초록

본 연구는 국내에 진출해 있는 다국적기업 자회사 경영자들을 대상으로 수집한 설문자료를 이용하여 다국적기업 자회사의 지식 역전달 활동에 영향을 미치는 결정 요인 분석에 그 목적을 두고 있다. 최근 다국적기업 내에서 자회사 역할의 중요성이 확대되고 있으며, 이러한 현상의 배경으로 자회사 지식 역전달 활동을 제시할 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 자회사의 지식 역전달에 영향을 미치는 요인을 자회사의 독자적인 지식창출, 다국적기업 내 자회사의 영향력, 및 사회적자본의 3가지로 정리하고, 각 요인이 지식 역전달 활동에 미치는 효과를 통계적으로 검증하였다. 그 결과 자회사의 지식창출 및 영향력은 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 확인되었으며, 사회적자본은 그 효과가 검증되지 않았다. 이 결과를 통해 본 연구는 다국적기업의 글로벌 경쟁력 확보 차원에서 자회사의 지식 역전달 활동을 촉진하기 위한 시사점을 제시하고 있다.

Abstract

This research purposes to analyze the determinants of subsidiary reverse knowledge transfer by using the cases of foreign subsidiaries in Korea. The strategic role of subsidiary in MNC is very important in these days. I suppose that this phenomenon is caused by subsidiary reverse knowledge transfer. In this paper, I suggested three factors as determinants of on subsidiary reverse knowledge transfer, ① subsidiary knowledge creation, ② the strength of subsidiary in a MNC network, ③ subsidiary's social capital, and estimated the effect of three factors on subsidiary reverse knowledge transfer. My findings indicate that subsidiary knowledge creation and the strength of subsidiary in a MNC network can positively influence on subsidiary reverse knowledge transfer. However, I found no support for the effect of subsidiary's social capital on that. I discuss the implication of my analysis for motivating subsidiary reverse knowledge transfer in the context of MNC global competitiveness.
