Abstract

In devising technological innovation strategies and implementing successful technological innovation, some of the most important factors may be to determine whether to protect technological innovation and to choose how to protect it. Traditionally, technological innovation has been emphasized to obtain compensation as much as possible for innovation in terms of economics and strategy. However, it can be regarded as a very complicated problem to determine such a protection and its level. Generally speaking, enterprises have some common mechanisms to secure compensation for technological innovation, which are known to be patents, secrecy and lead time advantage. From the standpoint of enterprises, it is very important what strategies should be devised to secure profits for technological innovation. According to some domestic and oversea research results revealed that specific patents are not the best way to Appropriability for technological innovation, while also implying that there exist several different kinds of mechanisms to Appropriability for technological innovation in each industry. Nevertheless, since it shouldn't be ignored that most of the researches have overlooked the characteristics of Korean enterprises and industrial differences, this study intends to clarify the effectiveness of technological innovation Appropriability mechanisms reflecting actual circumstances and industrial characteristics in Korea while classifying them. Also The questionnaires and delphi method used in this study. As the result of analysis, in the entire industries, the priorities turned out to be in the order of Superior sales and service efforts, Leadtime advantage, Complementary manufacturing.

기술혁신 전략을 구성하고 기술혁신의 성공적인 실행을 위해 중요한 요소 중 하나는 바로 기술혁신에 대한 보호 여부의 결정과 보호 방법의 선택일 것이다. 전통적으로 경제학적인 면과 전략적인 측면에서 혁신에 대한 보상을 최대한 많이 얻기 위해 기술혁신을 보호하는 것을 강조해왔다. 하지만 이러한 보호 여부와 그 수준을 결정하는 일은 매우 복잡한 문제라고 할 수 있다. 일반적으로 기업들이 기술혁신에 대한 보상을 확보하는 메커니즘으로는 특허, 비밀유지, 시장 선점 등이 있다고 알려져 있다. 기업의 입장에서는 기술혁신에 대한 수익 확보 전략은 매우 중요하다. 왜냐하면 어떠한 전략을 세우느냐에 따라 기업의 흥망성쇠가 달라진다고 할 수 있기 때문이다. 그동안의 국외 연구에서 드러난 결과로는 특별히 특허가 기술혁신에 대한 보상확보를 위한 최선의 방법은 아니라는 것을 보여주고 있으며 이는 기술혁신의 보상확보를 위해서는 산업별로 여러 가지의 보상확보 메커니즘이 있다는 것을 암시하고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 전문가를 대상으로 델파이와 설문조사를 통해 산업별 특성을 반영할 수 있는 기술혁신 보상확보 메커니즘의 효과성과 유형을 분류하였다. 분석결과, 우수한 판매 및 서비스 활동, 리드타임, 보완적 제조 순으로 나타났다.
