초록

1990년대 이래 신경 제라는 제목 하에 다양한 경제 사회적 현상들이 관찰되고 논의되어왔다. 문헌에 기록된 대부분의 신경제 현상들은 단편적 일화적으로 묘사되고 있어 신경제의 본질에 대한 논리적이고 체계적인 설명이 부족하다. 본 연구는 시스템 관점에서 신경제 현상의 특성을 분석하였다. 구체적으로 신경제를 하나의 시스템 현상으로 놓고 아래 5가지 시스템적 속성에 대한 답을 구하였다. 1) 신경제 시스템의 구성요소는 무엇이며 그것들은 어떻게 상호 연관되어 있는가? 2) 신경제 시스템은 기능적으로 어떻게 작동하는가? 3) 신경제 시스템에서 생산되는 재화와 서비스는 무엇인가? 4) 신경제가 시스템으로서 가지는 가치는 무엇인가? 5) 신경제 시스템의 총체적 체계적 특성은 무엇인가? 본 연구는 상기 각 시스템 측면에서 신경제가 가지는 핵심 속성을 도출하고, 이를 종합하여 시스템 관점에서의 신경제 이해를 도모하고 있다. 아울러 신경제의 시스템적 특성이 기업의 전략에 시사하는 바가 무엇인지를 논의하고 앞으로의 연구과제들을 제시하고 있다.

Under the rubric of the new economy, a wide variety of economic and social phenomena have been identified and discussed since the 1990's. Most of the observations in the literature on the new economy are fragmented, casual, and anecdotal, not compiling to a whole picture of what the new economy is really about. Therefore, this study attempts to provide e-commerce companies with a better, more systematic understanding of the new economy and new economy phenomena as well as the implications of them in order to help them develop more effective business strategies. To provide a better understanding of the new economy phenomena, this article adopts system perspective as an overarching frame of reference for analysis. The systemic characteristics and behavior of the new economy is sought in five generic aspects of a system; 1) what are the entities that comprise the system, and how are they related to one another?; 2) how does the system function?; 3) what are the goods and services (output) that are generated and flow in the system?; 4) what is the value of those goods and services?; and 5) what are the collective, systemic quality and attributes of the system? Based upon the review and categorization, some essential characterizations are made for the five system aspects of the new economy. Such characterizations are interpreted as collectively enunciating the systemic characteristics and behavior of the new economy. The implications of the systemic under-standing of the new economy for business and firm strategy are discussed and some future research is suggested.
