This paper describes a comprehensive approach to examine how technological innovation contributes to the renewal of a firm's competences through its dynamic and reciprocal relationship with R&D and product commercialization. Three theories of technology and innovation (the R&D and technological knowledge concept, product-process concept, technological interdependence concept) are used to relate technology and innovation to strategic management. Based on these theories, this paper attempts to identify the dynamic relationship between product innovation and process innovation using system dynamics by investigating that aspect of the dynamic changes in the closed feedback circulation structure in which R&D investments drive the accumulation of technological knowledge. Further, such knowledge accumulation actualizes product innovation and process innovation, subsequently resulting in an increase in productivity, customer satisfaction, profit generation, and.

The aim of this paper is to analyse the impacts of R&D cooperation and obstacles to technological innovation on the innovation failure of the Korean manufacturing firms. Two hierarchical regression models including interaction variables are employed for the analysis. Some interesting findings are: first, almost all the obstacles have positive and significant effects on the failure. Second, R&D cooperation positively or negatively moderates the impact of obstacles to technological innovation on the innovation failure, although R&D cooperation itself is not directly related to the failure. Third, the interaction effects between the cooperation and the obstacles influence the failure in various manners. This study is expected to help manufacturing firms which are under unfavourable environments to formulate their cooperation strategies successfully based on what they learn from the failure.

글로벌 경제전반에 서비스가 미치는 영향이 증가하면서, 서비스를 통해 가치를 창출하는 혁신에 대한 새로운 관점이 요구되고 있다. 최근 서비스 혁신은 서비스와 관련된 모든 창조적인 활동으로 이해되고 있으며, 기업이 아닌 고객주도하에서 서비스의 품질을 향상시키는데 중점을 두고 있다. 이는 고객의 역할이 서비스 거래만을 주도하는 수동적인 행위자에서 서비스 관련 활동에 적극적으로 참여하는 능동적인 행위자로 변화함에 따라, 지식서비스 기업이 고객과 긴밀한 관계를 가질 수 있는 다양한 상호작용 활동을 수행할 때 혁신을 이끌 수 있음을 의미한다. 이를 토대로 본 연구에서는 서비스 혁신에 관한 단순한 개념적 수준의 연구에서 벗어나, 서비스 혁신에 영향을 미치는 서비스 기업과 고객기업 간의 상호작용성과 이들 간에 공유되는 지식유형에 대해 알아보고자 하였다. 서비스 기업과 고객기업이 이루는 협업 활동을 의미하는 상호작용성은 세 가지 활동, 지식서비스 표준화, 양방향 학습 그리고 혁신 참여로, 서비스 혁신은 세 가지 서비스 제품 혁신, 프로세스 혁신, 그리고 조직혁신으로 구분하였다. 그 결과, 다양한 상호작용 활동들이 모두 세 가지 유형의 서비스 혁신에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것을 알 수 있었으며, 더 나아가 서비스 기업과 고객이 암묵지 형태의 지식을 공유할 때, 혁신을 더 높일 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 연구결과는 기존과 다른 관점에서 서비스 혁신을 이해하는데 도움을 주고, 지식서비스 기업이 혁신을 이루기 위한 실질적인 방안을 제시하였다는 점에서 의의가 있다.

In the competitive global market, firms have to keep profit from innovation activities. A firm makes profits by offering products or services at a lower cost than its competitors or by offering differentiated products at premium prices that more than compensate for the extra cost of differentiation. The IC Package and Testing technology industries were the first high technological industry to build in Taiwan. The Package and Testing industries in Taiwan adopted competitive innovation activities to become stronger. In our study, we want to know how innovation activities influence a firm operating in the IC Package and Testing industries. Our study used a questionnaire and Likert five-point scale to survey the innovation activities, customer and feedback in innovation performance in the IC Package and Testing industry. The wafer level chip size packing technology in our study indicates the innovation activities. Because we need to compare the difference between the wafer level chip size packing technology and wire bonding technology to recognize innovation and how the innovator and customer were influenced. Our conclusions are described below: (1) When the innovator adopts innovation activities that can be maintained using experiments and knowledge, using machine and decision variables more quickly will produce success; (2) Innovators should adopt innovation activities that focus on customers that use knowledge and experimentation, training time and cost. If an innovation forces customers to spend much time and cost to learn new technology or applications, the innovation will not be adopted; (3) Innovators that create innovation performance higher than his customers must also consider the impact upon their customers. We have to remind innovator to focus on why their customers have a different level of evolution in the same innovation activities.

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.
