This paper empirically examines the effects of green technology patent on the financial performance of SMEs and venture specialized green enterprises. In particular, this paper is focused on analysing the financial performance difference by comparing the financial condition of 1st year before and 1st year after the application of green technology patent, and the one of 1st year before and 2nd year after it using sales, operating profit, net income, ratio of operating profit to net sales, and ratio of net profit to net sales. The statistical significances were accepted on sales after 1st and 2nd year, operating profit and ratio of net profit to net sales after 1st year, and ratio of operating profit to net sales after 2nd year. This paper proposes the vitalization of green consumption market, the reinforcement of green financial policy, the installation of financing windows, the improvement of unfair business conducts of large enterprises, and the reinforcement of win-win partnership between large enterpsises and SMEs as policy issues of Korean government in order to promote SMEs and venture specialized green enterprises.

This study examines the relationships between export intensity and knowledge search activities of Korea SME manufacturers. Using 2,145 firm data from the 2011 SME Technology Statistics Survey, we focused on the nonlinear relationships of export intensity and internal and external knowledge search activities. The results show that there are U-shaped relationships between export intensity and both of internal and external knowledge search activities. Local market-oriented or global market-oriented SMEs than the middle-level of exporters have more search activities both internally and externally. This study extends our understandings on the relationships between export intensity and knowledge search activities. There are some policy implications to develop supporting programs differing in knowledge search activities according to the acceleration of export or globalization of Korean SME manufacturers.

This study analyzed the impact of the investment of venture capital firms(VCFs) on the technological advancement of SMEs, which could be represented as the numerical increasement of patents. The results of this study are as follows: the higher proportion of VCFs' shares or the higher intensity of R&D, the more positive impact has been shown in the technological advancement of SMEs. Also, the joint investment of VCFs or the leading investors' stock acquirement had a positive impact on the technological improvement of them. Meanwhile, the meaningful relationships of company-size and the technical manpower with technological development were not identified although they were marginally positive. Those could be interpreted that the VCFs' supervision and control, including their managerial and technical advice, over invested companies display effectiveness for SMEs. It could also be interpreted that investors concentrate their investment on the relatively stable companies or the companies which other investors already finished screening.

To commemorate the 40th anniversary of the foundation of the Korean Association of Small Business Studies, this study reviewed research papers on the subject of entrepreneurship in the Asia Pacific Journal of Small Business. For 40 years, the subjects of entrepreneurship-related studies published in this journal were relatively limited and the number of articles was very few. The research papers mainly focus on defining entrepreneurship as an innovation or as a determinant of innovation and survey-based empirical studies have been conducted since the publication of the Entrepreneurial Orientation(EO) by Lumpkin and Dess(1996). Although entrepreneurship is a research field that can be approached from various perspectives such as economics, sociology, psychology, cultural anthropology, and organization theory, most of the papers published in the Asia Pacific Journal of Small Business do not clearly state their theoretical positions or viewpoints. Moreover, there are few studies that incorporate corporate entrepreneurs or startup teams although they have been major actors or entrepreneurship. Lastly, innovation has been the main focus of research, leaving other arenas such as opportunity recognition and discovery understudied. In order to increase the quantity and improve the quality in the entrepreneurship research, we need to have the entrepreneurship field as one academic section in the Asia Pacific Journal of Small Business.

교육훈련은 기업의 인적자본을 축적하고 혁신을 자극하여 공급측면을 확장한다. 또한 기업 경쟁력 강화에 따른 임금상승과 소비증대, 투자 확대 등 총수요 확장효과도 있다. 그러나 만성적인 현장의 인력 부족, 높은 비정규직 비율 등의 특성을 안고 있는 중소기업의 경우 근로자에 대한 교육훈련 비율이 상대적으로 낮은 것으로 나타나고 있다. 본 연구는 미래신산업으로 평가받고 있는 보건산업분야 교육담당자 및 교육생을 대상으로 교육참여 애로사항을 조사하고 정책적 시사점을 도출하였다. 첫째, 업종 및 기업규모와 관련 없이 가장 큰 애로요인은 교육에 참가할 시간부족이 나타났다. 업종별로는 병원분야가 제조업인 제약, 의료기기, 화장품분야 보다 시간적 제약에 대한 지적이 많아 병원분야 인력부족 문제가 교육 참여에도 영향을 미치고 있는 것을 보여주었다. 둘째, 지방소재 기업일수록 지리적 접근성을 애로요인으로 지적하고 있어 지역 교육 및 기업 현장으로의 찾아가는 교육의 필요성이 도출되었다. 셋째, 중소기업에서 교육정보 인지도를 문제로 지적했는데, 이는 교육 관련 조직이 미비한 중소기업일수록 교육정보 확보 및 사내전파가 낮기 때문으로 추정된다. 이러한 연구결과는 단기 다수교육과정 즉 카페테리아식 교육과정과 사이버과정을 통한 종사자들의 선택권 강화, 지역 및 기업 현장으로의 찾아가는 교육, 중소기업에 대한 지속적인 교육정보 제공 및 사내 전파, 교육참여 우수기업과 종사자에 대한 표창 등의 유인체계가 필요함을 시사한다.

