Exploring the Impacts of Inbound Open Innovation Strategies on the Product and Process Innovations of Korean Manufacturing SMEs

허용석 한국상품학회 2015 商品學硏究 Vol.33 No.3

Based on the 311 samples collected from the Korean small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the manufacturing industry, this study empirically examines the impacts of the inbound open innovation strategies such as external R&D collaboration, external R&D outsourcing, and external knowledge purchase on the SMEs’ product and process innovations. The open innovation paradigm suggests that implementing the inbound open innovation strategies are effective in generating more innovations for the SMEs which have the limited internal R&D resources but this study shows that not all inbound open innovation strategies have positive effects on the Korean SMEs’ product and process innovations. The empirical analysis results from this study reveal that external R&D collaboration has a positive effect whereas external R&D outsourcing and external knowledge purchase do not have significant impacts on the Korean SMEs’ product and process innovations. The new findings from this study are expected to deepen and widen the studies about the effects of open innovation strategies for the Korean SMEs’ innovations.

허용석 한국산업경영시스템학회 2017 한국산업경영시스템학회지 Vol.40 No.1

This study empirically analyzes the effect of IT SME ventures’ external information network diversity on their production period reduction and productivity improvement generated from technology development. This research constructs a mediating model based on the open innovation perspective and tests it with the 138 samples of South Korean IT SME ventures based on the ordinary least squares regression. This research is expected to make a good contribution by shedding a new light on the following three points about the critical role of IT SME ventures’ external information network diversity in increasing their production period reduction and productivity improvement generated from technology development which has scarcely been illuminated in the extant studies in the field of the management of technology for SMEs. First, IT SME ventures’ external information network diversity positively influences their production period reduction. Second, the external information network diversity positively influences IT SMEs’ ventures’ productivity improvement. Third, IT SME ventures’ production period reduction partially mediates the influence of IT SME ventures’ external network diversity on their productivity improvement. These three fresh points are expected to provide useful theoretical and practical implications. Related to the theoretical implication, this research provides a fresh implication that IT SME ventures’ external information network diversity positively influences not only their production period reduction but also productivity improvement generated from technology development. Concerning the practical implication, this study suggests that the CEOs in IT SME ventures make strategic efforts to use more diverse external information sources in order to increase their production period reduction and productivity improvement generated from technology development.
