Previous studies stated that low carbon innovation performance could be influenced by government regulations and the green market, which is the new trend of consumer consumption in the present time, mainly focusing on external factors. Before study augured that low carbon innovation performance could be driven by internal and external factors of cooperation such as institutional pressure, stakeholder pressure, and innovation resources. However, the study of green transformational leadership and organizational environmental culture on low carbon innovation performance is rare, especially in Chinese manufacturing, as well as the effect of influencing factors of TPB model: environmental attitude, subjective norm, and perceived behavior capability on low carbon innovation performance. Previous studies mostly used the TPB model for predicting individual behavior. This study established a theoretical model combining the TPB model with green transformational leadership and organizational environmental culture of Chinese automobile manufacturing on low carbon innovation performance. This study consists of two sections of research methodology: section 1 related to questionnaire design and data collection. We established a questionnaire and distributed it online, targeting responses from the managerial level working in Chinese automobile manufacturing. Eventually, 155 valid questionnaires were used for analysis. Section 2 involved data analysis using statistical software. Reliability and data validity was examined by reliability analysis and factor analysis. Correlations and convergent validity analyses were applied, and structural equation modeling was conducted to test the proposed hypotheses. The findings indicated that green transformational leadership, organizational environmental culture, and essential factors of TPB model; environmental attitude, subjective norm and perceived behavior capability positively affect low carbon innovation performance. In addition, the indirect effect of green transformational leadership was tested and found that organizational environmental culture and TPB factors mediated the relationship between transformational leadership and low carbon innovation performance.

The present state of the IT industry show workers with core capability KSA required by the IT industry having a high frequency of leaving for other industries or having the intention of doing so. This is not beneficial for the worker's career as well as the entire IT industry. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to support the development and management of IT human resources by selecting self-efficacy along with core capability KSA as the variables for researching career commitment and career change intentions. The results are as follows. It was found that the technical KSA and behavioral KSA of IT workforce influences self-efficacy. Self-efficacy has a significant effect on career commitment. It was found that managerial KSA has no effect on self-efficacy and career commitment.

As an exploratory attempt, this study examines the patterns of global R&D activities of industrial firms, focusing on the management of overseas R&D centers in terms of their location, primary missions, management style, organizational structure and communication and global human resource management system Based on a review of existing studies mainly undertaken in advanced countries and cases of foreign MNCs, several hypothetical relationships are postulated : 1) There appears a strong relationship between the purpose and location of R&D activities : 2) Different levels of global management and technological capability lead to different types of overseas R&D organizations : 3) The relationship between autonomy of overseas R&D organizations and their R&D performance will be moderated by organization size, development time pressure, and a need for internal efficiency : 4) Frequent communication between the headquarter and overseas R&D organizations will increase R&D performance 5) Mutual exchange of R&D professionals between the headquarter and overseas R&D organizations will be positively related with R&B performance. In addiction, this study explores the current state of global R&D activities of selective firms in Korea, based on ie-depth interviews, and analyzes the sources of problems in their global R&D management. Finally, theoretical and managerial implications of this study are discussed and future research directions are proposed.

Research about business failure was focused on finding the reason of bankruptcy. This research tries to analyze reason and pattern of entrepreneurial failure. Based on 20 entrepreneurial failure cases, we figure out the reason of entrepreneurial failure, utilizing liability of newness and ERIS model. We find that start-up firms in Korea have liability of newness, such as lack of managerial capability, failure of R&D/commercialization, and difficulty of securing marketing channel. Also, we typologize 4 kind of entrepreneurial failure - Lack of preparation of business, failure of resource mobilization, absence of strategy, and failure of marketing.

