This study explores the effects of exports on the innovation of Korean firms listed on two Korean stock markets, the Korean Stock Exchange and the Korean Securities Dealers Quotations, between 1999 and 2016. By matching exporting firms to non-exporting ones with propensity score matching, this study accounts for a problem from sample selection bias that may arise from differences in firm-characteristics between the two groups. From the study results, first, both export participation and export volume significantly increase subsequent innovation performance, as measured by the number of patent applications. This result seems to support the "learning by exporting" hypothesis for Korean listed firms. Second, both export participation and export volume narrow innovation scope, proxied as the number of unique International Patent Classification (IPC) codes of the patent applied, the degree to which patents are concentrated in a particular class, and the degree of proximity in the patents. The findings of innovation scope suggest a possible explanation that the learning effect appears in familiar technology fields that firms have previously held, rather than in unfamiliar ones. Third, these results are robust using alternative proxies in the innovation scope, Tobit regressions to consider the non-trivial portion of sample firms with patent applications equal to zeros, and generalized method of moments (GMM) to control for the persistence of innovation measures hearing over years. Finally, the two main results are more pronounced in large firms than in small and medium-sized ones. As for Chaebol firms, however, these results do not appear.

본 연구는 혁신유형과 네트워크 형태간의 관계를 탐색적으로 고찰하였다. 즉, 기업의 혁신유형에 따라 사회적 자본의 특성이 어떻게 다르게 나타나는지를 실증 분석하고 있다. 이 관계를 검증하기 위해 2005년 6월에서 7월 사이에 실시된 "경북 IT기업 기술혁신활동 조사"에서 나타난 168개 기업 자료를 실증적으로 분석하였다. 분석은 IT기업의 기술혁신 유형변수로 '탐색형 기업', '활용형 기업'으로 구분하였고, 사회적 자본은 네트워크의 형태를 나타내는 '구조적 변수'와 강도를 나타내는 '관계적 변수'로 구분하여 구성형태를 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 탐색형 기업에서는 네트워크의 범위가 넓고(sparse network) 약한 연계(weak tie) 관계를 가지는 반면, 활용형 기업에서는 네트워크가 범위를 좁고(dense network) 강한 연계(strong tie) 관계를 가지는 것으로 나타났다.

The purpose of this research is to analyze the impact of business scope and technological capability on firm performance in SMEs. Existing studies on business scopes and technological capabilities have focused on the unilateral relationships with financial performances. This study examines the independent and interaction effects of business scopes and technological capabilities on financial performances of SMEs in capital industries. Based on 228 firm-level data, technological capabilities have positively significant impacts on performance. Business scope measured by product variety and number of buyers have been significantly positive relationships to financial performances. Also SMEs with technological capabilities can moderate the effects of business scope on their performances. However, the results show different relationships depending on measurements on business scope, technological capabilities and performance. The results provide interesting findings on strategic behaviors of SMEs when they pursue growth strategy through expanding business scopes and building technological capabilities.

Traditional analyses of patent system have considered innovations in isolation and precluded the technological interrelationships between innovations. Common feature of cumulativeness during the process of technological change, however, brings the scope of patent protection into the major policy concern and currently occupies the central position in recent patent reform controversy. This study surveys the recent developments in the economic analysis of patent scope with corresponding introduction to the legal perspectives regarding patent scope. Although the issue of patent scope is complex in nature and depends crucially upon technological environment and the nature of innovations, this study can enlarge the understanding of the pros and cons of patent scope policy, which will become increasingly disputable in the forth-coming era of specialized patent court in Korea.

Measuring performance of corporate information system has become one of the core issues in that development of the information system requires substantial amount of investments and the system works as a crucial leverage to enhance competitive edge. Most of the previous researches for performance of the information system have narrow and limited focus on such as the effect of user satisfaction and productivity. This paper suggests a model to measures the comprehensive performance which is classified as user scope (user involvement and satisfaction), operational scope (task productivity, task innovation, customer satisfaction, management control) and efficiency scope (financial performance), and to represent the relationship among the scopes by the path analysis model. Followings are conclusions from statistical hypothesis test of the model: (i) user involvement through user satisfaction has positive effect on all the performances in the operational scope, (ii) task innovation and customer satisfaction in the operational scope has statistically significant impact on financial performance but task productivity and management control do not. This conclusion indicates that task productivity and management control has the long term effect in nature, and evaluation of the information system has managerial implication when it Is measured in comprehensive performance which includes internal operational performances as well as financial performance.

