Abstract

Recently, although many firms conduct open innovation through collaboration with other innovation actors, little attention has been paid to research and case study with regard to SMEs. However, since the capability of SMEs is too insufficient to access external resources and collaborate with other firms, SMEs have practical needs for active open innovation. In addition, although a lot of SMEs depend on external resources in terms of distribution, services and sales, most of open innovation-related research concentrate on R&D and production. Therefore, this research aims at presenting various types, methods and policy to stimulate the open innovation of SMEs. Typical types of open innovation which SMEs can take will be identified and then a relevant open innovation type will be matched on the basis of the characteristics of sectors. The results of this research will be helpful for policy makers to promote open innovation in SMEs.

최근 많은 기업들이 다른 혁신 주체들과의 협력을 통한 오픈 이노베이션을 수행하고 있지만 중소기업에 관련된 연구나 사례분석에는 많은 관심이 기울여지지 않고 있다. 그러나 중소기업의 경쟁력은 전반적으로 충분하지 못해서 외부의 리소스에 접근하거나 다른 기업들과 협력하기에 매우 어려움을 토로하고 있다. 또한 많은 중소기업들이 유통, 서비스, 판매 등과 관련된 외부 리소스에 의존하고 있으나 오픈 이노베이션과 관련된 연구들은 대개 연구개발이나 생산에만 집중하고 있는 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 중소기업의 오픈 이노베이션을 촉진하기 위한 방법과 정책을 제시하고 중소기업이 채택할 수 있는 다양한 형태의 오픈 이노베이션 유형을 제시하고자 한다. 이를 위하여 중소기업이 선택할 수 있는 오픈 이노베이션의 형태를 정의하고 산업이나 기업의 특성에 맞는 오픈 이노베이션의 유형을 제시한다. 본 연구의 결과는 정책 결정자가 중소기업의 오픈 이노베이션을 촉진할 수 있도록 지원책을 마련하는데 유용한 자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.
