Korea's defense industry has been fostered as a protection industry in which the government directly controls prices, quantities, and costs for the past 40 years, and it is deepening into a low-efficiency industrial structure. By implementing the Defense Industry Building Act in 2021, the government is creating a healthy ecosystem for the defense industry and strengthening its global competitiveness. In this study, based on KPC's Productivity Management System (PMS), a diagnostic model of defense companies that has been implemented since 2013, on-site diagnosis was performed from 4 to 28 days depending on the size of the company, and data was collected based on the results. For the effect of innovation capability on productivity performance, the causal relationship was analyzed through structural equation model path analysis. As a result, it suggests that defense materials suppliers should focus on which core processes to innovate and strengthen and improve their innovation capabilities.

As competition among companies has intensified and the life cycle of products has been shortened, strong innovation is needed to meet consumers' needs. In addition, it is necessary to shorten the life cycle of the product and reduce the time required for technology development for the competitive advantage of the product. In particular, venture companies where new technologies and ideas are important require more innovative capabilities than others companies. Therefore, this study analyzed the impact of technology innovation capabilities (product development process capability, human resource capability and financial capability) on sales by technology development for small and medium venture companies and analyzed moderating effect of technology development period on the relationship between technology innovation capabilities and sales by technology development. The data of 'Small and Medium Business Technology Statistics' collected by the government every year were used for analysis. Technology-intensive ventures were extracted from this data. In addition, the moderating effect was analyzed through hierarchical regression analysis. This study shows that product planning capability, test capability, and R&D expenditure have a positive impact on sales by technology development. In this study, the product development period showed a positive moderating effect on product development capability and sales performance. On the other hand, the product development period showed a negative moderating effect on R&D expenditure and sales by technology development.

포스트 코로나 시대 전통적 정형화된 업무는 지능화된 기계와 온라인 플랫폼 등 디지털 기술에 의해 대체되고, 디지털 전환 기술과 고숙련 근로자 및 비정형 업무 간 강한 상호 보완관계를 바탕으로 고용 없는 경기회복이 전개될 가능성이 크다. 특히, 우리나라 산업 내 직무 구성을 살펴보면, 반복업무 지수가 지속적으로 상승하는 추세다. 이는 포스트 코로나 시대 디지털 전환의 가속화에 따른 노동시장에 대한 부작용 및 파급효과가 우리나라 경제체제 내 고착화될 가능성이 큼을 시사한다. 이러한 배경 하, 본 연구에서는 우리 경제사회 시스템의 구조적 변화를 일으킬 디지털 전환의 내재적 속성에 대한 심층적 이해를 바탕으로, 잠재적 위기 극복 및 문제해결을 위한 개념적 틀을 제공하고자 한다. 특히, 포스트 코로나 시대 디지털 기술발전과 학습 간 상호작용에 주목하여, 혁신체제의 구조적 전환을 통한 새로운 균형점으로의 이행을 위한 혁신정책의 역할을 재정립하고자 한다. 이와 함께, 포스트 코로나 시대 우리나라 혁신체제가 미래 환경 변화에 능동적으로 대응할 수 있는 적절한 제도적 요소들로 구성되어 있는지 살펴보고, 포스트 코로나 시대 디지털 전환이라는 기술변화 흐름에 능동적으로 대응할 수 있는 미래지향적 혁신정책 수립 방향을 제시하고자 한다.

본 연구는 환경역동성이 기업의 동적역량과 운영역량의 변화와 혁신성과에 미치는 영향을 실증하였다. 이를 위하여 기업역량을 동적역량과 운영역량의 계층적 구조로 정의하고 계량화를 위하여 각 역량의 개념과 정의를 정리하였다. 동적역량, 운영역량, 혁신성과 및 환경역동성에 대한 선행연구를 통해 5개의 연구가설을 설정하였고, 우리나라 제조기업 300개 기업의 표본을 대상으로 가설을 검증하였다. 그 결과, 동적역량은 운영역량에 정(+)의 영향을 미치며 운영역량도 혁신성과에 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 환경역동성이 높은 기업군은 운영역량이 급진적 혁신에 정(+)의 영향을 주며, 반대로 환경역동성이 낮은 기업군은 운영역량이 점진적 혁신에 정(+)의 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 환경역동성은 동적역량이 운영역량에 미치는 영향에 조절효과가 유의하지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 동적역량과 운영역량을 프로세스로 구체화하여 기업의 동적역량 특성을 실증적으로 분석할 수 있는 기반을 마련하고, 환경변화가 기업역량과 혁신성과에 미치는 영향을 실증 한 것에 의의가 있다. 또한 급변하는 환경 속에서 기업이 경쟁우위를 지속하기 위해서 어떻게 역량을 변화해야 하는지에 대한 시사점을 제시한 것에도 의의가 있다.

