Abstract

The purposes of this paper is to identify CSFs for technology commercialization in IT industry, and to empirically investigate the impact of CSFs on the success of technology commercialization. Comprehensive literature study identifies eleven factors affecting the process and results of technology transfer and the research results show that 'Incentives for Commercialization,' 'Leadership Support,' 'Government Support,' 'Cooperation among Parties,' and 'Understanding of Business' are the most influential factors. Regression analyses show that CSFs in total have very significant explanatory power in the success of technology commercialization. 'Incentives for Commercialization,' 'Cooperation among Parties, 'Demand-Pull Technology', and 'Commercialization Experience' are statistically significant in explaining the success of commercialization. Successful commercialization projects show higher explanatory power (46.80%) than failure projects (38.50%).

본 논문은 IT업계에서 기술 상용화에 영향을 미치는 주요 요인을 파악하고, 기술 상용화 주요요인이 상용화의 성공에 미치는 영향력을 검증하는데 있다. IT 기술 상용화 프로젝트 관리자들은 기술의 상용화에 가장 영향을 미치는 요인으로 '기술 상용화 장려책'을 꼽았고, 뒤이어 '경영층 지원,' '정부 지원,' '관계자간의 협력,' '경영에 대한 이해' 순으로 평가하였다. 회귀분석 결과 기술 상용화에 영향을 미치는 11개 주요 요인은 종합적으로 기술 상용화의 성공에 대한 설명력이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 특히 '기술 상용화 장려책,' '관련자간의 협력,' '수요자 요청 기술'은 유의수준 1%에서 '기술 상용화 경험'은 유의수준 10%에서 통계적으로 유의하여 기술 상용화의 성공에 가장 많은 기여를 하는 것으로 판명되었다. 성공한 상용화 프로젝트의 경우 주요 요인의 기술 상용화의 성공에 대한 설명력(46.80%)이 실패한 프로젝트의 설명력(38.50%)에 비해 높은 것으로 나타났다.
