About
Hyun-Sook Ahn investigates the intersection of technology adoption and organizational innovation, with a particular focus on how intelligent systems reshape manufacturing enterprises. Her research centers on the critical factors that drive or hinder the implementation of advanced technologies—such as intelligent robots—within industrial contexts. In her most cited work, Ahn examines how technological, organizational, and environmental characteristics influence process innovation among medium-sized manufacturing firms. By analyzing data from 77 companies using Partial Least Square (PLS) methods, she identifies six key variables—including perceived direct and indirect benefits, innovativeness, risk tolerance, and external pressures from industry and government—that determine successful technology integration. While her citation count reflects the emerging nature of this field, her work provides foundational insights for practitioners and policymakers seeking to enhance manufacturing competitiveness through intelligent automation. Ahn’s contributions are particularly valuable for understanding the nuanced adoption pathways in non-large enterprises, where resource constraints and organizational culture play decisive roles. Her research offers a structured framework for evaluating technology readiness and innovation potential in real-world industrial settings.
