R&D는 산업과 제품의 특성에 따라 그 중요도가 다르며, 제품의 고부가가치를 중요시하는 첨단산업에 있어서 R&D의 중요성이 크다. 그런데 첨단산업의 기업은 전통적인 상장기업에 비해 재무변수의 기업가치 설명력이 상대적으로 낮게 나타나는데 그 원인은 재무제표에 기록되지 않은 무형자산 때문인 것으로 추정된다. 이에 본 연구의 목적은 코스닥기업을 첨단산업과 비첨단산업으로 나누어 무형자산성 지출의 가치관련성을 분석하는 것이다. 무형자산성 지출은 연구개발비, 교육훈련비, 광고선전비로 측정하였다. 분석 결과 첫째, 첨단산업에서는 연구개발비가 기업가치에 양(+)의 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났고 교육훈련비는 기업가치에 음(-)의 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 비첨단산업에 있어서는 교육훈련비가 기업가치에 양(+)의 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 첨단산업과 비첨단산업 모두 광고선전비는 유의한 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 대형회계법인의 감사품질은 첨단산업의 연구개발비의 가치관련성을 더욱 증가시키고 비첨단산업의 교육훈련비의 가치관련성을 증가시키는 역할을 하는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 연구결과는 투자자들이 전자, 통신, 제약, 정밀기계와 같은 첨단산업군의 연구개발비 투자에 대해 비첨단산업군의 연구개발비 투자와 비교해서 더 가치 있는 투자로 평가하는 것으로 해석할 수 있다. 본 연구의 연구결과는 첨단산업과 비첨단산업의 경영자의 무형자산성 투자의 의사결정에 있어서 유익한 참고가 될 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

본 연구는 기술보증기금의 기술평가자료를 활용하여 고성장기업의 결정요인에 대하여 분석하였다. 본 연구가 기존 연구와 다른 점은 3가지이다. 첫째, 현재 고성장 기업이 아닌, 향후 고성장기업으로 성장할 기업의 결정요인을 분석하였다. 둘째, 고성장기업을 매출과 고용 2가지 측면에서 각각 구분하여 분석하였다 즉, 매출증가와 고용창출에서 모두 고성장을 달성한 경우, 고용창출 측면에서는 고성장을 기록했지만 매출증가 측면에서는 저성장인 경우, 그리고 매출증가만 고성장을 달성하고 고용창출은 저성장을 기록한 경우의 세 가지 유형으로 구분하여 분석하였다. 셋째, 기술보증기금 기술평가모형(KTRS)의 기술평가지표를 설명변수로 적용하였다. 분석결과, 기술의 수명주기상 위치가 적절하고 기술의 완성도가 높을 경우에는 향후 매출과 고용이 모두 고성장하고 있다. 기술인력관리가 잘 되는 기업은 고용측면에서는 고성장을 하지만 매출측면에서는 오히려 저성장하고 있다. 이러한 결과는 고용고성장기업이 주로 기술인력관리가 중요한 하이테크산업에서 발생될지도 모른다는 추론을 가능케 한다. 이에 하이테크산업 여부를 나타내는 더미변수를 추가하여 분석한 결과, 하이테크산업에 속한 기업은 고용고성장의 가능성이 높은 것으로 나타나 이러한 추론을 뒷받침하는 결과를 보였다.

This study investigates the effect of technology import and R&D investment on the value of the firm in Korea. The result shows that the technology import announcement effect of firms with a low R&D investment is higher than that of firms with a high R&D investment. The evidence suggests that technology import can substitute the existing R&D capability of the firm. In addition, the result shows that there is an optimal level of technology import and R&D investment to maximize the value of the firm. In particular, firms with a low R&D investment and a large amount of technology import experience the highest announcement effect. The study concludes that an adequate allocation of fim's capital between R&D investment and technology import is needed for firm's optimal technology strategy.

This study determines whether or not firms can achieve high productivity growth through external technology acquisition. It also identifies the key factors affecting adopting firms' productivity growth by employing the Malmquist productivity index (MPI) methodology, which features computational ease, low data dependency, and decomposition of productivity growth into technical efficiency change and technical change. Results showed that the effects of productivity growth arising from technology transfer became stronger over time. Moreover, patent transfer guaranteed firms' productivity growth, but no evidence was found that factors such as age and size could increase productivity. Finally, cultural similarity could be another factor conditioning the effectiveness of technology transfer in the productivity of adopting firms.

