Purpose - Although the importance and necessity of "sustainable supply chain management (SCM)" is emphasized, it is often not realized due to conflicting results, the long time required, and large-scale changes brought about by sustainability. This study used the innovation resistance model to confirm the influence of sustainable SCM innovation resistance factors and dynamic capabilities on adoption intentions. This approach made it possible to understand the factors that hinder adoption of sustainability practices and to identify the relationships among influencing factors. It should also help to establish effective policies or strategies. Design/methodology - Through a literature review, the characteristics of sustainable SCM were classified into relative advantage, compatibility, perceived risk, and complexity. The effects of these innovation characteristics on innovation resistance in sustainable SCM and the effects of innovation resistance on adoption intentions were confirmed. In addition, the effects of SCM capabilities on innovation resistance and adoption intentions were analyzed, and the mediating effect of innovation resistance was analyzed. Findings - Compatibility, perceived risk, and flexibility had significant effects on innovation resistance. In turn, innovation resistance had a significant effect on adoption intention, and flexibility had a significant effect on intention to adopt. A partial mediating effect of resistance to innovation was confirmed. Originality/value - Although many previous studies have acknowledged trade-offs with sustainability, most sustainable SCM studies dealt with the correlations among positive drivers of adoption, practices, and performance. This study confirmed the process of accepting sustainable SCM innovation in a single model and is expected to serve as a cornerstone for future sustainable SCM adoption studies. In addition, our findings should help establish effective policies or strategies to activate SSCM adoption by identifying the factors that hinder the adoption of sustainable SCM.

This study is to explore the ways to increase the export performance of start-up companies, as opportunities are rising along with more companies entering the global market. Thus the study analyzed the factors affecting export performance of the start-up company by mainly looking at the international marketing capabilities of enterprises type of marketing strategy and internal environmental capabilities. The following were derived as factors for marketing 4P strategy: innovation of product, flexibility of export price, differentiation of distribution channels, diversity of promotional activities, and positive-ness of promotion. For internal capabilities of enterprises, innovation of CEO, initiative of CEO, risk susceptibility of CEO, information power of export market, and information power of competitor were derived as factors. Two types of performances were considered for export performance, financial and non-financial. Among innovation of product and risk susceptibility of CEO the non-financial performance of export performance, and only differentiation of distribution channels of marketing 4p strategy the financial performance. It showed that since performance was different depending on the entrepreneurship of the CEO, only innovative products differentiated from small and medium enterprises. risk susceptibility of CEO increased export outlook by corporate acknowledgment and image, creation of potential customers, and financial performance affected only differentiation in distribution channel rather than entrepreneurial spirit, information power, or organizational flexibility because of short business career and insufficient period enough to gain trust. Therefore, start-up companies need to improve their non-financial export performance by increasing innovation of product and risk susceptibility of the CEO. The companies need to widen the differentiation of distribution channels in the financial export performance.

