Purpose - We study whether the bullwhip effect is prevalent among Korean firms and how the characteristics of it differ from the ones in other countries. Design/methodology/approach - We obtained quarterly financial and operational information on KOSPI-listed firms in manufacturing, wholesale, and retail industries from 2013 to 2019. We explore the variation of the bullwhip effect across firms and validate hypotheses. Findings - First, we find that for the KOSPI-listed firms, the bullwhip effect is more prevalent compared with the production smoothing. We provide additional findings by using sub-samples of manufacturing firms, wholesaling and retailing firms, big-sized firms, small- and medium-sized firms, domestic-sales intensive firms, and export intensive firms. Second, we show that in general, the bullwhip effect of Korean firms increases with the days in inventory or the demand seasonality ratio. However, the persistence of demand shock does not affect the bullwhip effect of Korean firms. Research implications or Originality - We compare our results with those in other studies that use information on the U.S. and Chinese firms. Our findings show that factors explaining the bullwhip effect across Korean firms have similarities and differences compared with firms in the U.S. and Chinese firms.

이 논문은 2000년 이후 R&D분야의 정부 연구개발 직접보조금이 기업의 연구개발 투자를 진작 또는 대체 시키는지 여부 및 기업유형별 정부의 보조금 효과가 달라지는가에 대해 Difference-in-Differences (DTD) 모형을 이용하여 실증적으로 분석하였다. 그 결과 정부의 연구개발 보조수혜는 기업 연구개발 투자를 평균적으로 13.9%증가시키는 보완적 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 보조금의 액수가 1% 증가할 때 기업의 자체개발 연구비는 평균적으로 0.031% 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 기업유형별로는 대기업의 경우 보다 강력한 보완효과가 나타났으나 벤처기업이나 중소 기업의 경우는 정부보조금지원이 연구개발비 확대를 초래했다는 실증적 증거를 발견하지 못하였다.

The main objective of this study is to examine the mediating effect of 'e-trust' on the relationship between the antecedents related to e-marketplace and the intention of using e-marketplace. Data was collected from a survey of 169 exporting firms in Gwangju, Korea. The results of the study are as follows ; First, 'e-trust' is produced a mediating effect when technology and government factors affect the intention of using e-marketplace. However, "e-trust" does not play a mediating role in the relationship between company factor and the intention of using e-marketplace. Second, technology factor, government factor and company factor have a positive impacts on the intention of using e-marketplace. Accordingly, in order to enhance the intention of using e-marketplace, small & medium exporting firms in Korea should try more to prepare for factors related to technology and company. In addition to these, government should give full support to be prepared for regulations and systems related to e-marketplace. If e-trust were properly built, the enhancement of using e-marketplace would be taken place more smoothly. So most of exporting firms can participate in e-marketplace more actively.

This Study intends to find the impact of industry type on the relationship between Electronic Commerce(EC) implementation and performance. For this purpose, empirical study of domestic small and medium enterprises(SMEs) is carried out to test the relationship between EC implementation and EC performance and the moderating effect of industry type on the relationship between them. Previous empirical studies on EC mostly focused on the adoption of EC by business firms, and also have been carried out with the data from big enterprises. More often than not, the results obtained from the large business firms are used to provide the guidelines for SMEs. SMEs are, however, different from large business firms in many aspects, and need to be studied on their own. Empirical test shows that there are differences between manufacturing industry and service industry in utilizing EC and in achieving EC performance. The results of data analysis indicate that the industry type of SMEs is moderating the relationship between EC implementation variables(EC type, EC strategy, EC formality and EC character) and EC performance variables(EC utilization, EC satisfaction and EC usefulness).

Purpose: This study attempted to identify determinants affecting research collaboration and R&D distribution activities, especially regarding facility and equipment leasing of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in South Korea. The objective of this study was to find the most significant firm characteristics that affect firms participating in an R&D collaboration and distribution program and investing in R&D in terms of leasing payment for equipment. Research design, data, and methodology: This study analyzes which SMEs' characteristics influence external research cooperation activities by examining the SMEs that received government support for equipment leasing using multiple regression analysis and residual plots. The survey combined two databases: 1) a fact-finding survey of participating firms by the Ministry of SMEs and Startups, and 2) leasing information by the Korea Association of University, Research Institute and Industry. Results: The study found that firm size positively impacts R&D investment, R&D collaboration and distribution. Conclusions: The study provided evidence to policymakers and government officials that firms with more employees will more likely participate in government support programs. The study results also prove that government officials believe firm location does not impact R&D investment, R&D collaboration and distribution.

