최근에는 거의 모든 분야에서 ICT와 같은 기술기반 산업과의 융합을 통한 창업현상이 두드러지고 있어, 이들을 대상으로 한 연구는 개인 수준뿐만 아니라 팀 수준의 특성을 함께 살펴보는 것이 더 현실적인 상황을 반영하고 실무적인 시사점을 제공해 줄 것으로 판단된다. 팀창업일 경우 기업의 성과는 개인-팀 역량의 혼합 결과로 볼 수 있기 때문이다. 기존 선행연구에서는 창업기업의 성공과 실패를 가름하는 다양한 요인들을 제시해왔으나, 이러한 요인은 창업자의 개인적 특성, 보유하고 있는 자원 등에서 찾는 선행연구가 대부분이다. 관련 연구들을 종합하면 창업기업의 성장은 창업가 특성, 자원, 전략, 산업, 그리고 조직 구조 및 시스템의 함수로 정리된다. 그러나 창업팀에 대한 연구는 제한적이다. 이에 본 연구는 초기 창업기업의 성과에 영향을 미치는 핵심 요인으로 창업가의 특성인 창업역량(entrepreneurial competency)에 초점을 두고, 창업팀의 역량에 따라 어떠한 영향을 미치는 살펴본다. 개인의 특성에 집중해온 기존 연구에서 더 나아가 창업역량의 영향력을 창업가 개인 수준 및 팀 수준으로 구분하여 함께 살펴보고자 한다. 본 연구 결과를 통해 예비 창업가 및 초기 창업기업이 안정적인 사업화를 위해 팀구성을 어떻게 해야하는지 가이드라인을 제시할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다. 또한, 정부 지자체 민간 등에서 창업지원사업 운영 시 팀구성이 잘 된 창업기업을 선발하는 기준을 수립하기 위한 참고자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

최근까지의 국내외 투자 의사결정 요인을 살펴보면 주로 벤처캐피탈리스트 투자 성공 요인이 연구되어 왔다. 하지만, 2018년 이후 폭발적으로 증가한 투자 자금과, 우수한 스타트업의 성장으로 인해, 기업가들의 투자 거절 사례가 빈번하게 발생하고 있다. 따라서 투자자는 우수한 스타트업에 투자하기 위해 어떤 조건에서 투자를 거절당하는지 인지해야 할 필요가 있다. 본 연구는 주로 초기 창업자들에게 투자하는 국내외 벤처캐피탈리스트 7명을 인터뷰 하여 거절된 투자의 요인을 살펴보고, 우수한 스타트업 투자 유치를 위한 방향을 제시하려고 한다. 연구 결과 최근 3년 이내 투자자들은 잦은 투자 거절 경험을 하였으며, 기업가의 투자사 거절 요인은 1) 투자자의 낮은 산업 전문성, 2) 투자자의 낮은 장기 지향성이다. 먼저, 기업가는 많은 투자 기회를 인식하며, 과거와 달리 비재무적 조건에 비중을 두는 것으로 나타났다. 그 중 투자 기업의 전문성은 특히 기술 스타트업에서 많이 발견되며, 투자자가 피투자기업이 속한 산업의 기술적 이해가 낮을수록 투자가 거절될 수 있으며, 투자 목적의 경우, 투자사가 제시하는 투자의 목적이 장기 지향성이 낮을수록 투자가 거절될 수 있다. 이는 스타트업의 대표와 투자사의 상호성에도 부정적인 영향을 주기 때문이다. 따라서 초기 기술 기업에 투자하는 투자사일수록 투자사가 보유하고 있는 산업전문성과 일치하는 스타트업에 투자를 제안해야 하며, 초기 기술 기업의 기업가는 높은 기업 애착도가 있음으로, 스타트업과 컨텍하는 단계에서부터 투자사의 투자 성향에 대해 끊임없이 알리며, 장기지향적인 투자를 제안해야 한다.

국내의 M&A는 외환위기 이후 외국기업과 펀드의 국내기업 인수, 국내회사나 투자자들의 부실기업 인수, 국내 기업간 빅딜, 벤처기업 간 M&A 등의 형태로 급속도로 증가해왔다. 그러나 선진국과 비교하여 짧은 역사 때문인지 국내의 M&A 거래건에 대한 개별적인 사후 평가가 그다지 원활히 이루어자는 것 같지는 않다. 선진국과 비교하여 크게 다르지 않은 분석 기법과 전략으로 임하고 있는 국내 현실에 비추어 볼 때, 비즈니스위크지 (2002.10.14)가 말하고 있는 대규모 M&A의 61%가 인수자에게 손해를 입히고 있는 선진국의 상황과 별반 다르지 않을 것이라는 짐작 정도는 해볼 수 있다. M&A는 기본적으로 기업의 이윤을 추구하기 위해 사용되지만, 사실 과거 M&A를 수행했던 대부분의 기업들은 M&A 이후 그들이 예상했던 이익을 달성하지 못하고 있다.