The benefits of being customer-oriented for building firm innovativeness remain ambiguous among academics, with some scholars claiming a customer-orientation fosters organizational innovation competencies, whereas some others argue that it merely inhibits innovation processes. A review of research on the effect of customer orientation on innovation activities are inconclusive, with some studies supporting a positive relationship, while others reporting mixed results. With many firms investing in activities to get to know their customers and in innovation activities, managers need an understanding of the role of customer-oriented behaviors on firm innovation practices.

This paper examines the determinates of subsidiary product innovation in the Chinese market based on a sample 680 EU subsidiaries over the period of 1998-2009. To date, the literature on EU subsidiaries has failed to consider product innovation in the marketing strategy interplay in approaching new markets overseas. Building on Resource Based view linked with Chinese institutional factors, it empirically examines the inferential product innovation strategy in an EU-China context. By applying the econometric analyses techniques to investigate innovation determinants and to test the presence of agglomeration effect of past innovation activities. The results show EU MNC subsidiaries’ innovation is influenced by both host country institutions and firm capabilities, rendering support to the theory. The analysis indicates EU subsidiaries’ innovation is positively related to firm advertisement, labour training and host market size. R&D expenditure has a negative bearing on innovation. However, openness has a negative and significant effect on product innovation in China. The findings have important implications for theory, practitioners and policy-making. This study contributes to the literature on the evolution of MNCs by exploring determinants of developed foreign subsidiaries’ innovation activities in emerging markets.

본 연구는 각각의 혁신역량 요소가 기업의 혁신방법 선택에 미치는 영향을 EU 국가와 비교함으로써 국내 제조기업의 기술수준을 파악하고, 최신 자료를 통해 그 변화를 살 펴 혁신역량 제고를 위한 정책적 시사점을 도출하고자 한다. 이를 위해 유사한 데이터와 모 형으로 분석하였으며 그 결과, 2005년 한국은 대략 EU의 부진국가와 중간국가 사이에 위치 하며, 2014년에는 혁신비용지출에 따른 연구개발비 비중의 증가, 내부혁신활동 수행, 고기술 업종의 연구개발 선택 등 혁신역량이 일부 개선된 모습을 보였다. 따라서 혁신역량제고를 위 해서는 기업의 혁신비용지출에 대한 지원과 고기술기업, 특허출원 및 산학연 협력을 실시하 는 기업을 위한 제도적 보완이 필요할 것으로 보인다.

국가가 새로운 경제체제로 들어서게 되면서 겪는 어려움과 피해는 생각보다 크 다. 지금까지 경제 패러다임이 바뀌면서 국가들이 겪었던 과정을 거치며 경제의 성장과 수렴 을 일으킨 여러 가지 요인이 있었다. 특히 혁신과 제도는 그간의 경제성장에 있어서 중요한 요소임에도 횡단면 분석이나 경제적 모형측면에서만 다루어졌던 한계성이 있다. 본 연구에 서는 국가혁신역량의 다양성과 제도의 질이 국가의 경제성장에 미치는 요인을 살펴보려고 한다. 또한 최근 경제성장의 주요요인으로 다루어지고 있는 인적자본역량과 해외직접투자와 의 관계도 살펴보며, 경제성장 모형에 대한 심층적 고찰을 한다. 경제수준에 따라서 총 4개의 국가그룹으로 64개 국가를 대상으로 분석하였으며, 1995년부터 2011년까지의 데이터를 기반 으로 패널모형을 사용해 연구문제에 대해 구조적인 측면의 시사점을 살펴보았다. 연구결과, 국가의 경제수준에 따라서 연구개발 비중과 혁신역량의 다양성은 경제성장에 의미있는 변화 를 주었으며, 해외직접투자는 모든 소득그룹에서 경제성장에 긍정적인 효과를 보였다. 국가 혁신역량에 있어서는 확산성과 개방성이 경제성장에 가장 의미있는 변수였으며, 이는 경제수준이 높은 국가들의 혁신역량이 경제성장에 미치는 영향이 크기 때문이라고 보인다. 반대로, 경제수준이 낮을수록 혁신역량 및 제도의 수준이 경제성장에 부정적인 영향을 미친다. 개별 국가의 제도의 질 및 경제수준에 따라서 차별적이기에 모호한 측면이 있다고 판단된다. 본 연구를 통해서 국가의 경제수준에 따른 혁신 요소 및 제도적 요인의 적절한 투입과 정책수립 에 중요하다는 시사점을 줄 수 있다고 보인다.

