본 연구는 CEO의 혁신성, 학습적 문화, 정보 시스템 활용 수준이 기업의 혁신성과에 미치는 영향 그리고 이러 한 혁신성과가 기업의 경제적 성과에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 살펴보는데 주요 목적이 있다. 김해시에서 활동하 고 있는 중소제조기업 122개를 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하여 구조방정식을 통해 분석한 결과, CEO의 혁신성과 학습 문화는 각각 기업의 혁신 성과에 긍정적인 영향을 미치며 그리고 기업의 혁신 성과는 기업의 경제적 성과에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과를 통해 본 연구는 혁신은 대기업의 전유물이 아니며 대기업에게만 효과가 있는 것이 아니라 자원 이 부족하지만 CEO의 경영 스타일과 학습적 문화와 같이 거대한 자본을 들이지 않는 혁신활동으로도 기업의 혁 신을 이끌 수 있다는 것을 제안한다. 또한, 중소기업에게 있어 혁신이 기업 성과를 결정하는 요인으로 밝혀졌기 에 중소기업의 CEO는 실무적으로 이를 활용할 수 있을 것이다. 그리고 마지막으로, 본 연구에서는 기존 문헌과 달리 혁신성과를 경제적 성과와 연결하여 살펴보았다는데 큰 의의가 있다.

Vertical relationship structures facilitate firm innovativeness with enhanced exploration but may not have a positive direct effect on new product performance. Furthermore, the effect of information exchange on new product performance is contingent upon information exchange which enhances firm innovativeness.
