초록

본 연구에서는 기업의 혁신성과에 협력너비, 협력깊이, 인지적 거리가 어떤 영향을 미치고 있는지 알아보기 위하여 한국기업혁신조사(Korean Innovation Survey: KIS) 자료를 분석하였다. 협력너비는 혁신을 위하여 기업이 외부와 협력할 때의 협력 파트너의 유형 수를 말하며, 협력깊이는 협력파트너를 얼마나 중요하게 인식하고 협력활동을 했는지를 나타낸다. 인지적 거리는 협력 파트너가 사업분야, 경제적 이익 추구, 인센티브 시스템에서 중심기업과 얼마나 유사한지를 나타낸다. 분석결과, 급진적 혁신성과는 협력너비 및 인지적 거리와 역U자 형태의 관련이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 점진적 혁신성과는 협력너비 및 협력깊이와 역U자 형태의 관련이 있는 것으로 나타났으며 특히 협력깊이와 강력한 관계를 보였다. 기업이 외부와 협력을 할 때 점진적 혁신은 급진적 혁신보다 더 좁은 범위의 파트너 유형이 필요한 것으로 분석되었다. 본 연구는 다음과 같은 시사점을 준다. 기업의 목표가 급진적 혁신인 경우, 인지적으로 너무 멀지 않은 파트너와 협력하되 파트너 유형의 수는 너무 많지 않은 것이 좋다. 기업의 목표가 점진적 혁신이라면, 활용과 개선이 주된 목적으로서 한 분야의 깊이 있는 지식이 필요하므로 소수의 협력 파트너와 신뢰 관계를 바탕으로 한 지속적이고 깊이 있는 협력이 필요하다.

Abstract

In this study, we analyzed data from the Korean Innovation Survey(KIS) to determine how collaboration breadth, collaboration depth and cognitive distance affect a firm's innovation performance. Collaboration breadth means the number of types of collaboration partners when a firm collaborates with external partners for innovation. Collaboration depth means how important the firm recognizes its collaboration partners in collaborative activities. Cognitive distance means how similar the collaboration partners are to the focal firms in terms of business field, pursuit of economic benefits, and incentive system. As a result of the study, we found that radical innovation performance was related to the collaboration breadth and cognitive distance in an inverted U-shape. Incremental innovation performance was found to have an inverted U-shaped relationship with collaboration breadth and collaboration depth, and showed a particularly strong relationship with collaboration depth. And when the firms collaborate with external partners, incremental innovation requires a narrower range of partner types than radical innovation. This study gives the following implications. First, if a firm's goal is radical innovation, it is better to collaborate with partners who are not too cognitively distant, but without too many partner types. Second, if the firm's goal is incremental innovation, the main purpose is utilization and improvement, and in-depth knowledge in a field is required, so continuous and in-depth collaboration based on trust relationships with a small number of types of collaboration partners is necessary.
