Abstract

As noted by Pavitt (1984) and Malerbar (2002), previous studies have focused on identifying differences in industry characteristics between the machinery industry and other manufacturing industries. This study considered quantitative and qualitative aspects of performance of product innovation in analyzing what factors determine those outcomes. In particular, this study examined stepwise selection processes embedded in innovation activities by applying a hurdle negative binomial model as well as the Heckman two-step selection model. Results show that factors affecting performance improvement and patents differ, and the threshold effect and the intensity effect of innovation were also distinguished. These results imply that the R&D capability should be enhanced and external innovation is required to be effectively embodied in the organization. Furthermore, motivating employees plays a pivotal role in this technology and skill-intensive sector.

Pavitt(1984)과 Malerbar(2002)의 지적과 같이 혁신은 산업의 특성에 따라 다른 면모를 갖는다. 이 같은 관점에서 기계산업의 혁신을 다룬 기존 연구들은 주로 전체 제조업과 비교한 산업간 차이를 규명하는 데 초점을 두었다. 기계산업과 같은 기술 숙련집약적 산업에서의 혁신은 특히 다른 산업의 혁신과 상이한 특성과 메커니즘을 가질 것으로 예상되는 반면, 논의는 부족한 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 기계산업의 제품혁신이 어떠한 요인들에 의해 결정되는 지를 다룸에 있어 제품혁신의 성과를 양적 측면과 질적 측면으로 구분해 접근하였고, 특히 Heckman 2단계 모형과 허들음이항 모형을 적용해 기업의 혁신활동에 수반되는 단계적 선택과정을 명시적으로 분석에 반영하였다. 분석 결과, 기계산업의 제품혁신에 있어 제품의 품질 및 성능향상 및 특허에 영향을 미치는 요인은 서로 상이하였으며, 문지방효과와 혁신의 강도 역시 구분되는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 결과적으로 기계산업은 연구개발 역량을 일정 수준 이상 축적하고 외부의 혁신을 효과적으로 조직 내 체화하고, 조직 구성원들에 대한 동기부여가 성과 향상에 중요한 역할을 수행한다고 하겠다.
