The service industry is drawing economic growth, and the financial service sector among service industry takes major share. So it is needed to increase the productivity and efficiency through the service innovation of making a good process, standardization, automation. But contrary to manufacturing industry, the difficulty to measure the characteristic of productivity, quality and innovation in service sector requires more scientific and systematic method for service innovation. This paper will search for financial service innovation strategy with service science by the case review of KOTEC's technology rating system. The case may infer that strategic technology management capability along with customized financial service infrastructure is important.

This study analyzed the effect of workplace innovation on business performance and labor condition improvement. The study results showed that work process standardization and quality control positively affected business performance. Also, downsizing, reducing individual subcontract, expanding non-core business outsourcing positively affected both business performance and labor condition improvement. In addition, labor union's participation moderated the effect of work process innovation on business performance. This study provided implications for analyzing the effect of workplace innovation comprehensively and extending the scope of study to personal employee dimension.

This Study is to show the impact of IT capital stock accumulation on the total factor productivity in 9 industries during 1980 through 2000. We construct the If capital stock using input and output table provided by Bank of Korea (2000). Using sequence testing methodologies, we investigate the nonstationary characteristics of the relevant data and test the cointegration relationship between total factor productivity and IT capital stock. Over the past two decades, IT capital stock contributed between 0.19 to 0.07 percentage point per IT capital stock on total factor productivity. Our empirical results, therefore, do not support Solow's IT paradox in using the long period panel data case in Korea.

Ever since the concept of clean production technology was introduced to the Korea industry communities, 16 years has passed, but there is still some confusion regarding to the definition and the meaning. It ascribes that SMEs do not widely accepted the concept and therefore the dissemination is still not widen. This study has explored the definition and the categories of clean production technologies as well as compared the relationship between the environment technology and green technology.In addition, as a policy plan to disseminate cleaner production technologies to small and medium enterprises, several policies are suggested hoe to improve and expand eco- innovation projects that are currently supported by the government.

The purpose of this study is two fold. First, we will explore the meaning, spread effect and consideration factors of manufacturing innovation in terms of theoretical perspective. Second, we will verify the status of high performance computing (HPC) utilization policy, and analyze the situation of US and Korea. Manufacturing innovation policy in each country has the objective in common which aims epoch-making enhancing of productivity. Nevertheless it can be characterized as innovation oriented policy rather than simple trial of productivity improvement. For long term growth and employment, the need for reindustrialization instead of deindustrialization should be recognized. Employment may be decreased temporarily and partially due to manufacturing innovation. However net effect of employment increasing will be bigger because of indirect employment. HPC utilization policy has the importance as a separate movement other than as a subset of manufacturing innovation. US government is trying to eliminate the bottleneck elements in adoption of HPC based M&S activity, and to promote the way of problem solving through the mechanism of public-private partnership, in spite of low level of HPC based M&S. In Korea, ecosystem related with the activity of HPC based M&S is needed, and expansion of M&S utilization in manufacturing companies and fostering of M&S supporting institutions will be important for this task.

The service industry has become very important for almost every country. The same goes for Korea, as its service industry accounts for more than 60 percent of GDP. However, it is true that the competitiveness of Korea's service industry is very low compared to that of major developed countries. It is particularly true for knowledge-intensive service sectors. In this reason, Korea needs to strengthen the competitiveness of domestic service sectors. There have been many studies on service innovation models. 1his paper tries to explore how to enhance the competitiveness of Korean service industry. It argues that the science and technology will play an essential role in strengthening the competitiveness of many service sectors and technology and innovation management will be very important also for them. Therefore, based on the review on existinf models, this paper suggests a "Model of Strategic Services Innovation Management" which is composed of strategic intent, technological innovation, and organizational innovation. Based on this model this paper analyzes two cases: Wal-Mart and Incheon International Airport Co. According to our analyzes, both companies have enhanced their competitiveness significantly based on technological and organizational innovations, which have been initiated at corporate leveL Therefore, the Korean service industry should actively adopt the Strategic Services Innovation Management Model in order to enhance its competitiveness and productivity.

오늘날 국내기업들은 국내$\cdot$외적인 경쟁 심화와 기술혁신 및 신제품개발, 정보화시대 도래에 따른 기업정보의 중요성 중대 등 급변하는 기업 환경 속에서 유연성 있는 경영조직 및 효율적인 관리시스템 확립을 통한 생산성 향상 및 경영효율화와 경영정보시스템 구축을 통한 정보자원의 효율적 관리 및 신속한 의사 결정 지원 등 기업내부의 경영혁신과 정보화를 위하여 많은 노력을 기울이고 있다. 그러나 여타 제조업체들에 비해 국내의 중소신발생산 기업들은 소수의 대형업체를 제외하곤 기업의 정보화 수준이 미미하며 체계적인 정보시스템 또한 전무한 실정이다. 이에 중소신발생산기업들이 활용할 수 있도록 수주에서 자재구매, 생산, 납품에 이르는 일관된 정보 흐름을 통해 기업의 주요한 정보인 주문정보, 제품정보, 자재발주 및 입고정보, 생산계획 및 생산실적정보를 관리할 수 있는 생산정보시스템을 개발 소개하고자 한다.

The aim of this paper is to explore the role played by the endogenous farming organization sustaining rural community's competitiveness. Nulmi-Ri, Chungdo Kun in Kyongsangbuk-do chosen as a case study area is known to be one of the most competitive rural communities, making a living with a peach farming. This community maintains its competi- tiveness by operating a community-based filming organization which was organised in an endogenous way. Most of individual farmers in this community belong to the farming organization and they have cooperative relationships in the processes of production and distribution. In this respect, the exchange and circulation of knowledge, and collective learning, tend to be significantly taken place between the organization members. Based on the experience of the Nulmi-Ri's endogenous farming organization, we propose some constructive comments for rural community development.

This paper aims to analyse post catch-up innovation activities of Korean firms. Traditional approach focused on incremental innovation through fast catch-up process. Recently, Korean firms present new patterns of innovation activities. It includes the development of state-of-the-art frontier products in capital intensive manufacturing sector, the achievement of architectural innovation through adopting newly developed components and the creation of new market based on the basic technological capabilities. This paper attempts to formulate conceptual framework for analysing post catch-up innovation activities and to analyse stylized facts of post catch-up activities based on the case studies on technology based small and medium Korean firms.
