Abstract

This study proposes an integrated use of region and industry as a way to classify firms' innovation activities by type. Existing studies have used the method of determining innovative activities according to the components of the technological regimes and aggregating them by industry classification, but this method cannot fully reflect the heterogeneity within industries in an increasingly sophisticated innovation environment. Therefore, this study divides firms by region and industry and conducts a cluster analysis on the proportion of innovative activities by the components of the technological regimes to derive a total of four innovation types. Using the 2016 Korean Innovation Survey to classify innovation types in the manufacturing industry, we found that innovation activities are concentrated in Seoul, Busan, Incheon, and Chungnam/ Sejong/ Daejeon area, with different deviations by region and industry. The results of the aggregation of industrial innovation activities, weighted by corporate activity by region, show that the level of innovation activity in some manufacturing industries, such as petrochemicals, manufacturing of medical, precision and optical instruments, watches and clocks, is high, but the level of innovation in other sectors within the manufacturing industry is generally low.

본 연구는 혁신조사를 이용하여 기술체제를 파악하고 기업의 혁신활동 양상을 유형별로 분류하는 방법으로써 지역과 산업을 통합적으로 활용하는 방안을 제안한다. 기존의 연구는 기술체제의 구성요소에 따라 혁신활동을 판별하고 산업분류별로 이를 집계하는 방식을 사용해 왔으나 이러한 방식은 고도화되는 환경에서 산업 내 이질성을 충분히 반영할 수 없다. 이에 본 연구에서는 지역과 산업을 기준으로 기업군을 나눈 뒤 기술체제의 구성요소별 혁신활동 비중에 대한 군집분석을 수행하여 총 네 개의 혁신유형을 도출하였다. 2016년 한국기업혁신조사를 이용하여 제조업의 혁신유형을 분류한 결과 서울, 부산, 인천, 충남/세종/대전을 중심으로 혁신활동이 집중되는 가운데 지역별로 산업별 편차가 다르게 나타남을 확인하였다. 지역별 기업 활동을 가중치로 한 산업 혁신활동 집계 결과는 석유화학제품, 의료·정밀·광학기기 및 시계제조업 등 일부 제조업의 혁신활동 수준은 높지만 제조업 내 다른 부문에서의 혁신 수준은 전반적으로 낮은 것으로 나타났다.
