  • Business analytics is a management tool for achieving significant business performance improvements. Many organizations fail to or only partially achieve their business objectives and goals from business analytics. Business analytics adoption is a multi-stage complex activity consisting of evaluation, adoption, and assimilation stages. Several research papers have been published in the field of business analytics, but the research on multi-stage BA adoption is fewer in number. This study contributes to the scant literature on the multi-stage adoption model by identifying the critical themes for evaluation, adoption, and assimilation stages of business analytics. This study uses the thematic content analysis of peer-reviewed published academic papers as a research technique to explore the key themes of business analytics adoption. This study links the critical themes with the popular theoretical foundations: Resource-Based View (RBV), Dynamic Capabilities, Diffusion of Innovations, and Technology-Organizational-Environmental (TOE) framework. The study identifies twelve major factors categorized into three key themes: organizational characteristics, innovation characteristics, and environmental characteristics. The main organizational factors are top management support, organization data environment, centralized analytics structure, perceived cost, employee skills, and data-based decision making culture. The major innovation characteristics are perceived benefits, complexity, and compatibility, and information technology assets. The environmental factors influencing BA adoption stages are competition and industry pressure. A conceptual framework for the multi-stage BA adoption model is proposed in this study. The findings of this study can assist the practicing managers in developing a stage-wise operational strategy for business analytics adoption. Future research can also attempt to validate the conceptual model proposed in this study.

  • As the service industry is advancing, the meaning of service innovation has been evolved. Recently, service innovation embraces all creative activities about service offering or relevant to service offerings and emphasizes the importance of customers in innovation process as a key driver. The innovation in services is often the result from a collaborative process between KIBS firms and client firms. Many researchers have pointed out about how the KIBS firms drive the innovation through service. In spite of the importance of service innovation, previous studies did not address the questions about what kinds of factors affect service innovation in KIBS firms still remain, or what are the effects of different knowledge on the innovation process. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of the interactivity that KIBS firms have with their customers on various types of innovations in KIBS firms. Interactivity has been touted to be the most important starting point for and the basis of service innovations. This study also examines the effect of knowledge types (tacit or explicit) on the relationship between interactivity and service innovation. To test the proposed hypotheses, we developed measurement items and distributed survey questionnaires to domestic companies. 230 survey questionnaires were distributed and 81 were returned among which 76 were usable. The results of this study show that interactivity may be a significant indicator of innovation within KIBS firms. It also represents that the effect of knowledge types on the relationship between interactivity and innovation. These results indicate that KIBS firms need to improve the various activities of interaction with customers for innovation. This study provides a blueprint to further investigation of the critical role of service in service science perspectives.

  • The Korean government designated 10 innovation cities throughout the country in 2005 in order to resolve concentration on the capital region and to promote balanced development of localities. An innovation city is a future-type city equipped with environment for innovation and high-quality settlement environment in terms of residence, education and culture by accommodating public institutions and facilitating close cooperation among companies, universities and research institutes. Thus, for the early settlement and activation of innovation cities, this study suggested a plan to operate the current innovation city business centers from a mid- and long-term viewpoint rather than for a limited time. Through this study, we attempt to establish the roles of the centers so that they can play central roles in the move of public institutions, the development of industry-university-research institute clusters, the creation of innovations, and the spread of innovations, which are the goals of the development of public institutions, after the sites have been prepared.

  • Innovations in the biofiltration process can provide effective solutions to overcome crucial water pollution problems. The elimination of pollutants is a result of the combined effects of biological oxidation, adsorption and filtration processes. This research aims to evaluate the performance of quartz sand biofiltration for removing total suspended solids, turbidity, color, organic matter, and ammonium from polluted river water and develop an empirical model for designing quartz sand biofilters for the treatment of polluted river water. Experiments were conducted using two biofilter units filled with quartz sand as filter media. A set of experiments were performed to evaluate the effect of hydraulic retention time on biofilter performance in removing water contaminants. The kinetics of organic matter removal were also determined to describe the performance of the biofilter. The results show that biofiltration can significantly remove river water pollutants. Removal efficiency depends on the applied hydraulic retention time. At a hydraulic retention time of two hours, removal efficiencies of total organics, ammonium and total suspended solids were up to 78%, 82%, and 91%, respectively. A model for designing quartz sand biofiltration has been developed from the experimental data.

  • With the emergence of serverless computing paradigm and the innovations of cloud technology, the structure of backend server infrastructure has evolved from on-premises to container-based serverless computing. However, an access control on the server still heavily relies on the traditional SSH protocol, which poses limitations in terms of security and scalability. This hampers user convenience and productivity in managing server infrastructure. A web shell is an interface that allows easy access to servers and execution of commands from any device with a web browser. While hackers often use it to exploit vulnerabilities in servers, we pay attention to the high portability of web shell technology for server management. This study proposes a novel proxy-based server management framework utilizing web shell technology. Our evaluation demonstrates that the proposed framework addresses the drawbacks of SSH without additional overhead, and efficiently operates large-scale infrastructures in diverse computing environments.

  • This study is to confirm the core factors of innovative capabilities and technological entrepreneurship affecting the performance of technology management and business management of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Through the consideration about the complex natures of technological innovation affecting by multidimensional factors, this study designs the research model that innovative capabilities, the performances of technology and business management are arranged in accordance with the innovation process; input-output-outcome. To meet this research purpose, the hypothesis are set up based on the previous research studies and the research samples are selected from members of the Innovative Business (INNO-BIZ) Association, located in Seoul and Geyonggi province. As a result of regression analysis to the responses gathered from 360 firms, the performance of business management is influenced positively by the technology superiority, market growth and business profitability which are the dominant factors of performance of technology management. In addition, three sub-variables of innovative capabilities such as R&D, strategic planning and learning capability, have positive effects on both the managerial performances. Innovativeness and progressiveness of technological entrepreneurship affect both the performances positively. Moreover, the co-relation between technological entrepreneurship of an innovation leader and innovative capabilities of organizational members are identified. Lastly, technological entrepreneurship has the mediating effect on the path of leading innovative capabilities to the managerial performances. In conclusion, the research results imply that technological innovation-type firms should periodically evaluate the performance of technology management which are the output of technological innovations and the reinvestment for ultimate business success. And improving and developing innovative capabilities and technological entrepreneurship is required to continuously and consistently investing and supporting resources on technological innovations at the firm-and government-level. It is considered that these are the crucial methods for securing the technologically competitive advantage of SMEs with less resources and narrow innovation range.
