초록

본 연구는 R&D시스템의 효율성을 체계적으로 평가하려는 목적을 가지고 있다. 구체적으로는 R&D투입(R&D투자, R&D인적자원관리), 과정(R&D계획, 외부네트워크 및 내부협력) 및 산출(기술혁신) 간의 관계를 실증적으로 규명하는 것이다. 대구경북지역 154개 IT 중소기업들을 대상으로 조사한 설문자료의 분석결과 IT중소기업의 R&D 인적자원관리는 R&D계획에 긍정적으로 유의한 영향을 미쳤다. R&D계획은 외부네트워크, 내부협력, 그리고 기술혁신에 긍정적으로 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 내부협력 역시 기술혁신에 긍정적으로 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 R&D투자가 R&D계획에 미치는 영향과 외부네트워크가 기술혁신에 미치는 영향은 유의하지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 이와 같은 연구결과는 IT 중소기업들에 있어서 R&D 인적자원이 매우 중요함을 제시하고 있다. 나아가 내부적인 협력이 타부서의 특유의 자원에 접근하게 하고, 새로운 자원을 개발하는데 소요되는 비용을 공유하게 함으로써 R&D 투입을 기술혁신에 효과적으로 연결시키는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 IT 중소기업의 경우 R&D 투자는 R&D 계획에 유의한 영향요인이 아니며, 외부네트워크도 내부협력에 비해 혁신과정에서 덜 중요함을 암시하고 있다. 그 이유는 IT 중소기업의 경우 R&D 활동이 비공식적으로 이루어지는 경우가 많으며, 혁신성공에 있어서 외부요인보다는 내부요인이 더 중요하다는 것을 상기시키는 것으로 볼 수 있다.

Abstract

This study aims at investigating the effectiveness of SME's R&D system empirically. Specifically, this study analyze the relationships among R&D inputs(R&D investment, R&D human resource management), process(R&D planning, external network, internal cooperation), and output(technological innovation). A questionnaire was developed to measure the above variables. To test these relations, data were collected from the small and medium-sized IT firms located in Daegu-Kyungbuk region. The survey data of 154 firms were integrated as the empirical base for testing the relations. Most respondents were from the managers. Structural equation modeling analyses were used to examine the relations. Major results are as follows: Firstly, R&D HRM was positively and significantly influenced on the R&D planning. Secondly, R&D planning was positively and significantly affected on the external network, internal cooperation, and technological innovation. Thirdly, the both relations between R&D investment and R&D planning, and external network and technological innovation were not significant statistically. These results suggest the following implications. First, R&D human resource management is very important for IT SMEs. Secondly, internal cooperation mediates R&D inputs and technological innovation by approaching the other department's unique resources and by sharing the cost of new resource development. Several future researches need to overcome the limitations of this research. First, this study's sample was based on the small and medium-sized IT firms just located in Daegu-Kyungbuk region. This limitation may imply that empirical results can not represent overall small and medium-sized firm's situations. Therefore, future research needs to include different samples. Secondly, this study depends on the latitudinal study.
