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.

This paper proposes relational capability as a main driver of constructing inter-organizational collaboration networks. Based on social network theory and relational view literature, three components of relational capability are constructed and implemented by an agent-based model. The components include organizational capability, structural capability, and trust between a partner and a focal firm. These three components are updated by two micro mechanisms: structural mechanism and relational mechanism. Structural mechanism is a feedback loop in which the relational capability increases structural capability and vice versa. Relational mechanism is a learning-by-doing process in which a focal firm experiences success or failure of collaboration and the experience increases or decreases cumulative trust in a partner firm. Result of agent-based simulation shows that a collaboration network emerges through interactions of firm's relational capabilities and the characteristics of emerged networks vary with the contribution of structural capability and trust to relational capability. Specifically, in case structural capability contributes more to relational capability, the average degree centrality and collaboration proportion increases as time passes and enters into an equilibrium state. In that case, almost every firms participated in the network collaborates each other so that the emerged network becomes highly cohesive. In case trust contributes more to relational capability, the results are reversed. In an equilibrium state, the balance of contribution between structural capability and trust makes an emerged network larger and maximizes average degree centrality of the network.

Knowledge transfer among employees integrates individual knowledge scattered within a firm, thus increases organizational effectiveness. In particular, the role of knowledge broker, which enables knowledge sharing across multiple teams or subunits, is critical for the success of knowledge management. This study classified the types of knowledge broker that facilitates knowledge flows among team, and examined the influences of various intra- and inter-team social networks. Survey responses from 128 employees of four R&D teams were gathered and analyzed using partial least square structural equation modeling. The results of analysis showed that all types of inter-team networks(i.e., emotional closeness network, frequency of interaction network, and perceived expertise network) had significant influences on related knowledge brokerage behaviors. In case of intra-team networks, only the emotional closeness network showed significant influence. These results proved the necessity of managing various types of intra- and inter-team networks to encourage knowledge brokerage behaviors within a firm.

In a rapidly changing business environment, the improvement of managerial techniques through IT utilization brings about remarkable increases in profitability and redesign of work process for better performances. IT innovation by electronic instruments such as ICT e-business provides accelerates forming inter-organizational information network and helps them benchmark the best practices of advanced organizations. A new shift of paradigm by e-business across all enterprises has turned the traditional aspects of inter-organizational competition and relationship into a form of collaboration. Collaboration enables business activities in parallel position among companies and facilitates cooperation between partner enterprises. Lately, the concept of 'Synchronization' is emerging beyond dimension of cooperation between networks, and the most concepts related to it are converging into 'Collaboration Networks'. This research observes a virtual organization as a form of collaborative networks, and measures the degree of virtualization of Korean collaborative organizations.

