This is the case study of SATREC INITIATIVE company which is the unique domestic production of commercial satellites. We examined the path and pattern for accumulation of technological capability and technology learning process. This case study show that the process of technological innovation and their influencing factors. First, the technological learning of the satellite industry follows the stage of technological acquisition, absorption, improvement and is embodied by the technological capability. Second, accumulated technological capability of the satellite industry influences the technology innovation. Third, the top management team(TMT) affects the technological learning and technological capability. Fourth, TMT has a moderating role between the technological capability and the performance of technological innovation. Finally, technological innovations in the small and venture business would be the source of technological capability and technological learning. The implications of this study are as follows. TMT has the very important role for the technological innovation and affect the technology development and the production. Also technology-based companies must gain a competitiveness advantage through technological learning and technological innovations for sustainable growth.

Far greater than ever before is the present industrial demand for skilled professionals in innovative product design and development. Yet there is an apparent lack of a sufficient curricular provision for training design professionals in almost all engineering schools. The present study is to propose a systematic procedure for developing a strategy for building an innovative product design curriculum and demonstrate its application. The procedure consists of three major steps: strategic element derivation, task formulation, and task execution roadmap construction. The proposed procedure was applied to develop a modular curriculum (a cluster of several related courses) covering various subjects in relation to innovative product design and development. The procedure seems quite effective and useful for developing a curriculum that is strategically well differentiated based on the unique characteristics of a particular educational institute and its applicability seems not limited to a specific domain.

The previous studies have investigated the effect of social capital on innovation performance. However, the previous studies investigating the relationship between social capital and innovation performance have assumed a black box in the linkage. According to the knowledge based view, firms with inter-dependent relationship can make innovation through sharing processes of knowledge. In other words, social capital as intangible resource results in knowledge management activities which can increase innovation performance. And increasing innovation can make relationship satisfaction promoting relationship investment gradually. Therefore, research hypotheses are made from social capital to relationship investment. From the empirical results, except for the effect of knowledge sharing on both product innovation and relationship satisfaction, almost all hypotheses are reported to be significant. And product innovation performance positively affects relationship satisfaction, and relationship investment is positively affected by relationship satisfaction. From this study, we can know the importance of knowledge management activities in strategic management view.

This article analyzes the evolutionary process of Daedeok Science Town from the standpoint of the life of science and technology poles. It deals the theoretical discussion on the science and technology poles, and investigates the history of Daedeok Science Town dividing into the period of conception, construction, and clustering. Daedeok Science Town has been developed from research and academic city through special research parks to innovative clusters, and nowadays emphasizes networking, interaction, and commercialization. This study shows the types of science and technology poles can be analyzed by historical consideration of specific Korean case.

IWRM은 지속가능한 발전 방향으로 수자원을 관리 및 개발하기 위한 기존의 정치, 사회, 경제, 행정 및 기술 시스템의 혁신과정이다. IWRM의 개념은 1992년 더블린 선언과 리우 지구정상회담에서 채택한 Agenda 21에 의해서 특별한 주의를 끌고 있다. 그러나 IWRM은 개념의 추상성과 어떻게 실행할 것인가에 대한 의문성으로 인하여 혼란을 주고 있다. 우리의 수자원 환경은 반복되는 물 부족, 수자원 개발과 환경보전의 대립, 수질 개선의 미흡, 수요관리의 요구 증대, 물 관리기관간의 제휴력 취약, 참여에 의한 수자원 관리 행정 미흡, 물 관리 재정 악화 등을 들 수 있다. 이런 현안들을 해결하기 위하여 IWRM에 대한 필요성과 관심이 집중되고 있다. 그러나 IWRM의 실행을 위한 진전은 더디게 진행되고 있고, 이런 결과는 IWRM개념 이해의 부족도 하나의 원인이 될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 IWRM을 물 관리의 새로운 혁신과정으로서 살펴보았다. 다대한 장해물을 가지고 있는 혁신은 한번에 모든 주요한 개혁을 수행하는 것보다 일단 변화를 촉진시키기 위하여 쉽고 실행 가능한 첫 출발이 중요하다. 본 연구는 IWRM의 이해도를 높일 수 있는 개념을 조사 분석하였고, 국내의 수자원 문제를 해결하고자하는 IWRM의 실행 노력을 살펴보았다.

