A development of innovative new product is one of factors of core competitive advantage. It is very difficult that corporate anchor down, create constant performances even though most of them develop, launch plenty of new products. So, it is a pressing matter of all companies to develop differentiated to competitors and innovative to customers new products.
A development of innovative new product is one of factors of core competitive advantage. While there are plethorasof new products that are released, it is rather a difficult mission to gain the market share and create a consistent performance. So, it is a pressing matter of all companies to develop a product that is differentiated to competitors and innovative to customers.
There are various factors to influence upon innovation and performance of new products according to previous studies. One part are internal factors ? involvement of employee, communication of related departments like R&D, marketing resources and innovative culture of organization ? and another part are external factors ? competitive environment, customer & market oriented marketing.

That is, most studies have focused to make a strong competitiveness of organization such as building systems, innovative culture of organization, operating organization to have a competitive power.
That is, most studies have focused on strong competitiveness of organization such as building systems, innovative culture of organization, operating organization for key efforts towards to gain the competitive power.
If we think acts for an innovative new product start out of a product planner, so it is important to ensure a excellent employee who is innovative and capable. But, studies have been rare relatively even though it is related to capability of product planner and innovation of a new product.
Although it is a key factor for the cooperation to secure human resource who is innovative and capable for gaining a competitive edge, and while the initiative for that innovative new product is triggered from the new product planner, Studies conducted for capability of product planner and innovation of a new product leaves much to be desired.
Therefore this study will light on relation creativity and knowledge competence of a product planner between innovativeness of new product and apply to field acts based on result of this study. First of all we classify innovativeness of product planner into originality, fluency, flexibility, elaboraty and analyze relation each factor between innovativeness of new product. And then we will do in the same way on knowledge competence of a product planner into receptive, combination, coordination capacity and understand what is required to make a innovativeness of new product.

Last of all we build up a hypothesis that two independent variables seem to be affected by organizational culture and corporate regulations because most of new product planners are belong to a team. So we researched product planners of Korea?s sizable food company ? 48 companies, 233 people - in advance to know sub factors of variables.
Last of all we build up a hypothesis that two independent variables seem to be affected by organizational culture and corporate regulations because most of new product planners are belong to a team. So we researched product planners of Korea?s sizable food companies ? 48 companies, 233 people - in advance to for the research of sub factors of variables.
We did a ?Factor Analysis?to develop norms of questionnaires and assure validity and a Multiple Regression to find out if there is gap or not between innovativeness, knowledge competence of product planners and innovativeness of new product according to influences on control of organizational culture. Also, we did a Covariance Structure Analysis to analyze the relation of cause and effect of suggested study model. To verity hypothesizes and fitness of the model we used SPSS/PC version 12.0 and AMOS 5.0
To assure validity and a Multiple Regression and to develop norms of questionnaires ?Factor Analysis? was performed in quest to enquire if there is gap or not between innovativeness, knowledge competence of product planners and innovativeness of new product according to influences on control of organizational culture. Also, we did a Covariance Structure Analysis to analyze the relation of cause and effect of suggested study model. SPSS/PC version 12.0 and AMOS 5.0 was used to verity hypothesizes and fitness of the model.
We can find our core facts through verification of model and hypothesizes as below.
The core facts that were discovered through verification of model and hypothesize are as below
At First originality, flexibility and elaboraty influence positive on innovation of benefit of customers and competitive advantage to competitors. That is, a product planner who novelty, capable of generating unique idea escaping existing needs and products has a much higher possibility to meet various needs of customers and create new services and benefits.
Firstly, it is the originality, flexibility and elaboraty that have a positive influence on innovation of benefit of customers and competitive advantage to competitors. That is, a product planner who novelty, capable of generating unique idea escaping existing needs and products has a much higher possibility to meet various needs of customers and create new services and benefits.
