초록

본 연구는 매출액 대비 R&D 투자 지출이 5%이상인 R&D집중 중소 중견기업을 대상으로 기업역량과 수출성과간의 관계를 실증적으로 검증하였다. 더불어 기업의 성장이라는 관점에서 중소기업과 중견기업의 역량차이를 비교 분석하였다. 기업역량으로는 선행연구를 토대로 신제품 개발역량, 해외시장정보역량, SNS 및 커뮤니케이션 역량, 브랜드 역량, 마케팅 역량 등 5개 역량을 분석대상으로 하였다. 분석결과, 중소기업과 중견기업간에는 5개 역량 중 해외시장정보역량과 브랜드 역량에서 유의미한 차이가 있었다. 2개 역량 공히 중견기업이 중소기업보다 높았다. 또한 역량과 수출성과간의 관계에 있어서는 5개의 역량중 해외시장정보역량, SNS 및 커뮤니케이션 역량, 브랜드 역량이 수출성과에 유의한 정적인 영향을 미치는 변인으로 확인되었다. 즉, 이 세가지 역량이 클수록 수출성과가 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 결론적으로 R&D집중 중소. 중견기업이 수출성과를 확대하기 위해선 해외시장정보역량, SNS 및 커뮤니케이션 역량, 브랜드 역량을 우선적 강화하여야 한다는 시사점을 얻었다. 특히, 일반적인 마케팅 역량은 수출성과에 유의한 영향이 확인되지 않은 반면 SNS 및 커뮤니케이션 역량은 정(+)의 영향이 미치는 것으로 검증되었다. 이는 R&D 집중기업이 수출성과를 늘리기 위해서는 기존의 마케팅 방법과 함께 혁신적인 마케팅 방법도 활용하여야 한다는 의미로 해석될 수 있다. 또한, 기업의 성장관점에서 R&D 집중 중소기업이 중견기업의 역량을 갖추기 위해서는 해외시장 정보역량과 자가 브랜드 역량을 보완하여야 하는 것으로 나타났다.

This study was carried out for two purposes. One is to analyse the relationship between export performance and the five capabilities of R&D intensive firms (new product development, overseas market information, SNS and communications, brand and marketing). The second purpose is to verify the difference in those capabilities between R&D intensive small companies and mid-sized companies. Based on the OECD's classification of "technology intensity", R&D intensive firms are defined as the firms which are investing more than 5% of their annual sales in R&D activities. This study reveals the significant and positive relationships between the export performance and three capabilities( overseas market information, SNS and communication, brand) except for new product development capabilities and marketing capabilities. Those capabilities increase export performance. On the other hand, this study finds a significant difference in overseas market information capabilities and brand competence between R & D-intensive SMEs and mid sized companies. It is shown that those two capabilities in the mid sized firms are stronger than in the SMEs. These findings have important implications for the growth of R&D intensive SMEs in the global market. First, for higher export performance of R&D intensive firms, three capabilities such as overseas market information, SNS-communication and brand should be strengtened. In particular, SNS-communication capabilities as innovative marketing competences should be developed together with traditional marketing capabilities. Second, the growth of SMEs into Mid-sized firms needs the development of brand competences and overseas market information capabilities.
