The development speed of technology is fast and diversified, the product life cycle is shortened, and the fusion phenomenon between technologies is promoted. In addition, time and space are integrated and standardized, and the scale of R&D of enterprises towards a vast market has been gradually enlarged. Under these circumstances, companies will collaborate on R&D strategies in order to share high expenses and risks with each other. Therefore, in this research, we analyze how to select these strategies because of the nature of what kind of method to take company's R&D activities in the strategic dimension. In addition, the main objective is to grasp what kind of achievement the strategy is and complementing the strategies. Companies that have process innovation in the field of Korean manufacturing industry are more than companies that carried out product innovation (56%> 42%), For both innovations, the companies that have taken internal R&D and external R&D procurement at the same time accounted for more than half, (product innovation: 70%, process innovation: 64%). The companies taken only external R&D in process innovation Companies are grasped higher than in product innovation. We classified R&D activities of companies into four (No R&D, Internal R&D, External R&D, Joint of internal and external R&D) and present the determinant variables for the choice of R&D activities. The companies whose purpose of product innovation is to expand and develop the market, a large-scale enterprise that emphasizes protection of technology such as patents and utility model rights and provider information have selected the internal and external R&D at the same time. The companies whose aim of innovation is to emphasize on in-house research information and diversity of products in technology-intensive industries and that technology is protected by complex design and confidentiality method take internal R&D only for the purpose of product innovation. Moreover, the companies carrying out external R&D have the lacks in technology and market information. Especially the companies with high export concentration, take internal R&D and external R&D simultaneously, which is indispensable for product innovation. Now consider the determinant variables of R&D activities for process innovation. Emphasis on provider information, the purpose of technological innovation is quality improvement, emphasis on protecting technology and conduct internal and external R&D activities at the same time. Companies that place emphasis on research information inside the company mainly engage in internal R&D activities and companies of affiliated companies in the group are mainly to introduce external R&D. In the complementary measurement of both innovations, In the aspect of outcome in product innovation, the internal R&D (external R&D) in the strategy for the company’s R&D shows the positive complementary with external R&D (internal R&D). In the outcome in the process innovation, however, there is no complementary effect between internal R&D and external R&D.
