Abstract

The importance of technology commercialization is being emphasized more and more, but high technology excellence does not always lead to a successful business. In addition, companies that invest heavily in basic research and technology development are also not always able to guarantee high profits. This is due to the technical problems when present in step research and development levels are difficult to commercialize. And the market will not work rationally is also the cause of the problem. Therefore, to effectively utilize the resources necessary to ensure such partners to build alliances and cooperation with external funding or manpower is crucial to commercialize the research results of basic science successfully. In previous studies, it has been made many studies in accordance with the approach to the technology (e.g. Research and Development, Management of Technology, Technology Innovation, etc.). But the study of technology commercialization point of view is not being done much. This study should explores the available business required, or realized in the process of researching the basic science and trying to understand the imperfections of the market through the property of technology (tacit knowledge, objectified value of technology and the information asymmetry between innovation subjects, etc.). In addition, this paper, we try to focus on a strategic approach to the role of International Science Business Belt (ISBB) with success in science and technology business as appropriate countermeasures about breaking the 'Valley of Death.

기술사업화에 대한 중요성은 점점 강조되고 있지만 높은 기술 우수성이 항상 성공적인 비즈니스로 이어지는 것은 아니다. 또한, 기초연구 및 기술개발에 많은 투자를 하는 기업 역시 항상 높은 이윤 창출을 장담할 수는 없다. 이는 연구개발 수준이 상용화되기 어려운 단계에 존재하는 경우인 기술적인 문제와 기술이 사업화되는 시장이 불완전하여 합리적으로 작동하지 않는 시장측면의 문제 모두가 원인이 된다. 따라서 기초과학의 연구 성과를 바탕으로 이러한 시장의 불완전성 아래 연구 및 사업화 주체가 새로운 기술의 개발과 사업화를 성공적으로 수행하기 위해서는 외부의 파트너들과 제휴 및 협력 체계를 구축하여 자금이나 인력 등 필요한 자원을 효과적으로 확보하여 활용할 수 있어야 한다. 기존 연구에서는 기술에 대한 접근방법에 따라 연구개발(R&D) 관점, 기술경영(Management of Technology) 관점, 기술혁신(Technology Innovation) 관점으로 많은 연구가 이루어졌으나, 기술사업화(Technology Commercialization) 관점의 연구는 많이 이루어 지지 않고 있다. 본 연구에서는 기초과학을 연구하는 과정에서 필요한, 또는 실현 가능한 비즈니스를 살펴보고, 기술의 속성(암묵지, 기술가치의 객관화, 혁신 주체 간 정보의 비대칭 등)을 통해 시장의 불완전성을 이해하고자 한다. 또한, 기술이 사업화로 연결되지 않는 현상, 즉 '죽음의 계곡(Valley of Death)'을 탈피하는 것에 대한 적절한 대응방안으로써 기술사업화 협력요인을 포함하고 있는 과학기술 비즈니스의 성공요인과 함께 과학벨트(ISBB)의 역할을 중심으로 전략적 접근을 시도하고자 한다.
