The effect of learning orientation on company innovation and innovation capability are explored based on survey data collected from 154 small and medium-sized manufacturing firms. The theoretical links between learning orientation and company innovation as well as innovation capability are investigated in four research models that compare textile and non-textile manufacturing firms. Learning orientation has a significant effect on company innovation and innovation capability in the model test. However, some of the three segmented factors (commitment to learning, shared vision, and open-mindedness) of learning orientation had no significant effect on company innovation and innovation capability. Company innovation and innovation capability of textile manufacturing firms are predicted by the commitment to learning and shared vision, whereas those of non-textile firms were determined by shared vision and open-mindedness. Differences show that firms may need to put weight on some distinctive aspects of learning orientation according to the business categories in order to enhance company innovation.

The purpose of this study was to compare and analyze characteristics of Gangwon Innovation City and Wonju Company Town. Both were created with similar purpose, place, time, and scale. However, they were created with different approaches: relocating public institutions and attracting private institutions. For research data, population microdata provided by the National Statistical Office were used. As a result of the analysis, the Gangwon Innovation City and the Wonju Company Town greatly influenced the population growth of Wonju and the movement of the population within Wonju. The influx of population into the study area brought positive changes in both demographic structure and population indices. Excluding relocation to Wonju-si, Innovation Cities and Company Town accounted for more than 50% of those who migrated from the metropolitan area (Seoul, Gyeonggi and Incheon). The supply of apartment houses (apartments) in the Innovation City and the Company Town stimulated the transfer from the inside of Wonju to this area. For households that moved to Gangwon Innovation City and Wonju Company Town, the most common reasons for moving in were housing, occupation, and family.
