Abstract

Based on the Knowledge Spillover Theory of Entrepreneurship, this study analyzes the relationship between technological entrepreneurship and national competitiveness. It also analyzes how innovation-driven economy moderates this relationship. Using data on technological entrepreneurship, national competitiveness indexes and economy development stages from 83 countries over 2011 to 2014, this study finds that a ratio of technology-based start-ups in a country has a U-shaped relationship with national competitiveness. this study also finds that countries that are in the innovation-driven economy strengthen this relationship. This finding shows that a higher ratio of technology-based start-ups of a country does not have unconditional positive effects on national competitiveness, thus, related environments and conditions should be elaborately matched. In particular, this finding also implies that policies related to technology-based start-ups should have a proper fit with the level of economic development of the country so that the positive effects of technological entrepreneurship on national competitiveness can be strengthened.

이 연구는 국가경쟁력을 향상시키는 조건으로서 기술창업의 역할에 대해 분석한다. 기업가의 지식확산이론(Knowledge Spillover Theory of Entrepreneurship)을 기반으로, 국가 내 기술기반 창업의 비중이 국가경쟁력을 높이는 데 어떠한 영향을 주는지 분석한다. 또한 국가경제개발 단계 측면에서 혁신주도형경제(Innovation-driven economy)에 해당되는 경우 국가경쟁력에 미치는 기술창업의 영향력이 어떻게 조절되는지 살펴본다. 2011년부터 2014년까지 83개 국가의 기술창업, 국가경쟁력지수, 경제개발단계 등의 데이터를 기반으로 분석한 결과, 국가 내 기술창업비율은 국가경쟁력과 U자형 관계를 가진다는 점을 확인했다. 또한 국가 발전단계 상 혁신주도형경제에 해당되는 국가의 경우 이 관계는 강화되는 방향으로 조절되는 점을 확인했다. 이 연구는 기술 기반의 창업 비율이 증가할수록 국가경쟁력에 무조건 긍정적 영향을 미치지 않으며 상황과 조건이 잘 맞아야 함을 강조한다.
