Abstract

This study aims to investigate meaningful relationship between technology appraisal indices and SMEs' financial performances for their continuous growth. The empirical data for this study were based on the technology appraisal results of Korea Technology Finance Corporation(KOTEC) and the financial data of the following 2 years 0f 3,688 SMEs. The meaningful differences between SMEs with superb financial performances and the others, by using t-test analysis, statistically were verified in 25 indices(75.8%) out of total 33 indices. All of five independent variables, namely CEO's capability, technology manpower, R&D intensiveness, market competitiveness and investment feasibility, were verified to have a positive effect on business feasibility respectively and business feasibility also has a positive influence on financial performance, such as sales growth, labor productivity and financial stability.

본 연구는 중소·벤처기업에 대한 기술평가 및 기술금융 지원사업이 기업의 경영성과를 향상시키고 성장기반을 확보하는데 유용한 수단인지 여부를 검증하기 위해 기술보증기금이 직접 기술평가 및 보증을 지원한 3,688개 기업을 표본기업으로 분석하였다. 먼저 대표적 경영성과 지표로서 재무건전성이 우수한 기업과 취약한 기업 간에 기술평가지표 세부 항목별로 유의미한 차이가 있는지 t검증을 실시한 결과, 총 33개 기술평가 세부항목 중 25개항목 (75.8%)에서 재무건전성이 우수한 기업집단과 그렇지 못한 기업집단 간에 기술평가의 유의미한 차이가 있는 것으로 나타나 기술평가지표의 유의성이 비교적 높은 것으로 확인되었다. 그리고 대표자역량, 경영진팀웍, 기술집약도, 시장경쟁력 및 투자타당성 등 5개 구성개념 속성들은 모두 기술사업성에 정(+)의 유의한 영향을 미치고, 기술사업성은 기업의 성장성, 노동생산성 및 재무건전성 등 경영성과에 모두 정(+)의 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다.
