Abstract

This study empirically analyzes how factors inside university influence the creation of technology-based spin-offs, employing unique data sets. We posit a two-year time lag between the explanatory variables and the dependent one using total 270 university data sets for 5 years in Korea. The results show that universities with experienced technology licensing offices (TLO), those with R&D personnel size, those in possession of incubation policies or business incubators have an edge in creating technology-based spin-offs. The findings provide policy implications. By making more informed decisions on fostering technology-based spin-offs at universities, policymakers can promote the creation of new industries and lead them to create jobs in line with the national economic growth policy.

본 논문에서는 대학 내부 특성이 기술기반 스핀오프 생성에 어떻게 영향을 주는지에 대하여 실증분석을 실시하였다. 한국 대학의 기술기반 스핀오프와 관련된 총 5년간의 통계 데이터를 기반으로 설명변수와 종속변수 간 2년의 시차를 적용함으로써 총270개 대학의 데이터셋을 구성하였다. 본 연구는 대학에서 생성되는 스핀오프를 기술기반 스핀오프로 명확하게 구분하여 분석함으로써 대학 스핀오프에 대한 연구를 심층적으로 수행했고, 기존에 서구권 중심으로 진행됐던 대학 스핀오프 실증연구를 아시아권까지 연구의 폭을 확대하였다. 분석결과는 운영 경험이 더 많은 TLO, R&D 인력규모가 크거나 창업지원 규정이 있는 대학, 그리고, 창업보육센터를 보유한 대학이 기술기반 스핀오프 기업을 창출하는데 있어서 긍정적인 영향을 나타냈다. 본 연구는 대학 내부의 TLO, 대학, 창업지원조직 등 세가지 측면에서 기술기반 스핀오프를 효과적으로 육성하는 방안을 제시함으로써, 결과적으로 신산업 창출과 신산업 고용증가를 위한 정책 수립에 기여할 수 있을 것이다.
