Abstract

While R&D intermediate organizations play an important role in the NIS(National Innovation System) by executing the community activities('exploration-planning-research'), it is difficult to find many success stories in south korea. What set this paper apart are two things: Real-life case study and in-depth analysis. Other research have only focused on the importance and necessity of the organization, but this paper provides keen insight into the key factors of successful R&D intermediate organization and its innovation process. Their successful performance has been attributed to their proactive undertaking of 'exploration-planning' activities for research projects which is based on 'Collective Standard and Certification', 'TIC(Testing, Inspection and Certification) Service'. Based on the findings, this paper suggests the direction for R&D intermediate organizations to proceed in the future.

연구과제에 대한 '탐색-기획-연구' 공동체 활동을 수행하는 연구개발 중간조직은 국가혁신체계(NIS)에서 매우 중요한 역할을 수행하고 있음에도 불구하고, 우리나라에는 해당 역할을 성공적으로 수행하고 있는 조직을 찾기 힘든 현실이다.(Kim and Chung, 2011). 연구개발 중간조직에 관한 기존의 연구들은 조직의 필요성 및 중요성을 강조하는 것에 그쳤으나, 기존 연구들과 달리 본 논문은 중소기업 협동조합을 중심으로 우리나라 연구개발 중간조직의 현황 및 혁신과정에 대한 심층 분석을 통해, 성공적인 역할을 수행하고 있는 연구개발 중간조직을 발굴하고, 그들이 어떻게 해당 역할을 성공적으로 수행하게 되었는지에 대한 핵심 요인을 도출하였다는 점에서 큰 의의가 있다. 그들의 성공적인 역할 수행은 '단체표준 및 인증', '시험기술 인증서비스'를 통해 연구과제의 '탐색-기획' 활동을 자발적인 필요에 의해 수행하며, '흡수역량'을 지속적으로 제고한 것에서 기인한 것으로 파악되며, 이를 바탕으로 향후 연구개발 중간조직이 나아가야할 방향을 제언한다.
