Abstract

The use of big data accumulated along with the progress of digitalization is bringing disruptive innovation to the global agricultural industry. Recently, the government is establishing an agricultural big data platform and a support organization. However, in the domestic agricultural industry, the use of big data is insufficient except for some companies in the field of cultivation and growth. In this context, this study identifies factors affecting the intention to use big data in terms of technology, organization and environment, and also confirm the moderating effect of technical field, focusing on agricultural ventures which should be the main entities in creating innovation by using big data. Research data was obtained from 309 agricultural ventures supported by the A+ Center of FACT(Foundation of AgTech Commercialization and Transfer), and was analyzed using IBM SPSS 22.0. As a result, Among technical factors, relative advantage and compatibility were found to have a significant positive (+) effect. Among organizational factors, it was found that management support had a positive (+) effect and cost had a negative (-) effect. Among environmental factors, policy support were found to have a positive (+) effect. As a result of the verification of the moderating effect of technology field, it was found that firms other than cultivation had a moderating effect that alleviated the relationship between all variables other than relative advantage, compatibility, and competitor pressure and the intention to use big data. These results suggest the following implications. First, it is necessary to select a core business that will provide opportunities to generate new profits and improve operational efficiency to agricultural ventures through the use of big data, and to increase collaboration opportunities through policy. Second, it is necessary to provide a big data analysis solution that can overcome the difficulties of analysis due to the characteristics of the agricultural industry. Third, in small organizations such as agricultural ventures, the will of the top management to reorganize the organizational culture should be preceded by a high level of understanding on the use of big data. Fourth, it is important to discover and promote successful cases that can be benchmarked at the level of SMEs and venture companies. Fifth, it will be more effective to divide the priorities of core business and support business by agricultural venture technology sector. Finally, the limitations of this study and follow-up research tasks are presented.

디지털화의 진전과 함께 축적된 빅데이터의 활용은 글로벌 농산업계에 파괴적 혁신을 가져오고 있다. 최근 정부는 농업 빅데이터 플랫폼 구축 및 지원조직 신설 등의 조치를 취하고 있으나 국내 농산업계는 재배생육 분야의 일부기업 외에는 빅데이터 활용이 미흡한 실정이다. 이러한 배경에서 본 연구는 빅데이터를 선도적으로 활용하여 혁신을 창출하는 주체가 되어야 할 농업벤처를 중심으로 기술, 조직, 환경의 맥락에서 빅데이터 활용의도에 영향을 미치는 요인을 규명하고 기술분야에 따른 조절효과를 확인하고자 하였다. 이에 농업기술실용화재단 A+센터의 지원을 받는 농업벤처 309개로부터 연구 데이터를 확보하여 SPSS 22.0을 이용하여 분석하였다. 연구결과, 기술적 요인 중에서는 상대적 이점과 호환성이 유의한 정(+)의 영향을 미치고, 조직적 요인 중에서는 경영층 지원이 정(+)의 영향을, 비용이 부(-)의 영향을 미치며, 환경적 요인 중에서는 정책적 지원이 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 기술분야의 조절효과 검증 결과, 재배생육 외 기업일수록 상대적 이점, 호환성, 경쟁자 압력 외의 모든 변수와 빅데이터 활용의도와의 관계를 완화하는 조절효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과를 통해 다음과 같은 시사점을 제시하였다. 첫째, 빅데이터 활용을 통해 농업벤처에 새로운 수익창출 및 운영효율성 제고 기회를 제공할 핵심사업을 선정하여 정책적으로 협업기회를 늘릴 필요가 있다. 둘째, 농산업 특성으로 인한 분석의 어려움을 극복할 수 있는 빅데이터 분석 솔루션 제공이 필요하다. 셋째, 농업벤처와 같은 소규모 조직에서는 최고경영층의 빅데이터 활용에 대한 높은 이해수준으로부터 출발한 조직문화 재편 의지가 선행되어야 한다. 넷째, 중소·벤처기업 수준에서 벤치마킹할 수 있는 성공사례를 발굴하고 홍보하는 것이 중요하다. 다섯째, 농업벤처 기술분야별로 핵심사업 추진과 지원사업의 우선순위를 나누어 추진하는 것이 보다 효과적일 것으로 판단된다. 마지막으로 본 연구의 한계점과 후속 연구과제를 제시하였다.
