한국 소재·부품산업의 경쟁력 분석 모델 제안

The Competitiveness Analysis Model of Materials and Components Industry of Korea

The components and materials industry is one of the most valuable sector that led Korea to economic development over the past several decades. More recently, as the finished products' production and assembling capability has been globally equalized, the competitiveness of the components and materials industry has been recognized as the core of the industrial competitiveness.. The extant Literature on the industrial competitiveness has been dominated by the Porter's diamond model, which is a good starting paradigm for analyzing important determinants of industrial competitiveness. However, Porter's diamond model is incomplete, mainly because it is essentially a static one. This article builds on previous work in the analysis of competitiveness by drawing on concepts from the resource-based view, network theory and knowledge-based view to develop a theoretical model for the productivity improvement of components and materials industry of Korea. We suggest that technology, human capital, managerial competence, supplier/customer relationship and international marketing are the key drivers of productivity improvement of components and materials industry.
