This study examines the persistent decline of the motorcycle industry despite governmental interventions, using the perspective of path dependency. Drawing from W. B. Arthur's concept of 'Lock-in by insignificant historical events', the research delves into the lock-in phenomena within the industry's life cycle. We identified path dependency lock-in categories: contingency, historicity, and technological lock-in. The industry's licensing production method during its embryonic phase led to limited technological capabilities, establishing a technological path dependency. During the currency crisis and in alignment with China's open-door policy, the industry chose to import cheaper components, opting for economies of scale over technological innovation, intensifying the lock-in. Furthermore, the classification of motorcycle as a free industry before the currency crisis resulted in a lack of governmental support. This neglect has continued, with even modern electric motorcycle facing regulation. In conclusion, to overcome this entrenched path dependency and lock-in, significant governmental policy restructuring is essential.
본 연구는 경로의존성과 정책선도자의 개념으로 최근의 주요 경비업 법 개정 관련 논란 및 사태 등을 살펴, 10.29 참사 이후 경비업법 개 정 관련 논의를 하고자 한다. 이를 위해 각종 논문 및 학술자료와 신문 기사 등 자료를 통한 문헌분석 방법을 통해 살펴본다. 경비업법은 경비 업 제한(지도와 감독, 규제와 처벌 논리)법으로서 기능을 하여 왔으며, 경비업의 권한 남용의 방지에 관한 광범위한 기술적인 규정을 두는 경 로의존성을 지니고 있으며, 경비업법에서 정책선도자인 행정안전부(경 찰청)의 역할과 기능은 매우 중요함을 알 수 있었다. 결국, 경비업법의 경로의존성은 개정 입법 논의의 한계로 작용하고 정책선도자인 행정안 전부(경찰청)의 의지에 달렸다. 최근 10.29 참사로 인해 경비업법의 개 정에 대한 정책의 창이 열렸다. 그간의 경비업법 개정 과정 분석을 통 해 경로의존성과 정책선도자의 특성을 고려해 본다면, 개정의 논의가 순탄치 않음을 탐색해 볼 수 있다.
Purpose – The Korean university education system is facing innovation and change, including cooperation between industry and university, Therefore It is important to activate the industry-university cooperation. This paper aims to demonstrate the factors that activate industry-university cooperation, particularly about the voluntary participation induction by industry and researching in path dependency perspectives.
Research design, data, and methodology – The subject of this research were companies that are aware of the industry-university cooperation program. This research hypothesis is derived from the literature of previous studies of industry-university cooperation, This study have constructs that was defined operationally with reference to previous studies, this research model design to figure out structural relationship among technology leadership of university, university specialization, local network strength, fixation of local economy, recognition of path dependence, participation by industry, performance of industry-university cooperation. From 2017 July. 1 to Sept. 31, questionnaire survey targeting company staff who is involving in industry-university cooperation. 257 questionnaire survey had conducted. 249 investigated data were used for empirical analysis except wrong data. This data were used for AMOS(structural equation) & Regression statistics to verify hypothesis which developed by researcher.
Results – The results of this study are as follows. First, technology leadership of universities has a significant effect on voluntary participation by industry. University specialization has significant effect on voluntary participation by industry. Second, local network strength has significant effect on voluntary participation by industry. but fixation of local economy does not affect voluntary participation by industry. Third, recognition of path dependence has moderating effect between Independent(university, company characteristics) and dependent variables(voluntary participation by industry) When recognition level of path dependence is high, preceding factors have a significant effect on voluntary participation by industry than recognition level of path dependence is low. As a result, the degree of recognition of path dependence was shown important variables that induce voluntary participation of industry for industry-university cooperation program.
Conclusions – This study suggests that voluntary participation of industry is a very important factor in the achievement of industry-university cooperation. Recognition of interdependence as well as leading factors that encourage voluntary participation of industry is also just as important. If recognition of path dependence was high, Industry's voluntary participation was high.
