In the past three decades since the advent of market oriented reforms began in 1978, China has made rapid strides in catalyzing economic growth. The economic development coincides with the development of significant capabilities in several areas of science, technology, and innovation. China has recorded notable achievements in a number of emerging fields. This paper investigates the process that has catalyzed the developments in Science and Technology (S&T) and the key factors that have facilitated this process. The causality of dynamism of S&T in China points at targeted development, an emphasis on high growth industries and high technology, commensurate resource mobilization, ruthless restructuring of innovation actors, dynamic organization and management of R&D, continuously evolving policies with strict enforcement, and implementable instruments. This paper attempts to bring out the roadmap of the Chinese transformation process in S&T and derive policy lessons for India.

본 연구는 사회적 자본의 관점에서 혁신중개인과 기업과의 관계가 흡수역량에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 분석한다. 그리고 기업의 혁신환경요인은 이 과정에서 직 간접적으로 흡수역량에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지에 대해 연구한다. 이를 위해 국내 대표적인 혁신클러스터인 대덕연구개발특구 내 입주하고 있는 200여개 기업을 대상으로 실증분석을 수행함으로써 제시한 연구질문을 검증하고자 한다. 주요 연구결과는 기업이 활용하고 있는 혁신중개인의 관계와 혁신환경요인이 흡수역량과의 관계에서 전반적으로 유의한 정(+)의 효과가 있음을 보여준다. 세부적으로 혁신중개인의 관계 중에서 신뢰도 및 소통빈도는 흡수역량에 유의한 영향을 미치며, 반면에 지리적 근접성에 대해서는 유의하지 않은 것으로 분석되었다. 또한, 혁신중개인이 기업의 흡수역량에 미치는 영향에서 기업이 직면하고 있는 혁신환경요인은 정(+)의 조절역할을 하며, 하위차원에서는 사회적 요인이 뚜렷하고 긍정적인 영향을 미친다는 사실을 조명하고 있다. 본 연구는 기업의 기술혁신과정에서 혁신중개인의 역할과 흡수역량의 선행요인으로서의 혁신중개인의 중요성과 더불어 혁신환경요인의 중요성 대한 이해에 기여한다.

본 논문에서는 지역혁신체제 및 혁신클러스터에서 상호작용을 촉진하는 주요 주체로서의 혁신중개인과 기업의 흡수역량 및 성과 간의 연계성을 기업 차원에서 탐구한다. 대덕연구개발특구 내 기업을 대상으로 한 실증연구결과, 기업이 활용하는 혁신중개인과의 관계는 기업의 흡수역량과 혁신 및 경영성과에 긍정적인 영향을 유의하게 미치며, 흡수역량은 이 과정에서 강력한 매개역할을 하는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 혁신중개인이 기업의 혁신과정에서 내부 활동을 대신할 수 있는 대체자라기보다는 보완재의 역할이 크다는 증거를 의미한다. 본 연구는 기업의 혁신과정에서 흡수역량의 선행요인으로서 혁신중개인의 역할과 중요성에 대한 이해에 기여한다.

This paper is to propose new features and models for process innovation after classifying in three categories ; conventional six sigma, lean six sigma and 3rd generation six sigma. First considering two project types which are bottom-up and tod-down, DMAIC process is linked up with QC story 15 steps. Secondly, I present Koreanized lean six sigma model using Japanese production technology and principles. Lastly, this paper also depicts a new 3rd generation six sigma model utilizing MBNQA management quality system.

IT산업 기업 간의 치열한 경쟁 환경에서 기업 생존을 위한 기술혁신은 경쟁력 확보를 위한 필수요소가 되고 있다. 이러한 기술혁신은 기업의 생존을 위해 반드시 필요하며 다양한 요인들이 기술혁신의 성공을 거두기 위해 필수적으로 고려되어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 정부의 지원 수준이 기술혁신의 성패에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지를 로지스틱 회귀분석을 통해 살펴보았다. 결론적으로 정부지원 측면에서 IT제조업의 제품혁신 성공을 위해서는 직접적인 기술개발 및 사업화 지원을 위한 자금 지원이 필요하며, 공정혁신을 위해서는 기술인력 지원이나 교육연구 지원 등이 성공여부에 영향을 미치는 것으로 분석되었다.

