세계 IT 서비스산업의 최근 동향을 살펴보면, 2008년 시장규모가 5,259억 달러에 달하며, 이후 매년 6% 내외의 지속적인 성장률을 보일 것이라고 한다. 이는 기업들의 가치사슬의 중심이 기존의 제조업 중심에서 새로운 가치를 창출하는 R&D, 마케팅, 재무 등의 서비스 분야로 옮기는 시장흐름에 따라, IT 서비스산업 역시, 새로운 경제 성장엔진으로서 서비스산업의 중요한 영역으로 자리 매김하고 있음을 알 수 있다. 그러나 최근 국내 IT 서비스 기업들은 협소한 시장, 기업들간의 치열한 경쟁으로 성장률이 둔화되는 모습을 보이고 있다. 이에 따라 IT 서비스산업의 기업들은 최근 서비스산업의 성장과 함께 등장한 새로운 '서비스’에 대해 이해하고, 서비스 가치를 극대화시키는 혁신을 이끌기 위해 투자하고 있다. 즉, 단순히 IT 서비스를 기업의 하부구조를 위한 기능으로 이해하였던, 시각에서 벗어나, IT 조직의 상황을 고려하여 기업의 성장을 도모하는 전략으로 IT서비스를 이해하고, 이를 통해 서비스 혁신을 이끌어야 하는 필요성이 지각되고 있는 것이다. 기존 IT 서비스 관련 혁신관점의 연구들을 살펴보면, 기술중심의 시각에서 혁신 수준 또는 특성이 IT 수용성 및 성과에 미치는 영향에 대해 설명하는 연구들이 대부분으로, IT 서비스를 실제 서비스의 관점에서 이해하여 혁신과의 관계를 규명하는 실증 연구는 부족한 상태이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 IT 지배구조와 서비스 혁신특성을 통합적으로 고려하여, IT 서비스와 서비스 혁신에 미치는 영향에 대해 알아보고자 한다. 이를 통해 본 연구는 IT 서비스산업의 발전을 위해 전통적인 기술중심의 시각을 극복하고, 비즈니스 관점에서 서비스 혁신을 이끌 수 있는 접근을 제시 할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Focusing on open innovation which is regarded as an important framework for strengthening technological innovation capabilities, in this study empirical analysis is conducted on Korean manufacturing companies, particularly based on the survey results of 149 domestic manufacturing companies that carry out innovation activities in order to identify influence factors for open innovation activities. Analysis on the influence factors of open innovation activities categorized into characteristics of environment, firm-specific characteristics, and characteristics of institutions revealed that characteristics of environment in terms of the degree of market competition and technological changes influence outside-in open innovation activities. Such results suggest that companies respond to increased market competition or technological changes by promoting research and development (R&D) and maintaining or acquiring market competitiveness through introduction of external technology and utilization of external information by means of research collaboration, user innovation, and so on. In terms of firm-specific characteristics, outside-in open innovation activities are influence by R&D personnel, R&D investment, number of international business, export, and openness of corporate culture while inside-out open innovation activities are influenced by characteristics of international organization and CEO's capabilities. In order for companies to strengthen outside-in open innovation activities emphasis on research personnel, R&D input factors such as research funds are necessary whereas to increase inside-out open innovation activities organization solely responsible for international affairs should be established while the CEO needs to focus on open and cooperative entrepreneurship rather than internal technological innovation activities. In terms of characteristics of institutions, outside-in innovation activities are influenced by technological networking whereas inside-out innovation activities are influenced by networking for development of technology and the presence in industrial cluster. This means that the government needs to establish industrial clusters and try to expand technological networking to facilitate open innovation activities.

This paper explores the characteristics of innovation activities in high growth firms that contribute to national and regional economic growth and job creation. The analysis is based on the 2016 KIS data to analyze the difference in innovation activities between high growth firms and general firms. The main results are as follows: First, high growth firms have a higher proportion of R&D personnel than general firms. Second, high growth firms are actively introducing product innovation, process innovation, and organizational innovation as compared to general firms. In the innovation activities related to product innovation and process innovation, there is no statistically significant difference between high growth companies and general companies except for external R&D. Third, High growth firms are more likely to cooperate with other technology partners than general firms. But, there is no statistically significant difference between high growth firms and general firms in the external knowledge search and the diversity of cooperating partners. Fourth, in terms of protecting innovation, high growth firms are more likely to use all kinds of innovation protection method, such as 'utilizing intellectual property rights', 'maintaining confidentiality', 'adopting complex design methods', 'market preemption ahead of competitors', and the most important means is the intellectual property rights. Fifth, government innovation policies that high growth firms chose as important are 'innovation subsidies and loans', 'acquirement, utilization and protection of intellectual property rights' and 'human resource support'.
