In industrialised countries, innovation is a key source of economic growth. Rrsearch is a key driver of technological innovation and involves the process of systematic investigation and/or experimentation to discover new knowledge. The Governments'industry innovation policy supports a business focus on Research and Development (R&D) through a range of programs in order to achieve these aims. The Innovation Statement (DISR 2000, 20010, launched by the Australian Prime MinisterJanuary 2001, commits an additional ${\$}$3 billion over five years to encourage and support innovation. The Australian Government aims toworld competitive firms and strong research capability in industry to strengthen Australia's international competitiveness and increase national prosperity. It develops policies and programs to enhance investment in innovation. The Australian Government has established a number of R&D funding support programs aimed at increasing the level of R&D in Australia. The backbone of these programs is the tax concession program, which is made up of the 125 per cent R&D tax concession, the 175 per cent premium tax concession and the tax offset. Over 4000 businesses take advantage of the tax concession scheme, which costs the government around ${\$}$400mi11ion a year. This cost is expected to rise to over hall a billion by 2005-06 (commonwealth or Australia, 2003). Ensuring these resources are invested where they provide significant national economic benefits is a major policy issue. In this sense, this paper looks at the appropriateness, effectiveness and efficiency of the R&D tax concession with costs and benefits analysis.

This paper presents the findings of a visiting scholarship research that was carried out at the Faculty of Engineering, University of Technology Sydney, Australia. Based on the extensive literature review, government databases and international statistics, it introduces an analytical framework for comparison of the national innovation systems (NIS) of China and Australia in regards to their strengths and weaknesses. This is done through individual examination and comparison of functions of typical institutions involved in innovation to reveal the structural characteristics and performances of the two systems. The interactions among these institutions are then analysed to illustrate their dynamics and efficiency. The comparison has shown clearly that China's NIS has several weaknesses and gaps due to its developing and transition stage. There are positive signs that Chinese Government has recognised the nature and scope of the problem and seems to work in the right direction. This paper aims to support this process by providing some recommendations that could help bridge the gaps between the NISs of China and Australia. Due to the fact that both, China's and Australia's NISs, have their unique characteristics but share numerous complementary features, there is a large potential for further cooperation between the two national innovation systems.

This research aims to examine the relationships among entrepreneurial orientation, organizational learning capability, firm innovation, and firm performance. To achieve a data collection, a mail survey procedure via questionnaire was implemented by using executives or managers of gems & jewelry industries, textile and clothing industries, leather and accessories, fashion apparel industries in Thailand as the key informants. Of the surveys completed and returned, 388 were usable. Hence, a model with a structural equation was used to evaluate the data survey of 388 respondents. The results reveal that, in terms of the mediating effect, organizational learning capacity and firm innovation can complement each other in order to improve entrepreneurial orientation. Findings show that entrepreneurial orientation improves firm innovation, which in turn improves firm efficiency. Firm innovation acts as a variable mediating between enterprise orientation and firm performance. Our findings contribute to the current emergence of organizational learning capacity that mediated the relationship between entrepreneurial orientation and firm performance. Entrepreneurial orientation is normally a firm performance that enterprises develop which can have use the information available and make an impact. It can be considered through the mediation of organizational learning capability, and firm innovation variable and as stated in previous literature, it can influence firm performance.

지금껏 국가연구개발사업의 효율성 평가는 성과물로 도출된 결과치에만 의존함에 따라 사업 고유의 특성을 충분히 반영하지 못하였다. 따라서 본 연구는 사업 고유의 특성이 효율성에도 반영될 수 있는 방안으로 평가위원과 효율성을 연계하는 모형을 탐색하였다. 이를 위해 본 연구는 평가위원의 인식을 검토할 수 있는 AHP 방법과 효율성을 분석할 수 있는 DEA방법을 접목하여 분석하였다. 또한 사례분석을 통해 가중치 적용 이전의 연구결과와 비교 분석함으로써, 평가위원의 가중치가 효율성의 분석에 미치는 영향을 제시하였다. 본 연구는 사업의 효율성을 판단할 때 평가위원의 인식을 고려해야 한다는 점을 제시한 것으로 현행과 같이 평가위원의 참여와 역할이 사업의 평가에 국한되지 아니하고 사업의 효율성 평가에도 확대되어야 함을 보여주고자 하였다.

