Abstract

This study started from the point that the most important SMEs in the economic growth engine of Korea are prepared to grow through innovation. This study focuses on the fact that existing studies have focused on the open innovation of SMEs has been continued since the external knowledge search became an important concept, but mainly focused on the enterprise performance. The purpose of this study is to examine the moderating effect of innovation speed focusing on exports to Korean SMEs. The hypothesis suggests the depth and breadth of external knowledge search, which is the two methods of open innovation emphasized in the previous studies, and then shows the innovation speed on export performance as a moderating effect. Robust regression analysis was used for the analysis and the sample used for the analysis was valid 1,357 SMEs data. The hypothesis test for the moderation effect was performed by comparing the F-values between models. The proposed hypothesis was adopted and the moderation effect was verified.

본 연구는 우리나라 경제성장 동력에서 가장 중요한 중소기업이 혁신을 통해 성장할 수 있는 방안을 마련하는 점에서 출발하게 되었다. 중소기업은 대기업과 다르게 성장의 한계를 가지고 있지만, 우리나라 특성상 수출에 크게 의존하고 있으므로 성장을 위해서는 수출을 끊임없이 증가시켜야 한다. 따라서 한국 중소기업의 수출 증가를 위해서 본 연구는 우리나라 중소기업의 개방형 혁신과 수출 간의 관계를 다루고 있으며, 그 핵심역할로 혁신속도를 강조하였다. 외부지식탐색이 중요한 개념으로 대두된 이후로 중소기업의 개방형 혁신에 관련한 연구가 계속되어 왔지만 주로 기업성과에 중점을 둔 것에 착안하여 한국 중소기업이 한 단계 성장할 수 있는 방안을 수출에 초점을 맞추고 혁신속도가 가지는 조절효과를 검증하고자 하였다. 가설은 기존 연구에서 강조한 개방형 혁신의 두 방식인 외부지식탐색의 깊이와 폭을 제시한 뒤 수출성과에 대한 혁신속도를 조절효과로 제시하였다. 분석방법은 로버스트 회귀분석을 활용하였으며, 분석에 사용된 표본은 1,357개의 유효한 중소기업 자료를 이용하였다. 조절효과에 대한 가설검증은 각 모델간 F값 비교를 실시하였으며 그림으로 이해하기 쉽도록 도표로 제시하였다. 제시된 가설은 채택되었으며 조절효과도 검증된 것으로 나타났다.
