Abstract

This study aims to investigate the effects of venture & inno-biz companies' technological innovation competences on technological performances and economic competitive advantage, using VRIO framework. The empirical data for this study were based on the technology assessment results of Korea Technology Finance Corporation (KOTEC) on 3,462 venture & inno-biz companies and the following 2 years' financial data. Sample companies with technological innovation resources, such as technology management strategy(Value), differentiation of technology(Rarity), imitation difficulty of technology(Imitability) and technical organization capability(Organization), made efforts to expand their intellectual property rights, technological development and commercialization of new products, thereby ensuring technological competitive advantage. Furthermore, technological competitive advantage were proved to improve sales growth, increase in operating revenue, and financial soundness. Compared with four VRIO factors' influence on business performance, imitation difficulty of technology(Imitability) and organization technological capability(Organization) had much more influence than any other internal resources or capabilities respectively.

본 연구는 기술보증기금이 자체적으로 기술평가를 거쳐 운전자금보증을 지원한 3,462개 벤처 이노비즈기업의 현장데이터에 근거하여 기업에 내재된 4가지 VRIO 속성, 즉 기술혁신의 가치 (Value)와 희소성 (Rarity), 모방가능성 (Imitability) 및 조직 (Organization)이라는 내부자원과 역량이 어떻게 기술적 경쟁우위를 확보해 나가고, 나아가 기술적 경쟁우위는 최종적으로 경제적 경쟁우위에 어떻게 영향을 미치게 되는지를 실증적으로 규명하였다. 기술혁신을 기반으로 하는 표본기업은 기술경영전략 (Value), 기술의 차별성 (Rarity), 기술모방 난이도 (Imitability) 및 기술조직역량(Organization) 등 4개요인의 내부자원과 역량을 통하여 1단계로 지식재산권을 확충하고 기술개발 및 신제품의 상용화가 활발하게 이루어지는 등 기술적 경쟁우위를 확보하게 되며, 나아가 기업의 매출액 증가 및 영업수익 확대뿐만 아니라 기업 전반의 재무건전성이 향상되는 등 가시적인 경영성과를 시현하기 까지 각 단계별로 정(+)의 영향을 주는 것으로 확인되어 연구가설이 지지되었다. 특히, VRIO 특성 중 경쟁기업이 모방하기 어려운 독창적 기술을 보유하거나 기술조직의 역량 확충 등 인프라를 잘 갖춘 경우 여타 기술관련 속성들 보다 기술적 경제적 경쟁우위를 확보하는데 상대적으로 더 큰 영향력을 미치는 것으로 확인되었다.
