Abstract

Technology transferors and technology transferees decide to transfer technology with various motivations as they share benefits and risks. On top of economic benefit factors and risk factors provided by technology transferees, technology transferors also make technology transfer decisions by taking into account various factors such as government policies and systems, as well as their management strategies. In this study, the factors influencing the technology transfer in the chemical industry and the influence on the technology transfer intention are analysed. As a result of this study, factors influencing technology transfer are economic benefit factor, technological factor, risk factor, and socio-cultural factor. A significant differences in the influencing factors between the technology transferors and the technology transferees are that the economic benefit factors are more considered by the technology transferees and the technological factors are more considered by technology transferors in technology transfer. Technology transferees shows the stronger intention to enter technology transfer than the technology transferors.

기술이전은 기술공급사와 기술도입사간의 위험과 이익을 공유함에 따라 다양한 동기를 가지고 기술이전을 결정하게 된다. 기술공급사는 기술도입사가 제공하는 경제적 요인, 위험요인, 정부의 정책 및 제도와 해당 기술이전기업들의 경영전략 등 여러 결정요인을 복합적으로 고려하여 기술이전 결정을 하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 화학산업에서 기술이전에 영향을 미치는 요인을 파악하고 기술이전 의도에 미치는 영향력을 분석하였다. 본 연구결과 기술이전 영향요인은 경제적 혜택 요인, 기술적 요인, 위험요인, 사회문화적 요인으로 나타났다. 기술도입사와 기술공급사의 기술이전 영향요인의 유의미한 차이는 경제적 혜택 요인은 기술공급사보다 기술도입사가 중요하게 고려하는 것으로 나타났으며, 기술적 요인은 기술공급사가 기술도입사보다 중요하게 고려하는 것으로 나타났다. 기술이전 의지는 기술도입사가 기술공급사보다 높게 나타났다.