20世纪60年代中期, 随着1967年 ${\ll}$产业购买和创造营销${\gg}$的出版, 组织购买行为这一领域的兴起为企业如何在市场中运作提供了新的思维方式, 而不只是为最终用户服务. 无论是 "工业营销" 或 "企业营销"(B-to-B),组织的购买行为仍然是这个领域的核心. 本文探讨了动态因素的影响,影响了几个组织彼此相关的迅速增长的相互依存,反过来会影响组织的购买行为. 文章还提出了一个问题,组织购买行为的概念模型,在一个相互依存的世界是否仍然会在这个充满活力的经营环境中引导研究和管理的思想,. 本文提出并探索三个关于组织相互依存的问题: 1.哪些因素和趋势驱动了组织的相互依存的兴起? 2.在过去半个世纪中发展起来的组织购买行为的主要概念模型仍然适用于今天这个相互依存的组织的世界吗? 3.研究中组织的相互依存的启示是什么? 组织购买行为的实践活动是什么? 考虑到组织关系中驱动组织的相互依存的因素和趋势和5个关键驱动因素有关并影响他们的购买行为:加速全球化, 平整的网络组织, 破坏价值链, 强化政府的介入, 不断细分客户需求. 这五个相通的相互依存和潜在的技术上的优势可以改变组织购买产品和服务的市场中保持竞争力的关系. 在一个客户驱动的营销策略背景下, 这些力量影响三个层次的战略发展: (1)进化的客户需求, (2)产生的产品/服务和解决方案以满足这些需求, 和(3)的组织能力和工艺制定和实施了以满足需求. 组织中相互依存的五个驱动因素在他们影响组织如何购买时不需要独立的操作. 他们可以相互作用和更加有效的影响组织购买行为. 例如,加速了全球化的影响,出现了新的网络进一步破坏传统价值链之间的关系, 从而改变机构购买的产品和服务. 提高政府参与可能会增加成本,因此在其它国家的新兴市场开公司做生意寻求低成本的来源. 这可以减少一国的就业机会增加另一个国家的就业机会, 在另一方面, 从而进一步加速全球化. 第二个主要的问题是相互依存的五个驱动因素对组织购买行为的核心概念模型有什么影响. 考虑三个在 ${\ll}$产业购买和创造营销${\gg}$ 和 ${\ll}$组织购买行为${\gg}$ 书籍中发展的概念模型:组织购买过程, 购买中心,以及购买的情况. 回顾这些核心模型, 作为最初的概念,他们仍然是有效的, 而且不可能改变. 在买家和卖家相互依赖的情况下, 什么会改变买卖双方相互作用的方式. 例如,增加了相互依赖的机会可能导致增加协作以及组织之间的冲突的买卖,从而改变购买过程. 此外,组织中的沟通过程的重要性作为一个成功的购买关系的判断依据将增加. 第三个问题对这些组织购买行为的关系的影响和意义进行了探讨. 以下是本文所考虑到的: 为了增进对网络对组织购买行为的影响的理解,需要增加了解所扮演的角色之间的信任, 增强在网络环境中如何管理组织购买的理解的需要, 需要增加了解在价值网络中的客户需要,并且需要增加了解新兴的商业模式对组织购买行为的影响. 在许多方面,这些从增加的组织的相互依存派生出来的需要是组织购买行为传统概念的扩展. 在1977年,Nicosia 和Wind建议把焦点集中在组织间而不是组织内部观点,自1990年以来, 这个趋势的势头很强. 对于管理者来说,也想在越来越相互依存的世界中生存,他们将需要更好地了解组织如何与另一组织相关的复杂性. 从组织的相互依存的观点已经开始,必须不断地发展提出一种对这些重要的关系改进的理解. 互相依赖的网络观点的转变需要很多学术界人士和实践者从根本上挑战和改变他们商业中的心智模型和组织购买行为模型. 不再只关注购买组织和销售组织之间的关系而应该是网络中所有的相关成员, 包括消费者, 发展者, 供应商和中间者. 我们来看这个例子. 由SAP创造的有众多合作伙伴的网络包含了超过9000个公司和超过一百万的参与者. 互相依赖的进展, 复杂性和不确定的现实和多变的网络需要重新考虑如何做出购买决定. 结果是他们应该关注学术中下一阶段的研究和理论建设并关注有实践者构建的实践模型和实验. 我们希望这样的研究能够展开, 不是孤立在象牙塔里, 也不是限制在商业世界中, 而是学术和实践的结合. 总而言之, 组织之间相互依赖的提高的考虑揭示了组织购买行为的基础模型的持续关联性. 然而在相互依存的世界中来提高这些模型的价值, 学术界和实践者应该提高他们对一下内容的理解 (1)网络的影响; (2)如何更好地管理这些影响的作用; (3)组织之间信任和价值的作用, (4)价值网络中客户需求的演变; (5)组织购买行为的新兴的新商业模型的影响. 为了实现这一目标, 我们需要产业界和学习界更好的合作从而提高我们对在相互依赖的世界中的组织购买行为的理解.

