Although prior studies have broadly examined the external economic consequences of corporate green innovation (GI) strategies, whether and how GI strategies influence firms’ internal operations is underexplored. To fill this significant gap, we investigate the effect of GI initiatives on firm human capital structure, as represented by the ratio of salesmen (RSE) and accountants (RAE) to total employees. A higher RSE (RAE) plausibly indicates an enhanced position of salesmen (accountants) in human capital and greater importance that firms attach to their crucial role in improving marketing (reporting). Consistent with GI enhancing consumer purchase willingness, we find that GI lowers RSE. In line with GI reducing financing constraints and firms’ emphasis on high-quality financial reporting, we record that GI decreases RAE. Moreover, such inhibitory effects become stronger when stakeholders’ recognition of GI strategies grows, or when firms ex-ante rely more on marketing (reporting) functions of salesmen (accountants).
尽管以往的研究广泛考察了企业绿色创新(GI)战略的外部经济后果,但对 GI 战略是否以及如何影响企业内部运营的研究却很少。为了填补这一重大空白,我们研究了 GI 计划对企业人力资本结构的影响,具体表现为销售人员(RSE)和会计人员(RAE)占员工总数的比例。RSE(RAE)越高,说明销售员(会计师)在人力资本中的地位越高,企业越重视他们在改善营销(报告)方面的关键作用。与地理信息增强消费者购买意愿相一致,我们发现地理信息降低了 RSE。与 GI 减少融资限制和企业重视高质量财务报告相一致,我们发现 GI 降低了 RAE。此外,当利益相关者对地理信息战略的认可度提高时,或当企业事前更依赖于销售人员(会计师)的营销(报告)职能时,这种抑制作用会变得更强。

The purpose of this study is to identify core occupational characteristics that affect the potential for a job to be automated and to reveal the relationship and paths between those characteristics, such as skill(s), work environment and knowledge. In this study, a network was estimated and visualised to identify the relationship between occupational characteristics using the Gaussian graphical model method and to reveal the occupational characteristics linked to the potential for automation variable. As a result of estimating and visualising the network, it was found that the occupational characteristics with low potential for automation were art, decision-making, assisting and caring for others and working in cramped spaces, while those with high potential for automation involved repeating the same tasks. Furthermore, after analysing the shortest paths from each occupational characteristic node to the automation node, it was revealed that even occupational characteristics with high potential for automation can have varying levels of automation possibility depending on the mediators. Based on the results, education and vocational training policies for low- and middle-skill workers, young workers and potential workers are suggested.

This article describes an emergent innovation ecosystem in the southern Indian state of Kerala. In contrast to a dominant national imagination of start-ups in India as spaces for the development of novel products with high economic potential, we suggest that start-ups in Kerala exhibit a tendency towards ‘social innovation’, that is, start-ups that are strongly oriented by the goal of addressing particular societal needs in addition to being successful on the market. Drawing on ethnographic interviews with start-up founders and other related stakeholders, as well as media and documentary analysis, we highlight in this essay key characteristics of social innovation in Kerala, including their reliance on tech-fix approaches. We also highlight the central role of the Kerala Start-up Mission (KSUM), a state-sponsored nodal agency, as a crucial enabler and shaper of the state’s innovation ecosystem. We further suggest that even as this innovation ecosystem is able to address important societal concerns, it nonetheless bypasses underlying social structures that produce them in the first place. Building on the work of sociologist Cornelius Schubert, we argue that it is analytically productive to interpret social innovation in Kerala as an instance of ‘disruptive maintenance’.

The biopharmaceutical industry in Korea is considered a key strategic industry following the semiconductor industry. However, success in the biopharmaceutical industry depends on the outcome of research and development processes that require long periods and substantial investment, resulting in a success rate of only around 2.5%–4% for new drug development. Consequently, rational strategic choices, such as determining key capabilities to pursue business, deciding where to position within the value chain and identifying collaboration partners and strategies, are more crucial in the biopharmaceutical industry compared to other industries. In this study, we divided Korean biopharmaceutical companies into research and development groups and Integrated groups, which perform both research and production, and compared their productivity using the meta-frontier methodology to verify the significance of technology gap ratio (TGR) values between groups. We also investigated the influence of open innovation activities, including the type, partners and timing, on the TGR of each group with Tobit analysis. The investigation revealed that productivity and its influencing elements varied depending on the business model. This finding suggests that this information can be utilised to develop efficient industrial policies.

Since the advent of the fourth industrial revolution, the global economy has been led by big tech companies based on technology startups. In this situation, it is very timely to investigate the antecedent factors for the performance enhancement of technology startups that can play a big role in driving economic growth. We investigate the effect of entrepreneurial orientation and technology acquisition on the financial and non-financial performance of technology startups. In order to achieve these research goals, we collected data from 121 Korean technology startups to examine the effects. Our results support that both entrepreneurial orientation and technology acquisition improve the performance (financial and non-financial) of technology startups. In addition, the entrepreneurial orientation of technology startups has a significant indirect effect on performance (financial and non-financial) through technology acquisition. Overall, our study contributes to improving the understanding of the antecedent factors for the achievement of the performance of technology startups in the field of entrepreneurship research by presenting a new research model of the relationship between entrepreneurial orientation, technology acquisition and the performance of technology startups. In addition, this study provides the basis for the need for technology acquisition support policies for technology startup support institutions to nurture technology startups.