The effect of learning orientation on company innovation and innovation capability are explored based on survey data collected from 154 small and medium-sized manufacturing firms. The theoretical links between learning orientation and company innovation as well as innovation capability are investigated in four research models that compare textile and non-textile manufacturing firms. Learning orientation has a significant effect on company innovation and innovation capability in the model test. However, some of the three segmented factors (commitment to learning, shared vision, and open-mindedness) of learning orientation had no significant effect on company innovation and innovation capability. Company innovation and innovation capability of textile manufacturing firms are predicted by the commitment to learning and shared vision, whereas those of non-textile firms were determined by shared vision and open-mindedness. Differences show that firms may need to put weight on some distinctive aspects of learning orientation according to the business categories in order to enhance company innovation.

The study analyzed the effectiveness of a technology transfer and commercialization support program to Korean technology transfer offices and firms. The study created a logic model to design a questionnaire to analyze how the support program, directly and indirectly, affected the technology transfer offices and the firms' performances. The study found that technology transfer offices are focused not only on potential firms' excavation activity to process the technology transfer but also on providing strategic support to provide practical assistance to the firms' needs. Not only has the number of technology transfer cases increased during the two-year program duration, but other activities, such as technical guidance and various strategic consulting for commercialization of the transferred technology, have also appeared to have increased considerably. Support program has helped strengthen the firms' internal capabilities, expand new market capabilities, and increase the firms' indirect performances.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the impact of quality management system requirements, a management innovation technique, on business performance to secure the competitiveness of SMEs in an environment of increasing uncertainty in the global economy and intensifying competition. To this end, a survey was conducted on small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) operating a quality management system, and statistical analysis was performed through validity and reliability analysis, regression analysis, and group analysis using IBM SPSS 26.0. As a result of the study, it was found that planning, operation, support, and improvement, which are the core requirements of a quality management system, have a positive effect on business performance. In addition, through group analysis, it was found that the effect of quality management system requirements on business performance varies according to the level of the company. This means that the importance of quality management requirements required for strategy establishment varies according to the quality management introduction level of small and medium-sized manufacturers, and it can be used for small and medium-sized manufacturers to set strategic directions.

본 연구는 2013년 『벤처기업정밀실태 조사』에서 창업 후 5년~8년이 된 기업 중 결측치가 없는 406개 기업 자료를 기초로 자료포락선분석(DEA)을 이용하여 효율성과 생산성을 계산하고, 이를 통해 벤처기업에 대한 정부의 자금지원정책의 효과를 분석하고 있다. 그 결과 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 첫째, 정부의 지원을 받은 기업과 그렇지 않은 기업을 비교한 결과 정부지원을 받지 않은 기업들의 효율성이 더 높았다. 둘째, 정부지원을 받은 벤처기업의 생산성 증대가 지원을 받지 않은 기업의 생산성 증대보다 높았고, 이는 효율성 증대보다는 기술진보에 기인한 면이 크다. 셋째, 벤처기업에 대한 정부지원 중에서도 R&D 자금 지원이 생산성 증가가 컸다. 이러한 결과를 종합하여 볼 때, 정부의 벤처지원 자금지원정책은 벤처기업의 생산성 증대라는 측면에서 효과적이었다고 판단되고 나아가 효율성이 떨어지는 취약한 기업을 대상으로 자금지원이 이루어졌다는 점에서 적절하게 이루어졌다고 평가된다.

본 연구는 R&D시스템의 효율성을 체계적으로 평가하려는 목적을 가지고 있다. 구체적으로는 R&D투입(R&D투자, R&D인적자원관리), 과정(R&D계획, 외부네트워크 및 내부협력) 및 산출(기술혁신) 간의 관계를 실증적으로 규명하는 것이다. 대구경북지역 154개 IT 중소기업들을 대상으로 조사한 설문자료의 분석결과 IT중소기업의 R&D 인적자원관리는 R&D계획에 긍정적으로 유의한 영향을 미쳤다. R&D계획은 외부네트워크, 내부협력, 그리고 기술혁신에 긍정적으로 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 내부협력 역시 기술혁신에 긍정적으로 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 R&D투자가 R&D계획에 미치는 영향과 외부네트워크가 기술혁신에 미치는 영향은 유의하지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 이와 같은 연구결과는 IT 중소기업들에 있어서 R&D 인적자원이 매우 중요함을 제시하고 있다. 나아가 내부적인 협력이 타부서의 특유의 자원에 접근하게 하고, 새로운 자원을 개발하는데 소요되는 비용을 공유하게 함으로써 R&D 투입을 기술혁신에 효과적으로 연결시키는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 IT 중소기업의 경우 R&D 투자는 R&D 계획에 유의한 영향요인이 아니며, 외부네트워크도 내부협력에 비해 혁신과정에서 덜 중요함을 암시하고 있다. 그 이유는 IT 중소기업의 경우 R&D 활동이 비공식적으로 이루어지는 경우가 많으며, 혁신성공에 있어서 외부요인보다는 내부요인이 더 중요하다는 것을 상기시키는 것으로 볼 수 있다.
