This study analyzed the determinants of high-growth firms using the technology appraisal data of the Korea Technology Finance Corporation. This study is differentiated from previous studies for three reasons. First, it analyzed the determinants of firms that will grow into high-growth firms in the future, not the characteristics of current high-growth firms. Second, it analyzed high-growth firms by dividing them in two aspects: sales and employment. In other words, they were divided into three types: the case in which a firm achieves high growth in both sales increase and creation of jobs, the case in which a firm achieves high growth in creation of jobs but low growth in sales increase, and the case in which a firm achieves high growth in only sales increase but low growth in creation of jobs. Third, this study applied the technology appraisal indicators of Kibo Technology Rating System(KTRS) by the Korea Technology Finance Corporation as the explanatory variable. As a result of analysis, it was found that a firm achieved high growth in both sales and employment if the position in the technology life cycle was appropriate and the technology readiness level was high. However, it turned out that the management system of technical manpower had conflicting effects on high growth of employment and sales. In other words, a firm that had well managed its technical manpower achieved high growth in terms of employment, but rather showed low growth in terms of sales. This result suggests the inference that firms showing high growth in employment may appear mainly in the high-tech industry where management of technical manpower is important. Accordingly, as a result of adding dummy variables that represent whether or not firms are in the high-tech industry, it was found that the result supported the inference, as firms in the high-tech industry were highly likely to achieve high growth in employment.

세계 휴대폰 시장은 1995년부터 2004년까지 연평균 36.6% 고성장을 누리며 지금까지 거침없는 고성장을 달성해왔다. 1995년 4,100만대 규모가 2년 후인 1997년에 처음으로 1억대를 넘어섰고, 2003년에는 1997년의 5배 수준인 5억, 2,400만대를 기록하였다. 이러한 휴대폰의 고성장 배경 중 첫 번째로 손꼽히는 이유는 교체주기가 매우 짧고 다른 사람과 공동으로 소유할 수 없는 첨단 기기라는 점이다. PC 혹은 TV등의 첨단제품들은 일반 가정에서 1대만 있어도 온 가족이 함께 사용할 수 있지만, 휴대폰은 소비자 한명이 한개를 보유해야만 하는 특성상 향후 시장의 전망은 무한하다.

This paper explores the characteristics of innovation activities in high growth firms that contribute to national and regional economic growth and job creation. The analysis is based on the 2016 KIS data to analyze the difference in innovation activities between high growth firms and general firms. The main results are as follows: First, high growth firms have a higher proportion of R&D personnel than general firms. Second, high growth firms are actively introducing product innovation, process innovation, and organizational innovation as compared to general firms. In the innovation activities related to product innovation and process innovation, there is no statistically significant difference between high growth companies and general companies except for external R&D. Third, High growth firms are more likely to cooperate with other technology partners than general firms. But, there is no statistically significant difference between high growth firms and general firms in the external knowledge search and the diversity of cooperating partners. Fourth, in terms of protecting innovation, high growth firms are more likely to use all kinds of innovation protection method, such as 'utilizing intellectual property rights', 'maintaining confidentiality', 'adopting complex design methods', 'market preemption ahead of competitors', and the most important means is the intellectual property rights. Fifth, government innovation policies that high growth firms chose as important are 'innovation subsidies and loans', 'acquirement, utilization and protection of intellectual property rights' and 'human resource support'.

Research on OECD and Korea have shown that high-growth startups are the keys to job creation and that these companies are very important for economic growth. Given that the large-scale entry of women into the labor force accelerates economic growth and women have far lower levels of participation in growth-oriented entrepreneurship than men do, accelerating female entrepreneurship could have positive effects on the Korean economy. This paper uses data from several databases to do a comparison analysis between women's and men's start-ups to explore the factors that explain the lag in building high-growth firms among women. Women startups make up nearly 34% of startups(defined as less than 7 years of establishment), but only 6% of high-growth startups. Women rarely own large businesses, reflecting their low levels of initial capital and outside financing. Regardless of gender, entrepreneurs face many of the same challenges in starting businesses, but this study shows three primary factors for female entrepreneurs that lead to a less high-growth startup: a greater financing gap than for men(this gap is more apparent for high-growth firms), a lack of ideas, knowledge, and experience(related to the lack of mentorship), and lastly the difficulty maintaining a work-life balance. The findings are very similar with those found in studie's in the US(financing gap, work-life balance, and lack of mentorship). Further studies are required to identify more specific factors behind the gender gap in ideas, knowledge, and experience.

This paper presents on the project to design an academy for high-growth businesses which is taking place in the East Midlands of the UK, sponsored by the Regional Development Agency (RDA). The research aims to design and commission a learning organisation which will stimulate and support entrepreneurial leadership and management skills in growing companies. The paper attempts to build a policy framework for a learning organisation which is centred on a community of high-growth firms' owners and managers acting as a support network. This approach is compared with existing high growth development programmes and recommendations are made for the development, funding and implementation of high-growth support programmes.

The high-technological in the electric and electronic industries is recognized in overseas markets as well. However, the competition for technologies in these industries is increasing. Therefore, electric and electronic firms should be more efficient in their production. so, This paper analyzes the efficiency of High-growth Electrical and Electronics firms using DEA model. We evaluate the CCR, BBC efficiency and RTS(return to scale) of 20 Korean high-growth Electrical and Electronics firms. There are a total of 12 efficient DMUs with a BCC of 1. There are a total of 4 efficient DMUs with a CCR of 1. A total of 11 DMUs were IRS in Scale Efficiency and a total of 6 DMUs were CRS in Scale Efficiency and a total of 3 DMUs were DRS in Scale Efficiency. We also suggest the Electrical and Electronics firms which can be benchmarked based on analyzed information.

This study was carried out to define gazelle industry through preceded research for gazelle firm & gazelle region, in order to discover high-growth industries. Gazelle industry is 'employees per company is more than ten people, and over the past five years, within top 10% by Birch employment growth index'. According to the definition of gazelle industry, Chungnam gazelle 105 industries were chosen. Then, analyzed whether Chungnam gazelle industries has competitiveness compared with nation and each city of Chungnam. In addition, typology to industrial development stage was devised by developing of business scale quotient(BQ) and industrial growth rate(IG). And development strategies of Chungnam gazelle industries was proposed case by industrial development stage.
