Abstract

This study analyzes whether the network characteristics lead to differences in innovation performance between inventors, using the case of Samsung Electronics and Hyundai Motor Company which have applied for the most patents in the electronics and automobile industries while showing significant differences in the degree of collaborative invention. The more inventors an inventor is connected with in the network, the higher innovation performance is achieved. While existing literature addressed intra- / interindustry, and intra- / inter- group spillovers at the organizational level, this study extends this discussion to the inventor level. This study newly introduces spillover pools from network components and then constructs spillover pools in three dimensions of the group, the industry, and the network component. The study analyzes the effects of each spillover pool on invention performance of an individual inventor and compares the effects between spillover pools. At the inventor level, the innovative effects of spillover pools were confirmed. The results of this study suggest that the inventor's network characteristics and spillover pools can be used to predict the inventor's innovation performance.

본 연구는 팀발명의 정도에 있어서 상당한 차이를 보이면서 전자산업, 자동차산업에서 가장 많은 특허를 출원해온 삼성전자와 현대자동차 발명자들을 대상으로 네트워크 특성들이 발명자들 간 혁신성과 차이를 가져오는지를 분석하였다. 네트워크 내에서 더 많은 발명자들과 연결되어 있을수록 더 높은 혁신성과를 보였다. 기존 문헌들이 산업내 및 산업간, 그룹내 및 그룹외 파급효과를 조직 수준에서 다루었는데, 본 연구는 이러한 논의를 발명자 수준으로 확장하였다. 본 연구는 네트워크로부터의 파급효과풀을 새롭게 추가하여 네트워크 내외, 그룹 내외, 산업 내외의 3가지 차원에서 파급효과풀들을 구성한 후 각 파급효과풀들이 미치는 효과를 분석하였으며 서로 간에 비교하였다. 발명자 수준에서 다양한 파급효과풀들이 혁신에 미치는 효과가 확인되었다. 본 연구의 결과는 발명자의 네트워크 특성들과 파급효과풀들이 발명자의 혁신성과에 대한 예측에 활용될 수 있음을 시사한다.
