This study considered technology commercialization as a sort of external R&D of the licensee firm. Then, this study analyzed industrial characteristics of technology commercialization and interactions between internal R&D and technology commercialization from the licensee's viewpoint. Data from NTIS (National science and Technology Information Service) and KED (Korea Enterprise Database) were matched. 7,645 technology commercializations from 1,980 firms were extracted. Afterward, OLS and quantile regression were applied to the extracted data. The impact of technology commercialization on firm growth was concentrated to few high-tech and medium high-tech firms. Technology commercialization was effective in the growth in a year while internal R&D was effective in the growth in two years. The firm size was insiginificant variable. In analysis of 4 selected industries (automobile, electronics, semiconductor, chemistry), the impact was skewed among industries. Though the importance of technology commercialization is widely acknowledged, quantitative analyses like this study are uncommon. Therefore, this study can be useful for the tailored industry solutions for technology commercialization.

This study empirically analyzed the labor income share of primary and subcontractors. The results are as follows. First, panel regression analysis showed that the variables of transaction concentration, outsourcing cost, capital intensity, and market share had a significant negative effect, while union organization rate and R & D investment had positive effects. In particular, the R & D variable had a negative effect on the share of labor income in the year of investment (t), but had a positive impact on the long-term (t-1, t-2). Second, the share of labor income during the last 11 years (2006~2016) was higher in subcontractors with lower wage levels. This analysis implies that the wage inequality between the primary and subcontracting enterprises can not be eliminated without improving the solvency of subcontractors.

This paper focuses on the geographical pattern of financial activities in the Korean urban system during 1975-1990, based on the assumption that financial activities can reveal control points in Korea's urban economy. In terms of spatial evolution of financial insitutions, different locational characteristics are revealed among different types of financial institutions, implying the role of urban hierarchy. Financial resources are highly concentrated in the capital region, Seoul and Kyonggi Province. Both centralization trends into the large metropolitan cities and relative declines of medium and small cities within the Korean urban system, have been experienced over the study period. Financial activities sustain relatively stable hierarchical structure in the urban hierarchy. Regarding the financial flows, dominant flow zones centered on major metropolitan cities are identified, clearly showing a prominant role of Seoul in financial flows in the entire urban system.

Using 1795 observations from the 5 year-359 firm panel data collected during the period from 2009 to 2013 in Chinese stock exchanges, this study examines the impact of the controlling shareholders' ownership on R & D expenditure. This empirical study finds that when firms are state-owned, the controlling shareholders' ownership has a U shaped relation with the level of R & D expenses. A non-linear relation is also found when piece-wise regression models are applied. This empirical study also finds that when firms are private-owned, the controlling shareholders' ownership is negatively related to the level of R & D expenses, and no structural changes in the relation are found when piece-wise regression models are applied. These results support the hypothesis that the effects of the controlling shareholders' ownership on R & D expenses may differ depending on the ownership type of the controlling shareholders. This finding suggests that the differences in the controlling shareholders' incentives due to their ownership type should be considered when exploring the relation between the controlling shareholders' ownership and corporate strategic decisions.

This paper studies the characteristics of the network of the Zhongguancun Cluster, the most representative innovative cluster of the high-tech industry in China at present. For this study, Zhongguancun Cluster was the first high-tech cluster created in China in 1988, the current Zhongguancun Cluster plays a leading role in the development of the high-tech industry in China. In addition, the Zhongguancun Cluster has attracted global attention and helped elevate China as a key region in terms of research development in relation to the high-tech industry. With regard to the spatial characteristics of the network belonging to the companies in Zhongguancun Cluster, purchase and producer services and information and R&D network have a strong tendency to be local, while on the other hand the product sales network has a strong tendency to be non-local. It is because the political support supplied by the government, institutional base that provides high-tech companies, producer services and information regarding producer services is relatively well prepared and managed in Zhongguancun Cluster. The spatial characteristics of the R&D network have a very strong local character is due to the location of the Zhongguancun Cluster where companies, universities and research centers with outstanding research development capacity as well as various support organizations for technology innovation within the cluster are included. On the other hand, because the high-tech products produced in this area are sold all across China as well as in foreign countries, the product sales network has a strong non-local character. Strengthening the local network in terms of the main agents of the cluster is the most important aspect in order to develop a certain industrial cluster into an innovative cluster. In this respect, if the Zhongguancun Cluster is seen from the perspective of a network, it has a basic network foundation. However, to strengthen international competitiveness, not only the local network but also the international network should be strengthened.

