The study analyzed the financial determinants of corporate R&D intensity that require more attention from academics and practitioners in the Korean capital market. Domestic small and medium enterprises (SMEs) may face with developing substitutes by making more R&D investments in scale and scope, given the unprecedented economic conditions such as the limitation of importing core components and materials from other nation(s). KOSDAQ-listed SMEs were selected as sample data, whose R&D expenditures may be less than those of large firms during the post-global financial turmoil period (2010~2018). Static panel data model was applied, along with Tobit and stepwise regression models, for examining the validity of results. Logit, probit, and complementary log-log regressions were also employed for a relative analysis. R&D expenditures in the prior year, the interaction effect between the previous R&D intensity and high-tech sector, firm size, and growth rate were significant to determine R&D intensity. Moreover, a majority of explanatory variables were found to change between the years 2011 and 2018, while time-lagged effects between the R&D intensity and growth rate exist. Results of the study are expected to be used for future research to detect optimal levels of R&D expenditures for the value maximization of SMEs.

This research analyses the financial characteristics of corporate R&D intensity in the Korean capital market. It is important to pay greater attention to this subject, given the current situation of the shortage of core components domestically in Korea. Three hypotheses are postulated to investigate the financial factors of R&D investments for KOSDAQ-listed firms during the post-era of the global financial turmoil. By applying a conditional quantile regression (CQR) model, three variables included R&D intensity in the previous year (Lag_RD), the squared term of Lag_RD, and interaction between the high-tech sector and Lag_Rd, reveal significant effects on the current R&D ratio. Whereas more than half of the total variables show variable impacts between firms with higher and lower R&D intensity, only Lag_RD and squared term of Lag_RD were found to be significant. It is expected that these results may contribute to being financial catalysts for an optimal level of R&D expenditures, thereby maximizing firm value for shareholders in KOSDAQ-listed firms.

본 논문은 매출액대비연구개발비비중과 배당성향이라는 두 지표를 사용하여 IPO 전후 기업 경영의 변화를 관측하고, 이 같은 변화가 장기적인 기업 발전을 위한 창업자의 지배권 보장이라는 차등의결권 주식 발행의 필요성을 입증하는지 검토한다. 매출액대비연구개발비와 배당성향은 각각 장기적인 목적과 단기적 목적의 현금흐름 사용의 대표적 지표로서, 두 지표는 현금흐름의 처분에 대한 주주의 압력을 간접적으로 측정하는 지표이다. 두 지표가 IPO를 전후하여 크게 차이를 보이며, 또 그 차이가 단기적 이익보다 장기적 성과를 중시하는 방향으로 나타난다면 장기적 기업 가치 제고를 위해 차등의결권의 유용성을 방증할 수 있으나, 반대의 경우에는 차등의결권 도입의 실증적 근거가 미약하다고 할 수 있다. 본 논문의 분석 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 2000년부터 2016년까지 유가증권시장과 코스닥시장, 코넥스시장에 상장한 기업 중 IPO 전후 3년 간, 즉 t-3년 ~ t+3년에 각각 연구개발비비중과 배당성향을 공시하고 있는 278개 기업과 37개 기업을 조사한 결과, 매출액대비연구개발비 비중이 IPO 이후 반드시 감소하였다고 판단할 수 없었다. 둘째, 배당성향은 일관되게 IPO 이전 수준이 IPO 이후 수준보다 높았다. 이 같은 결과는 기업의 장기적 발전을 위하여 창업자의 지배권을 보장하기 위해 차등의결권이 필요하다는 주장의 실증적 근거가 명확하지 않음을 의미한다. 단기적 시각의 주주에 대항하여 현금흐름과 지배권이 분리된 주식을 발행할 필요가 있다는 주장보다는 차등의결권이 지배주주의 경영권 영속화의 수단으로 활용될 수 있다는 비판이 보다 설득력이 있을 수 있다.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of Prior Sales change on R&D Costs and each detail item, and to analyze what decision managers make when changing sales. In order to conduct a more in-depth analysis as well as a one-period model of Anderson et al. (2003), which was used in previous studies, the two-period model of Banker et al.(2014) And analyzed the detailed items. As a result of the analysis, it is possible to confirm cost stickiness behavior only in the depreciation cost and others due to the limit of the model in the one period model. For a more in-depth analysis, the analysis of two-period model showed that labor costs and other items showed cost stickiness behavior when prior sales increased, but total R&D costs showed a anti-cost stickiness behavior. When prior sales decline, consigned service costs showed a cost stickiness behavior. This study is meaningful because it analyzed the effect of prior sales change on R&D cost behavior which were not performed in previous studies. Furthermore, we expect to be able to conduct more detailed research by sales and industry in future studies.

This study explores differential value implications of R&D expenditure across firms, especially in terms of growth potential of small businesses. Analyzing Korean listed firms for the period from 1982 to 2014, we document the followings. First, large firms, defined as the top quintile group based on market capitalization, have spent higher R&D expenditure compared to small (bottom quintile group) and medium (middle quintile groups) firms and the difference between groups has enlarged over time. Relatedly, the persistence of R&D spending, measured by the association between current R&D expenditure and cumulative future R&D expenditure over the next five years, is lowest in small firms. Second, R&D of large (small) firms are more (less) likely to generate operating profits over the next five years. Additional analyses suggest that the relation between R&D and gross margin is strongest in large firms, suggesting that R&D underlies their competitiveness in the product market. Third, small firms have borne the highest uncertainty related to R&D investment proxied by the association between current R&D and volatility of future earnings. As a result, the likelihood of R&D leading to future patents is also lowest in small firms. Fourth, the probability of moving up to the next size group within the next five years is significantly lower in small firms than others. Finally, we find that the divergence in R&D expenditure between large and small firms is positively associated with product market concentration. Overall, our findings confirm the small business growth trap in relation to R&D investment.

This study researches the correlation between the firm value, which can be represented as Tobin's Q in this paper, and other financial information. The research is based on the financial statistics of KOSDAQ-listed Venture manufactures, which is comprised of the venture businesses group and the general group. The multiple regression, the correlation test tool, shows the R&D expenditures and tangible assets have the positive relation with the firm value while training expenses and the return on assets have the negative one. More specifically, R&D expenditures and total assets have the affirmative relations with the firm value among the venture businesses, whereas tangible assets, advertising expenses, and training expenses have the negative ones. The positive correlation between total assets and the firm value of venture business, shows that the volume of intangible assets impacts on the firm value of venture businesses. It also reflects the features of venture businesses highly relying on the technology development. The results are summarized as follows: First, The R&D expenditures and firm value have been positively correlated in the KOSDAQ-listed companies. Second, total assets and firm value has the positive correlation in the venture businesses.
