Abstract

Robot technology has become a crucial part of today's business operation. In fact, more manufacturing firms have been utilizing robot technology in order to increase operational efficiency and productivity. Thus, this study develops the research model investigating firms; behavior for process innovation with intelligent robot. Three categories - Technical, Entrepreneur, and Environmental characteristic - are proposed in the research model as determinants of process innovation. These three characteristics include six variables(Perceived Direct Usefulness, Perceived Indirect Usefulness, Innovation, Risk Senstivity, Perceived Industry Pressure, and Perceived Government Pressure) as influencing factors on process innovation. The data from 77 employee at manufacturing firms were analyzed to test proposed hypotheses. The results reveal that all variables with exception of Perceived Government Pressure have a significant influence on process innovation. Based on the study results, theoretical and practical implications for process innovation with intelligent robot technology are discussed.

현대의 기업경영에서 생산성과 효율성을 높이기 위해 제조 현장에 로봇기술의 도입은 핵심적인 기업경영사항 중에 하나이다. 이에 본 연구는 국내 중소 제조기업을 대상으로 지능형 로봇 기술 도입이 기술, 조직, 환경특성의 총 6개 변수(인지된 직접적 유익성, 인지된 간접적 유익성, 혁신성, 위험감수성, 인지된 산업압력, 인지된 정부압력)가 기업의 프로세스 혁신에 어떤 영향을 미치는지 검증하고자 하였다. 총 77개의 중소 제조기업의 자료로 Partial Least Square(PLS) 접근방법을 사용하여 연구모형의 변수간 인과관계를 분석하였다. 연구결과, 인지된 정부압력을 제외한 총 5가지 요소들이 기업 프로세스 혁신에 중요한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 연구결과를 바탕으로 지능형 로봇을 도입하여 기업 프로세스 혁신을 위한 이론적, 실무적 시사점을 제시하였다.
