Abstract

Technology commercialization is a reward process for companies' various trials and investment to develop technologies, which can be regarded as a way to figure out company's business performance. To successfully attain companies' purpose via technology commercialization, a variety of knowledge which triggers and completes business activities are needed. This paper suggests a methodology to analyze problems and solutions around the technology commercialization process in terms of knowledge distribution status, especially focused on Korean SMC cases. The knowledge map of this paper is constructed from the knowledge networks and identifies problems and solutions of the target process. A case study for applying proposed concepts to SMC's cases is also performed by checking knowledge distribution status and extracting practical implications. This paper's ideas can be regarded as one of references for SMCs to prepare technology commercialization with guaranteeing facilitated knowledge distribution and utilization.

기술사업화는 기업이 기술개발을 위해 투입한 다양한 노력에 대한 보상의 과정으로, 기업기술개발 활동의 성과를 판단하는 매우 중요한 근거로 간주될 수 있다. 기술사업화의 극대화된 성과 창출을 위하여 많은 지식이 요구되는데, 이러한 지식은 기술사업화 프로세스를 구성하는 세부업무를 유도 및 완성하는 의미를 갖는다. 본 연구는, 대기업에 비해 상대적으로 열악한 상황에 있는, 우리나라 중소기업 기술사업화 프로세스의 문제점과 개선안을 지식 유통 관점에서 도출하는 방법론을 제시한다. 즉, 지식 네트워크를 표현하는 지식지도를 이용하여, 기술사업화 세부업무별 지식흐름 현황을 분석하고 문제점과 개선안을 도출한다. 또한 제시된 방법론을 실제 중소기업에 적용하여, 기업별 기술사업화 프로세스의 지식 유통 현황을 점검하고 시사점을 도출하는 사례연구를 진행한다. 본 연구의 결과물은 보다 원활한 지식의 유통을 보장하는 중소기업 기술사업화 방안과 프로세스 모델의 참고서로 활용될 수 있다.
