  • Although the telecommunications service industry has become a basic infrastructure component of the information and communication technology (ICT) industry, it is now losing its reputation as a cash cow due to achieving a saturation of service subscribers, especially in South Korea. With the exception of improving network speeds, network operators are experiencing difficulties in creating new innovations. Therefore, new innovations for the telecommunications service industry should be identified in conjunction with government policies for industry promotion. To examine the innovative capabilities of a specific industry, innovation system theories were used as a framework for research. However, existing innovation systems are limited with regard to explaining the openness of relationships and user participation which are general properties of the ICT industry. Moreover, as sources of innovative activity, additional values such as financial support and collaboration are more appropriate. This study presents a new innovation system based on innovation values. We analyze the telecommunications service industry and prioritize the importance of telecommunication policies within South Korea. An in-depth interview with experts based on the innovation system framework is conducted first. Next, innovation factors derived from the interview are applied within an analytic hierarchy process (AHP), leading to a prioritization of innovation factors for the telecommunications service industry.

  • The study aims to investigate the relationship between innovation activities and business process performance in higher education institution (hereinafter referred to as "HEI") context. The data was collected using a survey and later analyzed through Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLSSEM) and SmartPLS software. A total of 50 questionnaires were submitted from respondents representing vocational study program management located in Makassar, Indonesia. The findings show that two hypotheses discussed in this study fit the empirical data. Specifically, the results show that there is a positive relationship between innovation activities and business process performance, involving two types of innovation activities, which are exploration activities and exploitation activities, within HEIs. Explorative activity is firmly related to exploitative activity, which furthermore links to business process performance within the HEIs observed. The results confirm that exploration activity can stimulate and lead the HEIs management to generate exploitation activity. For instance, capabilities to absorb knowledge from the external institution may lead this institution to generate advanced academic processes, as well as more efficient and effective managerial processes. The study also signifies ambidexterity capacity, suggesting that it may lead HEIs management to formulate proper strategies in achieving better performance and gaining competitive advantage.

  • 최근 급변하고 있는 시장변화로 기업의 경쟁우위를 지속하기 위한 기업 간 협업 활동과 그 중요성이 증가되고 있다. 특히 한정된 자원을 보유한 중소기업의 외부자원 활용과 협업 활동은 기업 내 역량강화 및 혁신성과 창출함 있어 중요한 요소로 자리 잡고 있다. 현재까지의 대다수 선행연구들에서는 중소기업의 다양한 특성과 협업의 연관성을 세부적으로 구분하여 혁신성과를 해석하기보다 기업의 크기(대기업과 중소기업)와 연구개발 활동 등의 환경적 요인으로 구분하여 협업과 성과의 영향정도를 규명하였다. 이에 본 연구에서는 국내 중소기업의 외부 협업 활동과 관련한 기업의 다양한 특성과 혁신성과 유형에 미치는 영향력 정도를 분석하고자 하였다. 이에 기업의 특성을 주 제품이 속한 산업군, 고객군, 기업 규모로 구분하였으며, 각 유형에 따른 협업 활동이 제품혁신과 공정혁신 성과에 미치는 영향력을 살펴보았다. 본 연구에서는 프로빗 모형을 사용하였으며, 분석결과 외부협업은 제품혁신에는 큰 영향을 미치지만 공정혁신에는 유의미한 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 중소기업의 주 제품군이 속한 산업과 고객에 따른 협업 활동의 경우, 전반적으로 두 유형의 혁신성과에 다양한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 기업 규모가 큰 경우, 외부와의 협업 활동이 규모가 작은 기업보다 혁신성과에 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구결과를 바탕으로 지속적인 성과창출에 필요한 기업특성에 따른 협업의 영향력을 인지함으로써 향후 소규모 기업들을 위한 혁신성과 창출을 위한 전략을 도입하려는 실무자 및 기관 관계자들에게 도움이 될 것으로 기대된다.