This paper aims at analyzing the effect of the relationship between innovation intermediaries and firms on firms' absorptive capacity from the perspectives of social capital. And it also analyzes how firms' innovation environment influences on their absorptive capacity in this process. For this purpose, we carry out an empirical analysis on 200 firms in the Daedeok Innopolis, which is the representative innovation cluster in Korea. According to this study, firm's absorptive capacity is positively affected by the reliability and frequency of firms' communication with innovation intermediaries. However, the geographic proximity does not have significant influence. Also, the innovation environmental factors play a positive moderating role in the absorptive capacity of firms, and the social factors have a distinct significant influence on it directly. Based on these findings, this paper would make a contribution to recognize the importance of innovation intermediaries in innovation process and their role as preceding factors to firms' absorptive capacity, as well as innovative environment in the innovation process.

The concept of Regional Innovation System(RIS) has been developed with the accumulation of empirical research and the reflection on the political and economic environments. It is widely used as a nonnative concept to tackle the problem of regional disparities by enhancing regional innovative development. However, it seems that there is a gap between the theoretical framework of RIS and its actual application in reality. This paper attempts to extend our knowledge about RIS with critical viewpoint. It tries to unravel some values that RIS implies and its theoretical limitations, which were found through the evolution of RIS such as its theoretical roots, the development of its research and policy; and an example of its building in practice.

이 논문의 주된 목적은 문헌 분석을 토대로 '예측'에 관한 STS적 이해와 함의를 제공하는 데 있다. 역사와 철학적 측면에서 볼 때 '예측'은 과학기술의 발전과정에 존재해왔다. 과학적 연구방식에서 '예측'과 관찰은 필수적이었고, 물리학, 기상학 등과 같은 분과학문에서도 '예측'은 중요한 역할을 차지했다. 기술의 혁신과정에 있어 미래에 대한 예상과 기대(expectations)에 대한 연구의 중요성은 로젠버그(Rosenberg, 1982)가 일찍이 강조한 바 있으며, 최근에는 STS 연구자들이 이러한 기대의 중요성에 주목하여 이른바 '기대의 사회학'(sociology of expectations)이라는 연구분야를 개척해왔다. 이 분야에서 초창기부터 활동해 온 반 렌트(van Lente, 1993)에 따르면, 기술의 혁신과 발전과정을 이해하기 위한 삼각 축, 즉 인공물(artefacts), 행위자(actors), 어젠다(agenda) 중 어젠다에 해당하는 기대와 전망(expectations and promises)에 관한 연구는 상대적으로 부족했다. 이러한 현실 인식은 우리나라의 STS연구에서 여전히 유효하다. 기술에 대한 기대와 전망은 단순히 '행위자'에 종속된 아이디어 차원이 아니며, '예측' 그 자체가 기술혁신분야에서 중요한 연구대상으로 주목될 필요가 있다. 최근에는 미래를 연구 대상으로 하는 미래학(futures studies) 분야가 형성되어 STS연구와의 접점이 확대하는 중이다. 이 논문에서는 이러한 현실 인식을 바탕으로 과학기술을 구성하는 중요한 요소로서 '예측'에 주목하고, 이러한 '예측'의 STS적 함의와 연구방향을 제시하고자 한다.

본 논문은 EU의 TEPSIE 연구에서 정의한 사회혁신 생태계를 분석틀로 활용하여 한국 사회혁신 생태계의 현황을 살펴보고 발전방안을 제시하고 있다. TEPSIE가 정의한 사회혁신 생태계는 전사회적인 차원에서 '사회혁신'의 요소들을 담아냄으로써, 사회적 경제와 연관하여 사회적 기업을 논의하는 과정에서 다소 협소할 수 있었던 시각을 확장하여 구조적 환경과, 자원, 파트너쉽 등을 포괄하는 분석틀을 제공한다. 본 논문에서는 사회혁신기업을 둘러싼 구조적 조건, 수요와 공급 차원에서의 관련 요소들, 그리고 중간지원조직을 중심으로 핵심적인 내용을 분석적으로 담아내고, 이를 바탕으로 사회혁신 생태계의 발전 방안을 제시하였다.

Science and technology are regarded as public goods and knowledge in traditional innovation theory. Also, linear innovation model and technological determinism are derived from its theory. This is changed, however, in new innovation theory. Social shaping of technology is emphasized and interaction, network, system characters of innovation process are involved in its theory.
