정부정책과 내부혁신요인에 따른 기업혁신활동 연구: 제조업과 서비스업 집단분석

The central aim of this study is to recognize the importance of innovation activities of firms and to investigate its structure and characteristics. In order to conduct more systematic analysis, we classify the innovation activities into three different types, such as 1) R&D activities, 2) infrastructure of innovation activities, and 3) product innovation activities. We also adopt government policies and internal innovation factors as independent variables, in which we realize that those affect the three different types of innovation activities in the model. Moreover, we conduct a group analysis of manufacturing and service industries and then we focus on the differences and similarities of innovation activities across the two different industries. For the empirical analysis, we use the '2016 Korea Innovation Survey' by the Korea Science and Technology Policy Institute (STEPI). First, the findings show that while the government support has a positive impact on the both R&D activities and infrastructure of innovation activities, the government regulation has a negative impact on the all types of innovation activities of firms. Second, appropriability, which is one of the internal innovation factors in the firms, has a more impact on the R&D activities and infrastructure of innovation activities than other independent variables, and the application of intellectual property rights (IPRs) has a positive and significant impact on the R&D activities and infrastructure of innovation activities. Third, as a result of a group analysis, due to the characteristics of service industries, such as tacit and intangible product, they tend to focus on the R&D activities and product innovation activities, whereas due to the importance of production process and management, the manufacturing industries tend to focus on the infrastructure of innovation activities.
