초록

경영환경은 정보기술 및 시장의 니즈, 경쟁자 등의 출현으로 인해 계속 변화한다. 심화되는 경쟁 속에 기업들은 생존과 발전을 내세우고 기업 특성에 맞지 않는 무분별한 전략을 답습하면서 오히려 역효과를 내고 있는 경우도 있다. 특히 변화에 적응할 수 있는 기반이나 자원이 부족한 벤처기업 및 창업기업들의 경우 창업 후 생존율이 점차 낮아지면서 충분한 경쟁력을 갖추지 못한 상황도 벌어지고 있다. 이들 벤처기업과 창업기업들 역시 도태되지 않고 생존하기 위해 다양한 전략을 통해서 경쟁력을 갖추려 노력하고 있다. 벤처기업이 비즈니스 생태계 내에서 하나의 유기적 생명체로서 진화하는 과정을 제품이나 산업의 수명주기와 마찬가지로 창업기, 초기 성장기, 고도 성장기, 성숙기, 쇠퇴기 등의 정형화된 단계에 비추어 분석해볼 수 있다. 이 경우, 벤처기업이 무차별적으로 전략경영의 모델을 적용하는 것 보다 해당 기업이 놓인 수명주기 단계별로 전략, 조직 구조, 의사결정방식, 통제유형 등을 상이하게 판단하고 이에 적절한 전략을 수행하는 접근을 생각해볼 수 있다. 지식가치에 초점을 두어 보면, 동일 생산요소를 투입하더라도 이를 적용할 수 있는 지식이 있는 경우 더 높은 가치 창출이 가능하며, 기업의 수명주기 단계에 비추어 보면 차별화된 시사점을 얻을 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 '2017년 벤처기업정밀실태조사' 데이터를 기반으로 기업의 외부 협력 정도 및 벤처기업 지원제도 활용 정도가 경쟁력과 성과에 미치는 영향이 기업의 수명주기별로 상이함을 확인하였다. 분석 결과 도입기와 초기성장기, 고도성장기, 성숙기, 쇠퇴기별로 기업경쟁력에 영향을 미치는 영향이 상이하게 나타났으며, 경영성과 역시 영향을 미치는 요인들이 상이한 것으로 나타났다. 이는 무분별하게 경영전략의 모델들을 구사하기보다 기업수명주기 단계에 맞는 경쟁전략을 실시하는 접근이 필요하며, 성과를 창출하는 경쟁력을 구축하는 방식 역시 차별적이어야 함을 보여준다.

Business environment is always full of challenges. Despite various strategic efforts, there are so many failure cases of misfit. With the weaker resource base and institutional foundation, startup firms find it more difficult to find the right spot in the stiff competition. In the middle of evolutionary process, the startup firms need proper strategies meeting the differential challenges along the multiple stages of growth. Following the idea of product life cycle, this study applies the four stages of growth-startup, initial growth, accelerated growth, matured, and decliing. The next step for the startup manager is meeting each stage of growth with proper strategic efforts, including strategy, structure, decision-making pattern, and control method. When the knowledge factor is introduced, there is a potential for higher performance. Based on the 'Detailed Survey on Startup Ventures in 2017,' this study explores the impact of the government subsidy program on the firm competitiveness and performance-along the four stages of growth. In each stage, the strategy factors showed differential impact.
