기업가적 지향성은 신생기업의 사업 성공을 위해 필수적으로 요구되는 성향이라고 알려져 있다. 기업가적 지향성은 시장기회를 포착하는데 유용하기 때문에 자원이 부족하고 조직 성장을 위한 수단들을 모색하기 쉽지 않은 중소 벤처기업들이 고려할 수 있는 좋은 대안으로 설명되고 있다. 그렇지만 다양한 경영성과를 대상으로 기업가적 지향성의 성과 효과를 심도 있게 비교하고 있는 실증연구들은 제한된다. 이에 본 연구는 기업가적 지향성과 경영성과간의 관계를 파악하는 기존 실증연구들을 검토하여 그 동안 논의가 제한적이었던 두 가지 이슈에 초점을 맞추어 기업가적 지향성의 성과 효과를 재검토하였다. 첫째, 기업가적 지향성의 선형적인 효과뿐만 아니라 비선형적인 효과를 파악함으로써 기업가적 지향성의 성과 효과를 다각도로 검토하였다. 둘째, 기업가적 지향성을 측정하는 방식을 달리 하더라도 분석결과가 일관되게 나타나는 지를 검토하였다. 한국의 1,497개 중소 벤처기업을 대상으로 한 논문의 분석결과, 매출액 증가율과 같은 재무적 성과를 경영성과로 한 기업가적 지향성의 비선형 효과는 통계적으로 유의미하지 않은 것으로 나타난 반면, 기술개발 및 제품개발 성과와 같은 혁신성과에 대한 기업가적 지향성의 비선형 효과는 통계적으로 유의미한 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 이와 같은 기업가적 지향성과 경영성과간의 관계 패턴은 기업가적 지향성의 측정 방법을 달리하더라도 유사하게 나타났다. 이러한 분석결과에 근거하여 본 연구의 이론적 함의, 한계 및 미래의 연구 방향에 대해 기술하였다.
Abstract
The concept of entrepreneurial orientation has been recognized as a key driver for success of business ventures. Since small and medium-sized business ventures usually lack in business experience, firm level entrepreneurship seems to play an important role in generating firm performance. Following those logics, traditional approaches assumed that the relationship between entrepreneurial orientation and firm performance is linear, but recently studies start to report non-linear relationships. However, only a few researches examines and compares the performance effects of entrepreneurial orientation with diverse performance indicators. Current study explores the effects of entrepreneurial orientation both on financial and innovative performance with 1,497 Korean small and medium-sized business ventures. This study finds that there is a linear relationship between entrepreneurial orientation and financial performance, but inverted U-shaped relationships between entrepreneurial orientation and innovative performance, measured by product novelty and patent issued. Also those relationship patterns are consistent with different measurement of entrepreneurial orientation. Based on these results, theoretical implications with some limitations are discussed.
