This study analyzes appropriate government policy frameworks for promoting IPTV industry by studying the way of adoption and diffusion of IPTV services. Until recently, most researches on government policies for technology adoption have focused on the personal context. This research adopts two theories, i.e., innovation characteristics theory for personal context and implementation process theory for organizational context. It also hypothesizes that the innovation characteristics more influence on the behavioral intention for usage new media in the level of personal innovativeness is high. Moreover, in the level of expectancy for diffusion policy is high, the implementation of IPTV services more influences on the behavioral intention. The results by statistical analysis, it is found that the higher the level of personal innovativeness is, and the higher the level of expectancy for diffusion policy is, the more behavioral intention will be influenced by the characteristics of innovation and implementation of IPTV service. Thus it is important for government agencies to find the way to facilitate personal innovativeness as well as expectancy for diffusion policy.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the characteristics of the innovation system of a theme park, and to suggest the development strategies of a theme park through looking at Everland in Yongin, Korea. Everland had relatively the strong networks with in-house, customers, and suppliers, while it had the weak networks with competitors and universities. The innovation information network is constructed among in-house innovation actors; while, the level of interactive learning is low. So the innovation barriers exist; namely, the insufficiency of information exchange, the lack of roles of intermediate organizations, and the gap of R&D and practices. The cooperation and trust should be accumulated to overcome the barriers of innovations. Therefore, Everland should strengthen the networks with in-house innovation actors, and diffuse the cooperation and trust outwards. To maximize the synergies, Everland should construct the networks of innovation actors in a region (Regional Innovation System). To construct Regional Innovation System, first, Everland should construct the close and horizontal cooperation relationship with related firms, and intensify the innovation capacity through learning by interacting. Second, Everland should diffuse the principle of win-win through cooperation and competition.

The study investigates the factors influencing the innovation activities in the enterprises in the Binh Dinh Province, Vietnam. By employing the dataset from a survey in 200 typical enterprises in Binh Dinh and using the Exploratory Factor Analysis and regression analysis, we found that there are eight factor groups affecting the innovation activities of enterprises. They include management of innovation promotion; market research capacity; leadership inspiring innovation; culture of innovation; human resources for implementing innovation; network connection; disseminating/sharing knowledge; and impact of producing/serving technology. All these factors strongly affect the innovation activities, which plays an important role in promoting the sustainable development of the Vietnamese enterprises, with the statistical significance level at 1%. Moreover, findings also show that, among these factors, the market research capacity is the strongest determinant of the innovation activity in the enterprise. An increase of 1 point of capacity of market research will increase the innovation activities in the enterprise by 0.114 point. It is followed by the management of promoting innovation, leadership inspiring innovation, and disseminating and sharing knowledge, with 0.104, 0.103 and 0.102 score, respectively. On the other hand, network connection is the weakest factor, with the score of 0.07 point.

Although the technological innovation activities have depended on corporate, organizational and personal capabilities and activities, innovation resistance to practice was not actively considered in previous studies. This study is intended to the effects of corporate technology innovation capabilities and activities on intra-organizational innovation resistance and performance by compensating the limit of previous studies. To achieve this, a survey was empirically carried out to 293 domestic IT and BT companies. First, technological innovation competencies had a positive effect on technological innovation resistance, adopting hypothesis 1. Second, technological innovation activities had no positive effect on technological innovation resistance, rejecting hypothesis 2. Third, technological innovation resistance had a positive effect on technological innovation performance, adopting hypothesis 3. Fourth, technological innovation resistance was positively mediated in the relationship between technological innovation competencies and technological innovation performance, adopting hypothesis 4. Fifth, technological innovation resistance was not positively mediated in the relationship between technological innovation activities and technological innovation performance, rejecting hypothesis 5. Overall, the higher technological innovation competencies had a significant effect on technological innovation resistance. Consequently, technological innovation resistance can improve or reduce technological innovation competencies and performance depending on the level of resistance.

This article introduces the five functions of the national innovation system (NIS). As the national innovation system is a kind of social systems in the national level, the five generic functions of open system-production boundary spanning, maintenance, adaptation management functions-are applied to the NIS. The production function is the primary process, which produces innovative products and services of the NIS. The boundary spanning function is the function of procuring the input and disposing the innovation output or aiding in these process. Experienced R&D human resources, R&D funds, technology etc. belong to the input of the NIS. The maintenance function is responsible for the smooth operation and upkeep of the system in terms of various conditions. The adaptive function is to help the system change and adapt, scan the environment for problems, opportunities, and technological developments. It faces outward for the survival of the system from the long-term view. The management function carries out planning and controlling the overall activities for the other four functions in order to run the system. Finally it discuses implications for the diagnosis and the decision making process of S&T policy.

This study attempts to explore the difference of innovation sources between high-tech industry and mid-tech industry through patent analysis. After extracting 119 corporates, commonly surveyed in 2007 HCCP(Human Capital Corporate Panel) and 2005~2006 Korea Innovation Survey, their patents applied for the Korean Intellectual Property Office in 2007~2012 are analysed mainly through negative binomial regression model. Analytical results shows that external information source could be opposite effects to technological innovation depending on technological level and industrial characteristics. The current results are still bounded in the statistical significance, mainly due to the limited observations and information.

Many organizations have introduced information technology (IT) as an innovation to gain competitive advantages as business environments have become increasingly complex and rapidly changing. Despite the large investment of IT, there have been mixed results about whether IT creates business values. Considering that IT assimilation may play an important role in explaining IT productivity paradox, this study examines the formation of IT assimilation and its effect on the organizational performance. To do so, this study suggests a research model based on Innovation Diffusion Theory by incorporating organization system, communication channel, change acceptability, and innovation factors, and then attempts to empirically explore the role of IT assimilation for enhanced organizational performance using data collected at the organizational level. Structural equation analysis using AMOS provides significant support for part of proposed relationships. Specifically, we have found encouraging results on the role of IT assimilation by identifying its mediating effect on the organizational performance. Theoretical and practical implications of the findings are discussed accordingly.

This study examines how experience diversity of chief technology officer (CTO) drives radical innovation of the firm, and the moderation effect of group attributes of top management team. Using data of 148 firms in U.S. manufacturing industries, this study finds that a CTO's diverse functional experience increases a firm radicalness, and diverse industrial experience also increases the radicalness. This study also examined the moderating effect of top management team (TMT) characteristics such as TMT size, TMT tenure, and gender composition in TMT. The positive relationship of CTO knowledge diversity and firm radicalness is weakened as TMT size or TMT tenure increased while the relationship is strengthened as gender diversity in TMT increased. These results of the analysis of firm-level radicalness provide implications for both academics and practitioners.