Further more flexibility of a product planner who find diverse solutions by changing established way of thinking or point of view can contribute to innovation of corporate destroying a frame of routine way of problem solving and creating new behaviors of how to use so that they improve competitiveness.
Furthermore, flexibility of a product planner who find diverse solutions by changing established way of thinking or point of view can contribute to innovation of corporate lateral thinking way of problem solving and creating new behaviors of how to use so that they improve competitiveness.
And elaborateness that ability to elevate former rough ideas into familiar as we see the study of Lim Sun-Ha(1993) can influence positive on innovation of corporate, because elaborateness ability can find, elevate abandoned ideas. But fluency that can produce more ideas in limited time brought in a meaningless result as a statistical. So, we can know the result show us a innovation of quality and differentiated benefits are more important than a quantity of new products.
As shown in the study of Lim Sun-Ha(1993), elaborateness that ability to elevate abstract idea into formed concept can influence positive on innovation of the corporation because elaborateness ability can find, elevate abandoned ideas. But statistics show that such fluency whichcan produce more ideas in limited time brought in a meaningless result. So, we can know the result show us a innovation of quality and differentiated benefits are more important than a quantity of new products.
Secondly, we can find out receptive market & technology ability, combination knowledge capacity connected with innovation of benefit to customers and competitive advantage to competitors. That is, we became to know that receptive capacity of product knowledge on new technology, market, competitors have positive effect on innovativeness of new product by making unique benefits and new services to customer as Glazer(1991) insisted same result.
Secondly, we can find out receptive market & technology ability, combination knowledge capacity is deeply related with the innovation of benefit to customers and competitive advantage to competitors. That is, as Glazer (1991) insisted, it was clear that the receptive capacity of product knowledge on new technology, market, competitors have positive effect on innovativeness of new product by making unique benefits and new services to customer.
Receptive capacity of knowledge that can capture exact, detail knowledge about target segmentation and combination knowledge capacity that can manage information in a speedy have deep relationship that Song & Parry insisted on same result 1996 like we find out in acquiring innovation and competitiveness of new product by searching and combining market and customers.
As Song & Parry (1996) indicated, it was discovered that the receptive capacity of knowledge that can capture exact, detail knowledge about target segmentation and combination knowledge capacity that can manage information in a speedy are heavily linked with acquiring innovation and competitiveness of new product by searching and combining market and customers.
But coordinating capacity which leads to integrate and share information among department such as R&D, producing, marketing for synergy effect brought in meaningless result one of the core capability to win innovation and differentiated competitiveness.
Although coordinating capacity which leads to integration and knowledge sharing among department for synergy effect in such tasks as R&D, producing, marketing had generated much synergy effect through cooperation, such coordinating capacity had little effect on the actual innovativeness on the product in comparison to knowledge capacity and combination knowledge capacity
Third, levels of empowerment, incentives, creative administration of organization that can motivate willingly have positive influences on innovativeness of a product planner by improving creativity and knowledge of him. To wit, the result show us willingly empowerment lead him to pursuit on innovativeness by increase flexibility and giving him self-confidence. Concerning incentive, monetary one is meaningful effect factor as a innovativeness influencing factor but, non-monetary one is less stronger effect relatively.
Third, levels of empowerment, incentives, creative administration of organization that can motivate willingly have positive influences on innovativeness of a product planner by improving creativity and knowledge.
Moreover, the freedom in empowerment within organization encourages the flexibility and generate confidence with product planner which in turn will pursue in innovativeness more actively, Concerning incentive, monetary one is meaningful effect factor as a innovativeness influencing factor but, non-monetary one is less stronger effect relatively.
To sum up, results of this study give us suggestion as below
To sum up, the discoveries that this study shows are as follows:
First, although former studies on new product process have continued about organizations or teams like marketing competency, involvement of employee and communication between department as factors to effect performance of new product, this study brought into new concept that former factors to influence on innovation of new product start from capacity of product planner and apply to organizational culture as a control variable.