본 연구는 우리나라 중소제조기업의 수출성과 결정요인을 살펴보았다. 우선 기존 연구를 살펴보고, 수출성과 선행요인으로 기업가정신과 제품차별화 역량을 설정하였다. 또한, 수출성과의 선행요인으로서 제품차별화 역량을 기업가정신과 수출성과의 매개요인으로 분석하였다. 이로써, 기업가정신, 제품차별화 역량 그리고 수출성과의 통합적 모형을 구축하고 그 관계를 살펴보는 것을 연구의 목적으로 하였다. 실증분석에서는 국내 중소제조 수출기업 152개 표본에 PLS(Partial Least Square) 분석을 이용하였다. 분석도구는 SmartPLS2.0을 사용하였다. 분석 결과 중소제조기업 기업가의 위험감수성과 혁신성은 제품차별화 역량과 수출성과에 모두 긍정적 영향을 미쳤다. 제품차별화 역량 역시 중소제조 수출기업의 수출성과에 긍정적 영향을 준다는 점을 확인하였다. 매개효과 분석에서는 제품차별화 역량이 기업가정신 중 혁신성과 수출성과 사이에 유의한 매개효과를 나타냈다. 그러나 위험감수성에는 유의한 매개효과를 나타내지 못했다. 이러한 결과는 중소제조 수출기업에 제품차별화 역량이 필요할수록 적극적으로 혁신성향을 추구해야 한다는 점을 시사한다. 즉, 제품차별화를 시도할 때 위험감수성보다 혁신성향을 강조하는 것이 의미가 있음을 보여준다. 이에 본 연구는 제품차별화 역량의 매개효과를 분석한 점에서 동적역량이나 경쟁우위 관점에서 중소제조기업의 수출성과를 살펴보려는 연구에 이론적 시사점을 가진다. 또한, 중소제조 기업 경영자에게는 위험감수성과 혁신성의 역할이 모두 중요하지만, 낯선 환경의 외국시장 경쟁에 필요한 제품차별화 역량에는 혁신성향의 역할에 더 주목해야 한다는 실무적 시사점을 제시한다.

Korean enterprises have increased their R&D efforts to a large scale since the 1990s, especially after IMF jurisdiction period. The number of research institutes and R&D resources increased sharply. In line with the increase of R&D efforts, this paper investigates how well Korean firms manage R&D capabilities. According to our analysis, Korean enterprises adopt about the 2.3th to 2.7th generation of R&D management. In spite of insufficient R&D resources, Korean SMEs adopt a similar level of R&D management practice to that of big firms. However, some big enterprises have already adopted the 4th generation of R&D management. Also, many SMEs adopt a much lower level of R&D management than average level. In this sense, it is necessary to make an in-depth study on firms'R&D management capabilities by utilizing various factors of R&D generation model.

This study attempts to explore the evolution paths of Korean SMEs'strategies and their technological teaming processes. Several different evolution paths are identified based on a dynamic strategic group analysis of 115 SMEs'strategy in the Korean electronic component industry for the period of 1990-1995. Further, inadept case analyses on technological learning processes in 5 firms are undertaken. Major findings of this study can be summarized as follows : 1) There are three dominant evolution paths in SMEs'strategy. First path indicates the evolution from a subcontractor or petty imitator group(a strategic group with the narrow product/market domain and the low level of accumulated resource/capabilities) into an innovator group(a strategic group with the narrow domain but high level of technological capability) by accumulating technological capabilities. Second, some firms move from a subcontractor group into a generalizer group(a strategic group with broad product/market domain but relatively low level of technological capability) by simply adding product lines. Third path involves firms which evolve from a subcontractor group into a production focus group(a strategic group with high level of production capability) by investing in production capabilities. 2) An in-depth case analysis shows those who succeeded in technological learning are managed by CEOs, who have technological expertise and strategic vision, and have made an effort to establish management practices to support innovation, such employee educational program, performance-based reward system, etc. The successful firms also aggressively pursue diverse external linkages with outside technology sources to learn product and process technologies. Fiendly, this study discusses several implications of the findings for the theoretical development and strategic management of small firms in Korea.

This study attempts to explain the mechanism behind the migration from vertically integrated value chain architecture to an innovation ecosystem consisting of horizontally separated layers in value chain. We first present a comprehensive framework based on the theoretical analysis of the drivers for migration to an innovation ecosystem, which are standard (institution), capability distribution, and transaction costs. The theoretical framework suggests that the migration to an innovation ecosystem is explained by the influence of standard on the evolutionary change of capability distribution and transaction costs. In particular, when the new de-jure standard competes with the de-facto standard, the new de-jure standard has the greatest impact on the distribution capabilities and the transaction costs. Based on this theoretical framework, we analyze the latest SDN (Software Defined Networking) case of the network industry. SDN standard has transformed the industry from a vertically integrated value chain architecture to a horizontally separated one with its influence on the distribution capabilities and the transaction costs in the industry.
