This study explored the patterns of activities and interactions among participants in the adoption process of a new system innovation, ADSL, in Korea, using an integrative framework of innovation system and strategic decision-making process for uncertainty reduction. An in-depth case analysis was undertaken to identify the adoption process of ADSL innovation, as a case in point, in conjunction with activities and interactions among related parties such as government, service providers, equipment suppliers, and content providers. The results of case analysis revealed that as the level of uncertainty in the adoption of ADSL innovation decreases, the focus of decision-making activities moves from scoping, to searching, to evaluating and to committing. Also this study found that at the early stage of ADSL adoption with higher level of uncertainty, government plays a pivotal role in coordination of related parties to participate in the innovation process, while service providers replaced this role at later stage of innovation with lower level of uncertainty. This study discussed theoretical and policy implications for the adoption of new system innovations with varying degrees of uncertainty.

오늘날 혁신은 기존의 패러다임에 도전하며 자신의 분야뿐만 아니라 다른 여러 분야와 협력함으로써 이루어지며, 이에 따라 개방형 혁신의 중요성이 강조되고 있다. 본 연구는 개방형 혁신이 혁신 활동에 어떤 영향을 미치는지 분석하였고, 다양한 혁신 활동에서 조직혁신의 역할을 살펴보았다. 분석을 위해 과학기술정책연구원(STEPI)에서 수행한 2016년 한국기업혁신조사(KIS) 데이터를 활용하였고, 총 1,453개 제조업체를 표본으로 선정하여 로지스틱 회귀분석을 수행하였다. 분석 결과, R&D 협력은 새로운 지식이나 기술을 획득하기 위한 가장 대표적인 수단으로써 제품혁신에 긍정적인 영향을 미친 반면, R&D 협력은 공정혁신과는 큰 관련이 없는 것으로 나타났다. 조직혁신의 경우에는 R&D 협력이 제품혁신과 공정혁신에 미치는 긍정적인 영향을 모두 강화하는 것으로 나타나, 조직 변화는 새로운 혁신 활동에 긍정적인 역할을 한다고 설명할 수 있다. 즉, R&D 협력과 관련하여 기업들은 조직혁신을 고려할 필요가 있을 것이다. 본 연구는 다양한 혁신 유형의 인과관계와 역할에 대해 분석한 점에서 의의가 있으며, 향후 기업들이 혁신 활동을 원활히 수행하는데 기여할 것이다.

정부가 민간기업에 지출하는 연구개발비는 최근 들어 지속적으로 늘어왔다. 2008년에는 전체 공공 연구개발 지출액의 17%가 민간기업에 지원됐으며 서비스업에서 지출되는 연구비의 약 9%가 공공 연구개발비였으나 이들 지원금에 대한 평가 및 연구가 잘 이루어지고 있지 않다. 본 연구의 목적은 국내 서비스기업들의 양적 질적인 혁신활동 결과에 공공 연구개발 보조금이 어떠한 효과를 가지는지를 분석하는 것이다. 즉, 정부의 직접보조금이 서비스기업의 혁신활동을 촉진시키는지 구축시키는지를 Propensity Score Matching (PSM) 방법을 이용하여 실증 분석하는 것이다. 분석결과 정부의 보조금은 기업 최초 서비스혁신의 성과에만 통계적으로 유의한 양의 효과를 미치는 것으로 나타났으며 다른 결과지표에는 유의한 영향을 미치지 못하는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 정부의 서비스업에 대한 보조금 지급정책이 국가전체 혁신수준의 향상 및 양적인 증가에는 기여하지 못하나 기업자체의 경쟁력 강화를 위한 혁신활동은 촉진시킨다고 할 수 있다.

