Are the technological innovation capabilities of Korean SMEs effective in strengthening competitiveness? Focusing on product and process innovation performance

In this study, the effect of technological innovation capabilities (R&D capability, technology accumulation capability, technological innovation system) possessed by Korean small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) on their competitiveness improvement through innovation performance (product development and process development capabilities) was investigated. As a result of empirical analysis using the questionnaire, it was found that the R&D capability of small and medium-sized manufacturing industries in Korea did not affect product development capability or process development capability.
