Abstract

This study examines each factor's effects on the firm's innovation method selection by comparing with EU countries and suggests policy implications for improving firm's innovation capabilities, confirming the changes with the latest data. We used similar data and model for this, and as a result, Korea is located between intermediate group and catching-up group in 2005. In 2014, we found partially positive changes; increase in R&D cost ratio along innovation expenditure, conducting in-house innovation, and R&D in high-tech sector. Therefore, it is required to support innovation expenditure and complement the system for high-tech firms, those that apply patent or conduct industry-university/government research institute linkage in order to improve innovation capabilities.

본 연구는 각각의 혁신역량 요소가 기업의 혁신방법 선택에 미치는 영향을 EU 국가와 비교함으로써 국내 제조기업의 기술수준을 파악하고, 최신 자료를 통해 그 변화를 살펴 혁신역량 제고를 위한 정책적 시사점을 도출하고자 한다. 이를 위해 유사한 데이터와 모형으로 분석하였으며 그 결과, 2005년 한국은 대략 EU의 부진국가와 중간국가 사이에 위치하며, 2014년에는 혁신비용지출에 따른 연구개발비 비중의 증가, 내부혁신활동 수행, 고기술업종의 연구개발 선택 등 혁신역량이 일부 개선된 모습을 보였다. 따라서 혁신역량제고를 위해서는 기업의 혁신비용지출에 대한 지원과 고기술기업, 특허출원 및 산학연 협력을 실시하는 기업을 위한 제도적 보완이 필요할 것으로 보인다.
