Abstract

The business environment changing very fast with technology advance and convergence makes the role of R&D become more and more important to firms' success. By analyzing the 683 firm-level data of small and medium venture firms with the ordinary least squares regression, this study sheds new light on the following four points. First, small and medium venture firms' exterior R&D collaboration network heterogeneity positively impacts their import substitution from technology development. Second, the existence of the corporate R&D center moderates the positive impact of small and venture firms' exterior R&D collaboration network heterogeneity on their import substitution from technology development. Third, small and venture firms' exterior R&D information network heterogeneity positively impacts their import substitution from technology development. Fourth, The existence of the corporate R&D center moderates the positive influence of small and venture firms' exterior R&D information network heterogeneity on their import substitution from technology development.

기술 진보 및 융합과 함께 매우 빠르게 변화하는 사업 환경은 기업의 성공에 있어서 연구개발(R&D)의 역할을 더욱 더 중요하게 하고 만들고 있다. 본 연구는 기업 수준의 683개 중소 벤처기업 데이터를 대상으로 최소 자승 회귀분석을 실시하여 다음과 같은 4가지 주요 사항을 새롭게 조명한다. 첫째, 중소 벤처기업의 외부 R&D 협력 네트워크의 다양성은 기술 개발로 인한 수입 대체에 정(+)의 영향을 준다. 둘째, 기업 부설 연구소의 존재는 중소 벤처기업의 외부 R&D 협력 네트워크의 다양성이 기술 개발로 인한 수입 대체에 주는 양(+)의 영향을 조절한다. 셋째, 중소 벤처기업의 외부 R&D 정보 네트워크의 다양성은 기술 개발로 인한 수입 대체에 정(+)의 영향을 미친다. 넷째, 기업 부설 연구소의 존재는 중소 벤처기업의 외부 R&D 정보 네트워크의 다양성이 기술 개발로 인한 수입 대체에 주는 양(+)의 영향을 조절한다.
