기술의 복합성이 증가하고 제품의 존속 수명주기가 불확실해지면서 기술개발자가 의도하는 바와는 관계없이 사업 영역과 기술기반의 변하고 있다. 이러한 환경 속에서 산업 내 기술의 특성을 분석하는 이른바 산업기술분석 역할은 매우 중요하다. 그러나 그 범위가 매우 광범위하고 그 중 기술개발에 있어 관련된 산업기술분석의 프레임이 구체적으로 적용된 사례를 제한적이다. 따라서 다양한 산업을 지원하는 정부 기술개발 기회의 경우, 반도체에 적용되는 모듈러 기반 기술개발 틀과 성과분석이 항공기, 지능형 로봇과 같은 복합 시스템 산업에 그대로 적용해왔던 것이 현실이다. 이는 기술을 제품화함에 있어 필수적인 개발시스템의 기술적 속성이 산업기술 분석 방법론에 효과적으로 체화되지 못했기 때문이다 본 연구는 시스템과 서브 부품으로 구성되는 제품설계 특성을 구조화한 제품 아키텍쳐 이론을 소개하고 이를 기술개발체계에 적용하는 실증적 연구를 수행한다. 실증적 분석을 위해 항공기 개발 전 과정을 분해하고 아키텍쳐 분석방법을 실제 적용하였다. 아키텍쳐는 대표적으로 모듈 형(Module)과 인테그랄 형(Integral)으로 구분한다. 실제로 한 가지의 제품 안에도 모듈형 부품과 인테그랄 형 부품이 복합적으로 혼합되어 있는 경우가 많다. 또한, 제품을 어느 레벨까지 분해할 지에 따라 모듈화의 정도도 달라 질 수 있다. 본 연구는 아키텍쳐 중 Integral 속성의 정도를 파악하여 아키텍쳐 정도를 파악하였다. 측정 기준으로 첫째, 타 부품과의 기능적인 상호연관성과 둘째, 체계종합 설계와의 상호의존성 두 가지를 설정하였다. 이러한 두 가지 아키텍쳐 기준을 547개의 항공우주 부품 및 기술을 적용해 본 결과, 항공기 개발과정은 총 $65\%$의 인테그럴 속성을 가지고 있으며 기술분야 별로 아키텍쳐 정도가 다르게 나타나고 있었다(전자 부품은 분야는 오히려 모듈형에 가까웠음). 비단 항공기 개발과정 뿐만 아니라 다른 산업, 제품에도 적용될 수 있는 틀을 마련함으로써, 기존 연구개발기회에서 산업기술 분석을 통한 체계적 기획으로 전환할 수 있는 새로운 대안을 제시한다. 결과적으로 산업기술의 특성과 구조를 반영한 기술개발 방법론으로 아키텍쳐 이론을 적용할 수 있는 단초를 마련했으며, 이것은 본 논문이 기대하는 바이기도 하다.

To date, the literature has focused on formal R&D activities, such as internal, joint or external R&D, but informal R&D activities, such as job training or design, can also have a positive impact on technological innovation. To address this research gap, this paper examined 1) the influence of informal R&D activities on innovation adoption, and 2) the differences between formal R&D-oriented and informal R&D-oriented firms in process and product innovation. For this, statistical analysis was conducted using the data set from 2012 Korea Innovation Survey. The results suggest that 1) informal R&D activities can influence process innovation, and 2) firms engaging in both informal and formal R&D actively adopt product innovation. Findings suggest that 1) firms should recognize the importance of informal R&D and 2) national R&D policy should reflect the positive role of informal R&D in technological innovation.

This paper examines the effect of innovation strategy and R&D organization on the innovation performances in the Korean small and medium sized enterprises(SMEs). For the SMEs with limited resources and capabilities, the one of key strategic issues is to allocate innovation resources to the exploitation of existing technological capabilities and/or the exploration of new technological capabilities. Based upon survey data from 769 SMEs, this study investigated relationships among exploitation and exploration strategies, the existence of R&D organization, and innovation performance. Exploration is positively related to product and process innovation performances across the industrial sectors. However, exploitation is positively related only to the process innovation performance in the traditional manufacturing sectors. The existence of R&D organizations has positive effects on the product innovation performance and not on the process innovation performance. Finally, it discusses the managerial implications, the limitations of this study and the future research directions.

