The characteristics of R&D Network in Zhongguancun Cluster

중관촌(中關村) 클러스터 연구개발 네트워크의 특성

This paper studies the R&D network of the Zhongguancun Cluster, the most representative innovative cluster of the high-tech industry in China at present. For this study, Zhongguancun Cluster was the first high-tech cluster to have been created in China, the current Zhongguancun Cluster has played a leading role in the development of the high-tech industry in China. In addition, the Zhongguancun Cluster has at helped elevate China as a key region in terms of research development in relation to the high-tech industry. In particular, companies evaluate the research development network culture of Zhongguancun cluster positively and this increases their tendency to approach the research development network with an open mind. The main contents in research development network are as follows; (1) joint or consigned research development and technology transfer in the case of research development network between companies, (2) joint or consigned research development, human resource support and employment, technical advice and consultant and technology transfer in the case of industrial-educational relationships (3) joint or consigned research development, technical advice and consultant and technology transfer in the case of industrial-research relationships, (4) financial support and participation in joint research development project held by government in the case of industrial and governmental relationships (5) financing for research development, utilization of research human resources, purchase of research development and use of research development equipment for mediators. The main difficulties in creating a research development network are 'lack of mutual trust', 'financial problems of companies' and 'lack of information'. Especially, the main key obstacles for the most important research development network between industry and government in the case of the Zhongguancun Cluster are 'complicated and strict procedures. Therefore, more accurate and detailed understanding of the conditions and the following institutional measures from government are required for research development among companies.

본 연구에서는 중국 베이징시(북경시(北京市)) 중관촌(中關村) 클러스터를 사례로 첨단산업 연구개발 네트워크의 특성을 기업간, 산 학, 산 연, 산 관에 초점을 두고 고찰하였다. 분석결과는 다음과 같다. 중관촌(中關村) 클러스터 기업의 국제경쟁력을 제고시키기 위해서는 연구개발의 강화가 요구된다. 기업의 연구개발 네트워크 실태를 조사한 결과를 살펴보면, 조사 대상 기업들은 현재에도 어느 정도는 연구개발 네트워크가 활성화되고 있다. 특히 기업의 협력 대상별 연구개발 네트워크의 내용에 있어서 차이는 있으나, 기업들은 다양한 내용으로 연구개발 네트워크를 이용하고 있다. 그러나 연구개발 네트워크가 어느 정도 자리잡은 수준에 이르고 있지만 아직까지 기업들이 연구개발 네트워크를 구축하는데 많은 애로가 있는 것이 사실이다. 따라서 본문은 기업들이 연구개발 네트워크를 형성하는데 애로점을 해결하기 위해 개선방안을 제시하였다.
