기업의 특허활동이 경영성과에 미치는 영향에 관한 연구 - 통신 산업의 시차분석을 중심으로

Now days, firm’s technology capability is recognized as important factor to forecast and to evaluate firm’s business performance. There are many efforts to develop useful indicators by applying patent information that includes concrete description about technology. Many previous studies analyzed relationship between patent indicators and firm’s performance. But they didn’t consider time gap between a point of firm’s invention activity and a point of firm’s performance improvement. They didn’t considered a character of industrial fields either. To overcome these limitations, we selected IT industry for target analysis industry. Time-series patent data and financial data from 41 American IT firms between 2000 and 2011were used to analyze. In this study, We empirically analyzed subsequent effect of patent indicators on firm’s business performance by using correlation analysis and regression analysis.