This paper explores the characteristics of innovation activities in high growth firms that contribute to national and regional economic growth and job creation. The analysis is based on the 2016 KIS data to analyze the difference in innovation activities between high growth firms and general firms. The main results are as follows: First, high growth firms have a higher proportion of R&D personnel than general firms. Second, high growth firms are actively introducing product innovation, process innovation, and organizational innovation as compared to general firms. In the innovation activities related to product innovation and process innovation, there is no statistically significant difference between high growth companies and general companies except for external R&D. Third, High growth firms are more likely to cooperate with other technology partners than general firms. But, there is no statistically significant difference between high growth firms and general firms in the external knowledge search and the diversity of cooperating partners. Fourth, in terms of protecting innovation, high growth firms are more likely to use all kinds of innovation protection method, such as 'utilizing intellectual property rights', 'maintaining confidentiality', 'adopting complex design methods', 'market preemption ahead of competitors', and the most important means is the intellectual property rights. Fifth, government innovation policies that high growth firms chose as important are 'innovation subsidies and loans', 'acquirement, utilization and protection of intellectual property rights' and 'human resource support'.

Variables such as R&D capability and organizational orientation have been dealt with in previous studies on factors that affect the success of new products/services in technology-based companies, but there have been few studies examining the causal relationship of these variables from an integrated perspective. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the effect of the organizational orientation and R&D capability of technology-based SMEs, consisting of customer orientation, innovation orientation, and competitor orientation, on the success of new products/services. In addition, we want to analyze the influence of a company's product/service competitiveness on the success of new products/services. The survey was commissioned by a research company, and 382 valid copies were analyzed by conducting a survey to corporate members in the technical job-related industry. The questionnaire analysis was performed using SPSS 26.0 and Smart PLS 3.0.Customer orientation, innovation orientation, and competitor orientation were found to have a positive effect on product/service competitiveness. It can be said that market changes in product/service competitiveness, technology improvement capability, target market analysis, etc. meet the objectives of most research projects, such as the success of new products/services. In addition, product/service competitiveness was found to have a positive effect on the success of new products/services. It can be seen that R&D capability has a positive effect on the success of new products/services and plays an important role in business expansion of SMEs. From this analysis result, it was found that the organizational orientation and R&D capability of a company have a positive effect on the success of new products/services. Based on the results of this study, implications were presented on the factors that a company must have for the success of new products/services.

Traditionally, the value of a product or service was provided to customers by the manufacturer. However, in modern society, participation of consumers in the production of goods and services is widely integrated into the general activities of corporations. Collaborative innovation refers to the company and customer working together in creating value with the customers participating in the designing, production, marketing, and sales of products. Accordingly, it would be ill-fitted to conduct collaborative innovation using previous business methods. Though collaborative innovation in the business sector is expected to increase, there are limits to its implementation at present. This study proposes framework in developing collaborative innovation-purpose business models and a conceptual platform for its execution.

First question: what makes inclusive design truly inclusive? Most inclusive design products are far from being appealing to their intended customers. This is mainly because designers are typically concerned with enhancing the usability, and not the emotional value that creates the connection between the product and the users. Typical solutions are larger displays and larger buttons, and these solutions often make the product less tasteful, graceful, and favorable. As a result, such products become less inclusive, veering from the original intention of the designers. Emotional design is not about making fun products, but about enjoyable products. Positive emotional design increases the affection value in products that enable users to create emotional connection with products. With the emotional connection, the user can engage in learning about the product as well as enjoy using the product. This can also resolve most usability issues by increasing the attention level and decreasing boredom. When more people feel that a product is enjoyable, it becomes more inclusive. Second question: Can't inclusive design have innovative value? Most inclusive design products are far from being innovative, and thus, they cannot create market opportunities. While emotional design approach increases value for users, innovative design approach creates value for the businesses. This will eventually promote development of inclusive products. This paper discusses the benefits of emotional design approach in inclusive design. It also argues how emotional design can help make inclusive design more innovative. Accompanied exemplar design process illustrates how emotional design contributes to inclusive design and how it leads to innovative products.
