초록

기업 국제화는 기업성장에 필수불가결한 전략이지만 생존을 위협하는 위험이 동반되는 과제로 기업 국제화와 경영성과 간의 관계를 살펴보는 연구는 방대하게 진행되어 왔으나 최근 이를 결정짓는 요인으로서 기업경영의 최종 의사결정권자인 최고경영진의 역할에 주목하고 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 최고경영자 이론을 바탕으로 동일한 국제 화 수준을 가진 기업 간 경영성과 차이의 원인을 최고경영진의 특성과 국제화 배경으로 간주하여 실증분석을 실 시하였다. 이를 위해 최고경영진의 평균 나이, 근속, 교육수준과 국제화 배경비율 등을 조절변수로 활용하여 기업 국제화와 경영성과 간에 조절효과를 살펴보았다. 분석을 위해 2013~2019년까지 7개년 간 KOSPI 시장에 상장 된 자동차산업 및 전자산업에 속한 제조기업 89개를 대상으로 패널데이터를 구성하여 FGLS분석과 단순기울기 분석을 실시하였고 그 결과 다음과 같다. 최고경영진의 (a) 평균 나이가 어릴수록, (b) 평균 근속기간이 길수록, (c) 평균 교육수준이 높을수록, (d) 국제화 관련 전공의 이수자와 (e) 국제화 배경 소유자가 많을수록 기업 국제 화와 경영성과 간의 유의한 정(+)의 조절 효과를 가지는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 단순히 최고경영진의 특성과 배경을 기업 국제화의 동인으로만 한정시킨 기존 연구의 한계를 해소하면서 유사한 국제화 수준을 가진 기업 간 경영성과 차이의 원인을 파악할 때 반드시 최고경영진의 성향과 역량도 함께 고려해야 한다는 것을 의미 한다. 또한 실무적으로 기업 해외진출 시 경영성과를 향상하기 위해 요구되는 최고경영진의 경력 등을 가늠할 수 있어 이사회에서 최고경영진 선정기준 수립에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 예상한다.

Abstract

This paper aims to examine the impact of top management team(TMT)’s demographic characteristics and international background on the internationalization-performance relationship of firms. Based on the upper echelons theory, we consider that TMTs play an important role in the internationalization process of firms in that they have an influential decision-making power on key issues in business. Furthermore, we assume that specific demographic characteristics or international background of TMTs make them select internationalization among business strategies, and it results in different levels of performance attained based on their information processing capacities and international experience. For the empirical analysis, panel data was composed of 89 manufacturers in the automobile industry and electronics industry listed on the KOSPI for seven years from 2013 to 2019, and the statistical result was summarized as follows. (a) The younger the average age, (b) the longer the average tenure, (c) the higher the average education level of TMTs, the more significant positive moderating effect on the relations between firm internationalization-performance. Moreover, (d) the higher ratio of TMTs majoring in internationalization and (e) the higher ratio of TMT’s internationalization have positive moderating effects significantly as well. However, the ratio of TMT's educated or working abroad have no significant moderating effect contrary to expectations.