In recent years, ESG activities (Environment, Social and Governance) have been paid more and more attention by enterprises and their stakeholders in various countries. China is the largest developing country in the world. The ESG performance of Chinese listed enterprises helps to understand the shortcomings of their sustainable development ability and further enhance the firm value. Moreover, the interaction effect between green innovation investment and ESG activities is of great significance for enterprises to balance the resource allocation between the two factors in the future. Taking listed Chinese manufacturing companies from 2011 to 2020 as an example, this study investigates the influence of ESG activities on financial performance and non-financial performance, and tests the moderating role of green innovation. Our results show that: (1) ESG performance has a negative impact on financial performance; (2) ESG performance has a positive impact on non-financial performance; (3) Green innovation can positively adjust the negative impact of environmental activities on financial performance. However, it will enhance the negative impact of governance activities on financial performance. The interaction effect between green innovation and social activities on corporate financial performance is a substitution effect; (4) With the improvement of green innovation level, the positive impact of ESG overall performance and environmental performance on corporate reputation will also be suppressed.

Purpose: This study addressed the relationship between technological innovation activity and management efficiency of Korean automobile firms. We tested the hypothesis of non-liner relationship of innovation activity in relation to management efficiency. Methods: We discussed prior literature in the firm innovation strategy and management efficiency studies to provide better understanding of relationships between technological innovation activity and management efficiency. As a result, we developed develop and tested a model (Inverted-U shaped) capturing the non-linear impact of technological innovation activity. While we used R&D expenditure and patent registration data for measuring firms' innovation activity, management efficiency was evaluated by using DEA(Data Envelopment Analysis). Results: Main findings of our empirical analysis indicated that the relationships between technological innovation activity and management efficiency was inverted U shaped. This implied that the relationship between technological innovation and management efficiency is inverted U-shaped non-linear, with management efficiency increasing up to a point, beyond which higher levels of R&D and patent registration activities led to a decrease in management efficiency. Conclusion: This study empirically assessed the inconclusive findings of previous research in the area of effects of innovation activities in relation to firm performance. The paper also provided theoretical and practical implications for firms who explore efficient strategy to promote the management performance through technological innovation activities. Future research directions with the limitation of the study was discussed.

It is generally thought that the quality management and the six-sigma management innovation are not applicable to service industry, which might be derived from some differences between service and manufacturing industries. However, both are substantially alike in some intrinsic attributes. KT is leading the quality management and the six-sigma innovation activities in service industry, especially among telecommunication companies in Korea. Six sigma management innovation has been fostered in KT within short period of time and played an important role in helping KT privatized successfully. The successful cases of six sigma innovation activities in KT could be introduced to other Korean companies in service industry. Five key factors for the success of six-sigma innovation activities are suggested, The hidden factory in all the fields of company should be eliminated. Six-sigma projects need to be connected with the company strategy. The project should be carried out intensively in a short time. The innovation activities in the field need to be integrated. The best practice of six-sigma should be disseminated in the field.

Technological innovations, as the key to building competitive advantage, need a comprehensive review to address the issues related to transformation of the Indian industries. The present paper reports the broad findings of the first National Innovation Survey undertaken by the Department of Science and Technology, Government of India. The findings presented here highlight the status of innovation related activities in different industrial sectors, its weaknesses, and areas requiring institutional interventions. The survey results underline the fact that the innovation activities in Indian industries are more for survival in a competitive market conditions than to create market advantage. A sort of disconnect between the innovation support system and the production system is a discernible fact that surfaces from the study. The study also indicates certain characteristics of the innovation behaviour of firms that brings out developing country issues of innovation.

Using patent and firm-level panel data for 1982-2001, this study investigates spillover effects of patents and the strengthening of intellectual property rights on Productivity and Innovation. As well as we consider the effect of intra-industry spillovers, we extend the effect to inter-industry spillovers which implies the effects of IT industries on non-IT industries. The empirical results are summarized as follows. First, allowing for firm-level variables, market competition and technological spillovers, the strengthening of intellectual property rights does not play a significant role on innovative activities. Second, while innovative activities of domestic firms affect significantly firms' innovative activities, those of foreign firms do not. Third, innovative activities of IT industries as inter-industry spillovers play a significant role on innovative activities and labor productivities of domestic firms.