As all the other managerial activities, total quality management (TQM) has also inputs into and outputs from the process. Therefore, the principal managerial efficiency criteria of maximum outputs with minimum inputs should be applied to TQM. In this paper, the methodology for the performance evaluation of TQM by Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) was proposed. DEA is used to measure the efficiency of TQM for each firm with the input and output data obtained by questionnaire. It is found that there are not significant differences between the firms with and without IS09000 certification and between the large and small-sized firms with respect to the TQM efficiency.

새로운 기술개발과 신제품 출시에는 막대한 연구개발비가 필요하고, 시장의 불확실성도 존재한다. 이에 비해 우리나라의 수출기업들은 선진기업에 비해 연구개발 투자비의 절대규모가 작고 누적 기술자산도 부족한 실정이다. 그러므로 개방형 혁신을 통해 외부의 기술을 활용하고 상대적으로 적은 연구개발 투자비의 효율성을 제고할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 우리나라 수출기업의 혁신활동에 따른 각각의 영향요인을 도출하고, 이러한 혁신활동이 수출성과에 어떠한 영향을 미치는가를 분석하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 먼저 혁신활동을 폐쇄형 혁신활동과 개방형 혁신활동으로 구분하고, 혁신활동의 영향요인인 기업특성요인, 연구특성요인, 상품특성요인을 독립변수로, 수출성과를 종속변수로 하는 다중회귀분석을 실시하였다. 회귀분석결과 기업규모, 신상품 출시기간은 혁신활동 각각에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으나, 연구역량과 연구성과는 폐쇄형 혁신활동에만 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 개방형 혁신활동은 수출성과에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으나, 폐쇄형 혁신활동은 수출성과에는 유의한 영향을 미치지 못하는 것으로 나타났다.

In this study, we estimated a CES production function for the Korean economy. We have found in the empirical results that the elasticity of the factor substitution is less than one and that the Korean economy exhibits labor-saving technological progress. In addition, we obtained the regression coefficient of R&D investment on technological change, i.e., the elasticity of R&D investment with respect to the technological change was 0.26% point. It implies that if R&D stock increases by 1%, labor efficiency increases 0.26% point through technological progress which is Hicksian non-neutral. It confirms that innovation-based growth strategy by increasing R&D investment would be effective on the one hand. Some policy consideration on the other might be needed for an increase in employment which is offset by technological progress.

Academic Capitalism is one of main steams that university has made. Academic Capitalism means that the resource allocation in the university is made by market forces. Persons who advocate the traditional Ivory Tower will resist the market mechanism in university's resource allocation. But, in several aspect, market mechanism has been in action in the university, whether we recognized it or not. In this paper, five directions of Academic System Innovation were suggested. First, competition among universities should be enforced through decentralization and autonomy. Second, competition among researchers shoul be enforced. Third, government should enlarge the portion of 'use-inspired basic research'. Fourth, autonomy of research units in a university should be enlarged for university's competitiveness. Five, government should provide the environment for structural coupling between university and regional society.

Open innovation concept is advocating the importance of the customer roles in firm's innovation. As a result, crowdsourcing community is drawing attention as a strategic asset for open innovation across diverse industries. Considering that the goal of crowdsourcing community is harnessing innovative ideas, understanding the characteristics of user-favorable and organization-adoptable ideas can enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of idea crowdsourcing. In our approach, we extracted idea content-based characteristics such as subjectivity, negativity, prosocialness, and depth of idea to examine what are the factors that affect user preference and organizational adoption. An analysis of 71,134 ideas from MyStarbucksIdea.com shows that there are significant differences between user-favorable and organization-adoptable ideas in terms of idea characteristics. Lastly, both theoretical and managerial implications are discussed.
