Abstract

Recently, the importance of technological innovation has increased for securing competitiveness and for the survival of companies. On the other hand, obstacles that enterprises face during the course of technological innovation have diversified. Through prior studies, various innovation sources and government support systems are considered important factors in resolving these obstacles as well as securing technological innovation and competitiveness. However, these studies face criticism concerning various relationships between the influencing factors and the use of simple causal models. In this study, the effects on performance were analyzed based on a structural equation model. For analysis, 1,251 observed values were collected from the "2014 Korean Innovation Survey: Manufacturing Sector". Results found that obstacles to technological innovation in terms of fund, capacity and market promote the use of innovation sources and government support programs. On the other hand, various innovation sources and government support systems utilized by corporations have positively influenced technological innovation performance. As expected, among these obstacles, financial limitation had the greatest negative effect on innovation.

최근 기업의 경쟁력 확보와 생존에 있어 기술혁신의 중요성이 증대되고 있다. 반면 기업이 직면하는 기술혁신 장애요인도 다양해지고 있다. 여러 선행연구를 통해 기술혁신 장애요인을 해소하고 기술경쟁력을 확보하는데 다양한 내 외부 혁신원천과 정부지원제도의 활용이 중요한 요소로 평가받고 있다. 다만 단순한 인과모형에 기반해 변수간의 다양한 관계성을 고려하지 못했다는 비판이 있었다. 이 같은 선행연구의 지적에 바탕하여 본 연구에서는 혁신활동 수행에 있어 기업이 직면하는 기술혁신 장애요인을 OECD의 오슬로 매뉴얼(Oslo manual)과 다수 선행연구에 근거해 재무적 요인과 기술역량, 시장/제도관련 요인으로 구분하고, 이들 요인 간의 상호종속적 관계를 고려하여 혁신원천과 정부지원제도 활용 그리고 기술혁신성과에 미치는 영향을 구조방정식모형에 기반해 분석하였다. 실증분석에는 "2014 한국기업혁신조사: 제조업 부문"결과에서 결측치를 제외한 1,251개의 관측치를 활용하였다. 분석 결과, 자금, 역량, 시장 등 기술혁신 장애요인은 혁신원천과 정부지원제도 활용을 촉진하는 것으로 나타났다. 한편, 기업이 활용한 다양한 혁신원천과 정부지원제도는 기술혁신성과에 긍정적인 영향을 미쳤다. 기술혁신 장애요인 중에서는 자금이 가장 부정적으로 기능하였다.
