Abstract

This paper aims to analyze factors affecting technology transfer performance according to different types of Korean universities and to conduct the research for the channel and extent of impact between these factors, utilizing 5 - year data for the technology transfers of 110 universities based on the survey by National Research Foundation of Korea. According to the analysis, incentive for researchers is the most crucial factor in local universities and small & medium-sized private universities located in the capital area. And numerical value of intellectual property rights owned by university is the key factor in universities specializing in science & engineering / industry. Also, Big-sized universities are heavily affected by the number of full-time faculty. In case of private universities, government subsidy relating to patents is critical factor for technology transfer performance. The mean value of all variables is a lot higher in participant universities than non-participant ones in CK(Connect Korea) project. In summary, it is suggested that steady financial support provided by the government is required and that mutual cooperation for industry-university-government is also needed for the commercialization of the technologies held by universities.

본 논문은 한국연구재단의 대학 산학협력활동실태조사 자료를 기초로 110개 대학의 5년간 기술이전 데이터 4,182건을 분석에 활용하여 대학유형별로 대학의 기술이전성과에 영향을 미치는 요인들과 이들 요인들 간의 영향의 경로와 정도를 분석하고, 선도TLO지원사업 참여여부에 따른 성과 차이를 분석하였다. 그 결과 지방대학들과 수도권 사립중소형 대학들은 연구자 인센티브가 중요한 요인이 되었으며, 특수목적대학은 지식재산권 보유현황이 영향을 미치는 것으로 분석되었다. 대형 대학들은 전임교원수가 절대적으로 영향을 미쳤고, 사립대학의 경우에는 특허관련 정부지원금이 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 선도TLO 지원여부에 따라서는 지원받은 대학들이 그렇지 못한 대학들 보다 모든 변수의 평균값이 높게 나타나 향후에도 정부의 지속적인 지원정책이 필요함을 보여 주고 있다. 또한 대학 유형에 상관없이 대부분의 기술이전이 중소벤처기업에 집중되어 있어서 대학의 우수한 기술들이 성공적으로 상용화 되기 위해서는 산 학 관의 유기적인 협력이 필요하다 하겠다.
