Abstract

This study focuses on the internalization process of service sector, especially on the foreign market entry modes of Korean healthcare industry. The paper examined the effects of country and firm specific factors, and strategic elements of the industry on the selection of foreign market entry modes by using multiple regression analysis. The findings indicate that firms' global experience and documented strategic assets have significant effects on the high control organizational types in the selection of entry mode while the other determinants including size of the firm were found to be less significance. This study provides the academic implications to the subject of the internationalization of Asian service industry and the practical reference to this highly specialized soft service sector.

본 연구는 서비스 영역의 국제화, 특히 국내 의료산업의 해외진출 방식을 다중회귀분석 이용하여 국가와 기업특유의 요인 및 전략적 인자가 해외시장 진출 방식을 결정하는데 어떠한 영향을 미치고 있는가를 분석하였다. 연구의 결과 기존 해외시장에서의 경험과 체계화된 전략적 자산이 해외진출 방식의 결정에 있어 보다 높은 통제수준의 진입 방식을 결정하게 하는 요인으로 밝혀졌으며 기업의 규모와 같은 기업특유 요인들은 통계적으로 유의하지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 제조업에 비해 국제화의 정도가 낮은 수준에 머무르고 있는 아시아 서비스 산업의 해외 진출에 관한 이론적 틀을 제공하고 특히 특화된 소프트 산업으로서 의료산업의 향후 해외진출 방식 결정에 있어 동기와 통제의 수준 간에 관한 실무적 함의를 제공하고 있다.
