초록

본 연구는 최고경영진 이론과 행동적 기업이론의 성과피드백 관점을 바탕으로 최고경영진(TMT)의 국제경영 경험이 기업의 국제화수준에 미치는 영향을 목표대비 성과수준의 조절효과를 중심으로 실증 분석한다. 1999년부터 2006년까지 8년간 최소 한 국가 이상에 해외직접투자를 수행한 449개 한국기업을 대상으로 실증분석을 실시한 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, TMT의 국제경영 경험은 기업의 국제화에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 선행연구들이 강조하는 바와 같이 TMT의 국제경영 경험이 해외시장의 잠재적 기회를 인지하고 활용할 수 있게 하며, 기업의 국제화 전략 수행에 있어 불확실성을 제거함으로써 기업의 국제화수준을 높일 수 있다는 것을 시사한다. 둘째, 목표대비 성과의 조절효과를 검증한 결과 목표대비 높은 성과는 TMT의 국제경영 경험과 기업의 국제화 간 긍정적인 관계를 강화하는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 목표대비 높은 성과가 기업으로 하여금 여유로운 탐색을 수행하도록 유도하며, 보다 실험적인 시도나 혁신의 가능성을 높이고 기업의 국제화 과정에서 직면할 수 있는 위험과 불확실성을 경감시킴으로써 TMT의 국제경영 경험이 국제화수준에 미치는 긍정적인 영향이 목표대비 높은 성과에 의해 더욱 강화된다는 것을 의미한다. 본 연구는 최고경영진 이론과 행동적 기업이론의 성과피드백 관점을 중심으로 기업의 국제화 의사결정을 설명하였다는 점에서 의미 있는 이론적 시사점을 제시할 수 있을 것이다.

Abstract

This study empirically analyzes the effect of top management's (TMT) international management experience on firms’ internationalization level based on organizational learning theory, behavioral theory of the firm, and agency theory. This study also focuses on moderating roles of firms’ performance relative to their aspiration level on these relations. Using 449 Korean firms that engage in foreign direct investment from 1999 to 2006, the results showed that TMT's international management experience has a positive effect on firm’s internationalization. This result suggest that TMT's experience in overseas management enables firms to recognize and utilize the potential opportunities in overseas markets and to improve the level of internationalization of firms by eliminating uncertainties in the implementation of the internationalization strategies. In addition, the effects of TMT's overseas management experience on firm's interna- tionalization were moderated by firms' performance relative to their aspiration level. Specifically, positive performance strengthens the positive effect of TMT's overseas management experience on firms' internationalization. These results implies that TMT's overseas management experience can be enhanced by encouraging firms to perform slack search, enhancing the possibility of more experimental attempts and innovations, and alleviating the risk and uncertainty that can be faced in the internationalization process of firms. It means that the positive impact on the level of internationalization is further reinforced by higher performance relative to their performance level. This study can provide meaningful theoretical implications in the point of explaining firms internationalization decision making.
