This study diagnosed the innovation capability of SMEs by utilizing the VIQ(Value Innovation Quotient) and deduced the innovation strategy. VIQ is the diagnosis tool for measuring the innovation capability of the SMEs focusing on the value innovation. SMEs can utilize this tool for diagnosis and deduce the innovation strategy. This study selected the high-growth venture company- K company and analyse it and deduced the innovation strategy. Innovation strategy can be as follows; Firstly, agile strategy formulation tool such as business intelligence and scenario planning should be adopted for the flexible business planning. Secondly, speedy decision making process should be made. Thirdly, open communication and empowerment process should be made. This paper can present the method of evaluating and diagnosis of value innovation capability of SMEs and innovation strategy formulation process.

본 연구는 기업이 기술제품을 도입한 후에 내부에 확산시키려고 하는 실행단계에서 직면하는 혁신저항에 영향을 미치는 요인과 혁신저항을 줄이고 확산을 증진시키는 확산촉진활동을 설명하여 2B 마케팅 상황에서 기술제품의 조직내 혁신저항-확산모델을 도출하였다. 기업에서 기술제품을 조직내에 확산시킬 때는 구성원들의 혁신저항을 접하게 된다. 소비자 행동에서는 혁신저항에 영향을 주는 변수로 개인변수와 제품변수를 제시하고 있지만 2B 마케팅에서는 조직구조변수와 구매센터변수가 추가적으로 영향을 주게 된다. 중앙집권화, 공식화정도가 높은 기업에서는 구성원들이 혁신저항을 가지면서도 사용할 수 있다. 이러한 경우에는 판매기업과 구매기업의 관계가 단기적인 관계로만 그칠 수 있다. 또한 구매센터 참여정도가 적고 구매센터가 집중화되어 있으면 혁신저항이 커지고 단기적인 관계만 형성될 가능성이 커진다. 그리고 제품의 지각된 위험, 적합성에 따라 혁신저항의 정도가 달라질 것이다. 그리고 사용자 개인의 지각된 자기능력, 현 제품의 만족도 등이 의미있는 조절 변수 역할을 할 것이다. 그러므로 장기적인 관계로 이어지기 위해서는 혁신저항을 줄이는 교육훈련, 제품개선, 부서간 조정, 개인적 동기 부여와 같은 확산촉진활동이 있어야 한다. 따라서 본 연구를 통해 판매기업과 경영자들은 기술제품에 대한 혁신저항을 극복하고 제품을 확산시킬 수 있는 학문적, 관리적 시사점을 얻을 수 있을 것이다.

Finns are central economic agents that play an important role in systems of innovation as they take responsibility for generating and diffusing knowledge in both organizational and societal context. They must be considered as learning organizations which interact with other finns and institutions that share their environment. The systems of innovation literature accentuates institutional conditions that influence innovation in sectoral, regional or national levels. Meanwhile, it tends to ignore the complex dimensions of finn practices in relation to learning and innovation activities. In this context, this paper attempts to examine what finns do for sustaining innovation and how they learn to innovate. This is not just critical to know individual finns innovativeness which depends on interactions with environments within and outside the organizational boundary but also to evaluate the regional innovation system potential. In short, it is important to see that finns would attempt to take advantage of distributed knowledge within and across the boundaries of the finn without sticking to particular regional innovation systems. I argue that the more finns of a cluster attempt not only to combine localized sources of knowledge and external sources of knowledge but also to become a learning organization, the more increased regional innovation system potentials can be.

기존 연구에서는 꾸준히 조직 구성원의 창의성을 향상하는데 있어 리더십이 매우 중요한 역할을 한다는 점을 강조해왔다. 수많은 연구가 리더십과 창의성의 관계를 언급하고 있지만 벤처창업의 핵심이라고 할 수 있는 기업가적 리더십에 관해서는 여전히 연구가 부족한 편이다. 이를 감안, 본 연구는 조직 내 혁신 분위기의 조절효과 및 구성원의 심리적 임파워먼트의 매개효과를 토대로 기업가적 리더십과 구성원의 창의성 간의 인과관계를 분석하였다. 국내 중소·벤처기업에 근무하는 161명의 구성원을 대상으로 설문을 진행, 분석한 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 구성원의 심리적 임파워먼트는 리더의 기업가적 리더십과 구성원의 창의성 간의 관계를 긍정적으로 매개하는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 구성원의 심리적 임파워먼트에 미치는 리더의 기업가적 리더십의 효과는 조직의 혁신 분위기가 높을 때 더욱 강하게 발휘되는 것으로 나타났다. 즉, 조직 내 혁신 분위기는 리더의 기업가적 리더십과 구성원의 심리적 임파워먼트의 관계를 긍정적으로 조절하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 창의적인 벤처기업을 육성하기 위해 리더의 기업가적 리더십과 구성원의 창의성 간의 관계에 대한 포괄적인 시사점을 제공해주었다.

