Abstract

We define $21^{st}$ century as an amalgamation of globalization and localization, or Glocalization. Additionally, due to the increasing supply of smart phones and wide usage of social networking services, the ability to utilize such global and regional information has increased a coperation's competitiveness in its market, and even the business models have evolved from the conventional "production and distribution" to E-commerce, through which either a direct or a non-direct transaction is possible. My hypothesis is that the ability to adapt to this trend is possible through transfer of learning, and consequently, this will have an impact on company's performance. Thus, this thesis analyzes the mid- to the long-term impact of such ability and environmental factors on the performance and technology innovation of Korean companies in China. Ultimately, this study intends to engender a basic foundation for a corporation's management strategy in China. Finally this research focuses on those Korean companies in China only and on the proof of influential factors' impact on technological innovation and technological innovation's impact on those corporations' future performances. Section I is an abstract and section II, the case examines the uniqueness and current status of Korean companies in China identifies the concept and the definition of influential factors such as education-orientation, technological innovation, and performance, and then scrutinizes each factors through a closer look at their past researches. Section III explains the thesis model, the survey's method and target, the thesis, variable factors, the content, and the method of analysis. In section IV, the thesis is proved based on the outcome of the survey. The result in Section V highlights the high comprehension of technological innovation: both education-orientation and technological innovation prove to have a positive (+) correlation with the performance. The vision on education orientation proves to have a positive (+) influence on technological innovation. The vision on education-orientation and technological innovation prove to have a positive (+) influence individually on company's performance.

국우리는 흔히 21세기가 세계화와 지방화가 동시에 진행되는 글로컬라이제이션(Glocalization)의 시대라고 말하고 있다. 더구나 스마트폰(Smart Phone)의 빠른 보급과 SNS(Social Network Service)의 광범위한 사용으로 인하여 이 시대에는 글로벌 정보 및 지역 정보의 다양한 활용능력이 기업 경쟁력에 미치는 영향력이 지속해서 증대되었으며, 상거래의 형태도 과거의 고전적 방법의 제조나 유통에서 벗어나 전자 상거래를 통한 직접 혹은 간접적인 거래가 급속하게 파급되어져 가고 있는 실정이다. 이러한 새로운 트렌드(Trend)에 적응하는 교육지향성이 정보의 활용 능력을 극대화하여 기술혁신을 주도하는 중요한 요소로 부상하게 되었고, 궁극적으로는 기업의 성과에 영향을 미친다고 하겠다. 본 논문에서는 대 중국 한국투자기업의 교육지향성이 기업의 기술혁신 및 기업성과에 중장기적으로 미치는 영향력을 파악하여, 궁극적으로는 중국에 특화된 기술을 개발하는 기업경영 전략의 기초 자료를 도출하고자 한다. 따라서 본 연구는 연구대상으로서 중국투자기업만을 다루며, 연구문제로서 기술혁신성에 미치는 영향요인 검증과 기술혁신이 기업성과에 미치는 영향을 다루었다. 제 I 장은 서론이며 제 II장에서는 이 논문의 연구대상인 중국투자기업의 특성과 현황을 살펴본 후에, 이 논문의 실증 연구모형의 주요 변인인 학습지향성, 기술혁신, 기업성과의 개념과 의의를 살펴보고 각각에 대한 선행연구들을 정리하였다. 제 III장에서는 이 논문에서 채택한 연구모형과 설문조사에서의 조사 대상 및 방법, 조사 가설, 각 변인의 조작적 정의, 설문지 구성, 분석 방법 등을 설명하였다. 제 IV장에서는 설문조사 결과를 토대로 앞장에서의 연구가설을 검증하였고, 제 V장에서 나타난 이 논문의 연구결과는 기술혁신성에 대한 인식도가 상대적으로 높게 나타났으며 학습지향성과 기술혁신성은 모두 성과와 유의한 상관관계를 갖는 것으로 나타났고, 학습지향성은 기술혁신성에 유의한 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며, 학습지향성과 기술혁신성은 각각 성과에 유의한 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 연구되었다.
