Abstract

This study summarized longevity factors of enterprises and presented longevity mechanism. By analogy of human aging and corporate longevity, the company's decline and longevity phenomenon were analyzed to derive corporate longevity mechanism, presented domestic and foreign longevity enterprises' cases study using above mechanism. The longevity mechanism first, as the human body restricts free radicals by dietary restrictions, companies also need continuous input efficiency. Second, as cognitive reserve by high thinking activities helps heath lifespan, companies can strengthen their profitability by continuous R&D. Third, as humans improve antioxidant functions by exercise, companies should develop risk management capabilities for environmental changes. This study can contribute to sustainable strategies for corporate managers, ultimately plan to suggest model of evaluation or diagnosis of corporate longevity.

본 연구를 통하여 장수기업의 요인을 종합하고 각 요인 별로 어떻게 선순환을 이루는지 장수기업 메커니즘을 제시하고자 한다. 이를 위해 인간 노화의 특징을 연구하고 이를 기업의 장수 메커니즘에 유비함으로써, 기업의 쇠퇴와 장수 현상을 분석하여 기업의 장수 메커니즘을 도출하였으며, 이를 활용한 국내외 장수기업 사례를 제시하였다. 장수 메커니즘은 첫째, 인체가 식이 제한으로 활성산소를 제한하듯, 기업도 투입 효율의 지속적 관리가 필요하다. 둘째, 고등사고 활동을 통한 인지비축이 건강수명에 도움이 되듯, 기업도 지속적인 R&D를 통해 수익성 강화가 가능하다. 셋째, 인간이 운동을 통해 항산화 기능 향상을 이루듯, 기업도 환경 변화에 대한 위기관리능력을 키워야 한다. 본 연구는 기업 경영자의 지속가능경영 전략 수립에 일조할 것으로 사료되며, 나아가 궁극적으로 기업 장수 평가 또는 진단 모형을 제시하고자 한다.
