초록

본 연구는 국내 제약 산업을 대상으로 실패경험이 기업의 혁신활동에 미치는 영향을 연구개발, 지식탐색 측면에서 탐구하였다. 기존 연구들은 실패의 원인을 규명하거나, 감소요건에 대한 고찰위주로 연구하였으나, 실패가 기업의 혁신활동에 미치는영향을 분석한 연구는 드물다. 본 연구는 국내 제약 산업을 대상으로 10년간의 연구기간을 설정하여 실패가 혁신활동에 미치는 영향과 이러한 혁신활동이 급진적 혁신에 미치는 영향을 종단 분석하였다. 연구결과를 요약하자면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 기업의 실패경험은 탐험적 혁신활동을 촉진시키며, 이는 재무적 여유자본의 크기에 따라 차이를 보이는것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 기업의 실패경험은 지식탐색 측면에서 유의하지 않은 것으로나타났다. 셋째, 기업의 탐험적 혁신활동과 지식탐색범위의 상호작용은 급진적 혁신성과와 정(+)의 관계를 가지는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 실패를 부정적 견해로 바라보던기존의 연구와는 다르게 학습과 혁신에 긍정적인 영향을 검증하여 경험적 증거를 제시하였다는 점에서 의미가 있으며, 이러한 연구결과를 기반으로 향후 연구의 발전방향을제시하였다.

Abstract

This study explored the influence of failure experience of Korean pharmaceutical industries on the innovative activities of corporations from the perspectives of R&D and knowledge search. Previous studies have defined the cause of the failure or studied the reasons for the decline. However, studies analyzing the influence of failure on the innovative activities of corporations are rare. This study set a research period of 10 years for the Korean pharmaceutical industry to conduct a longitudinal analysis of the influence of the influence of failure on innovation activities and the influence of innovation activities on radical innovation. A summary of the research results is as follows. Firstly, failure of corporations induce exploratory innovation activities, and the extent differs greatly from the size of financial slack resource. Secondly, experiences of corporations’ failure were not significant from the perspective of knowledge search. Thirdly, the interaction between the corporation’s exploratory innovation activities and knowledge search had a positive (+) relationship with radical innovation performance. This study is significant in that it suggested empirical evidence by verifying the positive influence of failure to learning and innovation unlike previous researches viewing failure negatively, and suggested the direction of future studies based on these research results.
