  • 2G HTS wire with high engineering current density is desired for applications where compact, high power density superconducting equipment is important. We have succeeded in enhancing engineering current density of commercial SuperOx 2G HTS wire based on GdBCO by increasing the HTS layer thickness without fast degradation of the HTS film microstructure. This was possible after improving the temperature uniformity along the HTS film deposition zone. In particular, the wire engineering current density was increased from 700-770 A/㎟ (for a 65 ㎛-thick wire without stabilisation) or 430-480 A/㎟ (for a 105 ㎛-thick stabilised wire) at the beginning of this study to almost 1200 A/㎟ (for a 67 ㎛-thick wire without stabilisation) or 770 A/㎟ (for a 107 ㎛-thick stabilised wire) at completion of this study.

  • The article examines the economic essence and approaches to determining the efficiency of the enterprise. The author in the study considers the effectiveness and from the standpoint of qualitative analysis of the effectiveness of change and implementation of enterprise development goals. It is established that the tool for ensuring qualitative impacts on the efficiency of the enterprise is the innovative development of the economic space of the enterprise. The article considers the dominant innovations that have influenced the means and methods of production. An organizational and economic mechanism has been recommended to coordinate the costs of innovation activities in order to ensure the efficiency of enterprises. The object of management in the organizational and economic mechanism is the innovation process in the enterprise: from the design of strategic goals of innovation, search and commercialization of innovations, to building and implementing innovation potential. The efficiency of the enterprise under the condition of realization of innovative potential will be characterized by steady competitive advantages and strategically-oriented behavior in the market.

  • The divide between the "digital" economy and the traditional "physical" economy is outdated. In fact, we are in a transition to a singular economy. This paper classifies economic objects (including actors) as either physical or virtual and argues that due to emerging technologies, these objects are interacting with each other in both physical and increasingly digital spheres in tandem. This paper recognizes the elemental difference between atoms and bytes but argues that physical and digital economic activities are becoming inseparably intertwined. Furthermore, arbitrarily dividing the economy into two categories - one "physical" and the other "digital" - distorts the overall view of the actual execution of economic activity. A wide range of innovations emerging concurrently is fueling the transition to a singular economy. Often referred to as the elements of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR), four emerging technological areas are reviewed here: distributed ledger technology, artificial intelligence/machine learning/data sciences, biometrics and remote sensor technologies, and access infrastructure (universal internet access/electricity/cloud computing). The financial services sector is presented as a case study for the potential impact of these 4IR technologies and the blurring physical/digital line. To reach the potential of these innovations and a truly singular economy, it requires the concurrent development of social, organizational, and regulatory innovations, though they lag in terms of technological progress thus far.

  • The paper examines the role of the informal sector on innovation activities of urban formal manufacturing enterprises in India. It provides empirical evidence on firm-level linkages between formal and informal sectors by using the World Bank Enterprise Survey, 2013-14 and the Innovation Follow-up survey, 2014. Primarily, the paper aims to examine the effect of informal sector competition on innovation in urban formal manufacturing enterprises in India. Secondly, the paper analyses the mediation effect of informal sector competition on innovations in the urban manufacturing enterprises. It determines the direct and indirect influence of business regulations and constraints on innovation outcomes through the mediation effect of informal sector competition by using the SEM "Structural Equation Modeling" guidelines. The econometric results show that informal sector competition has a negative effect on the introduction of product innovations while industry-level informal sector competition has a positive effect on product innovation through the local knowledge spillovers from the informal to the formal sector. However, the informal sector competition was found to have no significant effect on the probability of introducing process innovations. Further, the results show the inhibitive role of informal sector competition on innovation in urban formal manufacturing enterprises is more severe for firms with heavy regulatory burdens and is relatively weakened in firms with resource constraints. This suggests that the informal sector plays an important role in the NIS (National Innovation System) in India.

  • 본 논문은 한국의 환경기업 중 R&D를 수행하고 있는 기업들의 자원투입이 경영성과에 미치는 직접적인 영향을 살펴보고, 이어 제품·공정·조직·마케팅 등에서의 혁신이 자원투입과 경영성과의 관계를 매개하고 있는지 간접적인 경로와 영향을 분석하였다. 이를 위해 한국 환경기업을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였으며, R&D 조직을 보유한 137개 기업의 응답 자료를 대상으로 SPSS와 Process Macro를 이용하여 매개분석을 실시하였다. 분석의 결과, 첫째, 한국 R&D수행 환경기업의 자원투입은 경영성과에 직접적으로 긍정적인 영향을 미치고 있다. 둘째, 자원투입은 혁신을 매개로 하는 간접적인 경로로 경영성과에 긍정적인 영향을 미치고 있다. 셋째, 혁신 유형 중에서는 유일하게 조직혁신의 매개역할이 검증된 반면, 제품혁신, 공정혁신, 마케팅혁신의 매개효과는 나타나지 않았다. 이에 따른 정책적 시사점으로는 첫째, 한국 R&D수행 환경기업들에서 혁신이 자원투입과 경영성과를 연결하는 중요한 매개체로 분석됨에 따라, 기업이 혁신을 통해 경영성과를 제고할 수 있도록 관련 정책을 강화할 필요가 있다. 둘째, 특히 기업들이 조직혁신을 매개로 경영성과를 높이고 있는 점을 반영하면서, 제품·공정·마케팅 등에 걸친 혁신이 경영성과로 이어질 수 있도록 지원정책을 세심하게 시행할 필요가 있다. 본 연구는 기업의 실질 통계 확보가 어려워 설문을 통해 분석한 점에서 한계가 있으며, 향후 환경산업혁신체제에 대한 추가적인 연구가 필요하다.
