Abstract

New companies expecting market penetration by adopting technology commercialization process could face high uncertainty and constraints. In particular, ICT-based firms that enter competitive markets must deal with more complex situations. Although in-depth research has been done to solve the problem, there is still a lack of understanding of how startups' technology commercialization process is successful. To discuss the issue, this paper presents the technology commercialization model and determinants.(policy, finance, work team, organizational culture, overcoming the difficulties etc.) the suitability of the framework. From this analysis it emerged that the sustainability of organizational capabilities is as important as the adherence to the technology commercialization process for companies. As the organizational capacity has decreased, the driving force for technology commercialization has weakened. Therefore, the technology commercialization process does not guarantee the success of the market entry but is understood as a means of market access. If the organizational capacity is not strengthened, there is no successful technology commercialization process.

기술사업화 과정을 통해서 시장에 진입하는 신생기업은 높은 불확실성에 직면한다. 특히 경쟁시장에 진출하는 ICT관련 기업은 더욱 복잡한 상황을 처리해야 한다. 불확실성 해결을 위한 심도 있는 연구가 이루어졌지만 기업의 사업화 프로세스에 대한 이해는 여전히 부족하다. 논의를 위해서 본 연구는 기술사업화 모델과 결정요인을 (정책, 재무, 작업 팀, 조직 문화, 어려움 극복 등) 제시한다. 연구대상은 연구개발특구의 연구기관에서 기술을 이전받은 ICT 관련 스핀오프 기업이다. 연구결과는 조직역량의 지속성이 기술사업화프로세스의 준수만큼 중요하다는 사실이 나타났다. 조직역량이 줄어들 때 기술사업화의 추진동력 또한 약해지는 결과가 나타났기 때문이다. 따라서 기술사업화 프로세스는 시장 진입의 성공을 보장하는 것이 아니며 시장 접근의 수단으로 이해된다. 조직역량의 강화가 이루어지지 않으면 성공적인 기술사업화 프로세스도 존재하지 않는 것이다.
