Abstract

Collaborative technology development is now one of the most significant modes of activity in the global scientific community. However, the international cooperation of science and technology simultaneously provides opportunities and challenges, and the results of global R&D collaboration can be positive or negative as the cooperation conditions of the parties may be different according to the types or characteristics of the participants and the pattern, purpose, and motivation of cooperation. In order to minimize the risk and improve the performance of cooperation, more comprehensive as well as micro-level research is needed. This study investigates a case of successful collaborative R&D conducted by several firms, universities, and public research organizations in both Korea and the U.S.A. The aim of this study is to identify the factors of successful R&D collaboration.

공동기술개발은 작금의 글로벌 과학연구에 있어서 가장 의미있는 활동 중 하나이며, 이는 기회요인과 도전과제를 동시에 지닌다. 또한 국경을 넘는 활동은 참가자들의 특징, 조직유형, 협력목적 및 동기 등에 따라 성과가 매우 다르게 나타난다. 이러한 불확실성을 감소시키고 협력연구의 성과를 증진시키기 위해서는 포괄적인 차원의 연구와 구체적인 연구가 병행될 필요가 있다. 이에 본 연구는 한국과 미국 내의 기업, 대학 및 공공연구기관이 R&D를 둘러싼 협업의 성공사례를 분석했다. 본 연구의 목적은 성공적인 기술협력의 요인을 찾아내는 것이다. 사례분석 결과 성공요인으로서 연구팀의 강력한 의지, 파트너의 적정 선정 및 역할분담, 보완적 기술과 자산, 정부의 지원 등이 도출되었다.
