초록

This study empirically examines whether managerial myopia leads to short-termism of innovation strategy using Korean firm and USPTO data covering 1980-2017. The main finding is that payout indicators, as the proxy variables for financialisation and managerial myopia, have a negative effect on innovation, quantitatively and qualitatively. Hence, managerial myopia and short-termism of innovation strategy are related. Further, estimation by the firm's size reveals that the hypothesis of managerial myopia leading to short-termism of innovation strategy is valid only for conglomerates. © 2020 The Author(s).
