Abstract

This study tested the hypothesis from the previous research issues and empirically investigated the determinants of cooperative strategy for technological innovation, using the multinomial logit model. The meaningful conclusions from this study are as follows. First, the characteristics of the company and product are not the significant determinants for cooperative strategy for technological innovation. Second, formal R&D organization characteristics are significant factors in determining the type of cooperative strategy for technological innovation. Third, the support of government is a significant determinant and if a company receives more government support, it is likely to accept public type cooperation. Fourth, the characteristics of industry are significant determinants and if a company belongs to a higher technology industry, it is likely to accept vertical type cooperation with private enterprises. This study analyzed the hypotheses raised in a variety of studies empirically. This paper presents the basis of various studies concerning technological cooperation strategies.

본 연구는 기술협력 전략에 대해 선행연구에서 제기하는 문제들을 가설로 설정하고 기술혁신조사 자료를 이용하여 다항로짓모형으로 기술협력 유형의 결정요인에 대해 실증적으로 검증하였다. 본 연구의 의미 있는 결론들을 정리하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 기업/제품 특성은 협력 유형을 결정하는 유의한 결정요인이 아닌 것으로 나타나고 있다. 둘째, 연구개발 조직 특성은 공식적인 R&D 조직 협력 유형을 결정하는 유의한 결정요인으로 나타난다. 셋째, 정부지원 특성은 매우 유의한 결정 요인으로 작용하며 더 많은 정부지원을 받을수록 공공형 협력을 채택할 가능성이 높다. 넷째, 기업이 속한 산업의 기술수준은 협력 유형을 결정하는 요인이며, 기술수준이 높을수록 수직형 협력 유형을 선호한다. 본 연구는 기술협력과 관련된 다양한 연구들에서 제기하고 있는 가설들을 실증분석하여 앞으로 기술협력 전략과 관련된 분야에서 다양한 연구의 기준을 제시할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.
