Abstract

The relationship between R&D investment and subsequent change has been mostly confirmed under additional influencing factors, with the form of innovation investments. The research assumes that a firm adjusts its R&D spending in accordance to performance feedback. It is argued that an increased fluctuation of a firm's R&D expense is related to a reduced performance. This hypothesis is tested on SME in World class 300 Projet by SMBA. Using panel data models, instability measured by SD is related to performance levels measured by ROA, ROE & PM. Results support the proposed relationship between R&D expense instability and the subsequent performance. Although a causal link cannot be clearly established, the results indicate that firms with a lower performance have higher R&D investment fluctuations, possibly being more responsive to performance feedback.

연구개발에 투자와 기업성과의 변화 간의 관계는 전략적 경영의 한 부분을 담당한다. 기업행동이론에 의하면 기업이 성과 피드백에 따라 R&D 지출을 조정한다고 가정한다. 성과 피드백을 통하여 기업은 연구역량을 변화시키거나 새로운 전략을 전개하는 것이 아니라 투자 수준을 조정하는 경향이 있다. 본 연구는 연구개발 비용의 증가는 기업성과의 감소와 관련되었다는 가설을 제기한다. 이 가설은 중소벤처기업부가 시행하는 월드클래스300프로젝트 지원사업에 참여한바 있는 중소 중견기업의 표본을 통해 검증하였다. 패널 데이터 모델을 사용하여 표준 편차로 측정한 R&D불안정성은 ROA, ROE 및 이익률로 측정한 기업성과 수준과 관련이 있는 것으로 분석되어 가설을 뒷받침한다. 인과관계에 대하여는 명확하게 정의할 수 없지만 기업성과가 낮은 기업이 R&D 투자 변동성이 높다는 것을 의미하며, 기업의 행동 이론에 의해 예상되는 성과 피드백 행태에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 다른 요인들보다 더 민감하게 반응 할 수 있다.
