The purpose of this study is to suggest directions for enhancing competitiveness of corporate management by examining how individual creativity and organizational members' value innovation culture perception affect innovation behavior and knowledge sharing, and how innovation behavior and knowledge sharing affect organizational innovation performance and management outcomes In order to achieve these research objectives, the measurement variables of each variable were extracted through previous research and 423 valid samples were analyzed using SPSS 22.0 statistical package program and LISREL 9.1 to verify a hypothesis. As a result of this study, it was found that the creative thinking skills of the individual creativity, the meaningful tasks of the value innovation culture recognition, and the risk - taking culture have a significant influence on the innovation behavior. Only the meaningful tasks of organizational members' value innovation culture perception affect knowledge sharing. Innovation behavior has a significant effect on knowledge sharing and innovation performance, but not on business outcome. In addition, knowledge sharing has no significant effect on innovation performance but has a significant effect on business performance. Finally, we confirmed that innovation performance has a significant effect on management outcome.

This paper, based on two engineering industry SME case studies, traces the origin and process of technological innovations enabling the development and introduction of new products leading to market expansion and enterprise growth. The study throws light on how entrepreneurs played a decisive role in recognizing market opportunities, building up crucial in-house technological capability, supplementing it with appropriate external assistance, to carry out technological innovations. A constant interaction with its customers is in-built into the system. As a result, the SMEs could achieve successful product innovations leading to their gradual growth, over time. Finally, based on the observations and inferences derived out of the two cases, a theoretical construct of the growth of innovation in SMEs is postulated. This is done linking the three stages of their development: (i) start-up and stabilizing, (ii) building up technological capability and implementing innovations; and (iii) opening up of new markets resulting in firm growth.

During the transformation of the agro-technology extension in rural China, many new Policy experiments are emerging to rebuild the lost linkages and to improve technology transfer with the system and among systems. Applying the Triple Helix Model of academy-agriculture-government relations, this paper explores a new pattern of technology transfer with the case of BaojiCity. The authors interpret the mechanism of 'Courtyards for Agro-experts', as well as the comparison between different types of courtyards. This article concludes that the Triple Helix in the agro-sector improves technology transfer and accelerates knowledge-based regional development. In the interest of farmers there should also be concern over reducing inequity the reform.

This paper reviewed the relationship between organizational justice and innovative behavior, and the moderating effect of gender. The results of multiple regression analysis, based on the responses from 412 employees in small business, showed that distributive justice, procedural justice and interactional justice have positive relationships with innovative behavior(process innovation, operation innovation, service innovation). In moderating effects, distributive justice more positively related with innovative behavior(process innovation and operation innovation) in male-group than in female-group. But interactional justice more positively related with innovative behavior(operation innovation and service innovation) in female-group than in male-group.

Since information technologies have become critical to business success as a tool for organizational Innovation, successful implementation of IT Innovation is viewed as one of the most crucial tasks for many organizations. This paper examines the fit between the relevant variables and the implementation types and its impact on the success of implementation. We clarify the concept of IT innovation by distinguishing between IT innovation object and IT innovation process. Four types of IT innovation implementation were classified according to the dimensions of implementation scope and implementation pace. We developed a set of relevant prepositions and examined them through multiple case studios following the Yin's case study methodology.

This paper reviewed the relationship between organizational commitment and incremental innovation, and the moderating effect of tenure. The results of hierarchical multiple regression analysis, based on the responses from 434 employees in service industry, showed that affective and nonnative commitment relates positively with incremental innovation, but continuous commitment relates negatively with incremental innovation. In the moderating effects, affective commitment appeared to have more negative effect on operation innovation in longer tenure employee group, and also nonnative commitment appeared to have more negative effect on process and service innovation in longer tenure employee group.

Service innovation has been considered to improve the value of enterprises, so that various research issues have been studied on innovating the services. Thus, in order to increase understandability of new service innovation mechanism, this study surveys the existing research results on service innovation factors, e.g., success factors, process, and performance. Consequently, we have found that service innovation can be reflected to service quality and value by interactive process between customers and enterprises. Also, such interactions are based on internal success factors (e.g., innovation strategy of organizations, domain knowledge, collaboration) and external success factors (e.g., customer participation, partnership).

As the external knowledge networks of firms have become more and more important to their product and service innovations, many global leading companies such as P & G, IBM, and Samsung Electronics have formulated and implemented their open innovation strategy. This study attempts to empirically analyze the effects of CEOs' supports for external knowledge networks, external knowledge network-oriented cultures and inter-organizational knowledge management systems as the major antecedents to external knowledge networks by using the data based on organizational members' perceptions about them. Based on 847 samples collected from employees in three companies in the medical, the construction and the IT service industries, this study performed a structural equation modeling (SEM) analysis about the effects of the antecedents to the external knowledge networks on product and service innovations through Partial Least Squares (PLS). The empirical findings of this study show that CEOs' supports for external knowledge network positively influence product and service innovations, partially mediated by external knowledge network-oriented cultures and inter-organizational knowledge management systems. And they also show that external knowledge network-oriented cultures and inter-organizational knowledge management systems have a positive effect on product and service innovations, respectively, partially mediated by external knowledge networks. With these new findings, academic and practical implications are discussed.
