상품 및 서비스 혁신 : 다국적기업 해외자회사의 유형분류법: 개념적 모형과 한국기업의 사례 = A Typology of MNC`s Foreign Subsidiaries: A Conceptual Model and Korean Cases

국문 초록 (Abstract)

다국적기업의 자회사에 대한 기존 분류법은 두 가지 측면에서 한계점을 가지고 있다. 첫째, 많은 연구가 이분법적 차원에서 자회사의 유형을 분류하였지만 이분법적 분류체계로는 다국적기업 내에 존재하는 다양한 자회사의 유형을 분류하기 어렵다. 다차원적 분류법이 존재하지 않고서는 자회사의 유형을 완전히 파악하는데 한계가 있기 때문이다. 둘째, 다국적기업의 자회사는 가치사슬측면에서 각각 상이한 활동을 수행하기 때문에 하나의 가치활동을 기준으로 자회사로 규정하기 어렵다. 결과적으로 자회사 유형에 대한 연구는 아직도 진행 중이며 명료하게 분류하기가 어려운 연구주제이다. 이러한 관점에서 본 연구는 해외자회사에 관한 기존의 분류모형에서 발견되는 한계를 극복하기 위해, 다차원적 기준을 고려한 분류모형을 개발하는데 그 목적이 있다. 본 연구는 해외자회사를 분류하기 위한 기준으로 (1) 요구되는 가치활동의 수 (2) 자회사의 자체조달능력과 자율성 (3) 글로벌 지향성이라는 세 가지 기준을 도입하여 8가지 유형의 자회사를 분류하였다. 그리고 이들 8가지 유형의 해외자회사에 적합한 한국기업의 사례를 분석함으로써 본 분류유형의 타당성에 대해 논의하였다.

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Existing multinational subsidiary typologies seem to have limitations in two respects. First, the prevalence of subsidiary classification along two-dimensions fails to capture many distinct subsidiary types. Failure to reflect a sufficient richness in dimensionality can give rise to a partial picture of subsidiary typologies in the international business literature. A new typology developed from multi-dimensional approach will be required for reflecting various subsidiary roles in the multinational enterprise. Second, multinational subsidiary performing a number of activities is hard to be defined functionally across the value chain activities. In addition, multinational subsidiary roles can vary dramatically. In conclusion, despite a growing amount of work on subsidiary typologies, there seems to be limited convergence of results. the study regarding subsidiary roles still remain a challenge. In this respect, the purpose of this study is to develop a new typology based on multi-dimensional approach in order to overcome the limitations of traditional typologies. To classify subsidiary types, we propose 8 types of multinational subsidiary according to three dimensions that are adopted: (1) number of required value chain activities (2) subsidiary`s sourcing capability and autonomy (3) global orientation (3) The case study analyzing Korean foreign subsidiaries appropriate for 8 types is performed to establish the validity of this study.
