The main purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of COVID-19 risk perception on the operational activities and performance of incubator tenant companies during the early stages of the COVID-19 outbreak. The primary variables considered for the operational activities of incubator tenant companies include financial management, research and development, marketing, and downsizing. Financial and non-financial performance are the key variables for business performance. The research findings indicate that COVID-19 risk perception has a significant impact only on downsizing, but it does not significantly affect financial management, research and development, or marketing. Additionally, COVID-19 risk perception has a significantly negative impact on both financial and non-financial performance. Financial management and marketing significantly influence financial performance, while research and development and downsizing do not seem to have a significant impact on financial performance. Conversely, research and development, as well as marketing activities, significantly impact non-financial performance, while financial management and downsizing lack a significant influence on non-financial performance. Finally, when examining incubator tenant companies categorized into early-stage, leap-stage, and growth-stage companies, it was observed that only marketing activities have a common and significant impact on non-financial performance across all three types of companies.

최근 들어 고용없는 성장 및 청년 실업율이 높아지면서 기술을 기반으로 한 창업의 산실인 창업보육센터(Business Incubator : BI)의 역할이 주목을 받고 있다. 이와 더불어 이에 대한 연구들로서 BI의 효율적인 운영과 성과측면에도 많은 연구들이 이루어져 왔다. 국내외 선행연구들은 크게 BI의 지원서비스유형 및 정도가 입주기업의 성과에 미치는 영향 과 입주 기업의 특성유형 및 정도가 성과에 미치는 영향으로 대분된다. 즉 BI의 성공요소들(Critical Success Factors), BI의 지원서비스, BI 내부조직 등과 BI 성과와의 상관관계분석 등에 초점이 맞추어 졌다. 또한 입주기업들이 BI 입주시 지니고 있는 잠재적인 역량 즉, 사업아이템 경쟁력이나 CEO역량, 기술 사업화 역량들이 기업들의 사업화성공률 향상과 BI의 성과에 영향을 미치는 것으로 분석되었다. 그러나 BI의 성과에 영향을 미치는 업무시스템 관여정도와 매니저의 역량에 대한 연구는 미흡한 측면이 있었다. 따라서 본 연구는 이러한 문제들을 연구하기 위하여 첫째, BI가 제공하는 보육서비스 특성과 이러한 특성들이 BI성과에 영향을 미치는 상관관계를 분석하고 둘째, BI의 업무역량이 보육지원서비스와 BI 성과에 미치는 조절효과를 분석하고자 하였다.

The aim of this study is to determine factors that affect the competitiveness and the move-in environment of migration companies according to the recent change of location conditions of industrial complexes. The results of analysis show that productive factor and economic factor are related to the main factors that determine the location environment. The resident companies have a strong link to the economic characteristics factors, which seems to be related to the expectation and satisfaction for public support facilities, hospitals, educational institutions, and administrative agencies to be placed in the complex, encouraging companies to be located in the complex. In other words, if the existing economic factors and public support facilities were complemented, it can be inferred that the industrial complex promotion policies will be more effectively planned. Also, transportation and infrastructure facilities are analyzed as successful factors for resident companies. In addition, the economic and productive environments turn out to affect public support facilities and environmental factors of infrastructure as major factors. The results of this study are expected to be a useful guideline in determining the resident policy or external factors for the future industrial complex.
