Abstract

This study has attempted to empirically analyze the mediating effects of small and medium venture firms' manufacturing capability and testing and inspection capability on the relation between their external information network heterogeneity and technology commercialization capability with a view to diversifying the research stream on the influential factors to small and medium firms' technology commercialization capability. By performing the ordinary least squares regression analysis, the Sobel test, and the Baron and Kenny test based on the 683 data of South Korean small and medium venture firms with the IBM SPSS version 23, this study provides the three empirical findings to be useful for future studies on the roles of small and medium venture firms' the manufacturing capability and testing and inspection capability. First, small and medium venture firms' manufacturing capability partially mediates the positive effect of their external information network heterogeneity on their technology commercialization capability. Second, their testing and inspection capability partially mediates this positive effect. Third, their manufacturing capability and testing and inspection capability jointly and partially mediates this positive effect.

본 연구는 중소기업의 기술 사업화 역량에 영향을 미치는 요인들에 대한 연구의 흐름을 다양화하기 위해 중소벤처 기업의 제조 역량과 시험 및 검사 역량이 외부 정보 네트워크의 다양성과 기술 사업화 역량 사이의 관계에 미치는 매개 효과를 실증 분석하였다. IBM SPSS 23을 사용하여 한국의 683개 중소벤처기업에 대해 실시한 최소자승 회귀분석, Sobel 검정과 Baron 및 Kenny 검정 결과를 통해 본 연구는 중소기업의 제조 역량과 시험 및 검사 역량의 역할에 대한 후속 연구에 유용한 세 가지 실증 분석 결과를 제공한다. 첫째, 중소벤처기업의 제조 역량은 중소벤처기업의 외부 정보 네트워크의 다양성이 기술 사업화 역량에 미치는 양(+)의 효과를 부분 매개하는 것으로 분석되었다. 둘째, 중소벤처기업의 시험 및 검사 역량은 이러한 양(+)의 효과를 부분 매개하는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 셋째, 중소기업의 제조 역량과 시험 및 검사 역량은 이러한 양(+)의 효과를 공동으로 부분 매개하는 것으로 분석되었다.
