Recently, the government has provided support such as entering new markets, expanding sales channels, and supporting manpower, not just in the form of funding, to efficiently and effectively support limited national resources to improve corporate performance. In this study, we tried to find out the effect of government support for companies that have benefited from the Excellent Technology Research Center Project (ATC Project) and the World Class 300 project using propensity score matching. As a result of the analysis, the effect of government support for the ATC project became visible after the appointment period, while the effect of the World Class 300 project was insignificant. This means that when the size of the company is small, the effect of government support is more pronounced. This suggests that in order to maximize the effectiveness of government support, appropriate national policy interventions such as government innovation funding are needed when the size of the company is small. In this study, differences in the timing, performance indicators, and company size of policy support effects were found in the growth stage of a company from a mid- to long-term time series perspective, suggesting that support policies based on this need to be adjusted and redesigned.

The purpose of this research was to test the effects of technological innovation capability and technology commercialization capability on new product performance of the companies in electronics industry and the moderating role of perceived usefulness of government R&D support. For this study, Research data were collected through questionnaire instruments from the sample of 346 employees in 17 electronics companies of metropolitan area. The 305 sample was selected and analyzed by hierarchical regression technique. The results showed that technological innovation capability and technology commercialization capability had a positive effect on new product performance. And also found out perceived usefulness of government R&D support had the moderate roles between only technical innovation system our of three technological innovation capability factors and new product performance, and also between only manufacturing capability our of three technological commercialization capability factors and new product performance. With the research results, the implications for electronics company were discussed, and the directions for future research were suggested.

This study analyzes the business performance of research and development(R&D) and especially studies the effect of technology management activity and technology innovation competency on commercialization performance. According to previous studies, the technology management activity can be composed of technological innovativeness, analysis of market, R&D method, and appropriateness for commercialization plan. Also, the technology innovation can be divided into patent, R&D manpower, R&D investment ratio, production capability, and marketing capability. On the result of the analysis, all the components of technology management activity are positively related with commercialization performance. In case of technology innovation competency, however, only production and marketing capabilities have influence on the business performance. Especially, marketing capability controls the effect of technology management activities on the commercialization performance. Consequently, technology management is very important activity for SMEs to succeed commercialization and SMEs should collaborate with production and marketing departments from the early stage of R&D.

중소･벤처기업 기술혁신을 위한 정부 지원이 지속적으로 증가하면서 그 효과성을 실증적으로 분석할 필요성이 학계뿐만 아니라 정책담당자들에 의해서 꾸준히 제기되고 있다. 본 연구는 중소･벤처기업에 대한 정부 출연 형태의 R&D 지원이 기업의 경영성과 및 고용창출에 미치는 영향을 실증적으로 분석했다.기업의 내부 요인을 통제하고, 정부 지원이 중소기업의 경영성과 및 고용창출에 미치는 순 효과를 분석한 결과, 정부의 R&D 지원은 성과 향상에 일정 정도 효과가 있었으며 상황 요인에 따라서 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 단순 지원 여부 보다는 지원금의 규모가 더 유의적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 정부의 R&D 지원이 중소기업의 경영성과 향상 및 고용창출에 효과적으로 이바지하기 위해서는 다수에 대한 소액 출연 방식에서 분야별 선택과 집중에 의한 대규모 투자 방식으로 전환할 필요가 있음을 의미한다. 왜냐하면, 출연보다는 투자 방식의 자금지원이 중소기업들로 하여금 더욱 적극적으로 R&D 투자를 하도록 유도할 수 있기 때문이다. 또한, 분석 결과는 정부 R&D 지원의 효과성을 높이기 위해서는 R&D를 위한 자금지원이 다른 지원사업과 연계되어야 함을 의미한다.그러나 데이터의 한계로 성과에 영향을 줄 수 있는 기업 전략과 같은 기타 요인에 대한 적절한 통제가 이루어지지 않아 모형의 설명력이 전반적으로 낮다. 앞으로 정부 지원 효과를 더 정교하게 추정하기 위해서는 추가 데이터 확보와 분석 모형의 정교화를 통한 추가 분석이 필요하다.
