- Abstract
- This study investigated the effects of technical collaboration on the financial performance of technology-based startup enterprises located in industrial parks in China. Enterprises within the same industrial park are geographically close and have a relatively free exchange of talent, allowing for the rapid spread of information. Industrial parks provide favorable conditions for technical collaboration and technology transfer between enterprises making them a suitable context for this study.
While a lot of literature on the topic of technical collaboration exists, few studies have adequately examined the actual effects of collaboration on performance. To do so, this paper asks: Does technical collaboration affect startup performance? What is the relationship between technical collaboration and technology transfer? How does technology transfer affect startup performance? What is the mediating effect of technology transfer on technical collaboration and startup performance?
To address these research problems, we analyzed the results of 501 questionnaires and formulated the following hypotheses.
1.Technical collaboration between technology-based startups has a positive impact on entrepreneurial performance.
2.Technical collaboration between technology-based startups has a positive impact on technology transfer.
3.Technology transfer between technology-based startups has a positive impact on entrepreneurial performance.
4.The technology transfer between technology-based startups has a mediating effect between technical collaboration and entrepreneurial performance.
Using the Bootstrap method with statistical analysis, correlation analysis, reliability and validity analysis, the results upheld all four hypotheses. The conventional wisdom that technical collaboration between enterprises can drive innovation and that these external resources can be an important complement to the internal innovation processes of an enterprise was thus confirmed through empirical analysis.
본 논문은 중국내 주요 산업단지에 있는 기술 스타트 업을 대상으로 기술협력이 이들 기업의 재무성과에 미치는 영향을 분석했다. 같은 산업 단지 내 기업들은 지리적 위치가 가깝고 인재 교류가 쉬워 정보 전파가 신속하다. 때문에 산업단지는 기업간 기술이전을 포함한 기술협력에 유리한 조건을 제공한다.
기존 연구는 효과적인 기술협력을 유도하기에는 한계가 있다. 본 논문은 다음과 같은 몇 가지 문제를 연구한다. 기술 협력이 창업실적에 영향을 미치는가? 기술협력과 기술이전 간의 관계는 어떤 것인가? 기술이전이 창업실적에 어떻게 영향을 미치는가? 기술이전이 기술협력과 창업실적에서의 매개효과는 어떻게 나타나는가?
본 논문은 문헌 연구와 설문조사를 결합했다. 501개 기업에 대한 설문조사 연구와 통계분석을 통해 본 연구는 다음과 같은 가설을 설정했다.
1.기술형 스타트업 간의 기술협력은 창업실적에 긍정적인 영향을 미친다. 2. 기술형 창업 기업 간의 기술협력은 기술이전에 긍정적인 영향을 미친다. 3. 기술형 창업 기업 간의 기술이전은 창업실적에 긍정적인 영향을 미친다. 4. 기술형 창업 기업 간의 기술이전은 기술협력과 창업실적 사이에 매개효과가 존재한다.
데이터 분석에 있어 본 연구는 서술적 통계분석, 상관분석, 신뢰도와 타당도 검증을 통해 주로 Bootstrap법으로 연구 가설에 대해 실증 검증을 실시하여 다음과 같은 연구 결론을 얻었다. 기술형 스타트업 간의 기술협력은 창업 실적에 정(+)의 영향을 미친다. 기술형 스타트업 간의 기술협력은 기술이전에 정(+)의 영향을 미친다. 기술형 스타트업 간의 기술이전은 창업실적에 정(+)의 영향을 미친다. 기술형 스타트업 간의 기술이전은 기술협력과 창업실적 사이에 매개효과가 존재한다.
기업 간의 기술 협업이 기업 내부의 혁신을 추진할 수 있고 이런 외부 자원은 기업 내부 혁신 과정의 중요한 보완재가 될 수 있다는 통설을 실증 분석을 통해 입증했다.