In this paper, due to the instability of the domestic market, global competition is intensifying in the current situation of global capacity building of SMEs for the purpose of developing a diagnostic indicator placed on the purpose. In this model, the results of applying several companies overall global innovation pilot enterprises and non-rated global innovative companies awarded significant difference between the score and the ability to believe the show. Non-global innovation companies, the relative firm size factor and R&D investment and patent number of factors are lacking appeared shone This is a common small business nature of the majority of companies small and R&D investment, the absolute amount is insufficient to reflect that, but the global innovator in the case of firm size and the relatively large amount of investment that never shows.

This paper analyses the importance of innovation for 680 EU multinationals subsidiaries involved in international marketing in China, the period of 1998-2009, using unbalanced panel data analysis. To date, the literature on EU subsidiaries has failed to consider product innovation in the strategy interplay in approaching new markets overseas. Building on the resource-based view of the firm, linked with host economic and political institutions, the authors empirically examine the inferential marketing strategy in an EU-China context, by applying econometric techniques to investigate innovation capabilities and to test the presence of agglomeration effect of past innovation activities. We find that EU innovation in China is influenced by both host country institutions and firm capabilities, rendering support to the theory. Our analysis indicates EU subsidiaries’ innovation is positively related to firm advertisement, labour training and host market size. R&D expenditure has a negative bearing on innovation. However, openness has a negative and significant effect on product innovation in China. The study findings have important implications for research on international marketing, new venture decision making, and overseas innovation expansion strategies.

Research underlined that Small and Medium Enterprises’ performance is enhanced by different types of innovation capabilities. This research tends to present a comprehensive model to explain the relationship between innovation capabilities and SMEs’ financial and operational performance. Specifically, this study tends to achieve three objectives: explores the set of product, process, organizational and marketing innovation capabilities possessed by owners/managers of SMEs and their impact on Chinese manufacturing SMEs’ operational and financial performance dimensions, identify the determinants of innovation capabilities, and determine the contextual factors that moderate innovation capabilities and SMEs’ performance. This research employed a qualitative research method using in-depth interviews with eight owners/managers of Chinese manufacturing SMEs. Research findings revealed that product and marketing innovation capabilities have a significant impact on SMEs’ financial performance while process and organizational innovation capabilities positively influence SMEs’ operational performance. The major determinants of innovation capabilities involved availability of sufficient organizational resources, entrepreneurial orientation, knowledge development and external networks. The contextual moderating factors on the relationship between innovation capabilities and SMEs’ performance involved internal factors which are: SME size, SMEs’ owner/manager work experience, entrepreneurial mindset; and external factors: market dynamism and cooperation strategies. This paper ends by drawing some concluding remarks and proposing future research avenues.

The paper proposes a conceptual model which provides direction for researchers to empirically establish the connections between dynamic capabilities, innovation capabilities, entrepreneurial capabilities and financial and strategic performance. The author uses systematic literature review process to select the articles used in this study. First, the present paper review and discuss some major contributions to the theories of dynamic capabilities, innovation capabilities, entrepreneurial capabilities and their consequences. The author seeks to highlight different understandings of the concepts to clarify the distinctions between them. Second, the conceptual model and propositions for future studies were developed. The proposed model highlights the different measures of dynamic capabilities, innovation capabilities, entrepreneurial capabilities and their consequences. The model with its associated propositions was developed base on limitations and gaps observed from past studies. It is focused on empirically testing the direct impact of dynamic capabilities, innovation capabilities, and entrepreneurial capabilities on the performance of SMEs in Vietnam. Nevertheless, the proposed model can be applied to similar situations in different contexts and countries. Further empirical testing of proposed model would contribute to enriching existing knowledge of dynamic capabilities, innovation capabilities and entrepreneurial capabilities within SMEs and how these capabilities foster superior performance.
