Abstract

Today, innovation is driven by the challenge of existing paradigms and by cooperating with many other fields as well as their own, and thus the importance of open innovation is emphasized. This study analyzed the effect of open innovation on innovation activities and examined the role of organizational innovation in various innovation activities. For the analysis, Korean Innovation Survey (KIS) data from Science and Technology Policy Institute (STEPI) in 2016 was used. A total of 1,453 manufacturing firms were selected as a sample and logistic regression was performed. As a result, R&D cooperation has a positive effect on product innovation as the most representative means to acquire new knowledge and technology, while R&D cooperation has no relation with process innovation. In the case of organizational innovation, it strengthens positive effects of R&D cooperation on both product innovation and process innovation. Organizational change can be explained to play a positive role in new innovation activities, and then firms will need to consider organizational innovation in relation to R&D cooperation. This study is meaningful in that it analyzes the causal relationship and role in relation to various types of innovation, and will contribute to the firms to smoothly perform innovation activities in the future.

오늘날 혁신은 기존의 패러다임에 도전하며 자신의 분야뿐만 아니라 다른 여러 분야와 협력함으로써 이루어지며, 이에 따라 개방형 혁신의 중요성이 강조되고 있다. 본 연구는 개방형 혁신이 혁신 활동에 어떤 영향을 미치는지 분석하였고, 다양한 혁신 활동에서 조직혁신의 역할을 살펴보았다. 분석을 위해 과학기술정책연구원(STEPI)에서 수행한 2016년 한국기업혁신조사(KIS) 데이터를 활용하였고, 총 1,453개 제조업체를 표본으로 선정하여 로지스틱 회귀분석을 수행하였다. 분석 결과, R&D 협력은 새로운 지식이나 기술을 획득하기 위한 가장 대표적인 수단으로써 제품혁신에 긍정적인 영향을 미친 반면, R&D 협력은 공정혁신과는 큰 관련이 없는 것으로 나타났다. 조직혁신의 경우에는 R&D 협력이 제품혁신과 공정혁신에 미치는 긍정적인 영향을 모두 강화하는 것으로 나타나, 조직 변화는 새로운 혁신 활동에 긍정적인 역할을 한다고 설명할 수 있다. 즉, R&D 협력과 관련하여 기업들은 조직혁신을 고려할 필요가 있을 것이다. 본 연구는 다양한 혁신 유형의 인과관계와 역할에 대해 분석한 점에서 의의가 있으며, 향후 기업들이 혁신 활동을 원활히 수행하는데 기여할 것이다.
