시장 경제의 패러다임이 전통적인 제품 지배논리에서 서비스 지배 논리로 전환됨에 따라 서비스에 대한 체계적이고 과학적인 접근법의 필요성이 제기되고 있다. 이러한 필요성에 의해 최근 주목을 받고 있는 분야가 바로 서비스 사이언스이다. 서비스 사이언스는 서비스를 포괄적인 관점에서 바라보고, 분석하고 체계적으로 연구하고자 하는 새로운 학문분야라 할 수 있다. 본 연구는 최근에 제시된 서비스 사이언스 분석 방법론을 이용하여 현재의 서비스와 기술수준, 및 서비스 혁신간의 관계를 규명해 보고자 한다. 왜냐하면 기존의 연구들은 현재의 서비스 및 기술 수준과 서비스 혁신 노력의 관계에 대해서는 지금까지 별 관심을 보이지 않아왔다. 하지만 경로 의존성 (path dependency) 및 혁신자의 딜레마 (innovator's dilemma)를 고려할 때, 현재의 서비스 및 기술 수준과 혁신의 관계는 서비스 혁신의 연구에서 상당히 중요한 의미를 가진다고 볼 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 서비스 사이언스 분석방법론을 기반으로 서비스 수준의 차이에 따라 서비스 혁신 활동수준에서도 차이가 있는지, 서비스 혁신 활동 수준에 따라 서비스 활동 수준에서 차이가 발생하는지를 실증 분석해 보고자 하며, 또한 기술 수준이 서비스 활동 수준 및 서비스 혁신활동 수준과 어떠한 관련이 있는지 실증적으로 규명해 보고자 한다. 연구 결과 서비스 활동 수준에 따라 서비스 혁신 활동 수준에서 차이가 있는 것이 확인되었으며, 반대로 서비스 혁신 활동 수준에 따른 서비스 활동 수준의 차이도 존재하는 것으로 나타났다. 기술수준의 차이와 서비스 활동 수준 및 서비스 혁신 활동 수준간의 차이는 존재하지 않은 것으로 나타났다.

Developing new technologies and launching new products require a huge sum of money for Research and Development, and there is also market uncertainty. Comparing to advanced countries' companies, Korea's exporting companies have less investment cost in size for R&D and insufficient technology assets accumulated. Therefore, through the open innovation, they should use external technology and enhance the efficiency of the relatively little R&D investment. This paper draws the factors influencing the innovations of Korea's exporting companies, and then it analyses how each innovation influences export performance. First, innovations are devided into two; closed and open innovation. Multiple regression analysis has been done, considering influence factors of innovation such as company's characteristics factors, research's characteristics factors and products characteristics factors to be independent variables, and export performance to be a dependent variable. It shows that firm size and new products launching period have positive effects on each innovation, but research capability and research performance have positive effects only on closed innovation. And open innovation has positive effects on export performance, but closed innovation doesn't have.

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.

Focusing on open innovation which is regarded as an important framework for strengthening technological innovation capabilities, in this study empirical analysis is conducted on Korean manufacturing companies, particularly based on the survey results of 149 domestic manufacturing companies that carry out innovation activities in order to identify influence factors for open innovation activities. Analysis on the influence factors of open innovation activities categorized into characteristics of environment, firm-specific characteristics, and characteristics of institutions revealed that characteristics of environment in terms of the degree of market competition and technological changes influence outside-in open innovation activities. Such results suggest that companies respond to increased market competition or technological changes by promoting research and development (R&D) and maintaining or acquiring market competitiveness through introduction of external technology and utilization of external information by means of research collaboration, user innovation, and so on. In terms of firm-specific characteristics, outside-in open innovation activities are influence by R&D personnel, R&D investment, number of international business, export, and openness of corporate culture while inside-out open innovation activities are influenced by characteristics of international organization and CEO's capabilities. In order for companies to strengthen outside-in open innovation activities emphasis on research personnel, R&D input factors such as research funds are necessary whereas to increase inside-out open innovation activities organization solely responsible for international affairs should be established while the CEO needs to focus on open and cooperative entrepreneurship rather than internal technological innovation activities. In terms of characteristics of institutions, outside-in innovation activities are influenced by technological networking whereas inside-out innovation activities are influenced by networking for development of technology and the presence in industrial cluster. This means that the government needs to establish industrial clusters and try to expand technological networking to facilitate open innovation activities.

This study empirically investigates applicable possibility of open technology innovation with which the government is concerned, by figuring out the relationship between firms' innovation behaviors and innovation outputs and their utilization of information network. Empirical methodology was employed as logit regression to explain firms' innovation behaviors and the data set includes more than 2500 firms in the manufacturing sectors. First, empirical findings showed that firms' innovation competencies and behaviors can be explained as the trend of patent application, sales and innovation outputs significantly. The patents of small and medium-sized businesses are inclined to be positive to information sources of university and government-supported research institute and the sales increased when they had labs to concentrate on R&D. On the other hand, the existence of labor union turn out to be negative to their sales. Second, the types of information network which firms utilize turned out to be connected with their innovation behaviors and purposes. Third, four types of innovation, i.e., product, process, organization, and marketing innovation was employed and innovation behaviors and outputs are well connected.

This study explores the effect of open innovation activities on innovation performance by dividing into two dimensions of breadth and depth of open innovation activity, and it also verifies the mediating effect of technical protection between open innovation activities and innovation performance. In order to examine the hypothesis, it has surveyed 1,403 companies of manufacturing and service with experience in producing innovative results. The results find that the breadth of open innovation activities has a positive effect on the achievement of radical innovation, and the depth of open innovation activities brings a positive effect on the achievement of incremental innovation. The verification result of the mediating effect of technology protection indicates that partially mediated between the breadth of innovation activities and radical innovation activities, and in the case of the depth, it is completely mediated. The results of this study provide the crucial implications not only for the company promoting open innovation, but especially also for the companies promoting product innovation by acquiring technology.

In general, a technology and innovation strategy has been established first. Then, the technology and innovation activities are conducted accordingly. The literature on the technology management process points out that the technology and innovation activities exist in some sequences, nonlinear or linear pattern. However, it is also argued that a certain technology and innovation activity can be occurred or disappeared at certain timing. In this paper, it has been analyzed and clarified how the technology and innovation activities are performed and working together with the technology and innovation strategies in certain context especially when the handset market moves from feature phone to smartphone during a last decade. Empirical results show that the starting point of the technology and innovation activity changes according to the technology and innovation strategies. And, technology innovation activities exhibit multi-layer architecture types. It is confirmed that technology and innovation activities follow a specific pattern. However, if there are some changes in the technology and innovation strategy due to the external environment change, some technology and innovation activities can be skipped because the priority of the technology and innovation activities would be changed. If the firm which has the strategy type of 'innovators' fails to adapt to the fast changing external environment and has the inadequate technology and innovation activities, it is required to change the technology and innovation strategy. It will have a huge impact on the firm's survival.
