Abstract

This study assesses the structure relationships between resource, product and process innovation capability, technology commercialization competence and performance of firms in Daedeok Innopolis. In particular, this study attempts to analyze technology commercialization competence that may be influenced by product and process capabilities. The development of the research model is based on the literature of resource-based view and the empirical studies of technology commercialization competence. The survey of 109 firms was conducted from January 5, 2015 through February 4, 2015. We investigate the role of a firm's technology commercialization competence in determining its performance by performing Partial Least Squares analysis. The results indicate that a firm's human resources and intangible resources lead to a higher level of its product and process innovation capabilities. This study, however, finds that a firm's tangible resources do not have significant effects on its product and process innovation capabilities. And the study finds evidence that firm's product and process capabilities have positive effects on its technology commercialization competence. The study also finds that a firm's technology commercialization competence is a driving force behind its performance, showing that its technology commercialization competence positively involves its performance. In addition the study finds that technology commercialization competence mediates the relationship between a firm's innovation capability and performance, indicating that the technology commercialization used as mediating variable positively affects its innovation performance.

본 연구는 기업의 보유 자원과 성과간의 관계에서 제품 및 공정혁신능력과 기술사업화역량의 역할을 분석하는데 목적을 두고 있다. 본 연구는 이를 위해 자원준거관점과 혁신 및 기술사업화 관련 실증연구에 기초하여 연구모형을 설정하고, 설문조사를 통해 수집된 대덕연구개발특구내 109개 기업 자료를 활용하여 검정하였다. PLS-SEM을 활용한 실증분석에서 기업의 인적 자원과 무형 자원은 제품혁신능력과 공정혁신능력에 유의적인 정의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으나 기업의 유형자원은 제품혁신능력과 공정혁신능력에 유의적인 영향을 미치지 못하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 기업의 제품혁신능력과 공정혁신능력은 기술사업화역량에 유의적인 정의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으나 기업성과에는 직접적으로 유의적인 영향을 미치지 못하는 것으로 나타났고, 기업의 기술사업화역량은 기업성과에 유의적인 정의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 혁신능력을 제품혁신능력과 공정혁신능력으로 구분하고, 이러한 혁신능력이 기술사업화역량에 미치는 영향을 분석했다는 점에서 차별화된 연구이다.
