Abstract

External linkages affect the performance of small and medium enterprises in diverse ways. This study delves into the impact of inter-organizational collaboration by looking at different facets of performance, such as innovation, sales growth, profit growth, and firm survival. In addition, it explores the influence of informal knowledge spillover from collaborative partners as well as from formal collaborations. The impact is carefully investigated by dividing firm samples into three different sectoral innovation categories: supplier-dominant, production-intensive, and science-based sector suggested by Pavitt (1984). The result highlights the different influence pattern of collaborative relations by partner types according to sectoral categories. The positive results of collaborating with universities and public institutions are identified, and the sales growth by customer linkage is witnessed. The impact is apparent in science-based sectors. The result implies that the risk associated with collaborating with competitors may be moderated by linking performance enhancing collaborative linkages with universities and government institutes.

본 연구는 중소기업의 외부협력이 기업의 혁신, 매출성장과 수익증가, 그리고 생존에 미치는 영향을 다각적으로 분석하였다. 기업의 성과를 다양한 측면으로 나타내었을 뿐 아니라 외부연계는 직접협력과 비공식지식흐름의 두 가지 측면을 모두 고려하여 각 파트너 유형마다 기업의 성과에 어떠한 영향을 미치는 지 보다 세밀하게 검토하였다. 또한 Pavitt의 혁신체제 분류를 응용한 방식(Freel 2003; 홍장표 김은영 2009)을 도입하여 산업혁신체제별로 외부협력의 성과가 다르게 나타남을 보였다. 분석결과 기존의 국제연구(Belderbos et al. 2004)에서 관측되지 않았던 외부연계의 영향이 산업혁신체제별로 관측되었다. 대학 및 공공기관과의 협력 그리고 고객과의 협력이 매출증대에 도움이 되는 점이 확인되었으며 경쟁업체와의 협력은 생존측면에서 부정적인 면을 내포하고 있음이 탐지되었다. 본 연구의 결과는 과학기반혁신체제의 경우 외부협력이 효과가 있다는 것을 밝히고 있다. 또한 매출증대효과 및 생존율 향상 효과가 있는 대학 및 공공기관 협력을 통해 관계위험이 존재하는 경쟁업체와의 협력을 보완하는 방식이 효과적일 수 있다는 시사점이 도출되었다.
