Abstract

The purpose of this study is to confirm whether the current technology appraisal model for investment, which is designed to identify high-growth SMEs in sales, which is one of the characteristics of gazelle companies, has the possibility of expanding employment effects. For SMEs classified as technology investment adequate firms(TI1-TI6) through technology appraisal for investment between 2016 and 2018 were targeted. At this time, the employment effect was analyzed by dividing the absolute employment effect and the relative employment effect. As a result of the analysis, it was confirmed that the technology appraisal items for investment defined as innovation characteristics did not have significant explanatory power for the absolute employment effect. However, for the relative employment effect, among innovation characteristics, technicality(TC) was found to have significant explanatory power, and this is because the item appraised based on future growth potential. In particular, the relative employment effect is meaningful in terms of the actual employment effect, and the conclusion is drawn that the current technology appraisal model for investment is an appraisal model with the possibility of expansion in terms of employment effect.

본 연구는 가젤기업의 특성 중 하나인 매출액 고성장 기업 판별을 목표변수로 설계된 현재의 투자용 기술평가 모형이 가젤기업의 또 다른 특성인 고용효과에 대해서도 확장 가능성이 있는지를 확인하는데 목적이 있다. 2016년~2018년 투자용 기술평가를 통해 기술투자 적합기업(TI1~TI6등급)으로 분류된 중소기업을 대상으로 공분산 분석과 다변량 회귀분석을 통해 절대적 고용효과와 상대적 고용효과를 구분하여 분석하였다. 공분산 분석 결과 기술투자등급(TI등급)이 우수할수록 절대적 고용효과와 상대적 고용효과가 우수한 것으로 확인되었다. 그러나 다변량 회귀분석 결과 절대적 고용효과에 대해서는 혁신 특성으로 정의한 투자용 기술평가 항목이 고용효과에 유의한 영향을 미치지 못하는 것으로 나타났다. 반면, 상대적 고용효과와 관련해서는 혁신 특성 중 기술성이 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 확인되었으며, 이는 기술성이 평가 대상기업의 미래 성장성을 기준으로 평가하는 특성이 반영된 것에 기인한다고 판단된다. 특히, 상대적 고용효과의 경우 업력에 따른 체감효과로 인한 왜곡이 적은 실질적 고용효과라는 점에서 의미가 있으며, 현재의 투자용 기술평가 모형은 평가항목의 가중치 조정 등을 통해 향후 상대적 고용효과의 관점에서 확장 가능성이 있는 평가모형이라는 결론을 도출하였다.
