창업학에서 프랜차이즈 비즈니스는 주요 연구분야이다. 또한 국가경제에서 프랜차이즈 산업의 비중과 중요성은 점차 증가하고 있다. 특히, 교육부문에서도 기존 중소형 학원의 점유율은 점점 낮아지고 대형학원 및 프랜차이즈 학원의 비중은 점점 커지고 있다. 이에 따라 프랜차이즈 학원의 경영자와 그 구성원들의 시장지향성 활동 및 경쟁우위의 창출의 중요성은 높아지고 있다. 본 연구는 고객지향성 및 경쟁자지향성이 경쟁우위와 경영성과에 미치는 직 간접적인 영향을 프랜차이즈 학원을 대상으로 분석함으로써 학원 운영의 시사점을 제공하고자 시도되었다. 연구결과 조직 내 고객지향성과 경쟁자지향성으로 구성된 시장지향적인 활동과 공유는 경쟁우위가 되는 시장차별화 및 혁신차별화에 영향을 미치고 있으며, 이를 통해 창출된 경쟁우위는 시장성과 및 재무성과에 영향을 주고 있음을 확인하였다. 그리고 시장지향성은 시장차별화와 혁신차별화를 매개로 경영성과에 간접적인 영향을 미치고 있다. 이러한 연구결과는 학원경영자에게 시장지향적인 활동과 조직 내 공유를 통한 경쟁우위 창출의 중요성을 알려주고 있다.

This Research is based on the theory of the prior researches that have demonstrated a positive impact of the entrepreneurship and competitive advantages on business performance. And the purpose of this research which approaches in the viewpoint of combining a entrepreneurial attribute including two factors(entrepreneurship and commercialization capabilities) and the differentiated competitive advantage as a role of core competence is to examine how the combined competence affects the business performance. In order to achieve this purpose, we conduct a survey for CEO of 250 small firms which belong to the start-up phase and are located in the 6 administrative region with the assistance of Small & Medium Business Administration representatives and analyze empirically the survey data by utilizing statistical program(Spss 18.0). As the results, we conclude that the entrepreneurial attributes of small firms' CEO and DFCA have a positive impact on business performance respectively and the entrepreneurship, one of the two entrepreneurial factors, has a positive impact on choosing DFCA. Also we report that DFCA plays a mediating role with regards to relationship between entrepreneurial attributes and business performance. Therefore, this research suggests the followings: First, the CEO of start-up business should focus on building a differential competitive advantage which is the basis for creating competitiveness from the initial point. Secondly, he should make a alignment for core competencies, in order to reach the stable growth phase in the shortest period, through which the entrepreneurial attributes is to be inherent as a discriminatory competitive competence. Third, he should promote to establish a business strategy based on strengthening of entrepreneurship and discriminatory competitive as a growth strategy during start-up phase.

Second, it is found that both experiential competence and marketing competence have significant positive effects on the differentiated competitive advantage. On the other hand, the financing competence has not been shown to have a significant effect on the differentiated competitive advantage, which might result from the characteristic of the data that most of the respondents are from new businesses. Third, it is shown that the differentiated competitive advantage has a positive effect on both financial and non-financial performances. In conclusion, the results of this study suggest a theoretical basis for the successful start-up performance.

This study empirically analyzes the relationships among small and medium-sized stores' competitive strategies, marketing capabilities, and retail performance to cope with hostile environments like mass merchandisers' threats. To accomplish the proposed research objectives, data were collected from 325 small and medium-sized stores scattered nationwide. Three types of competitive strategies were significantly classified as follows cost leadership, merchandise differentiation, and service differentiation. Also, several strategic groups such as doing-nothing type, service differentiation type, cost leadership type, and merchandiser differentiation type were recognized through the cluster analysis. The test results show that the small and medium-sized stores perceiving hostile environments less importantly marked the high retail performance among clusters like cost leadership type, merchandise differentiation type, and even doing-nothing type. On the other hand, the moderating effects resulted from the interaction between strategic groups and environmental hostility did not have significant influence on retail performance. Additionally, merchandise differentiation cluster obtains and accumulates marketing capability most efficiently and the cluster like cost leadership, service differentiation, and doing-nothing follows next in order. Finally, merchandise differentiation cluster shows the most highest retail performance among the clusters while there was no difference between cost leadership and service differentiation cluster in terms of retail performance.

2008년 글로벌 경제위기 이후 회복세를 보이던 세계 경제가 유럽 등 각국의 재정위기 여파로 장기간의 저성장 국면에 접어들었다는 견해가 확산되고 있다. 이러한 장기침체 국면에서 지속 성장을 달성하기 위해서는 경쟁우위 확보 전략을 원점에서 재검토해야 한다. 또한 기업이 경쟁력을 확보하기 위해서는 품질 측면의 차별화 전략과 원가 측면의 저비용 전략을 실행해야 한다. 여기서는 삼성경제연구소의 '강한 기업의 저성장기 극복전략' 보고서를 통해 위기에서 선전하고 있는 주요 기업의 사례를 중심으로 강한 기업의 저성장기 전략의 특징과 차별화 전략을 저비용 전략의 관점에서 살펴본다.

중국 중소기업들은 기업 경영에서 아웃소싱을 광범위하게 활용하고 있다. 이에 따라 아웃소싱을 위한 정보 수집 및 활용 역량은 기업의 성과에 영향을 미치는 매우 중요한 역량으로 작용할 수 있다. 특히, 글로벌 시장에서 이러한 정보 역량은 기업의 수출 경쟁력을 제고하고, 지속가능한 성과 향상의 핵심 역량으로 작용할 수 있디. 이에 본 연구에서는 중국 중소기업의 이러한 아웃소싱 전략을 개방형 혁신 전략의 프레임워크에서 논의하고, 중국 중소기업의 정보수집 및 활용 능력이 기업들이 추진하는 제품 차별화나 원가우위 전략에 미치는 영향을 실증분석 하였다. 또한, 이러한 정보 역량들이 궁극적으로 기업의 최종적인 성과로서 수출성과에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 검증하였다. 이를 위하여 설문조사를 통해 중국 중소기업 345개사의 응답을 확보하였고, 구조방정식모형(SEM)을 통해 실증분석을 실시하였다. 분석 결과 중국 중소기업들의 정보수집 및 활용 역량은 각각 제품차별화 전략과 원가우위전략의 실행에 긍정적 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 이를 통해 최종적으로 기업의 수출성과 역시 향상되는 것을 규명하였다.
