Abstract

This study analyzed the effects of SMEs' open innovation capabilities and organization capabilities to lead these innovations on corporate performance. For this purpose, an empirical analysis was conducted targeting 250 small and medium-sized enterprises(SMEs) employee. The empirical study results are as follows. Absorptive capability, relational capability, CEO's innovativeness, employee's innovativeness, and decision-making openness had a significant positive (+) effect on the non-financial performance of SMEs. It was analyzed that multiplicative capability did not significantly affect non-financial performance. On the other hand, absorptive capability, relational capability, CEO's innovativeness, and decision-making openness had a significant positive (+) effect on the financial performance of SMEs. It was analyzed that multiplicative capability and employee's innovativeness did not significantly affect financial performance. Decision-making openness and absorptive capability were analyzed as factors that have an most important influence on a company's financial and non-financial performance. Based on these research results, academic and practical implications were presented.

본 연구에서는 중소기업을 대상으로 이들 중소기업의 개방형 혁신 역량과 이러한 혁신을 주체적으로 이끌 내부조직 역량이 기업성과에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 이를 위해 중소기업 종사자 250명을 대상으로 실증적인 분석을 하였다. 실증 연구 결과는 다음과 같다. 개방형 혁신역량의 하위 요소 중 흡수능력, 관계능력, 조직역량의 하위요소 중 CEO의 혁신성, 종업원의 혁신성, 의사결정 개방성 모두 중소기업의 비재무적 성과에 정(+)의 유의한 영향을 미쳤다. 반면 증분능력은 비재무적 성과에 유의한 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 분석되었다. 한편, 흡수능력, 관계능력, CEO의 혁신성, 의사결정 개방성 모두 중소기업의 재무적 성과에 정(+)의 유의한 영향을 미쳤다. 반면 증분능력과 종업원 혁신성은 재무적 성과에 유의한 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 분석되었다. 의사결정 개방성과 흡수능력이 기업의 재무적 성과 및 비재무적 성과에 공통적으로 중요한 영향을 미치는 요인으로 분석되었다. 이러한 연구 결과를 바탕으로 학술적 및 실무적인 시사점을 제시하였다.
