합작기업의 경영지식 획득규모에 영향을 미치는 결정요인 = Key Determinants Affecting the Extent of Managerial Knowledge Acquisition in International Joint Ventures: High Versus Low Knowledge Acquirers

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This paper explores the key factors affecting the extent of managerial knowledge acquisition in international joint ventures(IJVs) despite the general consent formed amongst scholars that IJVs facilitate acquisition of technology and knowledge from the foreign parents. For the purpose of this study, the samples were divided into two groups based on the extent of knowledge acquisition using cluster analysis. Then, the two groups were examined to identify the main factors determining the two groups by using logistic regression.
This paper shows that managerial knowledge with sticky characteristics can be acquired. It also shows that international experience of IJVs' employees, level of support from foreign parents, and personnel transfer of foreign expatriate experts will increase the extent of knowledge acquisition for IJVs. In conclusion, based on the findings from this study, this paper offers suggestions to IJVs and multinational corporations investing in Korea.

합작기업이 외국인 모기업으로부터의 기술과 지식획득에 용이한 기업형태라는 사실에 대해 학자들 간에 일반적인 동의가 이루어져 있음에도 불구하고, 다른 기업에 비해 상대적으로 더 많은 지식을 획득함으로써, 최종 학습경쟁에서 승리하게끔 하는 요인에 대한 실증연구(high knowledge acquirers versus low knowledge acquirers)는 부족한 실정이다. 또한 합작기업의 학습을 경영노하우라는 측면에서 고려할 때, 이러한 실증연구의 부족은 더욱 두드러진다. 따라서, 본 논문은 합작기업의 경영노하우 학습규모에 차이가 나는 이유에 대해 알아보고자 하였다. 이러한 연구목적을 성취하기 위해 지식획득 규모를 기준으로 합작기업을 두 개의 그룹으로 구분하였다. 이와 같은 분류를 위해 군집분석이 사용되었으며, 그 후 로지스틱 회귀분석을 이용하여 두 그룹의 분류에 영향을 미치는 주요 요인들을 확인하였다.
본 연구를 통해 먼저 점착성의 특징(sticky characteristics)을 갖고 있는 경영지식도 학습이 가능하다는 사실을 확인하였으며, 합작기업 구성원의 국제경험, 외국인 모기업의 경영지원과 외국인 전문가 파견이 합작기업의 학습규모를 확대한다는 점을 발견하였다. 끝으로 본 연구는 실증분석을 통해 발견한 주요 요인들을 바탕으로 국내에 설립된 합작기업과 국내에 투자하고 있는 다국적 기업에게 제공할 수 있는 시사점을 제시하고 있다.
