디지털 시대 중소기업 경쟁력 강화를 위한 고찰 ‒일본의 사례를 중심으로‒

초록

Strengthening the competitiveness of SMEs is a task that must be solved for the long-term economic development of the country and the maintenance of a sound corporate ecosystem. In particular, due to the development of digital technology, digital space has established itself as a living and economic space comparable to reality, increasing the timeliness of digital transformation of SMEs. However, SMEs that lack resources to invest in digital transformation compared to the government and large companies are relatively delayed in digital transformation, and support for digital transformation is emerging as a major policy agenda around the world. Accordingly, this study analyzed the case of Japan, which is actively supporting digital transformation of SMEs at the government level, to derive the characteristics of the Japanese SMEs digital transformation support policy and implications for Korea. First of all, it is necessary to pay attention to the purpose of Japan’s policy to cultivate a corporate-led DX-oriented climate. In order to induce continuous investment in digital transformation by SMEs, it is necessary to create an environment in which private-led digital transformation can take place rather than state-led digital transformation. In addition, various aspects of support are needed, such as management support, digital talent dispatch support, and the establishment of a cyber security system, as well as manufacturing processes.