This research focuses on the IS development methodology as an object of innovation in an IS organization. It has two main research objectives. It was intended to understand the critical affecting factors which have an effect on the processing of each level in the dynamic and evolving innovation process. There are two levels of innovation process: initiation and implementation. It was also intended to understand the performance of IS organizational innovation. We found three main results by the LISREL analysis. First, main factors affecting initiation level of innovation are innovative tendency of IS members, communication level of IS organization, existence of champion manager, IS performance gap, executive supporting to IS, and relative advantage of IS development methodology. At the implementation level, it was understood that the existence of champion manager, executive support, and relative advantage of IS development methodology were the main factors promoting to use the innovation, and the complexity of innovation was a negative factor adopting the usage of innovation. Second, the quality of the previous level in the gradual innovation activities gives very notable affection to the continuous next level. Finally, it was found that the qualitative performance like the documentation, collaborative team approach, IS developer's awareness and ability corresponding to their task and so on was improved due to the IS organizational innovation. This research provides the standard framework for the IS organizational innovation in a structural way. In the practical aspect, it may be used as the principle for introducing and using the IS development methodology.

Purpose This study empirically investigated the impact of information technology(IT) capability on the co-innovation with suppliers and the effects of the co-innovation with suppliers on the product and process innovations in manufacturing firms. We demonstrated that IT promotes innovations trough the sharing of knowledge with suppliers. Design/methodology/approach The empirical data were collected through post-survey. 97 valid survey data were finally collected. With a multiple-regression analysis, we confirmed the influence relationships among critical variables. Findings In the empirical results, it was found that IT integration positively and significantly influences the amount of inter-organizational information exchange with suppliers. The results showed that the inter-organizational information flow with suppliers has a positive and significant impact on the inter-organizational learning with suppliers. It was also observed that the inter-organizational learning with suppliers facilitates and promotes the co-innovation with suppliers. From these results, it is concluded that the co-innovation with suppliers is activated through the knowledge transfer or sharing caused by an inter-organizational information flow or learning. Finally, the positive effects of the co-innovation with suppliers on the product and process innovations were empirically confirmed. Thus, it is suggested that IT capability influences innovations through the co-innovation with suppliers caused by an inter-organizational information flow.

Purpose - This study investigates the effects of foreign investor ownership on firm innovation and the different stages of the firm innovation process for business group affiliation (affiliated firms) and nonaffiliated firms. Design/methodology - Research and development (R&D) intensity is used as a proxy for firm innovation. We use a sample of 7,655 firm-year observations of Korean listed firms from 2001 to 2015. To identify the distinct features of business group affiliation and how foreign investor ownership affects firm innovation, we divide the sample into affiliated and non-affiliated firms. Moreover, we classify total R&D expenditures as research and development expenditures. Findings - This study finds a positive relationship between foreign investor ownership and innovation in non-affiliated firms. However, the foreign investor ownership's role in facilitating firm innovation does not influence business group affiliation. Moreover, the results show that foreign investor ownership encourages firms to increase research expenditures, which is the amount spent in the early stages of a firm's R&D process. Originality/value - Existing studies have overlooked the distinct features of business group affiliation and the different characteristics of research and development expenditures. Thus, this study considers the distinct features of business group affiliation and investigates how foreign investor ownership affects different stages of R&D activities.

This study examines the co-evolutionary process between open innovation and firms' absorptive capacity. The effects of open innovation can be maximized through the capacity to absorb the knowledge from the external sources such as universities, government-support research institute, and private R&D centers. This study used data of STEPI technology innovation survey conducted at 2002, 2005, and 2008 (3 points measures). The data were analyzed through a structural equation model. Results suggest that open innovation at t0 point influences positively the absorptive capacity at t1 point, which subsequently enhances the intention of open innovation at t2 point. This result suggests the existence of co-evolutionary process between open innovation and firms' absorptive capacity. When knowledge comes from universities, the co-evolution has sustained; whereas when knowledge comes from private firms' R&D centers, the co-evolution has not effected. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.
