Abstract

The national government, as well as many regional governments, have supported the 'Ppuri industries', and the Daejeon region is in need of developing these sectors. Various research studies have examined the ppuri industries. However, there are limited studies concerning innovative activities and difficulties in the industries. Therefore, this paper focuses on firms' innovative activities and difficulties in the ppuri industries in the Daejeon region and provides policy implications. For this purpose, we surveyed firms supported by Daejeon Technopark's Ppuri industries programs, utilizing an innovation survey questionnaire developed by STEPI. We assumed that these firms have high intention for innovation among firms in the Daejeon's ppruri industries, and tried to identify characteristics and problems of innovative activities by comparing results with those of STEPI's Korean Innovation Survey. The results show that the overall pattern of innovative activities of Daejeon's ppuri industry firms do not differ from those found in the Korean Innovation Survey. However, there are a few notable differences. The rate of aborted innovation in the Daejoen's ppuri industries was higher than those found in the Korean Innovation Survey. Lack of financing was a major factor hampering innovation. These results provide policy implications that industrial and regional characteristics of ppuri industries must be reflected in the policy, and also policy measures for lowering the rate of aborted innovation.

최근 국가 차원에서는 물론 지방자치단체 차원에서도 뿌리산업 육성을 위한 노력이 진행되고 있으며, 대전지역 역시 이 분야를 육성할 필요성이 존재한다. 그간 뿌리산업에 대한 많은 연구가 진행되어 왔으나, 대전지역 뿌리산업의 혁신활동 및 실제 기업들의 애로사항 등에 대한 조사보고는 많지 않아 정책적 방안 마련에 어려움이 존재하였다. 이에 본 연구에서는 대전지역 뿌리산업 업체들의 혁신활동 동향 및 문제점을 파악하고, 정책적 시사점을 제시하고자 한다. 이를 위해 과학기술정책연구원의 한국기업혁신조사 설문지를 사용하여 대전테크노파크의 뿌리산업 관련 사업의 지원을 받은 적이 있는 기업들을 대상으로 설문을 실시하였다. 본 논문에서는 이 기업들을 대전지역 뿌리산업 업체들로서 혁신의도가 높은 기업들로 가정하였으며, 이들 기업들에 대한 혁신활동 조사 결과는 과학기술정책연구원의 2014년 한국기업혁신조사와 비교하여 대전지역 뿌리산업 업체들의 혁신의 특성 및 문제점을 도출해 보았다. 연구결과 대전 뿌리산업 업체들은 많은 설문항목에서 전산업과 비슷한 맥락을 가지고 있는 가운데, 뿌리산업으로서의 특징과 대전이라는 지역 특유의 특성을 모두 보여주는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 혁신 미완 비율이 높으며 혁신활동 저해요인으로 내부 자금부족이 높게 나타난다는 특징이 있었다. 이에 따라 본 연구에서는 산업적 특징이 반영된 정책, 동일 산업 내에서도 지역성이 반영된 정책, 혁신 미완율 제고를 위한 지원방안 마련 등 정책적 시사점을 제시하였다.
