This study investigates the validity of exploitation and exploration when small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) navigate a highly uncertain time. Although balancing the two strategies has been thought to lead to improved firm performance in general, a combined approach appears to be problematic for SMEs due to a lack of feasibility. We theorise that the effectiveness may vary depending on a fit between the strategies and the environmental contingencies. In doing so, we considered two potential environmental contingencies of a crisis for SMEs: loss of demand and loss of supply. To put our theory to the test, we gathered 224 responses from business leaders and key individuals from Korean start-ups and tested the effectiveness of crisis management strategies. Our findings support the validity of both exploitation and exploration when firms face a loss of demand, but not a loss of supply. It implies that the effectiveness of exploration and exploitation is contingent upon a specific form of crisis experienced at the firm level.

ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficiency of smart farm facilities of insect business entities. A questionnaire was conducted to investigate the actual conditions of smart farm edible insect business entities. A survey of 500 edible insect farms, all of which raised insects within 7 years of establishment, was conducted, and all of them raised insects in smart farm facilities. First, after dividing the smart farm into three levels, efficiency was measured. In particular, efficiency was analysed by distinguishing cases of possessing capital and those of receiving support from the government. The results confirmed that receiving government subsidies is more efficient than using own capital. The most significant finding is that if a business entity has a large amount of its own capital and receives government subsidies, efficiency decreases. In other words, when allocating government subsidies, the efficiency of those subsidies can be improved by first identifying the status of existing capital.

ABSTRACT The role of trademark use in finding infringement liability has always been on a hot debate, among which most scholars held that trademark use should serve as the gatekeeper of liability determination, but such debate lacks a proper grounding of empirical research. This article undertakes to fill this gap by adopting descriptive analysis, regression analyses and chi-square tests to review 1263 trademark infringement decisions in China. This study demonstrates that it is not the trademark use but the likelihood of confusion that lies at the core in deciding infringement liability. Additionally, the examination of the main factors considered by courts in deciding trademark use and likelihood of confusion reveals that the trademark use has been covered by the likelihood of confusion test. Based on these findings, this article suggests that there is no need to separately set up trademark use as the precondition to impose infringement liability.

ABSTRACT This study examines the effects of two types of technological capabilities, i.e. implementation and design capabilities, across different industrial development stages, and coherent yet evolving innovation policies to foster each of the technological capabilities. This framework provides a theoretical basis to analyse the two different types of non-continuous transitions between the stages of industrial development. It also explains that these transitions come from the accumulation of technological capability led by deliberate policy intervention to manage the transition process. The Korean industrial development experience shows how the country’s innovation policies and following upgrades in technological capability led to successful transitions of industries. The lessons from Korean development provide strong policy implications to countries facing slowdowns during industrial transitions, and explain the slowdowns from the perspective of two distinct technological capabilities.

ABSTRACT Based on the panel data of 24 provinces and cities in China from 2009 to 2017, this paper uses panel threshold regression model with regional intellectual property protection intensity as the threshold variable to investigate the effect of R&D investment on regional innovation performance from two perspectives of human resource investment and R&D funding investment with different threshold effects. The results show that human resource investment and R&D investment have a significant contribution to regional innovation performance with a lag of three periods, and there is a significant double threshold effect. The optimal intellectual property protection intensity range of human resource input on regional innovation performance promotion is (0.8698, 0.8712). The optimal intellectual property protection intensity range for R&D investment on regional innovation performance is (0.8698, 0.8781), and R&D investment on regional innovation performance shows an increasing and then decreasing effect. This paper constructs a system of indicators to measure the intensity of intellectual property protection in China based on the “dual-track parallelism” of intellectual property protection management in China. It also measures the intensity of intellectual property protection in each region of China. A non-linear relationship between R&D investment, intellectual property protection and regional innovation is found.

ABSTRACT With the advent of the knowledge economy, inbound open innovation for knowledge-intensive SMEs has attracted more and more attention. However, the distinctiveness between them and traditional SMEs in this process remains undiscussed. This paper investigates how different partnerships influence knowledge-intensive SMEs' innovative performance by demonstrating the organisational learning capability mechanism. Based on the survey data from 248 Chinese knowledge-intensive SMEs, this paper finds that both market-based and science-based partnerships play nonnegligible roles in knowledge-intensive SMEs' innovative performance, and organisational learning capability partially mediates these relationships. In addition, when the environmental turbulence increases, knowledge-intensive SMEs prefer science-based partnerships. The research results indicate that knowledge-intensive SMEs have different partner selection strategies for open innovation compared to traditional SMEs, which could be affected by the turbulence of the external environment. This study sheds light on the relationship between open innovation and the performance of knowledge-intensive SMEs.

ABSTRACT Although self-bag-drop (SBD) kiosks provide a fast and convenient way to check in bags at airports, many airline passengers are reluctant to use and accept this innovative technology. Using innovation diffusion theory, this study employs three characteristics of innovation (relative advantage, trialability, and compatibility) to examine which constructs influence airline passenger attitude toward, trust in, and intention to use SBD kiosks. Results of an online survey of 330 Koreans reveal that among the three characteristics of innovation, relative advantage and trialability positively affect attitude toward and trust in SBD service providers and kiosks, and compatibility affects only passenger attitude toward and trust in SBD kiosks. Results also show that trust in SBD service providers is positively related to trust in SBD kiosks, which in turn influences passenger intention to utilise SBD services. Several theoretical and practical implications are suggested.
