초록

최근 기술과 시장의 변화가 빨라지고 복잡해짐에 따라 기업경쟁력이 내부 역량뿐만 아니라 외부와의 다양한 형태의 기술협력을 통해 효율적으로 창출할 수 있다는 인식이 확산되고 있다. 기업의 기술협력 구조와 성과 결정요인으로 사회적 네트워크와 흡수역량이 중요하다고 지적되고 있지만 대부분의 선행 연구는 사회적 네트워크와 흡수역량을 개별적 요인으로 분석하였다. 본 연구는 기업의 사회적 네트워크와 흡수역량이 벤처기업의 기술협력 파트너 선정, 거버넌스 유형 선택, 성과에 미치는 영향력을분석하였다. 국내 215개 벤처기업의 설문조사 자료를 분석한 결과, 흡수역량은 과업관련 기준과 파트너관련 기준 모두에 영향을 주는 반면 사회적 네트워크는 파트너 관련 기준에 영행을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 흡 수역량과 사회적 네트워크는 기술협력 거번너스에 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 조사되었다. 흡수역량은 기술협력 성과에 영향을 주는 반면 사회적 네트워크는 기술협력 성과에 영향을 주지 않는 것으로 분석되었다.

This paper aims at exploring the comparative impact of social networks and firm's absorptive capacity on the process of technological alliance such as technological alliance partner selection, governance structure and performance. Firms not only need to develop internal absorptive capacity but also need to cooperate with outside innovating entities. Increasing networks with other firms and enhancing firm's internal absorptive capacity become more and more important to enter into new market, increase network effects and develop firm's core capacities. In the view of firm's motivation for technological alliance such as expanding social networks and enhancing absorptive capacity, we develop hypotheses and tested comparative impact of those two constructs using 215 survey data of Korean venture companies. The results showed that absorptive capacity showed more impacts on the technological partner selection criteria than social networks. No impact was found between social network and alliance performance. Only absorptive capacity showed positive impact on the technological alliance success. Both constructs showed no impact on the choice of governance structure. In the conclusion section, we discussed the findings and implications of this study and directions for future studies.