This paper is aim to test how market orientation is related to the investment decision making. After controlling for firm-specific factors, this study finds a significantly positive relationship between market orientation and R&D expenditures, especially firms with high ratio of intangible assets and low ratio of abnormal inventory assets. Under conditions of low quality of earnings, the negative relation between market orientation and R&D expenditures is enhanced in electronic related industries. This indicates that the relation between market orientation and R&D expenditures may exhibit more reasonable patterns for investment decision of firms in technology driven business environment.

Entering the 1990s, Korean economies experienced the high-cost and low-efficiency situation which evetually caused many Korean firms led to relocate their production facilities to lower labor cost countries. This paper aims to draw out the characteristics of FDI and to evaluate the impacts of FDI in manufacturing sectors. Firstly, we try to categorize the indutries into three groups, labor intensive, capital intensive, and the technology intensive industries figuring out the characteristics of FDI of Korean firms. Secondly, we compare the three categories by grouping high and low foreign investment areas using value added data. Thirdly, we analyse the impacts of foreign production relocation the number of firms, production volume and jobs creation in Korea during the period 1991-1996. This paper concludes that the FDI of Korean firms concentrates to labor intensive industry and the hollowing effect caused by FDI was observed partially in the labor intensive industry.

The objective of this paper is to clarify the relationship between ICT application and labor productivity in Vietnamese manufacturing firms and connect it with the context of economic restructuring in Vietnam. The study uses data of 3,428 manufacturing firms from the General Statistics Office of Vietnam and regression models. In addition to the general model, the study also runs the models for sub-samples of firms of different production technology levels. Research results show two main points. First, information technology can enhance the labor productivity of Vietnamese manufacturing firms. This is true for both ICT hardware applications, ICT services, ICT software solutions, and employees' ICT skills in firms. Second, manufacturing firms with higher levels of production technology use ICT more effectively and achieve a higher impact on labor productivity. The results confirm that the Vietnamese government can stimulate ICT application and digital transformation in firms, thereby increasing labor productivity and promoting economic restructuring in the direction of shifting from agriculture to industry and from low-tech industries to high-tech ones. The results also provide implications for business managers and policymakers in other developing countries who are adopting the digital economy as a development strategy.

Recently, there has been a steady decrease in the proportion of the construction sector among Korean engineering firms. Thus it is essential for Korean engineering firms in the construction sector, which lack experience in overseas ventures, to identify and improve their competitiveness for successful overseas expansion. Therefore, in this study, changes in Korean engineering firms' capabilities for the last decade were analyzed to promote entry into overseas road and water resource engineering markets. Competency factors that require urgent improvement were derived based on Importance-Performance Analysis (IPA) as a tool for quantitative measurement. As a result, the factor that shows low performance compared to the importance is an overall understanding of the target country in the road and water resource areas. Knowledge of regulatory issues on design, the ability of time management software, and knowledge of the regulatory problems on construction safety are also insufficient. This study can be used as a research methodology to identify competitiveness that Korean engineering firms have to strengthen when they advance into overseas markets in roads, water resources, and other areas.

As the scarcity of natural resources has become apparent, the recycling industry has emerged as a promising one for its growth potential. Yet, the recycling industry still remains undeveloped and inefficient for various reasons. In this study, we focus on firms' recycling processes to understand the current status of recycling firms' value creation activities. With respect to the adopted recycling processes, we empirically investigate the differences in firm characteristics and firm performance. We use the data from Keco (Korea Environment Cooperation) which annually conducts a survey of recycling firms in Korea. We exclusively consider the whole group of plastic recycling industry in order to control for a possible bias in firm performance, stemming from the heterogeneity in processing and recycling of materials other than plastics. We review the descriptive statistics from the sample firms and conduct a series of hierarchical regression analyses. The results show that most of the firms in this industry adopt physical transformation processes with a low-level technology. These firms with physical transformation processes are smaller in size and produce entry level items which do not secure higher margins. The results indicate that the recycling industry largely comprises low value added firms which lack economies of scale and resources for R&D. For the stable growth of the industry, recycling firms must create sustainable values through implementation of technology-driven processes and improvement in product quality. In addition, the government should help build a reliable reverse logistic network, lower the entry barriers, and provide necessary funding for the SMEs in the recycling industry.

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.
