본 연구의 목적은 현지 시장 지식과 지식의 원천인 네트워크를 유형화하고, 지식 유형과 네트워크의 적합성을 제안함에 있다. 더불어 지식 이전 연구에서 중요한 요소인 사회적 자본의 세 가지 차원(구조적, 인지적, 관계적) 을 고려하여 사회적 자본이 현지 시장 지식의 획득과 이전에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 살펴본다. 따라서 이를 위 해 첫째, SSCI 급 경영 전문 국제 학술지 7종에 게재된 지식의 유형과 관련된 논문을 탐색하고, 현지 시장 지식 의 유형을 4가지로 도출하였다. 둘째, SSCI 급 경영 전문 국제 학술지 7종에 게재된 네트워크 유형과 관련된 논 문을 탐색하고 이를 4가지 유형으로 나누어 특성을 도출하였다. 셋째, 네트워크 유형에 따라 얻을 수 있는 해외 시장 지식의 유형을 살펴 이들 간 개념적 모델을 개발하고 적합성을 밝혔다. 그리고 해당 지식의 획득과 이전에 서 사회적 자본의 세 가지 차원이 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 영향 관계에 대한 명제를 제시하였다. 해외 시장 지식 의 중요성과 유형, 지식의 원천인 네트워크에 대해 많은 연구가 이루어지지 못한 현 상황에서, 기업의 해외 시장 진출 목적에 맞는 지식 유형을 판별하고 이에 적합한 네트워크를 구축하는 것은 해외 시장 진입에서 새로운 시사 점을 제공한다. 또한, 해외 시장 지식의 획득과 이전에서 적절한 사회적 자본을 이용하는 것은 기업의 해외 시장 진출과 성과에 대해 많은 경영적 시사점을 줄 것으로 기대한다.
Eco-innovation is an important component of a firm's environmental sustainability strategy and provides both environmental benefits and competitiveness, resulting in a win-win situation. Although previous studies have examined the influence of organizational ambidexterity (exploration and exploitation) on the business performance, little is known about how organizational ambidexterity affects eco-innovation (i.e. eco-process, eco-product, and eco-organizational innovativeness). Building upon the resource-based view and dynamic capabilities perspective, I develop a model to explain how relational capital may moderate the relationship between inter-firm relational knowledge stores and organizational ambidexterity and how organizational ambidexterity enhance eco-innovation in the context of international buyer-supplier relationships. The results of a survey of 124 OEM suppliers in Taiwan show that the relational knowledge stores have a positive effect on organizational ambidexterity, and organizational ambidexterity has a positive effect on eco-innovation. Our findings also show that the direct relationship between relational knowledge stores and organizational ambidexterity was stronger when the relational capital was high as opposed to when it was low. This study contributes to a theoretical understanding of why some firms engage in organizational ambidexterity than others, analyzing relational knowledge stores as a predictor and relational capital as moderator. I discuss the theoretical and managerial implications of our findings.
These days, thanks to lots of smart devices and advanced communication technologies, consumer’s recognition and relations have been changed. They, beyond relying on information and services which are produced by experts, produce information and knowledge by themselves via SNS or web that they want to know. As consumer’s recognition is changing like this, SNS is evolving into social platform. Therefore, this paper is intended to clarify overall relationship between network characteristics in social platform, knowledge sharing, social capital, social innovation and customer’s value. This paper has clarified influences between variables related to consumer’s behaviors in social platform and the results are summarized as following: First, network characteristics in social platform are found to positively affect knowledge sharing efforts of social platform. Second, knowledge sharing has been found to positively affect social capital and innovation in social platform. However, enjoyment in helping others i.e a sub variable is found to positively affect social capital and innovation through anticipated reciprocal relationships. Third, social capital and innovation in social platform have affected customer value in social platform positively. Consequently, this paper is intended to solve various problems found from overall societies and industries through social innovation and also to advance them. For these purposes, social platform is believed to prompt sharing idea and knowledge based on interactions between users and social relationship. These actions become social capitals resulting in social innovation. Moreover, these would create new businesses and marketing opportunities across various areas in the processes that innovative activities form customer values.
This paper reviewed the mediating effects of knowledge sharing between social capital(interaction, trust, shared vision) and innovation(radical innovation, incremental innovation) in small businesses. Based on the responses from 337 responses, the results of mediating effect analysis and path analysis showed that interaction and shared vision effect positively on radical innovation and incremental innovation via knowledge sharing or directly, but trust effects positively only on incremental innovation. Social capital and knowledge sharing have more effects on incremental innovation than on radical innovation.
Purpose - In this research, we investigate the relationship between the level of information technology utilization, social capital and knowledge management, organization performance. For information and knowledge management, participants’ certain level of information technology utilization is required and connections among participants are necessary for performing and for synergy effects.
Research design, data, and methodology - Reflecting on these, we empirically analyze the effects of participant’s information technology utilization level and social capital on knowledge management and organization achievement for the case of Incheon International Airport. Questionnaire is distributed to the airport employees and collected 221 samples for analyzing. SPSS and AMOS statistic programs are used for analysis. Factor analysis, Credibility adaptability, path analysis, hypotheses are verified.
Results - The study research shows as follow. First, the level of IT utilization does affect social capital but does not affect knowledge management. Second, social capital affects both knowledge management and organization achievement. To investigate more about the relationship between the level of IT utilization and knowledge management, we analyzed the control effects of personal characteristics, and findings are, first, employees with longer time service recognize the importance that the level of IT use and knowledge management affect organization achievement more seriously than employees with shorter time service do. Second, employees with shorter time service and younger employees have relatively lesser social capital and participate in knowledge management passively. Third, higher position employees think that the level of IT utilization affects knowledge management while lower position employees do not.
Conclusions – The level of IT utilization affects social capital, and social capital affects knowledge management and organization achievement. These results suggest that the level of IT utilization is very important to both organization and each employee. So providing related training and education opportunities or incentives to induce employees to make efforts for higher level of IT utilization and thus to participate in knowledge management more actively is necessary. The level of IT utilization affects social capital which airport employees lack. The one of study results indicates the importance of social capital and for higher competitiveness of the airport social capital should be increased.
