Abstract

In Korea, small and medium sized domestic enterprises(SMEs) play an pivotal role in the national economy, accounting for 99.9% of all enterprises, 87.5% of total employment, and 47.6% of production. and SMEs was driving a real force of the development of national economy in many respects such as job creation, innovation, balanced regional development, industrial diversity. The government has strengthened a variety of policy support to support SMEs. However, due to the mismatch between the difficulties of SMEs and benefits of government's policy, the policy implementation has not come out effectively. In order to effectively support SMEs, government must be a priority to know about the factors that experiencing difficulties in the technology commercialization process. The purpose of this study is thus to identify the major evaluation criteria through 3 level AHP analysis. First, 12 Critical elements are extracted from previous studies and professional interview and these elements are tied into 3 factors; technological factor, inner-organizational factor and Outer-organizational factor. The results of AHP analysis show that inner-organizational factor is more important and 'Market environment' in the inner-organizational factor is the most important element. The results of this research will be useful for public R&D institutions policy makers when establishing technology commercialization support policies and strategic planning of small and medium sized domestic enterprises.

우리나라에서 중소기업은 전체 사업체 수의 99.9%, 종사자의 87.5%, 전체 생산액의 47.6% 등 국가경제 전반에서 매우 높은 비중을 차지하고 있다. 이로 인해 중소기업은 고용창출, 기술혁신, 지역균형개발, 산업의 다양성 등 여러 측면에서 국민경제 발전의 실질적인 원동력이 되고 있다. 이에 정부에서는 중소기업 지원을 위해서 다양한 정책적 지원을 강화하고 있다. 그러나 정부의 지원 정책이 중소기업이 안고 있는 문제점과 애로사항을 충분히 해결하지 못함에 따라 그 지원의 실효성은 높지 않은 것이 사실이다. 우리 경제의 근간인 중소기업이 국가경제의 경쟁력 강화에 기여할 수 있도록 이들을 효과적으로 지원하기 위해서는 중소기업이 사업화 과정에서 겪고 있는 애로사항을 무엇보다 명확히 파악할 필요가 있다. 본 연구는 중소 벤처기업이 기술사업화 과정에서 겪고 있는 애로사항 파악을 목적으로 애로요인들을 평가지표화 하고, 이들 지표의 중요도를 AHP(Analytic Hierarchy Process)를 이용하여 분석하였다. 중소기업의 기술사업화 애로요인에 대한 선행연구와 전문가 면담을 통해 12개의 주요 항목을 추출하였으며, 요인분석을 통해 이들 12개 항목들을 기술요인, 기업내부요인, 기업외부요인 등 3요인으로 분류하였다. AHP 분석결과, 기업내부요인이 가장 중요한 요인으로 나타났으며, 그 하위항목으로는 '시장 환경'이 가장 중요한 항목으로 파악되었다. 본 연구의 내용과 결과는 공공 연구기관 및 중소기업 지원 기관이 중소기업의 기술사업화 지원 프로그램 기획과 지원 정책을 수립할 때 유용하게 이용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
