The role of entrepreneurship has become important for the continuous growth (scale-up) of companies in a rapidly changing economic environment. However, research has focused mainly on business-oriented growth that emphasizes efficiency only. However, in the era of the fourth industrial revolution, people have become more important than corporate efficiency. In particular, there are few studies on SMEs. The purpose of this study is to investigate how the characteristics of human - centered organizational culture affects the business ecosystem and firm excellence of SMEs, and how business ecosystem and firm excellence affect the performance of corporations. Therefore, this study focuses on the empathy, enablement, empowerment, and engagement of the corporate culture characteristics of the enterprise and the effects of the independent variables on the business ecosystem and the flower excellence as the parameters and the business ecosystem and company excellence. The main research subjects are the causality analysis that examines the effects on the management performance. The results of the study are as follows. Empathy, enablement, empowerment, engagement have a significant impact on the business ecosystem. In addition, the engagement have a positive effect on firm excellence. The results of empirical studies on the causal relationship between business ecosystem, corporate competence, and company excellence and business performance show that business ecosystem has no statistically significant effect on business performance. Corporate excellence has a significant effect on business performance Respectively. In addition to the above findings, this study can suggest the following implications. First, it is an empirical study of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) by utilizing people-oriented entrepreneurship in addition to existing research. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are expected to have lower perceptions of people-oriented management than large corporations or public institutions, but the analysis shows that people-centered entrepreneurship has a significant impact on the business ecosystem. Second, the research results of the serial multiple mediating effect analysis show that the higher the atmosphere of entrepreneurship in a company, the higher the atmosphere of entrepreneurship, and the parameters of business ecosystem and company excellence in the effect of people-oriented entrepreneurship on management performance. It is that the path through which people-oriented entrepreneurship influences management performance was verified by verifying the mediating effect by inputting.

최근의 사회 경제적 현상에 비추어 우리나라 젊은이들은 취업에 많은 고민을 하고 있으며 이의 극복을 위해 많은 시간과 노력을 할애하고 있다. 우리나라는 경제규모가 세계 10위권대 임에도 불구하고 취업시장은 매우 어려운 상황이어서 돌파구가 있어야 하는 상황이다. 지금의 세계경제는 4차 산업시대로 빠르게 변화하고 있다. 이러한 변화의 중심은 세계적 대기업이 아닌 IT기반의 플랫폼 사업의 개인 창업가들이며, 이 개인 창업가들이 엄청난 속도로 성장하여 지금의 글로벌기업을 이끌고 있다. 최근 창업에 관한 인식변화와 함께 관심을 갖고 실제로 창업에 도전하는 현상이 늘어나고 있으며, 이의 성공여부가 본인은 물론 우리나라의 경제를 활성화 시킬 수 있는 원동력이 된다고 생각한다. 본 연구를 통해 생애전반에 걸쳐 교육과 취업이나 창업의 많은 사회적 경험활동이 사업가적 도전성에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 검증하고자 한다. 실질적인 성과를 낼 수 있는 경험자들이 창업에 도전성에 어떤 영향을 주고 있는지 알아보고자 한다. 본 연구는 사회적 경험활동이 기업가적 도전성에 어떤 영향을 미치는 알아보는 연구로 개인적 특성, 사회적 경험, 창업실패에 대한 인식이 사업가적 도전성에 어떤 영향을 미치는지 검증하고, 사회적 지지가 사업가적 도전성에 조절효과가 있는지 검증하고자 한다. 창업이 국가의 경제성장이나 개인의 취업 및 경제활동 욕구를 충족시키는 요소라면 사업가적 도전성을 개개인의 사회적 경험에 앞서 학교 교육과정에서부터 체득될 수 있는 환경을 조성해서 창업에 도전성이 더욱 더 성장될 수 있도록 성장과정에서 교육적 사회적 책무를 가지고 환경조성을 한다면 사회적 경제적 비용을 줄일 수 있을 뿐 아니라 건정한 사회를 만들 수 있다고 생각한다.