In this study, we examined the effects of major shareholder's holdings and foreign shareholder's holdings on capital structure with the samples of listed non-financial firms in KOSPI and KOSDAQ. More specifically, we conduct the data on 7,074 large firms and 2,394 SMEs(Small-Medium Enterprises) before and after the adoption of K-IFRS from 2002 to 2019. The main results can be summarized as follows. The results indicate that the adoption of K-IFRS affects the capital structure of large firms more than SMEs. The major shareholder's holdings and the foreign shareholder's holdings of the large and SMEs listed on the KOSPI and the KOSDAQ market have a significant effect on the leverage ratio. It can be seen that major shareholders of large firms and SMEs reduce the leverage ratio by recognizing the use of debt as financial risk. In addition, it can be seen that regardless of whether or not K-IFRS is adopted, foreign shareholders recognize the use of debt as financial risk and reduce the leverage ratio in order to reduce the investment risk.

Recently, the Moon administration established the Ministry of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) and Startups, as part of its national strategy for start-up and innovation growth led by small and medium-sized venture companies. In a slowing economy, as venture companies with excellent internal competencies are seen to be favorable to growth, the government funding for technology development is becoming increasingly important. Previous studies examine the internal competence factors that can strengthen competitiveness through self-efforts and the influence structure of growth stage, which is an important factor in industrial environment, on business performance. As the government support for venture firms has been strengthened, the effect of government funding on the management performance and technological innovation performance of venture firms have been recently discussed in various ways. However, there is a lack of precedent research on the moderating effect of the utilization of government funding on the existing influence structure in which firm's internal competence and growth stages affects business performance. Therefore, this study examined whether the internal competencies of the venture firms and the stage of growth have direct effects on business performance and analyzed the moderating effect in connection with government funding utilization under these influence structures. The results of the study are as follows. First, the utilization of government funding in the venture firms whose R&D personnel ratio is relatively low, not to have own brands and showed an increase of employees has a significantly positive influence on business performance. Second, the moderating effects of the government funding utilization at the high growth stage of the venture firms are shown significantly. These results suggest that the venture policy linked to the job creation of the present government requires not only the support considering R&D personnel but also the necessity of supporting human resources policy to a greater extent and further study on the effectiveness of venture firms in the high growth stage.

최근 인공지능 시대 및 제 4차 산업 혁명 시대의 도래로 제품 간, 제품과 서비스 간, 서비스 간 산업이 다양한 형태로 진화 중이며, 이종기술 산업 간의 융 복합화로 새로운 제3의 신산업이 등장하고 있다. 또한 소위 말하는 O2O(Online to Offline)는 이미 운송, 금융(핀테크), 자동차(카테크), 숙박, 음식, 의료(헬스케어테크) 등 많은 산업 분야에 진출, 기존 전통 산업과 충돌, 인허가에 어려움을 겪고 있으며 이러한 O2O는 IOT(사물인터넷)로 급속도로 가속화 되고 있다. 이렇듯 4차 산업 혁명에 따른 신산업의 탄생은 산업의 경계를 붕괴하고 있음에도 산업별로 구분된 제도, 규제, 지원정책 등은 여전히 신산업 창업의 장애가 되고 있다. 이에, 본 연구에서는 국내 벤처특별법, 창업지원법, 1인 창조기업법 내 투자 지원 업종과 미국을 비롯한 해외 창업 관련법 내 창업 지원 제한 업종과의 비교 분석, 몇 가지 중요한 시사점을 도출했다. 먼저, 우리나라가 선진국에 비해 지나치게 투자 제한 업종이 많음을 확인했다. 또한 선진국은 미풍양속을 해치는 업종, 투기적 사업 등 사회통념상 문제가 되는 사행성 업종을 제외하고는 대다수의 업종이 정책 지원 대상이다. 업종과 더불어 투자 행위로 투자 심사를 해 신산업 투자에 매우 탄력적으로 운영할 수 있게 설계되어 있다. 심지어 미국의 경우, 적극적 창업 투자를 위해 업종 및 투자 행위에 대한 심의를 중소기업청이 직접 수행한다. 특히, 우리나라의 중소기업창업투자회사제도는 미국의 중소기업투자회사(SBIC) 제도와 유사한 반면 투자 제한 업종 뿐 아니라 제도 운영 특히, 창업투자회사에 대한 관리 측면에서 매우 큰 차이가 있음을 보여주고 있다. 우리나라 중기청은 간접관리를 하는 반면, 미국은 중기청 내에서 직접 관리를 하고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 우리나라 창업 벤처 투자 제한을 미국을 비롯한 기타 외국의 사례에서와 같이 사회통념상 불가피한 업종과 더불어 투자 행위로 정의하길 제안한다.

There were considerable researches by finance people trying to find out business ratios as predictors of corporate bankruptcy. However, such financial ratios usually lack theoretical justification to predict bankruptcy for technology-oriented small sized venture firms. This study proposes a bankruptcy predictive discriminant model using technology evaluation data instead of financial data, evaluates the model fit by the correct classification rate, cross-validation method and M-P-P method. The results indicate that linear discriminant model was found to be more appropriate model than the logistic discriminant model and 69% of original grouped data were correctly classified while 67% of future data were expected to be classified correctly.
