Abstract

The existing innovation policies and strategies mainly focused on the influencing factors for improvement of innovation outcome. However, these strategies were not always successful in driving innovative activities that make technology innovation disseminated. In this regard, innovation ecosystems approach has recently been coming to the force to establish a successful innovation strategy. The innovation ecosystems concept describes that innovation processes are evolved through collaborative networks of economic actors. In an innovation ecosystem, different organizations collaborate for technology development and its use. They interact for value co-creation by sharing mutual resources. The organizational networks are re-organized by dynamic changes of actors' interactions, which drive innovation mechanism of the networks. Recent studies on innovation ecosystems mostly have paid attention on developing theoretical frameworks to describe dynamics of an innovation ecosystem. There have hardly been empirical tests on the theoretical ecosystem models. In this vein, we investigated dynamics of an innovation ecosystem by analyzing structural characteristics of a collaborative network among organizations which are involved in the use of innovative technologies. Particularly, we examined the longitudinal changes of the interaction patterns among the organizations. This test was performed by an analysis of structural equivalence on the network dataset transformed from the organizational interactions. This result provides a guideline for an organization in developing an innovation strategy under a systemic perspective.

산업과 지역의 혁신성과를 높이기 위한 기존의 정책이나 전략들은 지속적인 혁신 활동을 이끌어내고 기술혁신을 확산시키는 데는 한계가 있었다. 이에 대한 대안으로 최근에 혁신생태계가 떠오르고 있다. 이는 혁신 과정에 관련된 주체들의 상호작용이 지속적으로 변화하면서 혁신이 확산된다고 설명한다. 그러나 이 분야의 관련 연구들은 대부분 이론적 프레임웍을 제시하는데 그치고 있으며, 생태계의 구조적 동태성을 실증한 연구는 거의 없다. 본 연구는 산업생태계의 기술혁신에 따른 구조적 동태성을 실증하기 위해 산업기술의 활용을 둘러싼 기업 협력 네트워크에 대해 종단적 네트워크 분석을 수행하였다. 실증분석을 위해 기업 간 상호작용을 네트워크 데이터로 작성하여 구조적 등위성 분석을 실시하였다. 분석 결과에 따르면, 기술혁신의 확산과 관련된 기업 간 상호작용의 변화는 크게 세 가지의 패턴으로 요약된다. 즉, 기술 활용 방식의 제도화, 규모의 경제에 의한 혁신 확산, 기술 개방에 의한 롱테일 가치창출의 산업 구조가 만들어지면서 기술혁신의 성공적 확산이 가능해진다고 할 수 있다. 본 연구는 기술의 상업적 확산을 위한 기술활용 네트워크의 구성 및 기술혁신 관리에 있어 전략적 시사점을 제시하며, 지역혁신을 위한 전략 수립 시 활용될 수 있을 것이다.
