Architectural innovation is being regarded as one having major influence on the rate of performance improvement, even if this type of innovation does not show the highest level of technological discontinuity. Radical innovation firms who made a breakthrough product new to an industry, approach a certain point of time in which the speed of performance improvement very slows down, if architectural efficiency is not improved. At this time, this firm's prior experience in developing inferior, but very creative radical product architecture might work as paradoxical impediments to architectural innovation, the following important event. This study intends to understand the relationship between shifts in market needs and technological problem solving strategy, which exist before. after, and during architectural innovation, based on conceptual framework in which both stage and problem solving perspectives are combined. Korean SME, JAHWA Electronics could succeed in diffusion of vibration motor, by overcoming technological mental model locked in seemingly successful first generation architecture of coin type vibration motor. In-depth single case study including interviews and active participative observations was carried out for building longitudinal understanding of this innovation concept.

As technological capabilities have enhanced, the patterns of innovation activities of latecomer firms changed to post catch-up mode. The purpose of this research is to analyze the post catch-up innovation patterns of technology-intensive small and medium firms of Korea. The innovation patterns can be divided into three types: the technology deepening innovation type, the new technology based innovation type and the architectural innovation type. The characteristics of the technology deepening innovation type are cumulative technological learning and the integration of new generic technology and existing technologies. The characteristics of new technology based type are the acquisition and revelations of new basic knowledges from former incubating organizations such as large firms and universities. The characteristics of the architectural innovation type are the learning of system architecture knowledge from former organization and interactive learning with user firms. These post catch up innovations also have some general characteristics. They effectively exploited the windows of opportunities which are opened in the middle of technological paradigm change.

Display industry in Korea has been rapidly developing over 20 years, now taking the top-class leading position in the world. Nevertheless, many previous studies have mainly focused on major panel set makers. To overcome the drawbacks, this study focuses on supplier companies in the upstream of display industry such as materials, components, and equipments sectors. The research method used in this study is an industry value chain perspective combined with architectural innovation approach. Display panel is produced through fabrication process and modular process, each having a different characteristics of process architecture. This research figured out that there are quite a different development characteristics between materials and components suppliers and equipment suppliers. The number and revenue of materials and components suppliers were quite larger than equipments suppliers. However, the former has been growing mainly in the field of modular process, having a very weak position in the field of fabrication process. On the contrary, equipments suppliers have been showing a continuously growing pattern in the field of fabrication process. The R&D expenditures between these two kinds of suppliers showed a similar pattern. The fabrication process of display panel production is characterized as a highly integral architecture characteristics, so as to be a strong barriers to local suppliers, resulting less development of materials and components suppliers in Korea.

본 논문에서는 Chesbrough의 개방형 혁신 이론을 간략하게 소개하고, 그것이 기술경영 이론에서 지니는 정확한 위치와 의의를 진단함으로써 그가 정말 기여한 부분은 어디인지를 평가한다. 개방형 혁신이란 기업이 연구, 개발, 상업화에 이르는 일련의 혁신 과정을 개방하여 외부 자원을 활용함으로써 혁신의 비용을 줄이고 성공 가능성을 제고하며 부가가치 창출을 극대화하는 기업 혁신의 방법론으로 요약될 수 있다. 이 글의 결론은 개방형 혁신이 현상적으로도 최근의 현상이 아닐 뿐 아니라, 이론적으로도 기존의 내용과 다른 것이 없다는 것이다. 즉, 그의 개방형 혁신은 이름은 새롭지만 그 내용을 보면 새로운 혁신 방법론은 아니라는 평가이다. 그가 기여한 것은 기존에 이미 연구된 여러 주제들을 개방형 혁신이라는 하나의 이름으로 묶어줌으로써 기업 전략을 위한 통일된 프레임웍을 제공한 것에 있다. 이런 점에서 그는 기술혁신 방법론에 대한 일종의 "아키텍처 혁신"을 시도한 셈이라고 볼 수 있다. 그리고 최근에 활발해진 개방형 혁신의 배경으로서 지식 환경의 변화를 강조한 것도 그의 기여라고 볼 수 있겠다.

Today the theme of "IT Architecture" has become a topic of special interest in both public and private sectors. Based on the literature survey on information systems planning and information architecture, IT architecture may be viewed as the outcome of evolution, rather than revolution. A case study was conducted in order to compare the tasks and deliverables of U.S. IT architecture and Korean Information Strategy Planning. No significant differences were found in tasks or deliverables. Implications of the study were discussed.