본 연구에서는 공급사슬 네트워크에서 네트워크 기반 기업 간 기술의 적용과 그 확산에 영향을 주는 요인을 도출하고 요인들 간의 관계를 밝히고자 한다. 공급사슬관리의 효율성과 전체 최적화의 달성을 위해 도입된 기업 간 기술은 공급사슬 내 기업들의 적극적인 기술 도입과 공급사슬 네트워크상 빠른 확산이 필요하다. 하지만, 각 기업들마다 내 외부적인 요인들에 의해 도입시점이 각기 다르며 이로 인해 그 기술의 확산속도가 결정되어 진다. 특히, 공급사슬 상에 다수의 공급업체들이 존재하는 경우, 새로운 기술의 도입을 고려중인 잠재적 대상은 기업 내부적 요인뿐만 아니라 다른 기업들과의 관계요인에 의해 결정되어지는데, 관계 요인에 의한 영향은 그 기업과의 물리적 또는 사회적 접근성에 의해 결정된다. 본 연구는 미국 유통산업 내 소비재제품제조업체(CPG)들에게 도입된 기업 간 네트워크 기술 중의 하나인 재고추적기술의 도입과 확산에 대한 실증적 분석을 통해, 잠재적 사용자의 기술 도입 결정이 초기에는 몇몇 기업들의 내부적 요인의 영향에 의해 확산이 되다가 점차적으로 사회적 접근성과 같은 관계요인에 의해 영향을 받으며 공급사슬 전체적으로 기술 확산이 일어나는 것을 확인하였다.

Informal networks between individuals are widely seen as important in East Asian business systems. However, while the performance implications of guanxi in China have been extensively studied, much less is known on how informal networks may influence business outcomes in other East Asian countries. We examine informal networks in inter-organizational research collaborations in South Korea by studying the role of pre-existing social ties and relational orientation in new product development (NPD) collaborations and university-industry research (UIR) collaborations. We conduct an interview-based, in-depth case analysis of five NPD collaborations and five UIR collaborations. Pre-existing social ties and relational orientation are prevalent in both types of research collaborations. However, they have different consequences for collaboration outcomes. Pre-existing social ties strongly vary in their types and strength, and negatively affect collaboration outcomes unless they result in the selection of competent and motivated partners. Relational orientation manifests itself in a task-related and social exchange between collaboration partners, which contributes to outcomes such as knowledge acquisition and business performance. Korean collaboration managers should rely only on pre-existing social ties that are well-aligned with task-related requirements when initiating and conducting research collaborations. However, the creation of strong relationships between collaboration team members of partnering organizations should be encouraged.

