中介在韩国技术风险管理和企业开发绩效中的角色

The role of intermediaries on technological risk management and business development performance in Korea

本文从资源基础理论和网络理论的视角,对企业为更好地满足技术需要而从战略上利用中介作了考察。本项研究依据的是对韩国IT企业进行的一项抽样调查,研究结果显示,在建设关系资产方面,与政府支持组织和公共研发机构合作具有特殊的重要性。在推动和便于一般企业间公共开发项目和促进技术转移方面,中介发挥着关键作用。本项研究的结果表明,由于中介在网络中与其他组织有着联系,在这些信息和资源流动的网络当中处于核心地位,因此它们可以协调和控制网络中信息和资源的交流,能及时分享分析,并在得到这种信息方面享有特权,这给了其扩展战略性社会资本的途径。

This paper examines the strategic use of intermediaries by companies to better meet their technology needs from the resource-based theory and network theory perspectives. The results of this study are based on a sample of Korean IT companies and indicate the particular importance of cooperation with government support organisations and publicR&D institutions in building relational assets.Intermediaries played a crucial role in enabling and facilitating joint development projects and promoting technology transfer among the companies in general. The results of this study suggest that intermediaries, as they are linked to other organisations within networks and are centrally situated within those networks where information and resource flow, can coordinate and control the exchange of information and resources within networks and enjoy timely and privileged access to such information, giving them the means to expand their strategic social capital.
