Abstract

Firms can make scale of economy and scope of economy by internalizing and using new advanced technology and knowledge from technology cooperation network, decrease risk and cost with partner firm of technology cooperation network, and increase market advantage of product & strengthen firms' position in the market. Due to the advantages of technology cooperation network, the related studies have focused on the positive effect of technology cooperation network. However, the related studies investigating the relationship between technology cooperation network and firm performance have only examined the role of technology cooperation network. Safeguarding mechanism, relationship learning, and relationship performance are categorized into the process of technology cooperation network, and this categorization is applied as resources, capability, and performance by resource based view. The empirical results are reported as belows. First, relationship specific investment and relationship capital positively affect on relationship learning as capability. Second, information sharing, common information understanding, and relationship specific memory development positively affect on long-term orientation, but information sharing has no impact on efficiency and effectiveness. Third, relationship specific investment positively affects on relationship capital and efficiency and effectiveness have positive effects on long-term orientation. Applying technology cooperation network in asymmetric technology dependency with resource based theory, this study suggested the importance of both safeguarding and relationship learning by investigating the relationship among safeguarding, relationship learning, and relationship performance. And it is worthy that this study investigated how firms' behavior change affects relationship performance in the relationship of technology cooperation partner.

기업들은 기술협력 네트워크를 통하여 새로운 고급기술과 지식을 내부화시키고 활용함으로써 규모 및 범위의 경제를 실현할 수 있고, 기술협력 네트워크의 파트너 기업과 위험과 비용을 분담할 수 있으며, 제품의 시장우위를 선점하거나 시장에서의 자사의 위치를 강화할 수 있다. 이러한 기술협력 네트워크의 이점에 근거하여 현재까지 기존의 관련연구들은 일반적으로 기술협력이 기업의 경영성과에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는가에 집중되어왔다. 그러나 기존의 기술협력과 경영성과의 관계를 규명한 연구들은 단지 경영성과에 관한 기술협력 네트워크의 역할을 조명하는데 그친다. 본 연구에서는 기존의 연구들에서 간과된 기술협력 네트워크의 중간과정을 보호 메커니즘, 관계학습, 관계성과로 분류하고, 이를 자원기반이론의 일반적 구조인 자원, 역량, 성과에 각각 적용하였다. 실증분석의 결과는 다음과 같다. 관계특유투자와 관계자본은 역량으로서의 관계학습에 긍정적인 영향을 미치고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 정보교환, 공동의 정보이해, 관계특유 기억개발은 관계지향성에 긍정적인 영향을 나타내고 있으나, 정보교환이 효율성과 효과성에 미치는 유의성은 발견되지 않았다. 셋째, 관계특유투자는 관계자본에 긍정적인 영향을 미치고 있으며, 효율성과 효과성은 장기지향성에 긍정적인 영향을 미치고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 비대칭적인 기술의존 구조를 형성하는 기술협력 네트워크 관계에서 자원기반이론에 입각하여 기존의 연구들이 간과하고 있는 보호 메커니즘, 관계학습, 관계성과의 역할을 규명함으로써 보호 메커니즘과 관계학습의 중요성을 제시하였다. 또한 협력 파트너와의 관계에서 기업의 어떠한 행동변화를 유발함으로써 관계성과에 도달하는가를 살펴봄으로써 보호 메커니즘은 기술협력 파트너와의 관계학습을 통해 관계성과에 영향을 제공할 수 있다는 점을 분석하는데 의의가 있다고 볼 수 있겠다.
