A Multi-Level Analysis of Innovative Korean SME Activity and Related Innovation Ecosystem
Douglas R. Gress,Ronald V. Kalafsky,Sharmistha Bagchi-Sen 서울대학교 아시아연구소 2021 아시아리뷰 Vol.11 No.3
Faced with waning exports and returns from innovation, the Korean government has prioritized the facilitation of small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) innovative activity and marketization. But are policies working? This research deploys a multi-level perspective to more holistically examine individual, firm, network, and industry-level factors, to include the regulatory environment, impacting Korean SMEs. Quantitative analyses of data from the 2016 national Korean Innovation Survey delve into 1) firm motivations, costs, and purchases; 2) internal R&D and external cooperation and knowledge sourcing; 3) innovation impacts on domestic and international market positioning and entry; and 4) sources of support for, and impediments to, innovation in order to provide a nuanced understanding of Korea’s innovation ecosystem. In a novel bifurcation, analyses compare firms engaged in new and incremental innovation and those engaged in only incremental innovation. Some key differences between the innovator groups emerge, such as training objectives, spending patterns on external knowledge, collaborate activity, and market positioning. Though there may be room for cautious optimism, perceived challenges to policy would appear to be equal for both groups of innovators, including those related to personnel, financing, and other government support and policy incentives. Implications for Korea’s future are discussed.

This research examines collaborative activity between expatriate academics, both with and without Korean ethnicity, and their (native Korean) peers both intra-organizationally (e.g. at department, college, and university levels) and in terms of location (e.g. within Korea, in Asia, outside of Asia). Collaboration is further explored vis-à-vis workplace satisfaction and socialization metrics. Ethnically Korean expatriate faculty are more likely to engage in cooperative research at the departmental, college, and university levels. Non-ethnically Korean expatriate faculty collaborate more outside of Asia, within Asia, and to lesser extents within Korea and at the case university. There is an inverse relationship between salary satisfaction and collaboration, yet collaborators as a group are more satisfied with the availability of graduate students. Other variables examined vis-à-vis collaboration include feelings of isolation, overall workplace satisfaction, the administrative stance of the department, socializing within the department, and feeling uninformed about funding opportunities.
Successful integration of foreign faculty into Korean universities: A proposed framework
Douglas R. Gress,Lynn Ilon 한국교육개발원 2009 KEDI Journal of Educational Policy Vol.6 No.2
Korea is making a concerted effort to become a world‐class leader in higher education and the motivations for inviting foreign faculty in conjunction with this effort are clear. However, Korean universities are competing for foreign faculty in an era of global expansion in higher education, so the success of any effort to integrate foreign faculty into Korean universities must entail more than the mere introduction of content classes taught by invited foreign faculty. Korean universities cannot afford to leave the recruitment and integration processes of foreign faculty or the potential gains to students, native professors, and the inviting institution to chance. We therefore outline a three‐pronged framework that simultaneously focuses on student, faculty, and administrative considerations with the goal of not only increasing the effectiveness of foreign faculty recruitment and retention, but also the overall productivity of all participants in the process.
Expatriate academics and managing diversity: a Korean host university’s perspective
신정철,Douglas R. Gress 서울대학교 교육연구소 2018 Asia Pacific Education Review Vol.19 No.2
Interest in the careers of expatriate academics has rapidly grown in recent years. The specified organizational and cultural norms to which a host-university expects expatriate academics to conform, however, have been left largely unexplored. A conjoined question, too, is whether or not the university is successfully managing for diversity. The present research therefore examines input from six senior managers at a leading Korean university, finding that it has its own expectations for expatriate academics although these expectations are not formally codified. The case university does not expect outstanding research from them because of acknowledged limitations in the research environment. Managers are satisfied with the teaching of expatriate academics with caveats, but their participation in service activities is a perceived challenge. This, language deficiency, and absences over paid term breaks diminish ‘we-ness’ and positive perceptions of expatriate faculty. Change, however, may come in time. For now, some colleges and departments may be defending the status quo rather than pursuing true ‘Leadership Practices for Diversity,’ but there are nonetheless positive developments in some academic units; expatriate academics are making their way up the ranks, and university level initiatives suggest that more change could be around the corner.

Background/Aims: The aim of this study was to describe the diagnostic yield of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) in patients with isolatedelevated levels of amylase and/or lipase. Methods: A retrospective chart review was conducted at a large academic medical center from 2000 to 2016. Patients were selectedbased on having elevated amylase, lipase, or both, but without a diagnosis of pancreatitis or known pancreatobiliary disease. Patientswere excluded if they had abnormal liver function tests or abnormal imaging of the pancreas. Results: Of 299 EUS procedures performed, 38 met inclusion criteria. Symptoms were present in 31 patients, most frequentlyabdominal pain (87%). In 20 patients (53%), initial EUS most commonly found chronic pancreatitis (n=7; 18%), sludge (5; 13%), or newdiagnosis of pancreas divisum (3; 8%). In the asymptomatic patients (7), 3 had a finding on EUS, most importantly sludge (2), stone (1),and pancreas divisum (1). No patients were diagnosed with a mass or pancreatic cyst. During the follow up period, 6 patients (22%) hadcholecystectomy. Conclusions: In our study of patients with isolated elevations in amylase and/or lipase without acute pancreatitis who underwent EUS,approximately 50% had a pancreatobiliary finding, most commonly chronic pancreatitis or biliary sludge.
