초록

기업의 생존력과 경쟁력을 위하여 기술혁신을 지속적이고 장기적으로 추구하고 추진하려는 기업의 전반적인 사고방향을 나타내는 기술혁신지향성의 중요성이 대두하고 있다. 기술혁신지향성이 기업의 지속적인 경쟁우위 확보에 개념적으로나 실무적으로 중요한 의미를 내포하고 있지만, 기업의 성공적인 기술혁신과 성과를 위한 기술혁신지향성의 역할에 대한 체계적인 연구는 현재까지 제한적으로 수행되어 왔다. 기술혁신지향성에 대한 기존 연구의 미비점을 인지하여, 본 연구에서는 기술혁신지향성에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 기업 내외부의 핵심적인 요인들을 선택하여, 선행요인들과 기술혁신지향성 및 기술혁신지향성 사이의 상황관계를 나타내는 연구모델과 가설들을 제안하고 이를 실증분석 하였다. 제안된 연구모델에서 선택된 기술혁신지향성의 선행요인들은 최고경영자의 기술기능 직무경력과 기능 간 상호통합(cross-functional integration)의 두 내부요인과 환경 불확실성과 경쟁강도의 두 외부요인을 포함하였고 이 요인들이 결과적으로 기술혁신지향성을 매개로 기업의 기술혁신성과에 영향을 미치는 것으로 제시하였다. 또한 이 연구모델에서는 환경 불확실성과 경쟁강도의 두 환경요인이 기술혁신지향성과 기술혁신성과 사이의 관계를 긍정적으로 조절하는 효과를 갖는 것으로 제시하였다. 86개의 국내 IT중소기업을 대상으로 분석한 결과, 최고경영자의 기술기능 직무경력, 기능 간 상호통합, 그리고 환경 불확실성이 기업의 기술혁신지향성에 긍정적인 영향을 미치고 기술혁신지향성이 기업의 기술혁신성과에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 환경 불확실성은 기업의 기술혁신지향성과 기술혁신성과간의 관계를 긍정적으로 조절하는 효과를 갖는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구결과가 제시하는 이론적, 실무적 시사점의 중요성에 대해서 논의하였다.

The importance of technological innovation orientation, which denotes the firm's general direction of thought toward steadily pursuing and promoting technological innovation in the long run for its viability and competitiveness, is on the rise. Although the technological innovation orientation has conceptually and practically important implications for securing the firm's sustainable competitive advantage, to date there has been limited research systematically analyzing the role of the technological innovation orientation for the firm's successful technological innovation and performance. Recognizing such deficiency in previous research regarding technological innovation orientation, this study selected internal and external critical factors which might affect the technological innovation orientation, and proposed and empirically examined a research model and hypotheses demonstrating the contingency relationships among the antecedent factors, technological innovation orientation and technological innovation performance. In the proposed research model, the selected antecedents of technological innovation orientation included two internal factors of CEO's technical-function experience and cross-functional integration and two external factors of environmental uncertainty and intensity of competition, and eventually it was suggested that these antecedent factors affected the firm's technological innovation performance via the technological innovation orientation. In addition, the research model suggested that the two environmental factors of environmental uncertainty and intensity of competition had a positive moderation effect on the relationship between technological innovation orientation and technological innovation performance. Analysis of data on sample of 86 Korean IT SMEs showed that CEO's technical-function experience, cross-functional integration and environmental uncertainty had a positive impact on the firm's technological innovation orientation and that the technological innovation orientation positively influenced the firm's technological innovation performance. The results also revealed that environmental uncertainty positively moderated the relationship between the firm's technological innovation orientation and technological innovation performance. The theoretical and practical implications for the results of this study were discussed.
