Abstract

As the main purpose of R&D changes from the center of knowledge creation to the center of economic value creation through technology transfer and commercialization, public technologies can also secure economic feasibility as well as make a social contribution. Korea has been focusing on fostering core human resources who can lead the commercialization of basic and original research results by launching the 'Support project for exploring startups linked with public technology-based markets' since 2015 in order to promote public technology startup. This study is based on the results of a survey for the purpose of analyzing the performance of this project. In addition, this study derived four factors related to the I-corps project performance from the results of this survey and verified the relationship between these factors through structural equation model analysis. In summary, it was confirmed that 'Application Level' and 'Business Model,' which are positively affected directly from 'Entrepreneurship Learning,' have positive effects on 'Financial Resources'. Furthermore, the indirect effect of 'Entrepreneurship Learning' on 'Financial Resources' was verified. In particular, the high level of impact of 'Entrepreneurship Learning' on 'Application Level,' and the impact of 'Application Level' on 'Business Model' and 'Financial Resources' were also positive.

연구개발(R&D)의 주요 목적이 과거 지식 창출 중심에서 기술이전 및 사업화를 통한 경제적 이익 창출 중심으로 변화함에 따라 공공성(public character)을 내재한 공공기술 역시 사회적 기여와 더불어 경제성을 확보할 수 있는 방안이 요구되고 있다. 한국 또한 대학 및 정부출연연구소의 기술창업 활성화를 위해 2015년부터 '공공기술 기반 시장연계 창업탐색 지원사업(한국형 아이코어 사업)'을 실시하여 기초·원천 연구성과의 사업화를 선도할 수 있는 핵심인력 양성에 힘을 기울이고 있다. 본 연구는 기업가정신 교육 관련 선행연구와 동 사업의 성과분석을 목적으로 실시한 설문조사 결과를 토대로 '창업학습', '적용도', '비즈니스 모델', 그리고 '재무적 자원' 등 사업성과와 관련한 4개의 요인을 도출하였고, 가설 검증 및 구조방정식모델 분석을 통해 이러한 영향요인 간의 관계를 실증하였다. 연구결과를 요약하면, 아이코어 사업의 성과인 '재무적 자원'에 미치는 '창업학습'의 직접적인 영향은 통계적으로 확인되지 않았지만, '창업학습'으로부터 유의한 수준에서 긍정적인 영향을 받는 '적용도'와 '비즈니스 모델'이 '재무적 자원'에 긍정적인 영향을 미침에 따라 결과적으로 '창업학습'이 '재무적 자원'에 미치는 간접효과가 검증되었다. 특히 '창업학습'이 '적용도'에 미치는 높은 수준의 영향과 '적용도'가 '비즈니스 모델'과 '재무적 자원'에 미치는 영향 역시 유의한 수준에서 긍정적으로 나타남에 따라 '재무적 자원'에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 핵심요인들이 확인되었다. 따라서 이러한 분석 결과를 바탕으로 본 연구는 공공기술기반 창업교육에 대한 이론적 및 실무적 시사점을 도출하였고, 향후 효과적인 공공기술 사업화를 위한 지원사업의 개선 방향을 제시하고 있다.
