Daejeon City has strived to support the SMEs to innovate technologies based on the capabilities of research and development of the Daedeok Innopolis. It is widely known that technological innovation is the key strategy of Small medium enterprises(SME) to survive and succeed in a market. This study aims to analyze the type and determinants of SME technological innovation in Daejeon. Even though most of firms are the small enterprises which employ less than 10 workers in Daejeon, the number of technology-oriented company per capita in Daejeon is highest in South Korea. The type of technological innovation is divided between product innovation and process innovation. The literature insists that technology-oriented small firm tends to implement product innovation rather than process innovation. SMEs in Daejeon also provided more output from product innovation than process innovation. The empirical analysis provided the results that the determinants of SME's technological innovation depends on its type. The scale of firm, R&D investment, and R&D employees positively influence product innovation of SMEs in Daejeon. However, the impact of R&D employees is not significant on innovating the existing product. Process innovation is positively affected by R&D investment and firm age. The study provides the policy implications to business supporting programs of Daejeon government. The business supporting policy of Daejeon government should focus on supporting each type of technological innovation to promote technological innovation by SME and consider strategies that focus on R&D investment and manpower support.

캄보디아는 한국의 정보통신 분야의 성공 사례를 자국의 발전모델로 삼아 정보통신 분야를 미래 성장동력으로 빈곤 극복과 경제성장을 추진하고자 한다. 그러나 세계 최빈국 중 하나이며, 사회간접자본과 정보통신 인프라가 매우 낙후된 캄보디아가 선진국의 원조나 외국 기업의 직접투자 없이 정보통신 분야의 발전과 이를 통한 사회경제개발을 단기간에 달성하기는 어려울 것으로 보인다. 우리나라의 입장에서 캄보디아는 협소한 시장과 낮은 전략적 가치로 인해 정보통신 기업의 시장 진출이 활발하지 않고 KOICA와 KOEXIM의 정보통신 분야에 대한 개발협력 사업의 비중도 매우 낮은 실정이다. 그러나 최근 들어 양국 간 관계가 급속히 강화되고 있고 아세안 시장 진출의 교두보로서 캄보디아의 중요성이 증대하고 있다. 따라서 본고에서는 우리 정보통신 기업의 캄보디아 시장 진출을 지원하기 위한 사전 연구로서 정보통신 시장 현황을 파악하고 각 정부기관의 역할 등을 정리하였다. 그리고 우리 기업의 현지 시장 진출 시 고려할 요인들을 소개하고 정책 방향을 제시하였다.

Recently, the platform industry is rapidly growing in the global market, and competition is intensifying at the same time. Therefore, in order for domestic platform companies to have global competitiveness in the platform market, it is necessary to study the platform business ecosystem and success factors. However, most of the recent platform-related studies have been theoretical studies on the characteristics of platform business status analysis, platform economy, and indirect network externalities of platforms. Therefore, this study comprehensively analyzed the success factors of Silicon Valley's business ecosystem proposed in previous studies, and at the same time analyzed the success factors extracted from stakeholders in the actual Silicon Valley platform business ecosystem. And based on these factors, an IPA analysis was conducted as a way to propose a success plan to stakeholders in the platform business ecosystem. As a result of the analysis, among the success factors collected through previous studies, manpower, capital, and challenge culture were identified as factors that are relatively well maintained in both importance and satisfaction in Silicon Valley. In the end, it can be seen that the creation of an environment and culture in which Silicon Valley can use it to challenge itself based on excellent human resources and abundant capital contributes the most to the success of Silicon Valley's platform business. On the other hand, although it is of high importance to Silicon Valley's platform corporate ecosystem, the factors that show relatively low satisfaction among stakeholders are 'learning and benchmarking among active companies' and 'strong ties and cooperation between members', and it is analyzed that interest and effort are needed to strengthen these factors in the future. Finally, the systems and policies necessary for market autonomous competition, 'business support service industry', 'name value', and 'spin-off start-up' were important factors in literature research, but the importance and satisfaction of these factors were lowered due to changes in the times and environment. This study has academic implications in that it comprehensively analyzes the success factors of Silicon Valley's business ecosystem proposed in previous studies, and at the same time analyzes the success factors extracted from stakeholders in the actual Silicon Valley platform business ecosystem. In addition, there is another academic implications that importance and satisfaction were simultaneously examined through IPA analysis based on these various extracted factors. As for academic implications, it is meaningful in that it contributed to the formation of the domestic platform ecosystem by providing the government and companies with concrete information on the success factors of the platform business ecosystem and the theoretical grounds for the growth of domestic platform businesses.

