Despite the growing importance of corporate venture capital (CVC) in the venture capital market, little scholarly attention has been devoted to cross-border CVC investment. Venture firms perceive higher risks of technology leakage in cross-border CVC investment than they do in domestic CVC investment due to geographical and cultural disparity. Given that venture firms would not receive CVC investment in the presence of the partner uncertainty, we argue that the likelihood of cross-border CVC investment increases with the strength of intellectual property protection (IPP) regime, the investment timing (i.e. funding round number), and the industry unrelatedness with the corporate investor. Additionally, we investigate how the venture firm's complementary resource need interact with the partner uncertainty in decisions for cross-border CVC investment. By examining 2,873 CVC investment transactions in the period 1994-2009, we found supporting evidence for the strength of IPP regime and the industry unrelatedness in mitigating the partner uncertainty of foreign corporate investors. However, the effectiveness of these factors is moderated by the type of resources that the venture firms need from the foreign corporate investors.

While IT security investment of organizations has been increased, the amount of the monetary loss of organizations caused by IT security breaches did not decrease as much as their expectation. Also, from surveys, it was discovered that the poor usage of their security budget thwarted the improvement of the organization's security level. In this paper, to resolve the poor usage of security budget of organizations, we propose a comprehensive economic model for determining the optimal amount of investment in security solutions, including the proactive security solutions(PSSs) and the reactive security solutions(RSSs). Using the proposed analytical model under different parameters of security solutions, we show the optimal condition to maximize the expected net benefits from IT security investment of organizations. Also, we verify the common belief that the optimal level of investment in security solutions is an increasing function of vulnerability. Through simulations, we find the optimal level of IT security investment, given parameters of different characteristics of security solutions.

The study explored a way to analyze return-on-investment for evaluating corporate e-learning programs. It is said to be not easy to measure return-on-investment due to complexity of determining exact amount of cost and benefit of any e-learning program. In this vein, it has been rare to see researches regarding return-on-investment for corporate e-learning programs. Nevertheless, it is needed to try to document return-on-investment evidence for verifying effectiveness of the programs. More concretely, the purpose of the study is to draw up guidelines in making decisions about whether companies should invest in e-learning programs any more at particular point of time.

Over the past three decades, the impact of information technology (IT) investments on firm performance has been the subject of active research. Despite increasing importance of research into the productivity of IT in developing countries, almost all findings on IT productivity have been based on data collected in developed countries. This study investigates the effects of IT investment on firms' financial performance in the insurance industry of Korea, which is OECD member and can be classified as a developed country in IT perspective, and in the electronics industry of China, which is a developing country, and compare them. The findings show that IT investment has a positive and significant impact on firm efficiency in both Korea and China, but a weakly positive impact on firm growth in only Korea. Moreover, the size of the impact on efficiency (ROA) in China is significantly larger than that in Korea.

The study divided the life cycle of Chinese companies into three stages from 2011 to 2017, 3,750 small and medium-sized enterprises(SME) used disclosure data to analyze the intensity of R&D investment by company life cycle. The analysis showed that the impact of wealth(ROA) on the performance of R&D investment(RDS) and the next(t) business performance, and research and development investments had a different impact on the company's performance depending on the life cycle of the company. The results of this study are expected to help determine the amount of expenditure related to R&D investment and the time of input of resources in consideration of industrial characteristics and corporate characteristics when making strategic decisions related to R&D investment of companies.

The purpose of this study is to analyze how the relative proportion of retention between real estate for business and investment real estate among the real estate held by corporations has been changed after and before the Financial Crisis as well as whether there has been any difference between KOSPI and KOSDAQ listed companies in terms of their share of the real estate. The increasing pattern of real estate owned by KOSDAQ were similar to the KOSPI companies except for investment properties during the Financial Crisis. The proportion of real estate owned by KOSPI had been lower than that of KOSDAQ companies in both investment and business real estate before the Financial Crisis. However, during the period of the Financial Crisis, the proportion of real estate for business held by KOSPI firms was higher than that of KOSDAQ firms. Furthermore, the portion of investment of real estate owned by KOSPI has remained higher than that of KOSDAQ after the Financial Crisis period and the recent period. Based on the results of this analysis, how the relevance of the change of portion between real estate for business and investment real estate affects management performance will be figured out in the future studies.

본 연구는 우리나라 상장기업에서 만연하고 있는 대주주와 소액주주간의 차등배당이 결정되는 배경을 이해하기 위하여 투자재원가설, 이익가설 및 특권적소비가설의 세가지 가설을 설정하고 상장기업 191개사에 대하여 1987년부터 1996년까지 10년간을 자료를 이용하여 실증분석을 실시하였다. 실증분석은 균등배당업체와 차등배당업체간의 기업 특성의 평균차이분석과 차등배당여부를 종속변수로 하고 기업특성변수를 독립변수로 한 Logit 분석의 두 가지를 실시하였는데 실증분석결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 먼저 이익가설은 전반적으로 지지되었으나 이익가설의 핵심인 배당감소의 역정보효과가설은 지지하는 뚜렷한 증거를 발견할 수 없었다. 투자 재원가설은 재벌기업과 비재벌기업간에 큰 차이를 보였는데 비재벌기업은 투자재원의 크기가 차등배당가능성에 유의적인 부의 영향을 주는 반면 재벌기업은 투자재원의 크기가 차등배당에 유의적인 영향을 주지 않는 것으로 나타나 재벌기업에는 내부자본시장이 존재함이 간접적으로 입증되었다. 끝으로 특권적소비가설은 제2대주주의 존재여부가 차등배당 가능성에 부의 유의적인 영향을 주는 것으로 나타나 부분적으로 지지되었다.

기업에서 올바른 품질관리를 수행하기 위해서는 1차적으로 품질수준을 결정하는 각각의 요인들에 대한 정확한 데이터의 확보가 필요하며, 이를 위한 측정(measurement) 수단 또한 매우 중요하다고 할 수 있다. 올바른 측정을 위해서는 양호한 측정기기 뿐만 아니라, 이를 효과적으로 다룬 수 있는 측정인력의 존재 통은 필수적 요건이라 할 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 제품 생산의 불량률에 대한 추정방정식으로 많이 사용되는 로짓(logit) 모형을 이용하여 기업의 측정표준 관련 투자가 제품의 품질에 미치는 효과를 분석하였는데, 그 결과 측정 및 풀질관리 인력, 측정설비 구입비 및 표준실 운영비 통의 측정 관련 투자, 인증표준물질의 사용이 제품생산의 불량률 감소를 가져와 제품의 풀질에 효과를 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 기업의 측정표준 투자 결정요인을 분석한 결과, 기업의 연구개발 투자가 많을수록, 시장에서의 독점력이 높을수록, 기업규모가 클수록, 피리고 재무구조가 탄탄할수록 측정표준 투자가 큰 것으로 나타났다.
