  • 국가연구개발사업으로 도출된 성과의 활용은 국가연구개발 투자 효율성을 제고해 국가경제성장을 견인해야하는 과학기술산업정책의 핵심 과제이다. 우리나라는 다양한 기술이전 사업화지원프로그램을 시행하고 있으나, 성과가 미흡하다. 본 연구는 현행 중소 중견기업 우선제도의 개선방안에 관한 탐색적 연구이다. 현행 중소 중견기업 우선제도는 당초 목적에 부합하여 중소 중견기업의 R&D역량 제고 등 긍정적으로 기여하고 있으므로 원칙적으로 준수하여야 한다. 그러나 동 제도가 형식적으로 운영되지 않도록 동 제도에 전략적 유연성을 부여하는 방향으로 개선할 필요가 있다. 첫째, 기술의 특성상 중소 중견기업이 기술실시계약을 하기에 타당하지 않은 경우에는 예외사항으로서 중소 중견기업 외의 자와 기술실시계약을 할 수 있도록 하는 것이 타당하다. 둘째, 기술수요자 발굴을 위해 "충분한 노력"을 한 경우 본 제도의 의무조건을 이행한 것으로 간주하는 것이 바람직하다. "충분한 노력"은 기술수요자로서 중소 중견기업 발굴을 위해 (1) 기관(기술이전관련) 홈페이지에 12개월 이상 기술공시, 기관자체 기술설명회 개최, 유관기관(전담기관) 합동 기술설명회 개최, 기술 자료집 발간 배포(eDM발송) 중 3가지 이상을 시행한 경우와 (2) 국가기술은행(NTB)에 12개월 이상 기술공시한 경우, (3) 3개 기업이상의 기술수요기업과 협상한 경우 등 상기 세 가지 조건 중 하나 이상의 조건을 만족한 경우이다.

  • This research examines the causal relationships between supervisor trust and organizational citizenship behavior(OCB) and the mediating role of organizational trust on OCB. Using the sample of 282 small and medium sized enterprises' employees, this study analyzes three alternative hypotheses centered around supervisor trust, organizational trust, and OCB. The results show that supervisor trust has a strong positive effect on OCB. Second, organizational trust is positively related to OCB. Third, this research proves that partial mediating effects of organizational trust exist between supervisor trust(relational trust) and OCB(civic virtue, sportsmanship). Finally, this research proves that a full mediating effect of organizational trust exists between supervisor trust(calculative trust) and OCB(sportsmanship). This study recommends supervisor trust, organizational trust be valued in order to increase OCB vital for organizational effectiveness or productivity in small-medium sized manufacturing enterprises.

  • Technological innovation depends on the quality of workers, whose ability is the key component to raise business competitiveness. Our study evaluates how satisfactory is the training of workers at small and medium sized firms, and suggest how to improve upon it. We show the theoretical framework for the relation between customer satisfaction and their behavioral intent on the one side, and factors of training service quality. Our result show: (1) Factors affecting customer satisfaction are, in descending order of importance, expertise, policy, follow-up service, attitude and behavior, and convenience. (2) Contrary to established views on the service quality, satisfaction for training would not be the prerequisite variable for intent to act, in case of training service quality. (3) Satisfaction level for training depends on the type of organization in charge of training (government, university, or private sector.) It also varied among different types of business (L-type, A-type, and J-type.) Small and medium sized firms find it difficult to commit to training education due to lack of money and manpower. The recent expansion of free training service would address part of this problem. On the other hand, the outfit in charge of training could boost service quality by customizing their training program to the type of business they cater to.

  • 비수도권 중소도시의 도시서비스 효율성 저하 문제가 심화됨에 따라 지역거점을 통한 압축적 도시 공간을 형성하고자 철도역세권 개발의 필요성이 강조되고 있다. 대도시 주요 역세권은 복합단지 형태로의 개발이 이루어지고 있지만, 중소도시 역세권의 개발 입지적 특성에 대한 분석은 부족한 실정이다. 본 연구는 전국의 고속철도 역세권을 대상으로 개발 사업여건과 잠재수요의 특성을 분석하여 수도권 대도시, 비수도권 대도시, 비수도권 중소도시의 도시유형에 따른 입지적 특성 차이를 파악하고, 이에 적합한 개발방식을 알아보는 것을 목적으로 한다. 분석결과, '수도권 대도시 역세권'은 높은 잠재수요와 열악한 사업여건을 갖고 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 반면에 비수도권의 경우에는, '중소도시 역세권'은 양호한 사업여건과 낮은 잠재수요의 특징, '대도시 역세권'은 중간적 성격을 가지는 것으로 분석되었다. 이는 대도시와 중소도시 역세권 개발에 있어 서로 다른 개발방식의 필요성을 시사한다. 본 연구의 분석결과는 대규모 비용의 투입이 필요한 대도시 역세권은 잠재수요를 극대화하기 위한 민간참여형 사업을, 중소도시 역세권은 양호한 사업여건을 바탕으로 공공주도형 사업을 진행하거나 지역 특성에 기반한 개발을 통해 민간참여를 유도하는 것이 바람직함을 보여주고 있다.

  • Purpose: The purpose of this study is to identify the determinants of store occupancy based on the rental characteristics of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) renting buildings across the country, and to analyze the satisfaction level after opening. Research design, data and methodology: The study conducted an empirical survey through questionnaires targeting individual business owners, corporate representatives, and executives and employees nationwide, including Seoul, Gyeonggi, and other metropolitan areas and provincial cities. Results: In this study, the most important factor that SMEs consider when deciding whether to rent a commercial building or office is financial characteristics, followed by management characteristics, location characteristics, building characteristics, and facility characteristics. In addition, management characteristics were found to have the greatest impact on rental satisfaction of SMEs, followed by financial characteristics, building characteristics, and location characteristics in order. Conclusions: Since the lessor cannot immediately improve the location characteristics or building characteristics, in order to increase the rental satisfaction of small and medium-sized businesses in a relatively short period of time, it is necessary to improve managerial characteristics such as prompt civil complaint handling and clean management of the building. In addition, it is analyzed that if the factors that can reduce the burden on the tenants are found in advance and reflected in the financial characteristics, the satisfaction of the tenants can be increased.

  • Benchmarking is more than just a comparison of measures about different company's performance in a wider sense. It is a methodology of learning-comparing-learning, at least within small and medium sized enterprises. This learning is not just limited to learn by copying successful concepts from other enterprises or competitors. It starts in learning more about the own company, about its structure and processes causing its own success or its failure. This kind of learning is necessary before the enterprise starts watching for a suitable Benchmarking partner. Learning from each other's strengths and weaknesses is the main goal of the European research project Quality beyond Borders! By using the Benchmarking methodology, small and medium sized enterprises get the opportunity to take part in a Benchmarking study and can learn more about the different strengths and weaknesses of other enterprises on both sides of the border. The results of such a Benchmarking can help to identify potentials for future cooperations among German and Polish enterprises in the same market or business. These potentials can lie in different ways of realising the same success or top-position. The Benchmarking study is not focused on an special business or region. That helps to find out trends for different kinds of top-positions, which can be claimed in all markets within a country. Every trend is characterised by different success factors which are responsible for the success in this top-position. In a first overview, the results of the Benchmarking study show 5 different groups of top-positions within a market which all have different profiles regarding to the importance of their success factors. By the end of the Benchmarking study it will be possible, to give answer about the special reasons for different kind of successes of these groups. These answers can be related to a special region within a country, a special business or of course related to possible differences in the expression of the group success factors in comparison of both countries.
