초록

본 연구에서는 중소벤처기업의 기술혁신역량과 신제품개발성과가 상호 인과관계가 있음을 밝히고, 기술혁신역량을 강화하기 위한 수단으로 협업을 도입하면 신제품개발성과가 향상됨을 규명하였다. 연구방법으로는 국내 소재 중소벤처기업 R&D업무에 종사하는 실무담당자들을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였다. 연구결과, 중소 벤처기업의 기술혁신역량에 속하는 기술전략, 기술학습, 그리고 개방형 혁신이 신제품개발성과에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 즉 신제품개발성과에 미치는 다수의 핵심전략으로서 협업을 선택한 결과, 협업이 신제품개발성과에 영향을 주는 전략임을 규명하였다. 아울러 협업을 도입하면 기술혁신역량이 신제품개발성과를 강화하는데 조절역할을 하는 지도 함께 살펴보았는데, 일반적인 협업은 기술전략 강화에는 직접적인 영향을 미치지 않지만, 협업에 따라서는 기술전략과 개방형 혁신이 강화되어 신제품개발성과의 크기에 긍정적인 영향을 주는 것으로 평가되었다.

This study is intended to determine that there is a casual relationship between technological innovation capability and new product development performance in small and mid-sized venture companies, and that the introduction of collaboration as a means to step up technological innovation capability will improve new product development performance. To achieve this, a survey was carried out to employees who are engaged in R&D work for small and mid-sized venture companies based in Korea, and the results were analyzed by regression analysis. The findings showed that technology strategy, technology learning and open innovation belonging to technological innovation capability in small and mid-sized venture companies had an effect on new product development performance. In other words, the selection of collaboration as a wider array of core strategies on new product development performance showed that collaboration was a strategy affecting new product development performance. In addition, the moderating role of technological innovation capability in boosting new product development performance through the introduction of collaboration showed that common collaboration had a positive effect on stepping up technology strategy, and collaboration as a core strategy had a positive effect on the size of new product development performance by strengthening technology strategy and open innovation.