The study aims to explore how to measure firms’ open innovation from financial statements. So, our research question is as follows: How can we determine firms’ open innovation signals directly or indirectly from financial statements? This study used data from the US financial statements and patent registration database from 2016 to 2018 to answer this research question. Three manifest signals of open innovation in financial data were found. First, subsidiary or related firm investment in financial data may have a negative relationship with open innovation because open innovation (i.e., the co-application of patents) could decrease subsidiary or related firm investment. But there are differences between the top and bottom twenty firms. Second, internal R&D investment (I R&D) in financial data may have a positive relationship with open innovation because I R&D could trigger inward open innovation. If I R&D combines with an open innovation strategy, it increases the size of subsidiary or related firm investment as a kind of inward open innovation. Third, free cash flow (FCF) in financial data may have a positive relationship with open innovation because high FCF could support outward open innovation.
本研究旨在探讨如何从财务报表中衡量企业的开放式创新。因此,我们的研究问题如下:如何从财务报表中直接或间接地判断企业的开放式创新信号?本研究使用了2016年至2018年美国财务报表和专利注册数据库的数据来回答这一研究问题。研究发现了财务数据中开放式创新的三个显性信号。首先,子公司或相关企业对财务数据的投资可能与开放式创新存在负相关关系,因为开放式创新(即专利的共同应用)可能会减少子公司或相关企业的投资。但前二十名和后二十名企业之间存在差异。其次,财务数据中的内部研发投资(I R&D)可能与开放式创新有正相关关系,因为 I R&D 可以引发内向型开放式创新。如果 I R&D 与开放式创新战略相结合,就会增加子公司或相关企业的投资规模,这是一种内向型开放式创新。第三,财务数据中的自由现金流(FCF)可能与开放式创新呈正相关,因为高自由现金流可以支持外向型开放式创新。

This study examines the factors that influence pro-environmental behaviour intention (PEBI) in manufacturing small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The data were collected from 517 executives and chief technology officers of Korean SMEs and analysed using a comprehensive research model. The model includes variables such as awareness of consequences (ACs), ascription of responsibility (AR), personal norms (PNs), extrinsic motivation (EM), subjective norms (SNs) and realistic values (RVs). The results show significant relationships between these factors and PEBI. In particular, ACs and AR have positive effects on PNs, with AR having a stronger effect. PNs are the most important predictor of PEBI. EM has a positive impact on behaviour intention, while SNs do not have a significant impact. Interestingly, RVs have a negative impact. These findings have practical implications for encouraging pro-environmental behaviour in manufacturing SMEs. Policymakers and business planners should focus on increasing awareness of environmental consequences and individual responsibility to reinforce PNs. Moreover, offering extrinsic rewards and benefits can motivate pro-environmental behaviour in these firms. Understanding these factors can help design targeted strategies for promoting sustainability practices within manufacturing SMEs. By addressing these aspects, businesses can contribute to environmental innovation and sustainable development.
本研究探讨了影响制造业中小企业亲环境行为意向(PEBI)的因素。数据收集自 517 名韩国中小型企业的高管和首席技术官,并使用综合研究模型进行了分析。该模型包括后果意识(AC)、责任归属(AR)、个人规范(PN)、外在动机(EM)、主观规范(SN)和现实价值观(RV)等变量。结果表明,这些因素与 PEBI 之间存在重要关系。其中,ACs 和 AR 对 PNs 有积极影响,而 AR 的影响更大。PNs 是预测 PEBI 的最重要因素。EM 对行为意向有积极影响,而 SN 没有显著影响。有趣的是,RV 具有负面影响。这些发现对鼓励中小型制造企业的环保行为具有实际意义。政策制定者和企业规划者应注重提高对环境后果和个人责任的认识,以强化亲环境行为。此外,提供外在奖励和利益也能激励这些企业的亲环境行为。了解这些因素有助于制定有针对性的战略,促进中小型制造企业的可持续发展实践。通过解决这些方面的问题,企业可以为环境创新和可持续发展做出贡献。

In the context of knowledge-based economy, an organisation’s ability to create knowledge is the most important factor in maintaining its competitiveness. Collective intelligence is posited as a paramount methodology not only for the generation of knowledge pertaining to multifaceted issues but also as a fundamental pillar within the framework of organizational knowledge management. The use of emerging technologies is an important strategy for improving the organisation’s ability to create knowledge through collective intelligence by adding depth and breadth of knowledge. However, excessive use of technology often has a negative impact on organisational knowledge management. Therefore, this study aims to identify the two-sided effect of using emerging technologies (big data analytics (BDA) and online platforms) on organisational knowledge creation according to the complexity of the task. The results of our study suggest that the use of BDA technology for organisational knowledge creation should be maintained at an appropriate level in general, but it is recommended to increase the use of BDA technology for low-complexity tasks. In addition, using online platform technology is difficult to consider as a strategic way to solve high-complexity tasks, but increasing the use of BDA technology can contribute to improving the organisation’s ability to create knowledge.