The supply chain management (SCM) systems have emerged as strong managerial tools for manufacturing firms in enhancing competitive strength. Despite of large investments in the SCM systems, many companies are not fully realizing the promised benefits from the systems. A review of literature on adoption, implementation and success factor of IOS (inter-organization systems), EDI (electronic data interchange) systems, shows that this issue has been examined from multiple theoretic perspectives. And many researchers have attempted to identify the factors which influence the success of system implementation. However, the existing studies have two drawbacks in revealing the determinants of systems implementation success. First, previous researches raise questions as to the appropriateness of research subjects selected. Most SCM systems are operating in the form of private industrial networks, where the participants of the systems consist of two distinct groups: focus companies and vendors. The focus companies are the primary actors in developing and operating the systems, while vendors are passive participants which are connected to the system in order to supply raw materials and parts to the focus companies. Under the circumstance, there are three ways in selecting the research subjects; focus companies only, vendors only, or two parties grouped together. It is hard to find researches that use the focus companies exclusively as the subjects probably due to the insufficient sample size for statistic analysis. Most researches have been conducted using the data collected from both groups. We argue that the SCM success factors cannot be correctly indentified in this case. The focus companies and the vendors are in different positions in many areas regarding the system implementation: firm size, managerial resources, bargaining power, organizational maturity, and etc. There are no obvious reasons to believe that the success factors of the two groups are identical. Grouping the two groups also raises questions on measuring the system success. The benefits from utilizing the systems may not be commonly distributed to the two groups. One group's benefits might be realized at the expenses of the other group considering the situation where vendors participating in SCM systems are under continuous pressures from the focus companies with respect to prices, quality, and delivery time. Therefore, by combining the system outcomes of both groups we cannot measure the system benefits obtained by each group correctly. Second, the measures of system success adopted in the previous researches have shortcoming in measuring the SCM success. User satisfaction, system utilization, and user attitudes toward the systems are most commonly used success measures in the existing studies. These measures have been developed as proxy variables in the studies of decision support systems (DSS) where the contribution of the systems to the organization performance is very difficult to measure. Unlike the DSS, the SCM systems have more specific goals, such as cost saving, inventory reduction, quality improvement, rapid time, and higher customer service. We maintain that more specific measures can be developed instead of proxy variables in order to measure the system benefits correctly. The purpose of this study is to find the determinants of SCM systems success in the perspective of vendor companies. In developing the research model, we have focused on selecting the success factors appropriate for the vendors through reviewing past researches and on developing more accurate success measures. The variables can be classified into following: technological, organizational, and environmental factors on the basis of TOE (Technology-Organization-Environment) framework. The model consists of three independent variables (competition intensity, top management support, and information system maturity), one mediating variable (collaboration), one moderating variable (government support), and a dependent variable (system success). The systems success measures have been developed to reflect the operational benefits of the SCM systems; improvement in planning and analysis capabilities, faster throughput, cost reduction, task integration, and improved product and customer service. The model has been validated using the survey data collected from 122 vendors participating in the SCM systems in Korea. To test for mediation, one should estimate the hierarchical regression analysis on the collaboration. And moderating effect analysis should estimate the moderated multiple regression, examines the effect of the government support. The result shows that information system maturity and top management support are the most important determinants of SCM system success. Supply chain technologies that standardize data formats and enhance information sharing may be adopted by supply chain leader organization because of the influence of focal company in the private industrial networks in order to streamline transactions and improve inter-organization communication. Specially, the need to develop and sustain an information system maturity will provide the focus and purpose to successfully overcome information system obstacles and resistance to innovation diffusion within the supply chain network organization. The support of top management will help focus efforts toward the realization of inter-organizational benefits and lend credibility to functional managers responsible for its implementation. The active involvement, vision, and direction of high level executives provide the impetus needed to sustain the implementation of SCM. The quality of collaboration relationships also is positively related to outcome variable. Collaboration variable is found to have a mediation effect between on influencing factors and implementation success. Higher levels of inter-organizational collaboration behaviors such as shared planning and flexibility in coordinating activities were found to be strongly linked to the vendors trust in the supply chain network. Government support moderates the effect of the IS maturity, competitive intensity, top management support on collaboration and implementation success of SCM. In general, the vendor companies face substantially greater risks in SCM implementation than the larger companies do because of severe constraints on financial and human resources and limited education on SCM systems. Besides resources, Vendors generally lack computer experience and do not have sufficient internal SCM expertise. For these reasons, government supports may establish requirements for firms doing business with the government or provide incentives to adopt, implementation SCM or practices. Government support provides significant improvements in implementation success of SCM when IS maturity, competitive intensity, top management support and collaboration are low. The environmental characteristic of competition intensity has no direct effect on vendor perspective of SCM system success. But, vendors facing above average competition intensity will have a greater need for changing technology. This suggests that companies trying to implement SCM systems should set up compatible supply chain networks and a high-quality collaboration relationship for implementation and performance.

전략적 제휴를 통해 형성되는 기업 간의 네트워크는 정보, 자원, 지식이 공유되고 확산되는 경로이자 새로운 자원으로서, 제휴네트워크의 구조적 특성은 기업의 성과에 영향을 미치고 있으므로 전략경영의 중요한 연구대상이 되었다. 본 연구는 건설기업간의 제휴네트워크를 대상으로 중앙성, 결속성, 등위성, 무척도성 등과 같은 구조적 특성을 분석하고, 이러한 특성이 성과에 미치는 영향을 확인한다. 연구 결과 건설기업 간의 제휴네트워크는 대부분의 기업이 상호 연결된 거대한 집단구조임과 동시에 일부의 허브 기업이 전체 제휴의 대다수를 차지하고 있음을 발견히였다. 그리고 네트워크에 포함된 기업을 5개의 역할 집단으로 분류할 수 있었으며, 상위집단의 경쟁과 협력 구도를 파악하였다. 또한 척도 없는 네트워크의 속성이 존재하여 제휴의 양극화가 진행 중임을 확인하였다. 최근 10년간의 네트워크에 대한 실증적 분석을 통해 참여한 프로젝트가 많고 네트워크에서 중심에 있는 기업의 성과가 지속적으로 높음을 검증하였다. 제휴를 통해 형성되는 네트워크에서 기업이 자리 매김(embedding)하는 미시적 행태와 네트워크의 거시적, 구조적인 속성은 참여한 기업에게 편익과 제약을 동시에 제공하고 있다. 이제 기업의 전략방향과 일치하는 네트워크전략의 수립과 포지셔닝 및 네트워크자원의 관리는 새로운 중요한 전략적 과제이다.
