Since technological innovation, adoption, and diffusion is a fundamental engine for a company's competitiveness and in turn a nation's industrial development, diffusion of technological innovation has been one of popular research themes to many researchers and scholars for decades. Especially, in today's knowledge-based economy, the IT technology became a fundamental infrastructure for a nation and thus their impact on a nation's economy has grown to be tremendous. This paper investigates the patterns of technological diffusion of 16 telecommunications services. Firstly, we identify the optimal diffusion model which represents the 15 IT innovation best in terms of goodness-of-fit. Secondly, based on the best model identified we cluster the 16 IT innovations according to their diffusion characteristics such as penetration rate and diffusion speed. Lastly, we categorize the innovations in terms of technology (voice-based innovation and data-based innovation) and demand (household-use and business-use) attributes, and compare their diffusion patterns and found some meaningful difference in diffusion patterns. We hope the result helpful to corporate managers as well as policy makers in relevant areas.

Korean technological innovation is characterized by large firm-leading and characterized sector such as electricity and electronics. We examine the relationship between two elements. Using patent data registered at USPTO by Korean firms, We examine the relationship between patterns of innovative activities and sectoral specialization. As a result, Korean technological innovation is characterized by relatively high asymmetry, big share of large firms, high stability of ranking of innovators and diminishing role of newcomer, therefore as close as Schumpeter Mark II. But technological specialization is associated positively with the big share of large firms, negatively with low stability of ranking of innovators. It means that Korean technological innovation is led by large firms, but quantitative growth and technological specialization is achieved through competition between them.

This paper tries to analyze the evolution of technological innovative pattern in system semiconductor industry from the perspective of the evolution of way by which knowledge is generated and its related evolution of inter-firm relationships. In particular, this paper focuses on the evolution of knowledge after the emergence of EDA as a design tool, as a main momentum. As a result of analysis, we can find out following things. First, the innovative activities have evolved from design activity-centered technology development to innovative activities focusing on searching activities for utilizing knowledge and technology. Second, with rising value of knowledge, creation of new market utilizing knowledge, and development of new industry and new technology through inter-firm relationship had been made, in addition to strengthened specialized technological division of labor. Third, with focusing on utilization of knowledge, inter-firm network has taken diverse forms for building complementary platform for co-development. This discussion can give an insight on the necessity of utilizing inter-firm network strategically and setting strategies for enhanced searching activities such as market creation and knowledge utilization.

기술혁신 시스템이 추격형에서 선도형으로의 변환과정에 대해서는 일부 개념적 모형이나 탐색적 연구가 개념적으로만 제시되었을 뿐 체계적이고 구체적으로 연구가 부족하다. 한국이나 대만 등 동아시아 국가들의 선진국 기술추격과 탈추격형 혁신시스템으로 진화에 대한 국제적인 관심과 연구가 크게 증가하고 있지만, 대부분의 기존 연구들은 거시적인 관점에서 국가 차원의 제도 및 정책, 산학연의 연구역량과 협력체계, 외국기술의 도입 및 활용 등을 기술추격의 성공요인으로 들고 있을 뿐, 미시적인 관점에서 탈추격형 기술개발 성과의 사업화 추진 전략과 방법, 지원정책에 대한 구체적인 대안을 제시하지는 못하였다(Lee & Lim, 2001; Hobday et al., 2004; Kim, 1997). 추격형에서 선도형으로의 변환과정에 초점을 맞추어 특히 그 중요성이 대두되고 있는 사용자들의 혁신 과정에서의 역할에 대해 사례연구를 통해 규명하고자 한다. 선도적 혁신에서 제품 및 공정상에서 사용자혁신의 패턴을 밝혀내면, 이를 위한 제도적 인프라를 구축할 수 있다. 궁극적으로 선도적 혁신을 위한 기술혁신시스템에서 사용자로서의 기업과 선도사용자인 고객의 역할이 중요해지고 있음을 반영하고, 이를 바탕으로 기술혁신정책의 패러다임 전환을 위한 시사점을 개진하고자 한다.
