한국 소프트웨어서비스 기업 경쟁력 분석

The fourth industrial revolution, characterized by an expansion of the intelligence revolution based on hyper-connectivity, demands digital transformation across all industries to enhance competitiveness and secure new growth engines. To facilitate this transformation, there is a need to internalize software capabilities within industries and strengthen the competitiveness of software firms in response to sector-specific demands. Thus, this study originates from the research question: how can the competitiveness of domestic software service companies be measured and objectively evaluated? By conducting a thorough review of the literature on business models, software services, and corporate competitiveness, this research aims to design a framework for quantitatively assessing the supply competitiveness of domestic software service firms. The proposed methodology involves evaluating competitiveness through three dimensions: value creation centered on the maturity of marketable finished products, value provision centered on the capability to build partner collaboration ecosystems, and value capture based on financial operational status. Following the definition of software service companies, a target population for the study was established, and a sample proportionate to representative items and revenue distribution was designed. A quantitative survey was conducted with 2,402 valid corporate samples, analyzing the relationship between corporate competitiveness and performance. Based on these analytical results, theoretical and practical implications for the advancement of competitiveness among domestic software service companies are derived, and practical exemplary cases supporting these implications are discussed.
