Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of CEO technological capability on management performance and mediating role of firm's technological capability. The empirical data for this study are taken not from subjective studies released by companies but from the Korea Technology Guarantee Fund's(KTGF) technology assessment data. The result are as follows. First, CEO technological capability has a very significant and important influence on firm's technological capabilities and on technological performance(intellectual property rights(-), technology spillover effect(+)) and on management performance. Second, mediating role of firm's technological capability is revealed negatively only between CEO technological capability and intellectual property rights. Because of CEO technological capability has a significant influence on firm's technological capability and management performance, start-up based on expertise show a higher probability of success than the founder.

본 연구는 중소기업의 전략적 자원으로 인식되고 있는 최고경영자의 역량 중 기술적 역량이 기업성과에 미치는 영향과 기업의 기술적 역량이 최고경영자 기술적 역량과 기업성과사이에 매개역할을 하는지에 대해 분석하였다. 분석을 위한 총 표본은 기술보증기금에서 보유하고 있는 중소기업 데이타를 활용하였으며, 분석결과 CEO의 기술적 역량은 기업의 기술적 역량에 유의한 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타나 고학력일수록, 동업종종사경험이 많을수록 연구개발 활동에 적극적임을 알 수 있었고, 기술파급효과와 경영성과에는 유의한 영향을 미치나 기술성과인 특허건수, 출원 중 특허건수에는 유의한 부(-)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 기업의 기술적 역량이 CEO의 기술적 역량과 기술성과인 특허건수, 출원중 특허 건수에는 유의한 부(-)의 매개효과가 나타났으나, CEO의 기술적역 량과 기술적 파급 효과간, CEO의 기술적 역량과 경영성과 간에는 매개역할을 하지 않은 것으로 나타났다. CEO의 기술적 역량이 기업의 기술적 역량인 기업기술개발 능력과 경영성과에 유의한 영향을 미치므로 전문지식에 바탕을 둔 이공계 창업이 일반 창업보다 성공가능성이 높다는 것을 보여준다.
