Abstract

This study considered regional differences in the university-industry collaboration of Korean universities and performed cluster analysis to identify the spatial range with high university-industry collaboration connectivity. By university establishment type, it was found that the university-industry collaboration capacity of the major national university was superior overall, especially in the technology transfer & commercialization sector and the infrastructure sector, compared to private universities and general national universities. The spatial pattern of university-industry collaboration capacity showed relatively clear differences by city and province. In terms of university-industry collaboration capacity by sector, it was confirmed that the regional gap was not large in the talent training sector and the infrastructure sector, but the regional gap was relatively large in the technology transfer & commercialization sector and the start-up sector. As a result of the cluster analysis to identify a spatial range with high connectivity in terms of similarity and spatial proximity of university-industry collaboration patterns, it is divided into 15 clusters. It is found that most of major national universities are included in one of 15 clusters where all sectors of university-industry collaboration are strong. Therefore, as a policy measure to achieve regional innovative growth through enhancing the effectiveness of university-industry collaboration, we propose the establishment of a hub & spoke network-type collaboration system in which a major national university acts as a hub and nearby local universities play a spoke role.

본 연구는 한국 대학들의 산학협력 역량의 공간적 패턴을 분석하고, 산학협력 연계성이 높은 공간 범위를 파악하기 위한 군집분석을 수행하였다. 대학 설립유형별로는 거점국립대학의 산학협력 역량이 전반적으로 우세하며, 특히 기술이전·사업화 부문과 인프라 부문에서 사립대학이나 일반 국립대학보다 우위에 있는 것으로 나타났다. 산학협력 역량의 공간적 패턴은 시·도별 차이가 비교적 명확히 나타났다. 부문별 산학협력 역량에서, 인재양성 부문과 인프라 부문에 있어서는 지역 간 격차가 크지 않으나, 기술이전·사업화 부문과 창업 부문에 있어서는 지역 간 격차가 비교적 큰 것으로 확인되었다. 산학협력 패턴의 유사성과 공간적 근접성 측면에서 연계성이 높은 공간 범위를 파악하기 위해서 군집분석을 한 결과 15개 군집으로 나누어졌으며, 산학협력 전 부문이 강하게 나타나는 군집에서 거점국립대학이 속해 있는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 산학협력의 효과성 제고를 통해 지역혁신성장을 달성하기 위한 정책 방안으로 거점국립대학이 허브(hub) 역할을 하고 인근의 지역대학들이 스포크(spoke) 역할을 하는 허브 & 스포크(hub & spoke) 네트워크형 협업 체계의 구축을 제안한다.
