Although small and medium-size enterprises are facing the significant trends in the Fourth Industrial Revolution and Open Innovation which are increasingly in need, the subjects of absorptive capacity and entrepreneurship has not been studied sufficiently in order to enhance the competitiveness of SMEs' products and cope with the current trend. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of absorptive capacity of SMEs on product competitiveness and the moderating role of CEO's entrepreneurship between the absorptive capacity and the product competitiveness. The data were collected from 313 employees of 22 SMEs in the Seoul metropolitan area, Kyunggi-do and Chung-cheong province, and analyzed using hierarchical regression analysis. As a result of the hypothesis test, both the absorptive capacity of SMEs and CEO's entrepreneurship had a positive effect on the product competitiveness. In addition, also found out the innovativeness and the proactivness out of the three entrepreneurship had the moderate roles between the potential absorptive capacity out of the absorptive capacity and the product competitiveness. On the other hand, the risk-taking out of the three entrepreneurship had the moderate roles between the realized absorptive capacity out of the two absorptive capacity and the product competitiveness. These results suggest that open innovation and technological entrepreneurship are needed to help SMEs learn external resources and information to create performance. After discussing this conclusions and implications of the study, the direction for future study was presented.

인터넷 상거래가 활성화되면서 기업들은 인터넷과 접목하여 자사의 이익을 극대화 하는 방안을 모색하고 있다. 소비재를 생산하는 기업 및 중간 상인들은 일명 "쇼핑몰"을 구축하여 기업 홍보와 더불어 제품 판매를 시행하고 있으며 특정 기업은 상당한 가치 창출을 한 것으로 알려져 있으나, 자본재를 생산하고 거래하는 기업에서는 인터넷의 가능성에 대한 확신의 부족으로 투자를 꺼리고 있는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 자본재 제품에 대한 정보를 구축.검색하는 제품몰을 개발하여 자본재를 생산하는 중소기업체들에게 인터넷 사업의 기회를 제공하고, 구축된 제품 정보 데이터베이스를 이용하여 제품간 유사성을 바탕으로 제품 검색자(바이어)에게 제품 정보를 제공하고자 한다. 이 연구의 결과로써, 기업은 자사의 제품에 대한 사양.특징.기술력 등을 인터넷을 통해 홍보하고 타사의 유사제품에 대한 정보를 제공받음으로써 제품 경쟁력 제고에 도움이 되며, 바이어는 전체적인 제품을 하나의 사이트에서 검색함으로써 정보 검색에 따른 시간을 절약하고 원하는 제품 정보와 함께 유사제품 정보를 제공받음으로써 제품 구매 판단을 위한 유익한 정보 제공을 기대한다. 제공을 기대한다.

한국기계연구원 기계.재료기술정보센터는 경남지역 6천여 제조업 중심 기업들의 인터넷마인드 확산.CALS적용.인터넷정보검색.EC호스팅 등의 업무를 추진해 오면서 얻은 노-하우를 바탕으로, 중소업체들의 정보화 현실을 감안하여 기업(특히 중소기업)이 가장 필요로 하는 EC분야를 적용하기 위해 노력하고 있다. 기업간 EC는 종래에는 VAN을 통한 EDI가 주를 이루었으나, 인터넷이 활성화되고 이용자 수가 폭증함에 따라 거래처 개척, 물류, 결제 등 광범위한 거래 활동은 사이버화해 나가는 것을 대상으로 하고 있으며, 기존 EDI와는 달리 지속적인 거래 관계만을 전제로 하지 않고 거래 활동의 다각화를 시도하고 있다. 이러한 취지에 근거하여, 본 논문에서는 기업간(또는 사업자간) 전자상거래의 유형 중 제품을 생산하는 기업을 대상으로 불특정 다수기업이 인터넷들 통해 제품을 홍보하고 제품 수.발주가 성사되도록 지원하는 유사제품 검색 기능을 탑재한 제품을 형태의 인터넷 마케팅 서버(가칭 비즈니스 서버)를 제안한다.

The product categories that can be sold on-line are expanding. It is interesting to see which product categories have more sales possibilities on internet. Small-sized firms' products have low distribution coverage, low brand recognition, bigger dispersion in the perception on the values which consist of quality vs. price, and higher possibilities of perceived purchase risks. Since on-line shopping is supposed to provide opportunities to small-sized firms that have low distribution and brand power, it is quite necessary to evaluate the fitness of on-line sales for small-sized firms' product categories. There are virtually no research studies on the on-line sales for small-sized firms' product categories. In this study, based on the integration of SEC, FCB, and related concepts, we develop new theoretical framework and test the fitness of on-line sales for small-sized firms' product categories by conducting empirical analysis. The empirical results on 17 product categories show that SEC, FCB, purchase risks, brand factors are somewhat related. Unlike previous studies, since the fitness of SEC and on-line sales are not clearly shown, we need to consider those problems within inter-related multiple frameworks. That is, it is necessary to evaluate the fitness of on-line sales after defining the product categories within the integrated multiple frameworks rather than within the single framework.