This study aims to investigate the relationship between Corporate Venture Capital(CVC) investments and firm innovation, exploring the moderating effect of corporate ESG risk on this relationship. First, adopting the organizational learning theory, I theorize a process in which a firm's relationship with a venture through CVC investments acts as an external innovation source for learning and ultimately short-term innovation. Also, based on the discussion of the stakeholder theory, I argue that when a firm is evaluated as having high ESG risk externally, this may have a negative moderating effect that weakens the relationship between CVC investments and innovative performance. In order to verify these hypotheses, panel data analysis was performed using CVC investments data, patent application data, and ESG risk scores of US high-tech firms from 1993 to 2018. As a result of the analysis, as expected, it was found that the more the firm invests in ventures through CVC, the more the firm's innovative performance increases. In addition, the social aspect of ESG risk of a firm, related to the local community and employees, were found to weaken the association between CVC investments and innovative performance. This study expands the understanding of existing research on CVC investments as a vehicle for learning and innovation. Focusing on the importance of relationship with ventures rather than the size of CVC investments, I empirically examined that the formation of CVC relationships with ventures is directly related to the short-term innovation of investing firms. Additionally, this study contributes to the CVC literature by including stakeholders in the current discussion in addition to investing firms and portfolio ventures. Finally, this study investigated how ESG issues, which are attracting attention as playing an important role in firm activities, are related to CVC investments.

Financial IT evaluation methods have been unable to satisfy firms' requirements. There has been a growing demand for more comprehensively and non-financially measuring the IT performance. We developed a process-based approach in evaluating impacts of IT on primary activities. In this research we proposed a model that uses the corporate objective of IT and strategic fitt as the core independent variables in measuring the IT effect. Based on the data collected from the management variables of the 125 companies located in Korea, the companies were classified into the 4 different groups according to their corporate objective for IT: un-oriented, operations oriented, market oriented and dual oriented. Through the empirical analysis, we were able to demonstrate that the management of the companies showing a higher orientation level perceives a better IT investment performance, and this shows that the corporate objective for IT serves as a useful index for measuring the IT investment effect. In this research, it was also demonstrated that the strategic alignment has a positive influence on perceiving the IT investment effect.

IMF위기 이후 여러 가지로 어려움에 처해 있는 경제를 회복하기 위한 돌파구로서 외국기업과 자본의 유치의 중요성이 더해지고 있다. 특히 대규모 기업의 구조조정과 기업들의 투자마인드 위축으로 어려움을 겪고 있는 지방경제를 활성화하기 위한 수단으로서의 투자유치는 먼저, 외국자본의 직접투자를 통하여 단기간에 산업기반을 강화할 수 있고, 제조업의 해외이전에 따른 산업공동화를 방지할 수 있다. 또한 당면한 과제인 고실업을 해소하기 위해서도 필요하다. 정부는 '98, 9. 17. 외국인투자유치촉진법을 제정, 공포하고, 시행령을 마련하여, 국세와 지방세의 감면혜택은 물론 분양가와 조성원가와 차액보조금, 고용보조금, 직업훈련비등의 인센티브를 보완한다. 경상남도의 외국인투자유치전략으로는 경남의 입지적 경쟁우위를 확보할 수 있는 업종을 선정하여 중점유치활동을 전개하고 있다. 이를 위한 구체적 방안으로는 첫째, 투자유치과를 신설하고 전문직공무원을 채용하였고, 민간전문가를 기업으로부터 파견받아 기존 공무원이 담당하기 힘든 부분을 담담토록 하고 있고, 둘째, 진사지방산업단지를 외국인투자지역으로 지정하고 하였다. 셋째, 외국인투자기업에 대한 여러 가지 인센티브를 위하여 경상남도 기업 및 투자 유치조례(안)을 입안중이다. 넷째, 투자유치 타켓기업을 선정하여 집중유치활동을 전개하고 있으며, 다섯째, 경남도내에 이미 투자한 기업에 대한 사후관리를 철저히 하여 경영상의 애로사항 해결에 만전을 다 할 것이다. 지방자치제의 실시로 지방자치단체간의 경쟁이 가열되고 있으나 투자유치활동에 있어서 동서의 협력방안을 모색해 보았으며, 공동투자프로젝트 개발, 공동투자유치설명회 개최, 투자 유치기법의 상호 벤치마킹 등이 필요하다. 결론적으로 외국인 투자촉진법 등 법령의 정비와 외국인 투자유치의 중요성에 대한 인식이 확산되어 외국인 투자유치의 환경이 획기적으로 개선될 것으로 기대된다. 지방자치단체에서도 투자를 기다리던 관행에 탈피하여 입체적인 투자유치노력을 전개해야 할 것이다.

This study was intended for suggestions enabling sports enterprises to lead the sports industry convergence. The method of study was literature reviews and discussed on improvements of the current law through examining the relevant law and regulations in the future. In the result, the current sports industry is faced with many matters. Despite the convergence availability of sports industry, professional sports industry human resources shortages, the absence of dedicated organizational mechanisms, R&D investment shortage and insufficient legal aspects can be presented. Fostering human resources with expertise and the installation of organization that can support sports industrial convergence are required to solve these problems. In conclusion, since sports industry has a value added area higher than other industries and bring economic ripple effect as a result of convergence activities, a climate for promoting sports convergence enterprises should be created.
