摘要

与大公司分包合同是否促进了中小企业的创新努力?本研究使用了2015年至2019年对韩国所有行业的22528家中小企业进行观察的面板数据来解决这个问题。基于Pavitt(1984,1990)的技术轨迹分类,我们分别对五个子行业的假设进行了检验。研究结果表明,排他性分包对创新努力产生负面影响,特别是在供应商主导、科学为基础和装配/加工行业。通过对整个行业和特定行业内的中小企业进行调查,本研究为排他性和创新之间的关系提供了新的证据,扩展了先前专注于有限行业数据的研究。特别是,研究结果对企业、行业和韩国等国家的创新战略具有启示意义,在这些国家,中小企业严重依赖与大公司的交易。这些发现为部门创新系统提供了新的定量证据,强调了每个行业不同的创新战略。

Influence of exclusive subcontracting on technological innovation: The case of Korean SMEs
Does subcontracting with large firms promote the innovation endeavours of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs)? This study addresses this question using panel data from 22,528 observations of Korean SMEs across all industries from 2015 to 2019. We tested the hypotheses individually for five sub-industries based on Pavitt’s (1984, 1990) technological trajectory classification. The findings indicate that exclusive subcontracting negatively affects innovation endeavours, specifically in the supplier-dominated, science-based, and assembly/processing industries. By examining SMEs both as a whole and within specific industries, this study provides new evidence on the relationship between exclusivity and innovation, expanding on prior research that focused on data from limited sectors. Specially, the findings have implications for the innovation strategies of firms, industries, and countries such as South Korea, where SMEs heavily rely on transactions with large firms. These findings offer new quantitative evidence for sectoral innovation systems, emphasising different innovation strategies for each industry.

期刊介绍: The increase in Japan share of international trade and financial transactions has had a major impact on the world economy in general and on the U.S. economy in particular. The new economic interdependence between Japan and its trading partners created a variety of problems and so raised many issues that require further study. Japan and the World Economy will publish original research in economics, finance, managerial sciences, and marketing that express these concerns.
