Abstract

In this study, we identify the obstacles that occur through the relationship between I-U cooperation and look for factors that can overcome them in the 'university administration's efforts' and 'Trust between I-U'. In the study of existing I-U cooperation, the relationship between industry and university has accumulated experiences and various channels of bilateral cooperation by sustaining interactions and absorbing capacity of knowledge by path dependence. However, as cooperation increases, 'I-U cooperation barrier' are inevitable, which is explained by two perspectives: 'Difference in mutual recognition' and 'Institutional barriers'. In order to induce the achievement of effective I-U cooperation, it is necessary to overcome these obstacles stemming from mutual relations, and it will be possible to maintain the relationship of continuous I-U cooperation. The researchers conducted research on companies participating in the I-U cooperation technology development project of the 'Ministry of Small and Medium Venture Business', which is a representative I-U cooperation program in Korea. This project will be promoted in the 'Small & Medium Business I-U cooperation Center', an administration-dedicated organization of the university. The researchers measure 'University administration's efforts' and 'Trust between I-U'to overcome'I-U cooperation barrier' In order to clarify the data of the research sample, a questionnaire survey of organizational units was conducted for all companies participating in the 'I-U cooperation technology development projects' of the SMEs and Startups between 2011 and 2015, and the responses of 356 organizations were drawn. The results showed that the higher the level of 'University administration's efforts' and Trust between I-U', the lower 'Difference in mutual recognition' and 'Institutional barriers'. Particularly, it showed higher explanatory power to overcome 'Institutional barriers' among obstacles. Therefore, it should be accompanied by the interest, implementation and institutional support of I-U-R subjects to raise the level of these two factors that can overcome 'I-U cooperation barrier'.

본 연구에서는 산학협력의 관계를 통해 발생하는 장애를 확실하게 이해하고 이의 극복 요인을 대학행정 노력과 산학간 신뢰에서 찾아본다. 기존의 산학협력 연구에서, 산과 학 양자간의 관계는 지속적인 상호작용을 통해 협력에 대한 다양한 채널의 폭과 누적된 경험을 가지게 된다. 하지만 협력이 누적될수록 '상호인식의 차','제도적 장벽'의 두 가지 관점으로 설명되는 산학협력 장애는 필연적으로 발생한다. 상호간의 관계에서 비롯된 이러한 장애를 극복해야만 효과적인 산학협력 성과를 유도하고 지속적인 산학협력 관계를 유지할 수 있을 것이다. 연구자는 대학행정 노력 및 산학간 신뢰가 산학협력장애를 극복하는지를 측정하기 위하여, 대학의 전담행정조직인 '중소기업산학협력센터'를 통해 사업을 추진하는 국내의 대표적 산학협력프로그램인 중소벤처기업부의 산학연협력기술개발사업에 참여한 기업을 대상으로 연구를 진행하였다. 연구 표본의 명확성을 기하기 위하여 사업이 종료된 2011년과 2015년 사이에 본 사업에 참여한 모든 기업을 대상으로 조직단위의 설문 조사를 실시하여 오류 응답을 제외한 356개의 응답을 받아냈다. 연구결과, 대학행정 노력수준과 산학간 신뢰가 높을수록 산학협력 장애요인인 상호인식의 차이와 제도적 장벽은 낮아지는 것으로 나타났으며, 특히 장애요인 중 제도적 장벽을 극복하는 데에 더 높은 설명력을 보였다. 따라서 산학협력장애를 극복할 수 있는 이 두 가지 요인의 수준을 높이기 위한 산학연관 주체의 관심과 실행 및 제도적 뒷받침이 뒤따라야 할 것이다.
