Abstract

This study emphasizes that the survival strategy of universities should be a co-evolution strategy based on ecological thinking. Therefore, the purpose of the research is to present a theoretical framework for dividing the university innovation ecosystem into four stages and building a co-evolution strategy for each step, as universities play a prominent role in regional innovation ecosystems. Thus, our research method focused on literature research, and the theoretical framework for the university innovation ecosystem used Moore's Enterprise Ecosystem Model (1996). The university's ecological innovation strategy is divided into four stages of development, and a step-by-step co-evolution strategy is presented. Findings are summarized as follows. The pioneering stage involves the creation of values of the university-led innovation ecosystem. The expansion stage focuses on the establishment of critical mass. The authority stage covers maintaining authority and bargaining power. The renewal stage features continuous performance improvement. In particular, this theoretical model of the university-regional innovation ecosystem is meaningful in that it provides a theoretical basis for enhancing the effectiveness of government financial support projects, and for individual universities, it provides a framework for strategies suitable for their ecosystem building process.

대학이 직면하고 있는 생존환경을 고려할 때, 대학의 생존전략은 생태계적 사고에 기반 하는 공진화 전략구축이 되어야 함을 이 연구는 강조한다. 따라서 대학은 지역혁신생태계의 핵심역할을 수행하기 위한 전략구축이 요청되는 바, 대학혁신생태계를 네 단계로 구분하고, 각 단계별 공진화전략을 구축하는 이론적 틀을 제시하는 것을 연구 목적으로 한다. 따라서 연구방법은 이론적 문헌연구에 초점을 두었으며, 대학혁신생태계 논리구축의 이론적 프레임워크는 Moore의 기업생태계 연구 모형(1996)을 원용 하였다. 대학의 생태계혁신전략은 네 개의 발전단계로 구분하고, 단계별 공진화 전략을 제시한다. 개척단계에서 대학의 공진화전략은 대학주도 혁신생태계의 가치창조를, 확장단계에서는 임계치 확보, 권위단계에서는 권위와 교섭력 지속, 마지막 쇄신단계에서는 성과의 지속적 개선을 제시하였다. 특히 대학의 혁신생태계 구축 및 확산의 가능성은 지역산업과 정부정책과의 연동성과 적실성을 강조하였다. 이러한 대학-지역 혁신생태계 모형은 정부 재정지원사업의 효과성을 제고할 수 있는 이론적 근거를 제시하였다는 측면에서, 그리고 개별 대학에게는 자신의 생태계구축 단계에 적합한 공진화 전략을 위한 틀을 제공한다는 측면에서 연구의 의의가 있다.
