중소 제조기업의 디지털 전환과 주요 요인에 관한 연구: 경기지역을 중심으로

Abstract

This study aims to identify perceptions related to digital transformation targeting small and medium-sized manufacturing companies in Gyeonggi-do, and to provide basic data necessary for establishing businesses and policies related to digital transformation. As we enter the era of the 4th industrial revolution, major developed countries are promoting smart manufacturing innovation through digital transformation as a priority task early on to secure a competitive edge in the manufacturing industry. In response, the Korean government is also promoting a policy to enhance the competitiveness of small and medium-sized manufacturing companies by promoting digital transformation in the corporate sector to meet the global trend of the 4th industrial revolution era. As a result of conducting a survey on the status of digital transformation of small and medium-sized manufacturing companies in the Gyeonggi region to understand the performance of these policies and the status of digital transformation of small and medium-sized manufacturers, most small and medium-sized companies are interested in digital manufacturing innovation, such as digital transformation and smart factory On the other hand, lack of information on government policies has led to a lack of awareness in the digital transformation. Therefore, it can be said that from the standpoint of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), who are consumers of smart factories, it can be said that the digital transformation policy can achieve the expected results only when appropriate incentives are provided for the introduction of smart factories in a situation where management resources such as funds, technology, and human resources are lacking. In addition, these results are judged to be due to the uncertainty of the performance of digital investment, and the incentive for small and medium-sized manufacturing companies to voluntarily invest in or advance digital transformation is very small as long as large and small businesses are maintained as an ecosystem of supply and subcontracting. Therefore, future digital transformation policies of small and medium-sized manufacturers need to find ways to attract SMEs' digital-related voluntary investment.