본 연구는 우리나라 자본재 산업의 중소기업을 대상으로 사업영역과 기술혁신역량이 경영성과에 미치는 영향을 실증 분석하였다. 자료는 지역별 산업단지 관리공단의 도움을 받아 1,077개의 중소제조업체를 대상으로 조사하였고 그 중 자본재 산업에 속하는 228개 기업을 분석하였다. 실증 분석 결과, 사업영역에서 제조제품군수가 영업이익률에 정(+)의 영향을 미쳤다. 기술혁신역량에서는 지적재산권수가 매출성장률에 정(+)의 영향을 전문기술인력비는 영업이익률에 정(+)의 영향을 미쳤다. 또한, 사업영역과 기술혁신역량 의한 상호작용 효과도 존재하는 것으로 나타났다. 전문기술인력비가 높을수록 제품다각화가 경영성과에 정(+)의 영향을 미쳤고, 지적재산권이 많을수록 거래고객과 제조제품군수는 영업이익률과 매출성장률에 각각 정(+)에 영향을 미쳤다. 이러한 연구결과는 자본재 산업의 중소기업들이 경영성과를 제고하기 위해서는, 기술능력을 축적하고 사업영역을 확대해야함을 의미한다. 또한, 기업들이 사업영역을 확대하기 위해서는 먼저 내부의 기술혁신역량을 축적하는 것이 필요하다는 점을 시사한다. 특히, 고객의 범위를 확장할 때 새로운 고객의 욕구를 충족시킬 수 있는 기술역량을 가지고 있어야 함을 의미한다. 그리고 기술혁신역량이 높은 기업일수록 중소기업의 제조제품군수의 확대는 경영성과를 개선할 수 있다는 점을 뜻한다.

이 연구는 중국 기술경제학회가 발행하는 '기술경제'지의 분석을 통해 중국의 기술혁신관리 분야 학술지에 관한 세 가설을 검증한 것이다. 첫 가설은 중국의 기술혁신관리 분야 학술지는 이 분야의 속성보다 국가속성이 더 크다는 것인데, 이 가설은 채택되었다. 둘째 가설은 편집진은 학술지를 대표한다는 것이었으나, 이 가설은 기각되었다. 셋째, 편집진 분포는 학술지가 다루는 주제범주를 나타낸다는 가설은 채택되었다. 중국의 이 분야 학술지는 모두 논문길이가 짧고 참고문헌의 갯수가 다른 나라에 비해 작으며 해외 참고문헌을 거의 인용하지 않는 특정이 있다. 또한 거의가 기술-기업-산업을 다룬다는 특징이 있다. 한편 분석대상 '기술경제'지는 다른 중국 학술지와 같은 범주이지만 다루는 기업과 산업의 내용범주가 더 넓고, 편집진은 저자대표라기 보다 상징적인 의미가 더 컸다.

A lot of organizations have been recognized innovative activities as the required process for organizational effectiveness and efficiency in those. Especially, the perceptual scope of innovation indisputability has been extended to the central and local government, and the public organization, which ultimately have the goal of public benefits. This study is to investigate the feasibility of the assessment elements consisting of framework for making a diagnosis of the level of administration innovation of local government. The elements of framework are such seven elements as innovative leadership, innovation vision and strategies, systematic infrastructure, innovative problems, innovation management, education and learning of innovation, and the perceptual level of members. The research results can provide the implications to not only local governments but also the public policy organizations who wish to extract the innovative problems and diagnose the innovation level of themselves.

Governments around the world place great hopes in innovation in their search for new sources of growth and for responses to grand challenges, such as climate change, new or re-emerging infectious diseases, accelerating urbanisation, ageing, food security, and availability of clean water. However they must devise their relevant support policies -- including through sponsored research within public research institutes -- taking into account that innovation processes are currently undergoing a major transformation. New innovation patterns include a broadening scope of relevant activities, a growing importance but changing nature of scientific roots of technological development, a stronger demand-pull, the emergence of new local and national STI powerhouses, and the rise of more open and globalised innovation networks. They translate into new opportunities but also constraints for policies to enhance the contribution of public research institutes to national innovation performance. The article derives the main policy implications regarding the desirable evolution of the mission, research focus, as well as the funding and steering of public research institutes, with a special reference to Korea.