The purpose of this paper is to study the links between manufacturing strategy and change programs of manufacturing firms in Korea. The nature of our analysis is more descriptive than normative or confirmative. First, we investigate the linkage between manufacturing strategy, manufacturing capability, change programs and performance measurement systems. Secondly, we intend to explore an empirical typology of manufacturing strategy and change programs. The initial findings of the study are as follows: Linkage between manufacturing strategy and change programs of manufacturing firms was not apparent. Flexibility as a strategic priority is positively related to the innovative change programs. There are two distinctive strategies of manufacturing firms in Korea, namely, quality strategy and balanced strategy. We identified three types of change programs, which are incremental change, administrative innovation, and process innovation. Incremental change group has represented low factor score in the change program dimensions. The firms in administrative innovation group mainly depend on information systems and business reengineering. Korean manufacturing firms seem to pursue process improvement by trying simultaneously incremental change in the process, managerial process improvement, and a little bit of innovative change. Performance variable utilization of the firms are not significantly different along with manufacturing strategies and change programs. We found, however, learning and improvement performance dimension is significantly related to flexibility variables. Process innovation group marked high score in usage of learning and improvement indices. The findings of this study seem to have various implications on realigning the manufacturing strategy, change programs, and performance systems in Korean firms.

External knowledge search is critical to expand the firm's knowledge base, increasing the innovation performance. However, prior literature has paid less scholarly attention on the boundary condition of the search activity. In particular, the few literatures on the contingency factors are either conceptual or focus on the firm characteristics such as resources and capability. In this regard, this study argues the negative moderating effect of knowledge protection and environmental uncertainty of a firm on the positive relationship between external knowledge search and innovation performance, because these contingency factors hamper the reciprocity and the mutual trust between the firm and its external partner that provides knowledge needed in the innovation process. The empirical analysis is based on the sample drawn from Korean Innovation Survey, provided by STEPI in Korea. The sample consists of 1,637 respondent firms that experienced product innovation during the survey period. We could find statistically supporting results for the negative moderating effect on the positive relationship between external knowledge search and innovation performance. This study extends the academic debate on the boundary conditions of external knowledge search and provides managerial implications for successful product innovation.

In this paper, an integration of stochastic dynamic programming (SDP), integer goal programming (IGP) and analytic hierarchy process (AHP) is proposed to handle multiobjective-multicriteria sequential decision making problems under uncertainty inherent in R & D investment planning. SDP has its capability to handle problems which are sequential and stochastic. In the SDP model, the probabilities of the funding levels in any time period are generated using a subjective model which employs functional relationships among interrelated parameters, scenarios of future budget availability and subjective inputs elicited from a group of decision makers. The SDP model primarily yields an optimal investment planning policy considering the possibility that actual funding received may be less than anticipated one and thus the projects being selected under the anticipated budget would be interrupted. IGP is used to handle the multiobjective issues such as tradoff between economic benefit and technology accumulation level. Other managerial concerns related to the determination of the optimal project portifolio within each stage of the SDP model. including project selection, project scheduling and annual budget allocation are also determined by the IGP. AHP is proposed for generating scenario-based transformation probabilities under budgetary uncertainty and for quantifying the environmental risk to be considered.

Frequently. lots of organizations have experienced the value discrepancy between the expected value and the realized value from IS (information systems) investments. Being positive or negative the difference is. however, the existence of discrepancy itself is an evidence of less-than-sound management and measurement of IS projects. Analyzing the factors that cause such discrepancy has become an issue of scrutiny both in academia and in practice. We model which factors. as predictors, will affect the value discrepancy, as dependent variables. in IS investment. This research will establish and examine the research model. the validity of category classification of value discrepancy factors and the perceptual level of IS value discrepancy by survey research. As a result of the survey research. the strategic alignment. the proper system design for staffs. the project planning capability. and interdepartmental task cooperation are perceived as the factors that significantly affect the value discrepancy. And known as IS success factors such as the managerial support, the change management, the standardized process. and the competitive investment are not significant factors. The research findings will provide and emphasize useful implications which factors should be deliberately investigated in IS investment both for practices considering IS deployment and for academia.
