Abstract

This study considered technology commercialization as a sort of external R&D of the licensee firm. Then, this study analyzed industrial characteristics of technology commercialization and interactions between internal R&D and technology commercialization from the licensee's viewpoint. Data from NTIS (National science and Technology Information Service) and KED (Korea Enterprise Database) were matched. 7,645 technology commercializations from 1,980 firms were extracted. Afterward, OLS and quantile regression were applied to the extracted data. The impact of technology commercialization on firm growth was concentrated to few high-tech and medium high-tech firms. Technology commercialization was effective in the growth in a year while internal R&D was effective in the growth in two years. The firm size was insiginificant variable. In analysis of 4 selected industries (automobile, electronics, semiconductor, chemistry), the impact was skewed among industries. Though the importance of technology commercialization is widely acknowledged, quantitative analyses like this study are uncommon. Therefore, this study can be useful for the tailored industry solutions for technology commercialization.

본 연구에서는 개방형 혁신 개념을 활용하여 공공기술이전을 기업의 외부 R&D의 일환으로 간주한 뒤 기술수요기업의 관점에서 공공기술이전의 산업별 특성과 내부 R&D와의 상호작용에 대해 탐구하였다. NTIS 기술료 데이터와 한국기업정보 데이터를 매칭한 뒤 2008년부터 2011년까지 일어난 1,980개 기업의 7,645개 기술이전 자료를 추출, 회귀분석과 분위회귀분석을 실시하였다. 그 동안 기업이 공공기술이전으로부터 얻는 효과가 정성적으로 다루어져 왔으나, 본 연구에서는 산업과 기업의 특성에 따른 효과의 편차를 연구하기 위하여 정량적인 DB를 구축하고 통계적 분석을 시행하였다. 분석 결과 기술이전이 매출성장에 가하는 효과는 중고위기술과 고위기술 분야의 일부 기업들에게 편중되는 경향이 있었다. 또한 기간별(1 2 3년 후) 매출의 경우 기술이전은 기술이전 다음해의 매출에 주로 영향을 주지만, 내부 R&D의 효과는 주로 2년 후의 매출에 집중되어 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 또한 OECD 기술집약도 기준 산업분류와 4개 지정 산업군(자동차, 전자, 반도체, 화학)별로 공공기술이전의 효과에 편차가 있는 것으로 나타났으나, 기업 크기별로는 효과에 유의한 차이가 없었다.
