Abstract

Based on the knowledge spillover theory of entrepreneurship(KSTE) and resource based view(RBV), this study examines that how patent based entrepreneurship impacts on improving key performances such as financing, firm innovation, sales, product selling growth, employment. This study which is conducted with data from 353 startup firms indicates that patent based entrepreneurship has positive effects on performance of financing, innovation, product selling growth, and employment. On the other hand, there is no effect of patent-based entrepreneurship on sales performance. This statistical results were the same The results were the same when the independent variables were measured as intensity of patent based entrepreneurship which indicates the rate of patent based product or service among total number of product or service of the startup company.

이 연구는 창업성과를 높이는 요인에 대한 새로운 시사점을 제시한다. 창업가의 지식확산이론(Knowledge Spillover Theory of Entrepreneurship)과 자원기반이론(Resource Based Vies)을 기반으로, 특허기반 창업이 주요 창업성과에 미치는 영향을 분석했다. 창업성과는 자금조달, 혁신성, 매출, 제품판매증가율, 단기고용 등을 포함했다. 특허기반 창업의 효과를 다각적으로 검토하기 위해 특허기반 창업 변수는 특허기반 창업여부와 특허기반 창업강도(intensity)로 세분화하여 분석했다. 지식재산기반 창업촉진사업 프로그램에 참가한 353개 창업기업 데이터를 토대로 분석한 결과, 특허기반 창업은 자금조달, 혁신성, 단기 제품판매증가율, 단기고용 등 성과 면에서 긍정적 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 반면 단기 매출성과에는 효과가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 이 같은 통계적 양상은 특허기반 창업여부와 특허기반 창업강도 모두 동일하게 나타났다. 이는 특허기반 창업이 창업기업의 자금조달 역량과, 미래 경쟁력, 성장성을 높이는 데 유효한 방법임을 시사한다. 특허 등 지식재산을 기반으로 창업을 하는 방식은 기업과 산업의 질적 고도화를 실현하는 데 중추적 역할을 한다는 기존 연구의 흐름을 이어가며, 창업가들의 설문조사에 기반한 계량분석을 통해 그 효과성을 실증적으로 증명한다는 점에서 의의를 지닌다.
