Abstract

This study provides new perspective by the principle of individual innovation from the perspective of humanitarianism based on the theoretical background that individuals constituting an organization, not the object of the organizational unit, should be the principal agent of corporate innovation to succeed in corporate innovation. In addition, in order to accomplish the purpose of this research, a theoretical model of the ‘cycle structure of transformation’ was established. It has been confirmed that the cultural capital of an individual embodied by habitus, the class-oriented tendency, argued by Pierre Bourdieu has a positive influence on innovative behavior through mimesis, which instinctively imitates an object for rational self-determination and self-preservation to fulfill needs. Because this study confirms the extent to which individually embodied cultural capital influences innovative behavior and which principles drive individual-level innovative behavior by self-determination and mimesis, the fundamental working principle of enterprise innovation will be clarified. Accordingly, the purpose of this study is to provide theoretical framework and implications needed for the strategic innovation measures, improvement of management techniques, and development of new operational management model in the rapidly changing era. Also, in addition to collective unconscious cultural capital, future studies should research factors that hinder innovation by adding the unconscious perceptual variables such as self-contradiction according to cognitive bias.

Focused on Mediatory Effects of Self-Determination and Mimsis.