Various studies have been carried out on the subject of entrepreneurship, which is required to create new businesses and organizations during the early process of startups based on innovative technologies and ideas. At the same time, the concept of organizational entrepreneurial orientation, which explains how to manage enterprises in the process of pioneering new products and markets, is drawing more and more attention for the purpose of continuously creating and maintaining a competitive edge of startups. This study focused on the relationship between entrepreneurial orientation and startup performance and the role of technological orientation and social capital. An empirical research was conducted on 144 different startup companies residing in startup supporting institutions. To evaluate the suitability of the research model, a PLS-based structural equation model was used. The research results are as follows: First, the entrepreneurial orientation of startups was found to have a positive effect on startup performance. Second, it was shown that entrepreneurial orientation had a positive effect on all three dimensions of social capital and technological orientation. Third, it has been shown that technological orientation and the cognitive dimension of social capital mediates the relationship between entrepreneurial orientation and startup performance. Through this, it was confirmed that entrepreneurial orientation directly affects startup performance, and it even influences the growth of startups by increasing technological superiority and social capital which is inherent in the network. Also, the research identified the need for additional research on the relationship between the strengthening of technological orientation and strategical orientation in startups. This study is expected to expand the discussion about social capital in the field of startup related research by affirming the role and importance of the cognitive system embedded in the network as well as the connectivity of networks, which has been already emphasized in previous startup related studies. Finally, the results of this study were reflected to present new practical implications.

Recently, the potential of advanced studies is being highlighted that the networking activity of entrepreneurs of venture businesses influences successful foundation. Given this background, this study intends to make an exploratory study on the influence of self-efficacy of the entrepreneur's cognitive characteristic and patience with ambiguity of the psychological characteristic upon networking activity, and the components of networking activity upon entrepreneurial performance. It was tested with sample of responses to the questionnaires for 156 entrepreneurs of venture businesses which are under 3 years since they were founded. Findings of this study are as follows: First, the entrepreneur's self-efficacy was shown to have a significant effect on networking and entrepreneurial performance. Second, patience with ambiguity was shown not to have a significant effect on networking and entrepreneurial performance. Third, networking was shown to have an effect on entrepreneurial performance, and among the components of networking activity, network frequency and reliability were shown to significantly influence entrepreneurial performance, while network range was shown not to have a significant effect on it. Therefore, for performance improvement of start-up enterprises, rather self-efficacy of the entrepreneur's cognitive characteristic than the psychological characteristic seems more important. Also, with a practical suggestion that for the networking activity of entrepreneurs of venture businesses, network frequency and reliability may have a more critical effect rather on entrepreneurial performance than network range, the limitation and direction of this study are presented.

This study aimed to derive theoretical and practical implications by analyzing the relationship between adversity quotient, entrepreneurial orientation, and customer orientation, which are the internal competency of start-up entrepreneurs affecting the performance of a small business CEO. As in previous domestic studies, we deviated from analyzing internal competency as a single-dimensional functional relationship to business performance, and attempted to explain the relationship between the internal competences of start-up entrepreneurs. Empirical analysis was conducted by setting the adversity quotient as an independent variable, the entrepreneurial orientation as a parameter, and the customer orientation as a dependent variable. As a result of the analysis, first, it was found that control and ownership, which are sub-elements of adversity quotient, have a positive effect on entrepreneurial orientation and customer orientation. Second, entrepreneurial orientation was found to have a positive effect on customer orientation. Third, it was found that only the ownership of the adversity quotient had a positive effect on customer orientation through the mediating effect of entrepreneurial orientation. In other words, it was found that the entrepreneur's ownership influences customer orientation through entrepreneurial orientation. On the other hand, endurance, sub-element of adversity quotient, was found to have no significant effect on entrepreneurial orientation and customer orientation. This means that in the rapidly changing New Normal era, endurance of entrepreneur can no longer have a large impact on entrepreneurial orientation and customer orientation. This study gives implications for the entrepreneur's competencies that must be developed first and the tendency to be developed together. Furthermore, it can be helpful in policy designing start-up support programs and guidelines for investors' investment standards.