How has the passenger car's architecture evolved? In the meantime, the discussions on the car architecture have been mixed, i.e., integral, modular, and the coexistence of two types. Therefore, in this study, we aim to develop two indices can measure the degree of modularization of passenger car and its all modules using global trade data. By applying the indices to the framework of architecture positioning that reflects the hierarchical structure of a product, we examined that the degree of modularization of the passenger car architecture has been enhanced. Meanwhile, the degree of modularization differs across the modules that make up the car. Specifically, we observed the higher degree of modularization in front-end, cockpit and seat modules. Whereas, we found that body module had a relatively low degree of modularization. In particular, we observed that the platform of passenger car has notably modularized due to carmakers' efforts to achieve model diversification and reduction of cost and period in new product development at the same time. Interestingly, we showed that three modules, i.e., engine, chassis (relatively less modularized), and transmission (relatively highly modularized), had a different level of modularization, even if they commonly make up the platform. We contribute to the suggestion for analytical approaches that examine the degree of modularization and its progress longitudinally. In addition, we propose the necessity of decomposition of a system into elements in a study of product architecture, considering the possibly distinctive progress of modularization across the elements.

정부의 행정 서비스를 보다 효과적이고 효율적으로 제공하는 것은 정부혁신의 핵심키워드이다. 이를 위한 수단으로 정부 공공기관들은 전사적 아키텍처(Enterprise Architecture)를 적극적으로 도입, 활용해야 한다. 전사적 아키텍처란 아직까지도 진화중인 개념으로 해당 기관 정보화 업무의 전 영역을 업무 프로세스(Business Processes), 정보 흐름 및 관계(Information Flow and Relationships), 애플리케이션(Applications),데이터 명세 및 관계(Date Descriptions and Relationships), 그리고 기술 하부구조(Technology Infrastructure)로 구분 짓고 각각을 구조화된 산출물로 정리함으로써 공공정보화의 청사진을 제시한다. 이렇게 구축된 아키텍처 결과물은 기관 내 뿐 아니라 타 기관 EA와의 연계를 통해 상호 운용되어야 하며, 이 과정에서 어휘의미중의성(Word Sense Ambiguation)등 상호운용성 문제가 핵심 이슈로 대두되리라 예상된다. 공공분야로 한정짓더라도 200여 정부부처 EA간의 상호운용성 문제는 정부조직 간 경계를 넘어 통합된 EA정보를 취합, 활용하는 데 있어 가장 큰 장애요인이 되리라 예상된다. 본 논문에서는 온톨로지를 사용하여 각기 서로 다른 EA간 상호운용성 문제를 해결하는 방안에 대해 논의하고자 한다.

본 논문은 범정부 엔터프라이즈 아키텍처(EA)의 메타모델을 UML 다이어그램을 이용하여 개선 연구에 관한 논문이다. 여러 공공기관과 기업에서는 '범정부 정보기술아키텍처 적용'이란 전자정부 로드맵 과제로 정보기술을 그들의 경영혁신을 위한 전략적 도구로 도입하였으며, 조직 전체의 최적화 및 통합, 조직의 진화관리, 조직업무의 효율성 및 효과성 등을 제공하는 방법으로 EA를 개발 및 적용하고 있다. 하지만 EA 프레임워크에서 제안하는 메타모델들은 단순한 네모 박스와 선으로 연결된 의미가 부족한 메타모델들을 제안하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 메타모델에 의미를 부여하는 작업으로 UML 다이어그램을 이용한 새로운 메타모델 다이어그램들을 제안한다. UML에서 사용된 의미를 가진 다이어그램을 범정부 엔터프라이즈 아키텍처의 메타모델에 적용함으로써 의미적인 메타모델의 다이어그램을 통해 보다 의미 전달이 용이한 메타모델로 사용되어 질 수 있을 것이다.

The current technological revolution pushes forward the innovation in the library information systems. This study proposes functional requirements and an architectural reference model of Semantic Library, recognized as a prototype of next-generation library information systems, that is a seamless convergence of the library information systems and the Internet technologies. Semantic Library can realize semantic interoperability and integration based on ontology and metadata, and also renovate information services for users with openness, sharing, participation and collaboration. Semantic Library will be effectively implemented by means of service-oriented architecture and the logical structure of FRBR. In this study, a reference model of Semantic Library consisting of 6 horizontal layers and 3 vertical elements is presented as a next-generation model of library information systems.
