중소기업의 산학연 연구개발(R&D) 협력과 기업 성과 분석 = An Analysis of Industry-University-Institute R&D Collaboration and Firm Performance on SMEs

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

From a point of knowledge based view, IUI(Industry-University-Institute)R&D collaboration is recognized as an important way to acquire lacking technology and knowledge. In this study, we investigated firm performance of IUI R&D collaboration on national R&D project. That is, we identified whether a collaborative research really affects firm performance, and whether firm performance is differed by types of collaboration.
To test our hypotheses, we selected 250 Korean SMEs(Small and Medium Enterprises)which were funded from government R&D for 2006-2009, and we verified relations between the ratio and/or types of R&D collaboration and firm performance. Firm performance was measured by number of patent applied and ROA(Return on Assets)after completion of the project (in year t+1).
Findings showed that the relationship between the ratio of R&D collaboration and technological performance was inverted U-shape. Among types of R&D collaboration,though inter-industry collaborative research was negatively related to technological performance, IUI collaborative research was positively related to technological performance.
However, the ratio and types of R&D collaboration had no relation to economic performance. The results of this study will contribute to the strategy of SMEs as well as the policy of a government with regard to IUI R&D collaboration.

지식기반관점(KBV)에서 산학연 연구개발(R&D) 협력은 기업의 부족한 기술및 지식을 획득하기 위해 매우 중요한 수단으로 인식되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 산학연 연구개발(R&D) 협력에 따른 기업 성과를 분석하였다. 이를 통해 협력 연구가 과연 기업 성과에실제로 영향을 미치는지, 그리고 협력 유형에 따라 기업 성과에 차이가 있는지를 확인하였다.
본 연구는 2006년부터 2009년까지 국가연구개발사업을 수행한 250개 중소기업을 대상으로 연구개발(R&D) 협력 비율 및 유형과 기업 성과와의 관계를 검증하였다. 또한 기업 성과는 특허 출원 건수로 측정한 기술적 성과와 총자산수익률(ROA)로 측정한 경제적 성과로 구분하였다.
분석 결과, 연구개발(R&D) 협력 비율과 기술적 성과는 역U자형(inverted U-shape) 관계가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 연구개발(R&D) 협력 유형 중에서 산산 협력 연구는 기술적 성과에 부정적인 영향을 미치는 반면, 산학연 협력 연구는 기술적 성과에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 하지만 경제적 성과의 경우에는 연구개발(R&D) 협력 비율 및유형과 큰 관련이 없는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 결과는 중소기업의 산학연 연구개발(R&D) 협력과 관련된 정부의 정책이나 기업의 전략을 수립하는데 큰 시사점을 제시할 것으로 판단된다.
