Recently, competition to provide specialized services for the information and communications industry has accelerated in terms of future technology and investment strategy of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Technological innovations related to information and communications can be seen as increasing productivity, creating added value for companies, and playing a pivotal role in the development of economic growth. Therefore, efficient management of the information and communications industry is important. This study analyzes management efficiency stones for the top 30% of KOSDAQ-listed information and communications companies using dea, presents projected values of companies for efficient operation, and confirms benchmarking company references. We evaluated CCR efficiency, BCC efficiency, ranking, Scale Efficiency(SE), and Return To Scale (RTS) of KOSDAQ-listed information and communications businesses. The analysis showed CCR efficiency of 1, 14 companies, and 1 BCC efficiency, and Nanatan companies were analyzed as ten companies. Scale yield was analyzed by the IRS as four companies, 13 CRS and 13 DRS companies.

The empirical results are summarized as follows : First, In relation to effects of ownership structure on firm value, there is the non-linear relationship between major(and foreign) shareholder's holdings and firm value. So the results(the compromise hypothesis) by prior researches(Morck et al. 1988 and so forth) is supported. However Institutional shareholder's holdings do not show the significant results. Second, In relation to effects of outside directors on firm value, equally the results of prior researches(Vafeas 2000, Choi et al. 2004), the higher the ratio of outside directors in the board, the higher firm value. Also there is the non-linear relationship between outside directors ratio and firm value. Furthermore, the higher the possibility of outside directors election in the board, the higher the relationship between ownership structure and firm value. As the economic importance of KOSDAQ is more increase, the researches of KOSDAQ should be more realized.

This study analyzes the effects of KOSDAQ-listed firms' convertible bonds, which have recently increased rapidly in number and size. Although KOSDAQ companies are called mid-size companies, KOSDAQ companies belong to SMEs. Furthermore, convertible bonds have traditionally been a critical capital raising tool for SMEs in the US and Europe. In Korea, KOSDAQ companies actively employ convertible bonds. Convertible bonds provide investment incentives for hesitant investors, allowing companies to raise capital at low interest rates. This study analyzes whether capital raising through issuance of convertible bonds by KOSDAQ companies affects their financial constraints. Financial constraints result from incomplete capital markets, which are embedded in most companies and countries.. In particular, financial constraints have a significant impact on the growth and survival of SMEs. The seminal study FHP(1988) is the most important and effective study of firm's financial constraints. We find that FHP's financial constraint measures show that convertible bond issuance would mitigate the financial constraints of KOSDAQ companies. However, the significance of the evidence is not strong.

This paper compares the underpricing of IPOs listed on KOSADQ with that of IPOs listed on KSE. When we consider the last day of upper price limit of IPOs, IPOs on KSE show higher initial excess return than IPOs on KOSDAQ. And AR2 which is the abnormal return based on the stock price of the last day recording upper limit after listing, IPOs on KOSDAQ exhibit larger abnormal return than IPOs on KSE. Our study also reports that the long-term performance of IPOs in two markets does not show any difference. That is, IPOs of both markets under performed in the long-run. The wealth relatives of IPOs are a little higher than market portfolio. We explored the reasons of the underpricing of IPOs in both markets through the multiple regression analysis. The business history is examined asstatistically significant variable to explain the underpricing.

This study proposes policy recommendations for the Korea New Exchange ("KONEX"), which is a financial platform for SMEs and startups that relied on indirect and policy financing in the past. SMEs and venture firms with limited human and physical listing resources can grow through market incubation, and venture capitalists expect an early exit or return on investment. However, the lack of liquidity and sluggish trading volume have weakened the function of the market. Despite prior policy efforts, the number of newly listed companies has decreased while listing demand for KOSDAQ and K-OTC has increased. This study aims to suggest short- and long-term improvements in regulations and throughout the KONEX firms' listing life cycle. First, the minimum deposit requirement on individual investors should be abolished to increase the number of investors. Second, information disclosure should be conducted by firms so that the nominated advisor can focus on discovering and supporting new listed companies. Third, in order to increase trading volume, the 5% dispersion rule should be changed to 25% dispersion incentive principle. Fourth, a new track without profit condition in expedited transfer listing should be introduced because the KOSDAQ relaxes the profit realization requirements for listing. Lastly, transfer listing without additional review for firms that fulfill ownership dispersion, information disclosure, and investor protection will strengthen the incubating role of the KONEX.

This paper studies the relationship between general investors' allotment ratio and underpricing for the companies that were newly listed in KOSDAQ market after the 20% rule, from March 2004 to December 2013, by empirical analysis. It is shown that the excess allotment ratio over 20% has a strong explanatory power for underpricing ratio under the 1% significance level. Furthermore, the general investors' allotment ratio is a significant explanatory variable of underpricing ratio under the 5% significance level. There are many hypotheses about underpricing, however, if underpricing is evident with high allocation ratio for general investors, it can be regarded as a signal of company's confidence in earnings after listing. In conclusion, this study reveals that general investors' allotment ratio can be used as a major explanatory variable that has a significant effect on the degree of undervaluation in the IPO market.
