Hiring experienced and its outcome in terms of innovation decision process: Evidence from Hyundai Heavy Industries

Abstract

Previous research on hiring have focused on knowledge transfer, patent, business and etc., and there has been no attention to the subject of hiring outcome in the context of innovation decision process. In this paper, I look for factors which can influence on the hiring experienced and factors impacting on hiring outcomes in the perspective of innovation decision process by examining the case of Hyundai Heavy Industries. The case analysis shows that when exploring new business and restructuring business, a company hires experienced. The factors that affect hiring outcomes in the perspective of innovation decision process are found to be the hierarchical position of employee.
