About the Lab
Professor Seokkyun Woo's research lab specializes in innovation management, science and technology policy, and the translation of scientific research into practical applications. The lab investigates how organizational capabilities—such as knowledge recombination, interdisciplinary collaboration, and leadership commitment—influence innovation outcomes in both public and private sectors. It also examines institutional mechanisms like innovation accelerators (e.g., NSF I-Corps), translational research programs (e.g., CTSA), and intellectual property regimes in fostering technological advancement. The lab employs mixed-methods approaches, combining bibliometric, patent, and survey analyses to evaluate the impact of science and innovation policies.

13Recent surge in technological convergences has generated great interests from scholars, managers and policy-makers. Yet, few literatures have investigated firm-specific factors behind developing convergent products. This research has empirically analysed the role of firms’ knowledge recombination capabilities and external collaborations in developing convergent products by using a survey data from 858 Korean firms. The findings suggest that presence of interdisciplinary employees and the strong
Abstract Citations are increasingly being used to evaluate institutional and individual performance, suggesting a need for rigorous research to understand what behaviors citations are reflecting and what these behaviors mean for the institution of science. To overcome challenges in accurately representing the citation generation process, we use postretraction citations to test competing theories under two different citation search processes, empirically testing predictions on the spread of retra
Abstract This study contributes to the literature on accelerators which focuses on private sector accelerators by providing an analysis of an accelerator in the public sphere that works with early-stage, science-driven applications, the National Science Foundation’s Innovation-Corps (I-Corps) program. The methodology is based on a comparison of the ability of the services delivered through the I-Corps program to teams at the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) to speed their venture p
Abstract Studies point out that the productivity decline in biomedicine is in significant part due to difficulties in translating basic science into clinical application. To promote translational research, the US NIH launched the Clinical and Translational Science Awards (CTSA) program in 2006. Prior evaluations of the CTSA program often assumed that the key to translation is inter-organizational collaboration or multidisciplinarity; hence, changes in either of these were measured as evidence of
This report examines Germany's research and patent position in four autonomous systems: smart homes, smart factories, autonomous vehicles (non-hostile environments), and autonomous vehicles in hostile environments. Bibliometric analysis of scholarly papers indexed in the Web of Science and patent analysis of documents in Patstat and Derwent Innovation Index (representing patents from more than 40 patent authorities worldwide) are conducted for all records published in the 2002 to 2017 (May) time
