  • This study is to examine the effect of the purchase intention toward smart clothing on the perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, perceived enjoyment, trust, and social influence, and the moderating effect of the customers' characteristics like the trend and information innovation. After pictures about the smart clothing for biometric measurement were provided, 256 questionnaires targeted at 20s were gathered. The results of this study are as follows. First, perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and perceived enjoyment had an positive effect on the purchase intention of smart clothing. Second, interactions between perceived enjoyment, trust, and social influence and trend innovation had an effect on the purchase intention of smart clothing. Finally, interactions between perceived ease of use, perceived enjoyment, and social influence and information innovation had an influence on the purchase intention of smart clothing. This study can provide various guidelines for researches and companies relative to smart clothing.

  • In this study, we use the data collected from Twitter, as an SNS(Social Networking Service), for service innovation. This data was collected and processed by Flume. The data set in May 2016 was 4,766 and 15,543 from company S and company X, respectively. We were able to figure out the emotional atmosphere of the two companies through the sentiment analysis(SA) and to find out about the vertical relationship through the bibliometric analysis(BA). Furthermore, we were able to grasp the horizontal relationship through the social network analysis(SNA). It was concluded that SNS was worth while to derive an innovative item.

  • The relationship between innovation policies and locational competitiveness has emerged as an important area in the analysis of economic development, reflecting both the centralisation and decentralisation of globalising economic activities. The underlying spatial and institutional components are subject to a pattern of cumulative causation in which strategic interventions of policy actors exercise a decisive role in shaping competitive advantages, while promoting interactions with local and foreign partners both from the private and public sectors. The Singaporean development experience illustrated these strategic interdependencies of innovation policies and locational competitiveness. Based on her role as a manufacturing and service hub, Singapore is viewed as an infrastructural nodal point which is interconnected to global production networks. Paralleling efforts in the domain of technological innovation, Singapore's policies for locational competitiveness aim at an adaptive harmonisation of the needs of international investors with local developmental objectives. This orientation characterises also current efforts in promoting Singapore as a knowledge agglomeration with a distinct science base, expanding R&D operations and an innovation-driven pattern of economic development. In conclusion, the locational rationale of Singapore's innovation policies provides lessons for dealing with the spatial and institutional implications of technological globalisation.

  • This paper presents a knowledge-based view of the multi-business firm. The multi-business firm has advantages in technological innovation and knowledge creation to the extent that it embodies various ideas and resources, and recombines them more effectively and efficiently than market contracts. The purpose of this paper is to identify how to organize the multidivisional form (M-form) structure to realize such advantages. We first differentiate within-division innovation and cross-division innovation, and explain why cross-division innovation, despite its higher performance potential, would be more difficult to achieve, compared to within-division innovation. Then, we offer the propositions about how to promote cross-division innovation with references to resource capability and coordination capability that is, in turn, composed of structural and control system, social capital, and human resource management system. We conclude by discussing theoretical and practical implications.

  • This study investigates the productivity of Indonesian social scientists during the COVID-19 pandemic, with a particular concentration on their contributions to COVID-19 prevention and management. By categorizing social science research according to themes such as authors' gender, authors' institution of origin, forms of collaboration, and journal quality, this study examines the patterns and factors that influence research output. Using information from the Scopus database, 1,071 journal articles were analyzed in total. The findings indicate that collaborations with foreign researchers considerably improve productivity and publication quality, with Malaysian and Australian institutions serving as the most active partners. Nevertheless, there are gender disparities, as female authors write and are cited less frequently than male authors. The study stresses the importance of increasing international collaboration among Indonesian authors and implementing affirmative action policies to support and empower female researchers. This study contributes to the existing body of knowledge by providing policymakers, funding agencies, and academic institutions with recommendations for fostering a more inclusive and influential research environment in Indonesia.

  • This study, based on social capital theory, aims to explore how social network characteristics among organization members affect the absorptive capacity which is the ability to recognize the value of new information, assimilate it, and apply it to commercial ends. This paper also empirically investigates how the absorptive capacity will have an effect on organizational innovation performances toward achieving competitive advantages in the knowledge society. According to the degree of relationship intensity, social network shows two different characteristics: strong tied network and weak tied network. As strong tied network and weak tied network have relatively different network characteristics, this study assumes that each network affects the absorptive capacity with different aspects. Furthermore, we consider the moderation effect of a social network manager's ability in the relationship between social network and absorptive capacity. We surveyed innovative project performers who are engaged in the knowledge based industries. The empirical analysis results show that both strong tied and weak tied network positively affect the absorptive capacity. Successively, the absorptive capacity also has a positive impact on innovation performances.

  • This study analyzes actor networks in regional innovation processes with a focus on actors' activities and finds the determinants of the networks, thereby aiming to provide information useful for regional innovation policy makers. To this end, the study conducted a social network analysis of the national R&D projects data and identified the activities of innovation actors. Finding out the network determinants was QAP analysis. The study suggests three main findings as follows. First, a meaningful difference exists in characteristics of innovation activity by region. Second, the network of innovation actors meaningfully differs from region to region. The centrality of the network was found to be high in universities and businesses in Seoul and Gyeonggi, and in public research institutes in Daejeon. There are regions where all the networks of innovative actors are composed of one component, while some regions are not yet established with the network. Finally, although the networks of innovation actors are influenced by the geographical proximity and the size of the R&D fund, it is notable that the previous continuous relationship forms a strong research network.

  • This study is a study on the innovation resistance that may arise in connection with the introduction and use of smart factory-related technologies by SMEs. It is to study the effect of the leading factors of innovation resistance on innovation resistance and the effect of innovation resistance on use intention by using the extended innovation resistance model. A total of 176 survey data were used for the study, and the study was conducted using SPSS 25 and Smart PLS 2.0. Relative advantage, suitability, perceived risk, social impact, and organizational characteristics have a significant effect on innovation resistance, and innovation resistance was tested to have a significant effect on the intention to use. As an implication according to the research, a plan to improve the level of introduction and use of smart factories using the expanded innovative storage model was presented by dividing positive and negative factors, and factors that should be improved and factors that should be reduced are presented. It was specifically presented.
