The global Industry has been shaped by start-ups that originated with knowledge-based innovative strategies or technologies in the 21st century. Specifically, laboratory start-ups that rely on research papers or patents for new technology development are recognized for their high survival rate and the creation of employment opportunities. Our study concentrated on 'I-Corps', which also introduced in Korea, standing for innovation corps is a laboratory startup program launched in 2011 by the NSF(National Research Foundation) to commercialize R&D results and foster entrepreneurship as part of the policy to build a start-up system at the national innovation level. In this study, we proposed and empirically tested a research model focusing on teams participating in the I-Corps program to determine how startup team diversity, among the team characteristics of laboratory startups, affected patent performance. As a result of the analysis, among the proposed variables, age diversity, educational background diversity, and value diversity had a significant impact on patent performance. The results of this study are expected to further strengthen the theoretical and practical foundations of researchers or practitioners of the I-Corps program, as well as related areas involving technology & laboratory startups, intellectual property and knowledge management fields in the future.

Industrial cluster is basically related to the concept of knowledge management in that innovations are pursued through knowledge sharing and knowledge exchanges in the level of related industries or adjacent regions. Recently, assertions that knowledge management is worth of application in the level of an industry or regional industrial cluster appear in academics and practitioners. This study explores the characteristics and challenges of knowledge management when it is applied in the level of an industrial cluster. Critical concepts and research questions are developed from the review on previous studies and explored through interpretive case studies and in-depth interviews.

Many organizations are implementing Knowledge Management(KM) technologies to promote knowledge sharing. An extensive review of recent articles and journals about such implementations reveals that one of the main barriers to implementation of KM technology is the absence of an organizational culture that supports knowledge sharing. The purpose of this research is to explore the possible relationship between the successful implementation of knowledge management technology and specific organizational culture attributes. The Organizational Culture Profile(OCP) and the Knowledge Management Technology Profile(KMTP) instruments were used to identify and rank the most critical organizational culture attributes and KM technology implementation successes. Data were collected from twenty six US organizations involved in a KM efforts.

This paper investigates how TMT's cognitive traits affect R&D investment. Drawing on the attention-based view, we propose that TMT's future orientation and risk preference increase the level of R&D investment. As R&D activities have long-term goal of generating proprietary knowledge, it is important to understand how TMT's attention toward future and risk affect R&D investment. Also, we test the moderating effect of CEO duality on R&D investment. As the CEO plays a leadership role in the TMT, if the CEO's decision-making authority is highly concentrated, the impact of TMT on R&D may decrease. We measure CEO duality and CEO ownership stake as CEO characteristics. Based on a sample of 837 U.S. manufacturing firms, the results show that when TMT has a higher tolerance for risk and higher future orientation, R&D intensity increases. However, when CEO also serves as chairman of board and CEO has higher ownership, TMT's influence on R&D investment weakens. This implies that TMT and CEO has power dynamic that can change based on CEO power supporting status. Overall, it suggests that TMT's attention and CEO power are important factors to improve longer-term knowledge accumulation of firm.

According to resource based view, knowledge is regarded as a salient factor to improve an organization's efficiency in the current fast-changing business environment. Knowledge management (KM) may encourage employees to share and exchange knowledge in the organization in order to improve and sustain a competitive advantage over other companies. The proposed research model examines the impacts of KM performances' antecedents on an employee's absorptive capacity. This study identifies KM performances as employee's satisfaction about KM and shared knowledge quality. This study considers KM performances as the major determinants that enhance his/her absorptive capacity. This study also investigates the key antecedents of KM performances. The research model posits extrinsic reward, intrinsic reward, and relational reward as the KM performances' antecedents. Furthermore, this study examines the difference of the antecedents' effects in terms of firm's type. The proposed research model was tested by using survey data collected from 1,103 employees of 2 public enterprises and 907 employees of 5 private enterprises. The findings of this study showed that employee's satisfaction about KM and shared knowledge quality play a significant role in enhancing employee' absorptive capacity. Extrinsic reward only significantly influences employee's satisfaction about KM, whereas both intrinsic and relational rewards serve as the salient antecedents of improving both KM performances. The results also shed light on the moderating role of firm's type. Theoretical and practical implications of this study are discussed.

의미적 지식기반인 온톨로지(ontology)에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 온톨로지란 어휘나 개념의 정의 또는 명세로서, 인간과 컴퓨터의 의사소통 또는 지식의 표현과 저장, 활용 및 재사용을 위해 이용된다. 그러나 온톨로지를 구축하는 대부분의 방법은 체계적이거나 자동적이지 못하다. 도메인 전문가에 의존하는 전통적인 온톨로지 구축 방법은 시간과 비용이 많이 소요된다. 온톨로지 구축 툴은 많이 있지만 아직 인간의 노력을 필요로 한다. 또한 변화하는 도메인 지식을 온톨로지에 신속하게 반영하는 것은 어려운 일이다. 본 연구는 이러한 한계를 해결하기 위해, 도메인 전문가의 지식이나 경험을 최소화하면서 자동적으로 도메인 지식을 얻을 수 있는 방법을 제시하였다. 이 방법은, 데이터 기반의 도메인 지식을 대상으로, 베이지안 망(Bayesian network)이 갖고 있는 데이터 분석에서의 장점과 온톨로지와의 관련성을 이용하여 온톨로지를 자동적으로 구축하는 것이다. 평판(flat panel) TV 경기예측 사례를 통하여 온톨로지를 구축하는 과정을 알아보았다. 구축과정의 타당성을 확보하기 위하여 디스플레이 산업 전문가들과의 인터뷰를 통하여 온톨로지를 완성하고, 해당 온톨로지의 타당성 검증을 위하여 멤버체크를 한 결과 매우 높은 타당성을 얻을 수 있었다. 본 연구에서 제안하는 온톨로지는, 실제로 산업경기 예측을 계획하고 구축하며 미래 의사결정지원시스템을 설계하기 위한 주요 구성요인으로 제공될 수 있을 것이다.

Although Korea's records management has achieved administrative development not only in private companies but also in public institutions, administrators and employees still lack awareness in records management. Nevertheless, knowledge management has been studied for a long time as a pillar of administration. Thus, this study compared and analyzed the records management process suggested in ISO 15489-1:2016 and the knowledge management process. In addition, by comparing and analyzing the records management components suggested by ISO 30301 and those of knowledge management suggested by ISO 30401, it was confirmed whether records management could be an axis of management similar to knowledge management. Moreover, an integrated model of records management and knowledge management was presented based on the comparative analysis of processes and management elements, and its implementation was presented from administrative and information governance perspectives.
