Firms must focus on innovative activities via R&D investment in order to secure competitive advantage and sustainable growth. However, their innovative activities do not always result in successful outcomes and are often obstructed by uncertainty and non-appropriability of technology being developed and by insufficient internal resources and capabilities to tap into it. In this situation, collaboration with external partners can be a part of good alternative strategy to solve those problems. This paper aims to analyze what factors lead to Korean manufacturing companies’ decision to collaborate with external partners for technology innovation. For empirical analysis, we used the Korean Innovation Data compiled by STEPI, government-funded research institute in Korea. The research findings are: 1) firms tend to participate in external collaboration for product innovation with greater firm size, more past collaboration experiences and when they belong to high-tech industries 2) unlike our expectation, our chosen ‘innovation-impeding’ factors are found not to contribute to the enhancement of collaboration for product innovation.

최근 여론조사 분야에서 빅데이터 분석 기법이 널리 활용되고 있다. 기업에서는 최근 출시된 제품에 대한 선호도를 조사하기 위해 기존의 설문조사나 전문가의 의견을 단순 취합하는 것이 아니라, 온라인상에 존재하는 다양한 종류의 데이터를 수집하고 분석하여 제품에 대한 대중의 기호를 정확히 파악할 수 있는 방안이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 빅데이터로부터 제품의 평판을 자동으로 찾아내는 텍스트 마이닝 방안을 제안하고, 소나타 자동차를 중심으로 제안 방안의 효율성을 평가하고 실험 결과를 자세히 분석한다.

The changes in the 4th industrial revolution era are not limited to specific sectors, but affect all sectors of industry. Thus all companies are required to respond effectively to changes. Some companies response by adopting cutting-edge ICT and some companies improve the organizational structure, or enhance the competence of individual employees. This study is based on the assumption that the responses to the change in the 4th industrial revolution era should not be uniform, and that the response strategies and priorities should vary according to the characteristics of the companies. The purpose of this study is to suggest both different response strategies and the priority of the responding factors(areas) to small and medium-sized enterprises. Data were collected through the semi-Delphi method. As a result of data analysis, the priorities of the medium-sized enterprises were as follows: introduction of IT-strengthening the competence of the individuals - establishing technology infrastructure-improving organizational structure - efficiency of work - improving organizational culture. While the priorities of the response factors(area) of the small-sized companies were as follows: strengthening the competence of the individuals - efficiency of work - introduction of IT - establishing technology infrastructure - improving organizational structure - improving organizational culture.

This study aims to analyze research-based spin-off companies, which are established in Innopolis to promote the commercialization of R&D outputs of public institutions. We analyzed 175 technology-based start-ups, which were founded before 2016, to examine how the companies' capabilities affect the sales growth rate. The results show that technological capability and entrepreneurial capability have positive relations with sales growth, while network capability and finance capability do not have significant associations. In addition, R&D intensity (R&D expenditure per employee) has moderating effects on the association between firm capabilities and sales growth rate since it strengthens the effect of technological capability and entrepreneurial capability but weakens the influence of network capability. This study contributes to widening the understanding of the importance of capabilities of research-based spin-off companies and their performance, and differs from most previous literature since it uses objective and quantitative data. It further suggests policy implications that the enhancement of technological and entrepreneurial capability are important for the stable growth of technology-based startups in the early stage.

In order to secure an important competitive advantage in manufacturing business, an automation and information system from manufacturing process has been introduced; however, small and medium enterprises have not met the power of information in the manufacturing fields. They have been managing the manufacturing process that is depending on the operator's experience and data written by hand, which has limits to reveal cause of defective goods clearly, in the case of happening of low-grade goods. In this study, we analyze critical factors which affect the quality of some manufacturing process in terms of 4M. We also studied the automobile parts processing of the small and medium manufacturing enterprises controlled with data written by hand so as to collect the data written by hand and to utilize sensor data in the future. Analysis results show that there is no deference in defective quantity in machines, while raw materials, production quality and task tracking have significant deference.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the changes and importance of welfare policies in Chungcheong Province using big data analysis technology in the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, and to propose stable welfare policies for all generations, including the socially underprivileged. Chungcheong-do policy-related big data is coded in Python, and stable government policies are proposed based on the results of visualization analysis. As a result of the study, the keywords of Chungcheong-do government policy were confirmed in the order of region, society, government and support, education, and women, and welfare policy should be strengthened with a focus on improving local health policy and social welfare. For future research direction, it will be necessary to compare overseas cases and make policy proposals on the stable impact of national welfare policies.

This study utilizes raw data from "Research on the actual condition of firms' information security" of KISA (2010) and constructs panel dataset to analyze a causal relationship between information security investment and security breach. Using Difference in Difference estimation method we find the following results. First, while the usual causality that information security investment reduces security breach is not supported, the reverse causality that security breach increases information security investment is well explained. Second, contrary to the conventional wisdom, firms in the finance/insurance business sector show the most significant reverse causality pattern.

With the development of the Internet environment, various types of online reviews are being generated and exchanged among consumers to share their opinions. In line with this trend, companies are making efforts to analyze online reviews and use the results in various business activities such as marketing, sales, and product development. However, research on online review in industry related to 'Video Game' which is representative experience goods has not been performed enough. Therefore, this study analyzed STEAM community review data using machine learning techniques. We analyzed the factors affecting the opinion of other users' game review. We also propose managerial implications to incease user loyalty and usability.

비즈니스 인텔리전스는 정보를 저장하고 분석하여 부가가치를 창출해 내는 기술로써 무한경쟁시대에서 기업이 경영환경 추세를 파악하고 경영전략을 세우는데 필수적인 도구이다. 비즈니스 인텔리전스 핵심기술로는 정보를 분석하기 쉬운 형태로 저장하는 데이터웨어하우징 기술과, 정보를 다차원적으로 분석하는 OLAP 기술, 그리고 데이터에 숨겨진 패턴과 관계를 찾아내는 데이터마이닝 기술이 포함되며, 이들 각각을 위한 소프트웨어 제품들은 개발되어 널리 사용되고 있다. 그러나 기업이 요구하는 분석결과를 적시에 제공하기 위해서는 이들을 통합한 개발 프레임워크가 필요하며, 본 연구팀은 그러한 프레임워크 개발 프로젝트(Chamois Project)에 참여하고 있다. 이 프레임워크에는 유사한 기능을 제공하는 여러 종류의 소프트웨어 제품들이 포함되어 있어서, 공통의 응용 프로그래밍 인터페이스(API)를 제공하는 것이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 특히 다양한 OLAP 제품들을 수월하게 사용할 수 있도록 공통 OLAP API를 개발하였고, 이를 소개하고자 한다. 이와 같이 통합 환경에서 다양한 OLAP 제품들을 지원할 수 있다는 것은 OLAP 제품들의 선택의 폭을 넓히고 응용 프로그램의 코드를 수정하지 않아도 보다 나은 기능을 갖는 OLAP 제품으로의 업그레이드가 쉽게 이루어진다는 장점을 갖는다.