As a result of analyzing the causal relationship between research variables, it was found that the higher the innovation and initiative among the sub-factors of entrepreneurial orientation, the more positive the technical commercialization performance and product completion. Among the sub-factors of entrepreneurial orientation, risk-taking was found to have a significant effect only on product completion. It was found that the higher the technology commercialization capability and technology convergence capability, the higher the technology commercialization performance, the technology commercialization performance. As a result of analyzing the moderating effect of technology development activities, it was found that technology development management ability, a sub-factor of technology development activities, controls the influence relationship between innovation and risk sensitivity and technology performance. In addition, it was found that the involvement in technology development planning controls the influence relationship between technology convergence capability and technology performance among sub-factors of technology innovation capability. Based on the above analysis results, this study made three suggestions as follows. First, the achievements of technology commercialization to achieve the superiority of corporate competition depend on progressive innovation and risk-taking based on entrepreneurial orientation. It is necessary to find a way to build entrepreneurial orientation from within the organization. Second, due to the nature of the ICT industry, which has a fast pace of technological development and changes in market acceptance, technology commercialization performance will be positive when the capabilities, technology, knowledge, and resources that can quickly lead to product production can be organically linked. Finally, corporate CEOs need to further promote innovation and risk-taking through phased and continuous research activities for technology development.

There is a growing interest in the entrepreneurial activity that has long been considered essential for sustainable economic development and value creating. Although it is strongly encouraged by focusing on the positive aspects of venturing, less has been paid attention to entrepreneurial failure, which is the biggest cause of hesitation in starting a business. The uncertain and risky nature of entrepreneurship implies a considerable possibility of failure. Even if it fails, the experience and knowledge of entrepreneurs acquired through entrepreneurship indeed offers valuable lessons for the re-venturing, which can serve as an important social asset that should not be lost. It has been argued that re-entering the same industry for the subsequent venture maximizes the learning effect through utilizing potential benefits from industry-specific knowledge. Although the re-startup after entrepreneurial failure is a very important topic in the studies on serial entrepreneurs, there is a paucity of systematic empirical investigation. This study responds to calls for more research on the re-startup after entrepreneurial failure, and specifically complements existing studies on serial entrepreneurs. Focusing on the entrepreneurs' attribution for the failure, we conducted an empirical analysis of how this affects the re-startup process. Moreover, we also examined the moderating effects of entrepreneurial self-efficacy and resilience. For the analyses, we surveyed the entrepreneurs who tried to re-start the subsequent business after the entrepreneurial failure through the "Revitalization Center for Strained Entrepreneur". The results found that failed entrepreneurs who blamed internal factors for their previous venture failures were likely to keep the same industry for their subsequent business. In addition, the positive effect of internal attribution on maintaining the same industry for the re-startup was found to be stronger when entrepreneurial self-efficacy and resilience were high.

최근 우리 사회는 코로나 19(COVID 19)와 4차 산업혁명으로 인한 노동시장의 불안과 더불어 매년 증가하고 있는 청년실업의 해결책으로 청년창업에 관심이 집중되고 있고, 창업지원 정책 또한 다양하게 시행하고 있다. 이와 관련 군에서도 일과 후 자기 개발을 통한 생산적 군 복무로 부대 전투력 극대화와 개인의 경력 단절 최소화를 위한 일환으로 2018년 부터 '청년 Dream, 국군 드림' 이라는 역점 사업을 추진 중에 있다. Dream의 알파벳중 'Ⓡ 창·취업 기회 제공(Raising Job Opportunities)'의 경우 2020년 3월 기준 육군은 약 870여개의 창업동아리를 운영하고 있다. 하지만 군부대의 특성상 전투임무 수행에 우선순위가 있다보니 창업동아리를 능동적으로 운영하기에는 여러 가지 제약사항이 있으며, 군 창업동아리와 관련된 선행연구 또한 미천한 수준에 머무르고 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 군 창업동아리 활동 장병 200명을 대상으로 '군 장병의 개인 특성(성취욕구, 자기효능감, 동기부여)과 기업가정신(혁신성, 진취성, 위험감수성)이 창업의지에 미치는 영향'을 분석해 보는데 있다. 이를 통해 군 장병을 대상으로 하는 군 창업동아리 활동이 지속적으로 운영 될 수 있는 방안을 모색해 보고, 실질적인 교육지원 방향을 제시하는 등 군 조직 역량 강화와 개인 발전, 그리고 군 창업동아리 활성화 방안에 대해 논의해 보고자 한다.
