and business value of the firm (i.e., stock prices). We examine this relationship by using event study method with Lexis-Nexis News data from 2019 to 2021. The results indicate that Metaverse initiatives significantly impact positive influence on firm's value. In the technological perspective, technical factors affect more positive market returns, including Metaverse enablers (e.g., NFT, VR devices, digital twin) and common infrastructure (e.g., semiconductor, AI, cloud), and especially virtual environment was emphasized. Additionally, in the strategical perspective, radical innovation (e.g., pivoting, acquisition) impact more positive market return rather than incremental innovation (e.g., partnership, investment). Also, firms from non-service industries can achieve benefits from Metaverse initiatives rather than service industry in some degree.

현재, 눈에 띄게 전개되고 있는 국제 경쟁의 성패는 한 나라의 노동생산의 질, 생산환경의 능력에 따라 크게 좌우되고 있다. 또 현재와 같이 정보화 사회로의 급진전은 정보의 지적 생산의 증가를 촉진하고 있다. 따라서 지적 정보처리의 도구(컴퓨터)에 대한 최적화 설계 및 경제적인 개발, 활용능력의 국민적 균일화는 고품질의 국가노동생산을 추구하는 21세기의 국가지표가 될 것임에 틀림없다. 이 논문 내용은 다음과 같다. 첫째로 첨단기술과 기술혁신이 갖는 의미와 역사적 배경을 논하여, 한국의 시대적, 사회적 환경과 위치를 진단한다. 둘째는 사회의 변천역사에 맞추어 한국의 장래를 예견하는 입장에서 우리가 안고 있는 국민적 과제는 무엇이며, 컴퓨터기술(설계기술, 이용기술)이 국민에 대한 봉사기술로서 어떻게 정착되어, 활용되어야 할 것인가에 대해 논한다.

This research analyzed the case of Ncsoft to study the organizational learning, exploitation and exploration that create dynamic capability in hypercompetitive environment. First of all, we demonstrated the activities of exploitation and exploration in Ncsoft according to the life cycle of online game industry. An exploitation related to routine, learning and fit with existing environment brings about incremental innovation. In contrast, an exploration associated with non-learning, flexibility with changing environment results in radical innovation. We examined them based on the life cycle of its various game services. NCsoft that built the leading position in online game industry focused the exploitation activities at the stage of beginning period and growth, whereas NCsoft has increased the activities of exploration at period of mature. In addition, the firm conducts an exploration for its brand new game services and R&D. Conversely, An exploitation is conducted for sustainable updating of patch service and marketing and system building. The result implies that online game companies create sustainable competitive advantage using the balance between exploitation and exploration.

The Fourth Industrial Revolution is the super-connected-based intelligent revolution, which is triggered by intelligence information technology such as AI and IoT. Radical changes in industrial structure being expected, major developed countries are counteracting it by preparing strategies to enhance industrial competitiveness for taking the lead in the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Korea's national preparations, however, are considered to be insufficient, as it ranks only $25^{th}$ in the world. In compliance with the issue, preparing relevant policies and strategies such as establishment of the Fourth Industrial Revolution Committee, government diagnoses the pending issue of information and communication industry and arranges countermeasures so that it intends to gain competitiveness in the industry and lays a foundation for leading the market.

The military technological surprise has been delivered in many warfares as a surprise tactic. It can be used both strategic and tactical level. As the weapon systems have been escalated their capabilities by the modern science and technology advancement, the possibility of technological surprise has been increased. Technological surprise can spring from sources like scientific breakthrough in the laboratory, rapid fielding of known technology, and new operational use of an existing weapon and technology. There are 2 types of surprise, known surprises are those which the nation should have known but did not adequately prepare, and surprising surprises are those which the nation might have known but which were buried among other possibilities. The nine cases of modern technological surprises are presented and the sources and types are analyzed. The recommendations for the ROK MND to prepare for the future technological surprises are proposed.

오늘날 기업 경영 환경은 더욱 복잡해지고, 국가간.지역간 통합 경제 체제 형태로 변화하고 있다. 정보 기술과 텔리커뮤니케이션의 결합에 따른 급속한 발전은 국가간.지역간 경계를 넘어 다국적 기업, 더 나아가서는 범세계적 기 업으로 글로벌(global) 기업을 출현시켰다. 경영 환경의 빠른 변화의 추세 속 에서 경쟁 우위를 지키기 위해서는 이러한 변화를 적절히 수용하고 적응할 수 있는 조직이 필요하였다. 기존의 MIS 관점으로는 환경 변화에 적응 할 수 있는 혁신적인 조직으로 변화시키는 데는 한계가 있었고, 이에 따라 BPR 이 대두되었다. BPR실행에 있어 성공뿐만 아니라 많은 실패도 겪었다. BPR 실행에는 많은 자금과 인력, 시간이 투자되기 때문에 실패의 손실은 기업에 게 큰 타격을 가져다 줄 수 있다. 대부분의 BPR의 실패 원인은 사회적 측면 을 고려하지 못한 데 있다. 정보 기술을 이용하여 프로세스를 급진적으로 재 설계 하였지만, 운영 주체인 구성원의 저항감이나 조직의 문화에 대한 고려 를 하지 못하였다. 그러므로 BPR을 수행함에 있어 사회적 측면과 기술적 측 면을 동시에 고려하여 적용한다면 오류나 실패 요인을 감소시킬 수 있다. 따 라서 요즈음 새로이 부상하고 있는 사회.기술적 시스템 접근법은 성공적인 BPR 실행을 위한 대안이 될 수 있다.
