Abstract

Although the number of venture start-ups has increased significantly, it is difficult to judge the success or failure based on short-term performance alone. The survival of a company cannot be guaranteed if it does not show sustainable growth prospects. As a growth factor for venture companies, the level of technology commercialization capability and competitive strategies are considered important. Recently, the emergence of innovative business models is creating new opportunities and driving the growth of numerous venture start-ups. This study tried to investigate the mediating effect of business model innovation in the relationship between technology commercialization capability, competitive strategy and the growth prospects of venture companies. For this, empirical analysis was conducted using the original data of the Research on the Precision Status of Venture Firms 2021. As a result, production, manufacturing, marketing capability, cost leadership and product differentiation had a positive(+) effect on growth prospects. The mediating effect of business model innovation between all factors except for manufacturing capacity and growth prospects was verified. This study expanded the scope of research by shedding new light on the factors influencing the long-term growth prospects of venture companies and revealing business model innovation as a new mediating variable. In future research, it is necessary to develop an objective measurement tool and to identify differences according to industrial characteristics.

벤처 창업이 크게 늘었으나 단기 성과로 성공여부를 판단하기는 어려우며, 지속적인 성장 전망을 보여주지 않고서는 기업의 생존을 담보할 수 없다. 벤처기업의 성장 요인으로 기술사업화역량 수준과 경쟁전략에 따른 경쟁력 수준이 중요하게 다루어지는 가운데 최근에는 혁신적인 비즈니스모델의 등장이 새로운 사업기회를 창출하면서 수많은 벤처 스타트업들의 성장을 견인하고 있다. 본 연구는 기술사업화역량 및 경쟁전략이 벤처기업의 성장전망에 미치는 영향관계에서 비즈니스모델 혁신의 매개효과를 규명하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 2021년 벤처기업정밀실태조사 원데이터를 활용하여 실증 분석하였다. 연구 결과, 기술사업화역량의 제품화, 생산화, 마케팅 역량 및 경쟁전략의 원가우위, 차별화 수준은 성장전망에 정(+)의 영향을 미치고, 생산화역량을 제외한 모든 요인과 성장전망 간에 비즈니스모델 혁신의 매개효과도 검증되었다. 본 연구는 단기적 기업성과 외에 장기적 성장전망에 미치는 영향요인을 새롭게 조명하고 비즈니스모델 혁신이라는 새로운 매개변수를 밝히는 등 연구 범위를 확대하였다. 향후 연구에서는 객관적 측정도구의 개발, 산업특성에 따른 차이 규명이 필요할 것으로 보인다.