This study conducts statistical analysis based on a survey of 300 CEOs from Korean companies in order to examine the effects of a CEO's internal?external activities (information, knowledge management, learning organization) on business innovation activity (exploitative, exploratory) and business performance. Analysis results show that learning organization activity had a significant positive (+) effect on exploitative and exploratory innovation activity. In addition, knowledge management activity lacked statistically significant effects on exploratory innovation activity. Furthermore, exploitative and exploratory innovation activity was affected by CEO's internal?external activities (information, knowledge management, learning organization) and had a significant positive (+) effect on company's business performance. but it was shown that the level of influence was different. Results of this study imply that maximizing business performance through developing innovation activity by CEO's internal?external activities (information, knowledge management, learning organization) in the company, extracting activity advantageous to company's business environment based on activity perceived in the precedent study and business strategy becomes advantageous to the attainment of business performance objectives.

Recent research on organizational innovation, such as. new managerial processes, practices, suggests it can be an important source of firm's competitive advantage. The challenge is not only offering new products and services, but also changing the nature of management within organizations. In this study, we focus on management innovation at the organization level and investigate the role of transformational leadership behavior as a key antecedent. Transformational leadership may complement an organization''s increasing rigidity by maintaining a sense of meaningfulness in members of the organization, which may be more flourishing to organizational innovation. Due to its prominent role within organizations, CEO has the ability to greatly influence management innovation. In particular, we focus on leadership behavior and examine transformational leadership of CEO. Additionally, as contextual variables like organizational structure(complexity, formalization, centralization) may influence the impact of transformational leadership, we investigate its moderating role. Findings show that transformational leadership behaviors positively contribute to organizational innovation. In addition, our study indicate that less complex, less formal and less central, organizations have benefit more from transactional leadership in strengthening organizational innovation.

최근 글로벌 경제의 중장기적 불황과 성장률 하락에 기인하여, 대내외적으로 불투명한 환경하에서 생존하고 발전하기 위한 새로운 대안으로 새로운 상품이나 서비스를 탄생 시키고 생산방식의 변화와 업무 혁신을 통해 조직의 지속가능성을 높이는 조직구조에 대한 관심이 날로 높아지고 있다. 이런 분위기에서 중소벤처기업의 성장은 국가경제에 미치는 영향이 매우 지대하다는 것을 모두 공감 하고 있으며, 이러한 중소벤처기업이 기업 성과를 높이고 그러한 성과를 지속할 수 있도록 구성원들의 기술혁신역량을 높이기 위한 다양한 노력들이 지속되고 있다. 본 연구의 목적 역시 중소벤처 기업의 기술혁신 역량이 지식경영의 성과와 어떠한 상관관계를 가지고 있는가를 조사하고 기업의 전략적 활동을 조직화하여 가치창출에 사용될 자원 및 조직 능력을 외부 네트워크로부터 획득하게 하는 네트워크 역량이 어떤 역할을 수행하는지에 대해 분석 하는데 있다. 즉, 중소벤처기업의 기술 혁신역량이 네트워크 역량을 매개변수로 하여 지식경영 성과에 미치는 영향에 관한 연구를 중심으로 진행하였다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 기술혁신역량이 중소벤처기업의 네트워크 역량을 매개로 삼아, 기술혁신역량이 지식경영성과에 정(+)의 영향을 미칠 것이라는 가설을 검증하고자 한다. 기술혁신역량을 기반으로 한 경제활동의 불확실성이 높아진 환경 하에서 새로운 변화에 신속히 대응하며, 장기적 경기 침체 극복은 물론이고 거시적 경제 성장과 발전을 이끌어 조직의 지속적 성장과 생존뿐 아니라, 국가의 신성장 동력이 될 수 있도록 하여야 한다. 그리고 조직 내의 가장 중요한 지식경영 성과를 종속변수로 설정하여 본 연구를 진행하였다.
