Abstract

The purpose of this study is to verify the effects of R&D process maturity on product development performance and to verify whether R&D project performance mediating effect. The questionnaire was collected and analyzed to 131 persons related to the R&D work in 55 companies and public institutions performing R&D work. The results of this study are as follows, the effect of R&D process maturity on product development performance and mediating effect of R&D project performance were analyzed by simple and multiple regression analysis. Regression analysis was analyzed by SPSS statistical program. The higher the maturity level of the R&D process, the higher the product development performance and the R&D project performance, and the R&D project performance is partially mediated. It is concluded that it is important to establish and operate a systematic R&D process and to develop a project management methodology suitable for the characteristics of a company in order to improve product development performance. It is expected that if this study are utilized as practical R&D management methodology in corporate management, it will contribute to improvement of company product performance.

본 연구는 R&D 프로세스 성숙도가 제품개발 성과에 미치는 영향을 확인하고, 그 과정에서 R&D 프로젝트 성과가 R&D 프로세스 성숙도와 제품개발 성과의 관계에서 매개역할을 하는지 검증하는데 목적이 있다. 본 연구목적의 실증분석을 위해 설정된 연구가설을 검증하기 위하여 R&D 업무를 수행하는 55개의 기업과 공공기관을 대상으로 R&D 업무와 관련된 131명의 인원에게 설문을 수집 분석하였다. 실증분석 방법으로 변수들과 요인들에 대한 신뢰성 및 타당성 검증, 상관관계분석을 진행하였고 R&D 프로세스 성숙도가 제품개발 성과에 미치는 영향에 대해서는 단순 다중회귀분석, R&D 프로젝트 성과의 매개효과에 대해서는 매개회귀분석을 SPSS 통계프로그램으로 분석하였다. 분석결과 R&D 프로세스 성숙도가 높을수록 제품개발 성과와 R&D 프로젝트 성과가 높아지는 것으로 나타났고, R&D 프로젝트 성과는 부분매개효과가 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 이러한 연구결과를 기반으로 기업에서는 제품개발 성과를 향상시키기 위해서는 체계적인 R&D 프로세스의 수립과 운영이 필요하고, 기업 특성에 적합한 프로젝트관리 방법론의 개발이 중요하다는 결론을 제시하였다. 본 연구결과에서 정리된 R&D 프로세스 성숙도 및 R&D 프로젝트 성과, 제품개발 성과에 대한 실증분석 결과를 기업 경영에 실질적인 R&D 관리 방법론으로 활용한다면 기업의 연구개발 성과 향상에 기여할 것으로 기대된다.
