Abstract

This research is to examine the factors affect technological innovation, which in turn is likely to related to financial performance in SMVs (Small-Medium Ventures). Empirical analyses showed that overseas market shares, R&D investment, firm size, firm capability, and centralization in decision-making are statistically related to technological innovation measured with patents and intellectual property. Additionally, technological innovation was found to have a positive relationship with financial performances measured with firms' assets and sale revenues. In conclusion, this research assist to devise a strategic plan for motivating technological innovation and realizing its performance in the SMVs.

본 연구에서는 중소벤처기업의 기술혁신을 유발하는 선행요인이 무엇인지, 그리고 기술혁신이 기업의 재무성과에 어떤 영향을 미치는지를 살펴보고자 한다. 따라서 기업의 외부환경 (국내·해외 시장 점유율, 정부의 규제 및 지원, 경쟁의 격화정도)과 기업의 내부 경영자원으로서 유형자원(R&D 투자규모, 기업크기, 기업의 연령), 무형자원 (기업의 능력, 의사결정의 중앙집중화 정도), 및 인적자원 (R&D 관련 인력의 질적 수준)과 기술혁신의 관계를 검토하였으며, 또한 기술혁신과 기업의 재무성과 관계를 분석하였다. 실증분석 결과, 해외시장 점유율, R&D 투자규모, 기업의 규모, 기업능력, 중앙집중화 등의 요인이 중소기업의 기술혁신 (특허권, 지적재산권)에 유의적 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며, 또한 기술혁신은 기업의 매출액 및 총자산과 유의적 관계가 있다는 분석결과가 제시되었다. 결론적으로, 본 연구는 기업이 기술혁신을 효과적으로 추진하고 그 성과를 실현하기 위한 전략적 선택을 모색하는데 어느 정도 도움을 줄 것으로 기대된다.
