본 연구는 혁신적 기업에서 감성에 대한 인식 및 활용에 대해 기업의 연차보고서의 내용분석을 통해 밝히고자 하였다. 연차보고서는 현재 기업이 제공하는 상품(제품 및 서비스)에 대한 설명과 기업의 성과 및 방향에 대해 기술하였기 때문에 기업의 감성에 대한 관심 및 활용을 파악하기 위한 내용분석에 적합한 데이터이다. 감성에 대해서는 그 용어가 국내외에서 혼재되어 사용되고 있어, 연관 단어인 '감각', '감성', '정서'와 해당 영단어인 'sensibility'와 'sense', 'emotion', 'feeling', 'affection'의 사전적 정의를 분석하여 서로의 관계를 분석하였고, 본 용어들을 모두 내용분석에 포함하였다. 혁신적 기업을 선정을 위해 경제 학술지 Fast company에서 발표하는 2009년과 2014년의 'The world's 50 most innovative companies'의 리스트에 포함된 기업으로 추출하였다. 그 기업의 연차보고서를 바탕으로 상호 비교하여 2009년과 2014년 사이의 감성의 인식 및 활용에 대한 기업의 변화를 추적하였다. 내용분석의 정량적인 결과에서는 혁신성과 감성의 관련성이 강하지 않다고 판단되나, 정성적인 결과에는 5년 사이에 '감각(sense)'과 '감정(feeling)'에 대한 관심이 증대되고 있음을 확인하였다. 결론적으로, 기업에서 전략적으로 추구하는 혁신성의 방향이 기술 선도 및 차별화에서 사용자 경험 만족으로 옮겨지고 있으며, 사용자의 감각 및 감정을 측정, 평가, 표현하고자 하는 기업의 수가 증대되고 있음을 밝혔다.

The globalizing economic processes based on knowledge-based economic systems have changed the environment of competition between corporations fundamentally. As a result, all corporations must carry out their own activities for innovation in order to strengthen their competitiveness continuously. However, it may be difficult for the companies to meet the demand of rapidly changing markets as well as technological changes by themselves. Therefore, most of companies intensify their interdependent collaboration with other corporations for carrying out innovative activities. This is a process of building innovation networks. Innovation networks can provide opportunities to learn latest technologies and at the same time reduce uncertainties for the future. In fact, innovation networks enable not only to provide information about technology, market etc. but also to create learning processes between innovative actors. Thus, innovation networks are the most significant factor to stimulate innovative activities as well as to generate the growth of companies. This paper argues about impacts of innovation networks on the result of innovative activities. Furthermore, this focuses on the analysis of characters of corporations as well as patterns between innovation networks and innovation results.

For the implementation of innovative products or services companies use different innovation strategies, in particular, outsourcing is quite widespread, given the high level of specialization and professionalism of companies that provide such services. The aim of this article was to evaluate the link between outsourcing of innovative activities and indicators of companies' efficiency. The methodology of the research includes the methods of correlation analysis and regression analysis to reveal the correlation between the use of outsourcing of innovative products and services and the turnover of the EU enterprises. The results show a high level of innovative activity of EU enterprises (50.3% innovatively active). Innovative business processes are the most widespread form of innovation activity (41% of enterprises implement business processes, and the indicator is higher than 41% in the most developed EU countries). The turnover of enterprises with new or substantially improved products was found to grow by 10.92% for the period 2016-2018. The correlation analysis shows weak direct links between the indicator of turnover growth and the number of enterprises that have independently implemented innovations, or have implemented innovations jointly with third-party companies, or using outsourcing services. The highest level of direct connection was found between the growth of turnover of enterprises that launched a new product for the market and the growth of the number of enterprises that implemented innovations with the involvement of organizations (correlation 0.273). Based on the regression analysis it was found that with a 1% change in the growth rate of the number of innovation-active enterprises, the growth rate of turnover from new or improved products increased by 5.67%. At the same time, with a 1% change in the growth rate of the number of enterprises that implement innovation through outsourcing, the growth rate of turnover from new or improved products will increase by 7.15%.

Purpose - The purpose of this study was verifying the policy effects by field of innovative growth engines, focusing on the discussion of the relationship between government support and corporate R&D activities (substitute/complementary goods), and based on the results, policy recommendations for promoting private R&D were carried out. Design/methodology/approach - Through literature research, academic/theoretical discussions about relationship between government support and corporate R&D activities were synthesized. Next, survey data were collected for companies engaged in the field of innovative growth engines and empirical analysis was conducted on the relationship between government support and R&D activities in 13 major sectors. Findings - First, as a result of analyzing all companies regardless of sector, government R&D subsidies had a positive (+) relationship with R&D activities of companies engaged in innovative growth engines, that is, a complementary relationship. Next, as a result of performing empirical analysis by dividing the 13 fields, it was found that 9 fields were complementary goods in which government support had a positive (+) effect on the R&D activities of companies. On the other hand, in the remaining four fields, the effect of government support on corporate R&D activities was not statistically significant. Research implications or Originality - In order to promote R&D activities of companies in the 9 fields where government support acts as a complementary product, it is necessary to establish policies centered on direct government support. On the other hand, it would be more desirable to seek indirect support rather than direct support in the 4 fields where government support did not have a statistically significant effect on corporate R&D activities.
