Abstract

이 논문은 Carlsson and Stanklewicz(1991)가 창안한 기술시스템(technological systems)의 개념을 한국과 스웨덴의 산업용로봇에 적용하여, 양자를 비교 분석하고자 하였다. 먼저 기술시스템의 개념을 재구축하고, 동태적인 측면에서 시스템의 진화과정을 보강한 다음, 한국과 스웨덴의 산업용로봇에 대한 기존 연구를 활용하여 양 기술시스템의 중요한 특징들을 비교하고 그 성과를 측정하였다. 한국과 스웨덴에 있어서 산업용로봇 기술시스템의 진화과정은 공히 미국, 일본 등 기술선도국을 모방하는 입장에 있었음에도 불구하고 '학습기간'이 20여 년 이상 소요됨을 보여주었다. 뿐만 아니라 양 시스템의 진화과정. 특히 태동기(embryo stage)에 있어서 정부의 역할이 매우 컸던 것으로 분석되었다. 그러나 기술시스템의 구성요소인 산업네트워크, 기술하부구조, 그리고 제도적하부구조 면에서 강약점 및 특징의 차이가 있음을 발견하였다. 기술시스템의 동태적 성과면에서는 한국의 경우가 스웨덴의 경우보다 상대적으로 더 우월한 것으로 평가되었다. 이는 스웨덴 시스템에서는 초기에 우위를 누렸던 기계, 전기, 그리고 메카트로닉스 기술의 우위와 사용자 능력이 점차 약화되어온 반면에 한국의 시스템은 기술하부구조 등이 취약하였지만 해외시스템과의 연계, 재벌 내에서의 기업간 연계, 산학연 협동, 그리고 지역내 연계 등 시스템내의 연계성이 기술적으로 취약한 부분을 보전해 주었기 때문인 것으로 분석되었다. 따라서 어느 한 기술시스템이 자생적으로 생명력을 이어가기 위해서는 시스템 구성요소의 개별적 형성 및 발전보다는 구성요소간 그리고 시스템내의 다양한 활동주체들의 상호작용과 연계성이 중요함을 강조하였다.
