초록

본 연구는 한국형 히든챔피언의 기업가정신이 SWOT경쟁(대응)능력에 영향을 미치고, 이는 성과에 유의한 영향을 줄 수 있다는 것을 검증하였다. 이러한 연구의 목적을 달성하기 위하여 기업가정신은 기존연구자들(Khandwalla, 1977; Miller, 1983; Miller & Friesen, 1983)에 의해서 주장해 왔던 위험감수성, 진취성, 혁신성의 차원을 포함하는 변수들을 이용하였으며, SWOT요인의 경쟁(대응)능력, 성과간의 관계분석을 위하여 구조방정식모형을 이용하였다. 본 연구의 가설 검정 결과는 다음과 같이 요약될 수 있다. 첫째, 가설(HI)은 히든챔피언의 기업가정신(진취성, 위험감수성, 혁신성)이 SWOT요인의 경쟁(대응)능력에 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 즉, 히든챔피언의 기업가정신이 강할수록 더 높은 SWOT요인의 경쟁(대응)능력을 기대할 수 있다고 볼 수 있다. 특히 기업가정신의 구성요소 중에서 혁신성은 다른 요인에 비해서 큰 비중을 차지하고 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 둘째, 가설(HII)은 SWOT요인의 경쟁(대응)능력은 성과에 정(+)과 부(-)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 즉, 강점과 기회요인은 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 반면에 약점과 위험요인은 부정적인 영향을 미치고 있으며 강점과 기회요인이 약점과 위험요인에 비해 상대적으로 크게 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구 결과는 히든챔피언의 경쟁우위전략을 제시하기 위한 기초적인 자료로 이용할 수 있을 것으로 판단되며, 이러한 결과를 적용하여 앞으로 히든챔피언의 육성 및 정책을 마련하기 위한 참고자료가 될 것으로 기대한다.