This study conducted an in-depth case study of bio-health companies in the Chungcheong region to examine the factors influencing the relocation of new industry cluster firms in non-metropolitan areas. Focusing on the experiences and perceptions of key stakeholders within the cluster, which have been relatively overlooked in previous research, this narrative research explored the factors that lead entrepreneurs who initially founded their businesses in non-metropolitan areas to relocate to metropolitan areas as well as the decision-making process involved. Through interviews with 61 key stakeholders within the Chungcheong cluster, it was observed that entrepreneurs receive various benefits from local stakeholders during the initial stages of entrepreneurship. However, as the company enters a phase of significant growth, matters such as securing specialized talent and market accessibility lead them to contemplate relocating to metropolitan areas. Based on case studies of companies that both remained and relocated in the Chungcheong region, this study examines structural drawbacks within non-metropolitan clusters and provides policy implications.

This paper empirically examines multiskill formation as a critical mechanism of human capital accumulation within the firm. We investigate various factors that foster multiskill formation of the employees at the workplace. We also investigate whether and how multiskill formation of the employees, in tum, affect the labor productivity. Our empirical results are summarized as the following. First, skills of the employees are developed along the sequential path rather than the parallel path. They evolve from the simple-skill to the single-skill, and then to the multi-skill state. Second, multi skilling is stimulated by uncertainty factors of the environment and various human resource management practices such as mutual learning among workers, workers' participation in decision making, and job rotation. Third, the increase in the ratio of multiskilled workers in the firm has a positive impact on the growth of the firm's labor productivity. Our analyses show that the labor productivity growth increases by 0.019 with the increase in multi skilling ratio by 0.1. Fourth, uncertainty and human resource management practices had an indirect impact on labor productivity growth only through multiskilling. These results strongly indicate that multiskilling is a result of human capital accumulation fostered by various human resource management practices.

In the construction industry, "Green" is emerging as a keyword of new growth engine. Since green construction competitiveness is essential for contractors' survival and growth, it is important to understand what constitutes green construction competitiveness. The objective of the study is to identify elements of green construction competitiveness and to discuss relationships between their importance and current level based on the Gap analysis. A better understanding of the elements of green construction competitiveness assists contractors in formulating green strategies. It also provides insight into what motivates contractors in establishing related policies and regulations. The study identifies that in general there exists a gap between the importance and current level of green construction competitiveness. It also demonstrates that CEO' competence shows a less gap between the importance and current level but firms' competence is an area of weakness. Finally a substantial gap is observed in the field of green R&D strategies and sub-contracting partners.

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.

국가차원의 창업장려책으로 인해 제2의 벤처붐이라고 부를 만큼 스타트업 및 벤처 창업이 활성화되면서, 데스밸리를 극복하고 창업의 성공률을 높이기 위한 노력의 중요성이 대두되고 있다. 기업이 생존율을 높이고 성장으로 나아가기 위해서는 죽음의 계곡에 직면하는 가장 큰 부분인 자금 조달 및 투자유치에 대한 고민과 대책이 필요하다. 창업의 활성화는 창업초기의 높은 실패율을 낮출 수 있는지의 여부가 그 성패를 좌우하는 중요한 요인이다. 기업의 생존은 기업의 내적 요인뿐만 아니라 기업의 외적요인인 시장이나 산업의 상황에 의해서 영향을 받는다. 본 연구에서는 혁신 부서를 보유한 기업의 전략적 지향성과 외부지식활용 능력인 흡수역량이 스타트업의 데스밸리 극복에 미치는 영향을 살펴보고자 한다. 또한 스타트업 생태계 특징인 개방형혁신과 벤처캐피탈 지원의 조절효과를 분석하고자 한다. 종속변수는 기업이 손익분기점을 달성 한 후의 매출액, 순이익, 시장점유율, 종업원 수의 증가를 봄으로써 데스밸리 극복의 기준으로 삼고자 한다. 분석결과 전략적 지향성은 데스밸리 극복에 정(+)의 영향을 주는 것을 밝혀졌다. 흡수역량과 개방형혁신, 벤처캐피탈의 지원의 조절효과는 표본수가 적고 결측값 있으므로 유의미한 영향을 확인하지 못하였지만 추후 표본수를 늘려 다시 측정한 후 그 결과를 보고자 한다.
