Abstract

This study intends to find efficient support methods for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) especially in the increasingly important mobile sector. We investigated regarding perceptions of mobile sector-specific support programs and their current state of usage, and perceptions of the new mobile market and the present conditions of each stage of production based on analysis of a survey that included 204 respondents in each SMB to achieve this goal. Concretely, detections through this research were the reasons for non-selection of support businesses, the future prospective mobile business area, the company's own first-preference item and the reason for the preference, plus new mobile areas of willingness to apply the company's own product and its own first-preference item, and the reason for the preference. In addition, we found out covering costs and revenue size of the maximum-revenue product for each stage (from the first to the fourth stage), the kind of a product's execution method connected to the product (e.g. self-production, outsourcing to another company to produce a product), and the execution method for pre-products. We can suggest a policy regarding efficient support alternatives for SMBs related to the mobile sector thanks to these findings.

본 논문에서는 점점 중요해지는 모바일 분야의 중소기업을 효율적으로 지원하기 위한 방안을 연구하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 국내외 문헌 연구를 바탕으로 연구문제를 설정하였다. 204명의 설문 응답자를 통해 모바일 분야 특정 사업의 사업인지와 이용현황, 모바일 신 시장에 대한 인식, 제품화를 위한 단계별 현황을 파악할 수 있었다. 지원 사업에 선정되지 못한 이유, 미래 모바일 유망 사업 분야와 자사의 1순위 사항 및 그 사유, 자사 제품에 적용하고자 하는 분야와 자사 1순위 사항 및 그 사유를 구체적으로 파악할 수 있었다. 또한 제품화 단계(1~4단계) 별 소요 비용과 최대 매출 제품의 매출액 규모, 이러한 제품의 제품화를 위한 수행방법(자체 제작, 외부 위탁 등), 시 제품화를 위한 수행방법을 파악할 수 있었다. 응답자들이 미래 모바일 신시장의 진출에 있어 정보와 데이터의 구성과 응용 분야에 관심을 갖고 있으며, 그 중에서도 상대적으로 초기 비용 등에 있어 진입 장벽이 상대적으로 낮은 분야에 주력하려는 것으로 보였다. 또한 R&D 이후 사업화를 지원하거나 관리하는 방안이 좀 더 필요하다는 신호를 파악할 수 있었다. 최대 매출 제품의 제품화 수행방법과 시 제품화 수행방법에서는 당초 예상과는 달리 자체 제작의 비중이 높음을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 발견 사항을 통해 모바일 분야 중소기업의 효율적 지원 방안에 대한 정책적 시사점을 얻을 수 있었다.
