초록

기업은 변화하는 환경의 적응뿐만 아니라 지속적인 경쟁우위를 획득하기 위해서 끊임없는 혁신을추구한다. 혁신을 위해서 기업은 더 이상 조직 내부의 지식에만 의존할 수 없으며, 외부 지식영역을효과적으로 탐색하기 위한 혁신 전략의 중요성이 점차 커지고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 혁신 탐색전략으로 외부 탐색의 범위와 외부 협력의 범위가 혁신성과에 미치는 영향을 분석하고, 탐색 및 협력과정에서 기업의 자원과 역량에 따라 그 효과가 달라질 수 있다는 점을 고려하여 조직 혁신과 ICT 혁신의 도입의 조절효과에 대해 살펴보았다. 이를 검증하기 위해, 과학기술정책연구원(STEPI)에서제공하고 있는 한국기업혁신조사(KIS)로부터 제조업 분야의 2,190개 기업 데이터를 활용하여 분석을진행했다. 실증분석 결과, 외부 탐색 범위와 외부 협력 범위는 혁신성과와 역-U자형 관계가 있는 것으로나타났다. 아울러 조직 혁신과 ICT 혁신은 이러한 관계에 양(+)의 조절효과를 가지는 것으로 분석되었다. 이러한 연구 결과는 기업이 외부 영역을 탐색할 때 기업 내부의 자원과 역량을 인식하여 적절한 탐색및 협력 범위를 설정하는 것이 중요하며, 외부 지식을 효율적이고 효과적으로 학습 및 관리하기 위해서새로운 경영 관행과 ICT 기술 및 시스템을 도입할 필요성이 있다는 것을 시사한다.

Abstract

In recent years, rapid changes in the environment are increasing the uncertainty of the business environment. In response, it is important for firms to generate innovation not only to adapt to the changing environment but also to gain a sustainable competitive advantage. To innovate, firms can no longer rely solely on internal knowledge, and accordingly, the importance of strategies to effectively explore external sources is increasing. Therefore, in this study, the effects of the breadth of external search and collaboration on innovation performance were analyzed, and the moderating effects of the adoption of organizational innovation and ICT innovation was analyzed in consideration of the fact that the effect may vary depending on the resources and capabilities of the firm in the external search and collaboration process. In this study, an empirical analysis was conducted using data from 2,190 firms in the manufacturing sector from the Korean Innovation Survey (KIS) provided by Science and Technology Policy Institute (STEPI). As a result of the analysis, it was found that the breadth of external search and collaboration had an inverse U-shaped relationship with innovation performance. In addition, as a result of analyzing the moderating effect of organizational innovation and ICT innovation, it was analyzed that the inverse U-shaped curve was raised. These findings suggest that there is a need to adopt new practices and systems of management and technologies and systems of ICT in order to efficiently and effectively search and absorb knowledge when firms search for external knowledge extensively.
