This paper explores the triple helix innovation system in Food Valley in the Netherlands which is considered one of the most innovative food clusters in the world. The triple helix approach has been so far little tackled in the literature on innovation system and cluster. However, tills approach can be a useful tool for understanding the dynamic characters and knowledge transfer mechanism of industrial cluster. On the basis of an in-depth case study, we argue that Food Valley has evolved through four circles of growth in the triple helix innovation system. From the mid-2000s onward, it is seen that Food Valley has been on the stabilized circle in the triple helix system of innovation. Centered upon Wageningen UR, local universities and research centers play a pivotal role in building the triple helix innovation system. To cope with radical changes in markets and technology since the late 1980s, local firms have made a great deal of effort to reinforce the university-industry partnership. On the other hand, government agencies have played a critical role for establishing institutional milieu that facilitate university-industry partnerships and local knowledge transfer and spillover.

This paper examined the relationship between innovation and firm performance by integrating industry competitive context and firm-level knowledge constructs. After controlling for firm site, age, and the presence of a union, cross-section analysis of survey data from 1,419 medium sized manufacturing firms yielded following findings. The first was the expected positive relationship between firm-level innovation and firm knowledge and also industry dynamism, as measured by the intensity of industry-level R&D. This results indicate that industries with greater aggregate levels of R&D intensity are home to higher rates of firm-level innovative activity and managers must increase their numbers of technical staff and the level of training. But the interaction between firm knowledge and industry dynamism was non-significant. Second, innovation was not significantly related to firm performance, as measured by revenue growth. This relationship was not moderated by industry dynamism and firm level knowledge. In high and low technology sectors, the relationship between innovation and performance was non-significant, consistent with the full-sample analysis. The results suggest that the effects of firm-level knowledge assets and investments in training don't work in different ways in different industry settings. This research used three control variables to analyze innovation and firm performance. Firm age was negatively associated with firm performance and did not significantly predict innovation. Firm size was positively associated with innovation and performance in the low-technology sector. The presence of a labor union was not a significant with respect to innovation.

Using small and medium sized firms located on 3th seongseo industry complex in Daegu, this study investigated the effects of technology development factors on innovation performance, and suggested the implications in terms of technology policies. Technology development factors are categorized into both fundamental based factors and external cooperation based factors as independent variables. According to the research results, external cooperation based factor positively affects innovation performance, and this positive effect is reported in firms having more than average firm size. Under environment uncertainty, external cooperation based factor plays a key role to increase innovation performance to firms having more than average firm size. Therefore, policy making should be focused on external cooperation, not on fundamental base such as people and infrastructure, and also dissimilar policy suggestion based firm size is needed to be considered.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the factors affecting innovation capability and innovation performance of midsize company entering overseas market. More specifically, in terms of managerial, organizational, and employee - level factors, we set leadership, operating system, and taking charge at work as variables influencing innovation capability and tried to understand the effect of innovation capability on innovation performance through empirical studies. In addition, we examined the differences in the influence factors on innovation capability and the effect on innovation performance in the home country and overseas countries. As a result of the empirical analysis, all of the influence factors had a positive effect on the innovation capability and the innovation capability had a positive effect on the innovation performance. The degree of influence was in the order of operating system, leadership and taking charge at work. In China, there is no significant difference in the order of operating system, leadership and taking charge at work. In the case of Korea, operating system and leadership have a positive effect, but the employee's taking charge at work does not affect innovation capability. The results of this study are as follows. First, it is necessary to enhance innovation capability in accordance with local characteristics. In Korea, there are additional activities to induce employee's taking charge at work is required for improved innovation capability and innovation performance.

2019년 장애인경제활동실태조사에 따르면 장애인의 고용률은 35%, 실업률은 6.6%로 우리나라 전체 경제 활동 인구의 고용률 61.5%, 실업률 4.4%와 비교할 때 매우 낮은 수준을 보여주고 있다. 상대적으로 저조한 장애인의 취업 및 고용 상황을 개선하기 위하여 정부 주요 부처에서 활발한 노력을 하고 있으나, 장애인의 고용환경은 여전히 열악하여 장애인의 낮은 경제활동 참가율, 직종 선택의 제한, 지원 고용에 비해 낮은 일반고용률, 비정규직 치중 등 열악한 고용 형태의 질적 개선 등 장애인고용에 대한 정책적 지원이 더 개선되고 발전되어야 함을 내포하고 있다. 그에 따른 대안으로 장애인 창업이 주목을 받고 있다. 그러나 창업은 비장애인조차도 성공하기가 어렵고 실패할 확률이 높다. 장애인 창업의 경우 장애라는 특성으로 인해 실패할 경우 재기하기 어려운 상황에 처해질 가능성이 비장애인보다 높다. 따라서 장애인 창업의 특성을 고려하여 성공 창업 요소를 파악할 필요가 있으며, 그에 영향을 미치는 요인들에 관한 연구는 시급한 상황이다. 본 연구의 목적은 비장애인들을 대상으로 이루어진 기회 인식, 창업 의도, 기업가정신에 관한 선행 연구의 연구 결과를 바탕으로 장애인 창업자의 창업의지에 미치는 영향요인을 규명해 보고자 한다. 특히 장애인 창업자의 기회인식과 창업의지 사이에서 기업가 정신(혁신성, 위험 감수성, 진취성)의 매개효과를 검증하며, 이 과정에서 창업자의 창업 의도를 고취시킬 수 방안에 관해 논의해 보고자 한다.

This paper examines characteristics of producer service networks by comparing the Capital region with Gyeongsang region in Korea and provides implications for regional policies of producer services. We employ the data of the Korea Innovation Survey, compiled by Science & Technology Policy Institute in 2006 and analyze producer service networks in the two regions. According to the results of production networks analysis, producer service firms in Gyeongsang region serve to relatively limited areas of market whereas those in the Capital region serve to a larger market. No difference is found between producer service firms in the Capital region and those in Gyeongsang region for the types of major customers. Analysis of knowledge/information networks demonstrates that firms in the Capital region mostly count on informal networks while those in Gyeongsang region primarily rely on their suppliers as a source of key information. Firms in Gyeongsand region often gain key information from the Capital region. The results of Social Network Analysis show that both of the innovation networks for two regions are poorly connected. In order to promote producer services, each region needs strategic approach reflecting regional characteristics and demands of regional industries.
