중소기업의 내부역량과 정부지원제도가 수출성과에 미치는 영향

Abstract

This study examines the effects of internal capabilities on export performance for Busan, Ulsan and Gyeongnam SMEs(Small and Medium sized Enterprises) in Busan. There are various government support systems in Korea to promote the export of SMEs by the central government such as SMBA(Small and Medium Business Administration) and the export promotion agencies such as SBC(Small and medium Business Corporation), KOTRA(Korea Trade-investment Promotion Agency), etc. However, since such systems are not widely known, most of the SMEs cannot enjoy the benefits of them. On basis of a literature review, this study suggests that the SMEs capabilities and entrepreneurship positively impact on the export performance. In addition, this study proposes that government support system moderates the relationship between the SMEs' capabilities and export performances. This study was conducted in order to verify the hypotheses, with 148 samples obtained through online and offline surveys of SMEs based in Busan, Ulsan and Gyeongnam. The main results of this study are as follows : First, government support system positively moderates the relationship between network capability and export performance by the hierarchichal regression analysis. Second, R&D capability and entrepreneurship are generally supported. This study discusses the theoretical and managerial implications, and provides suggestions.
