본 연구는 한국수출입은행이 금융지원한 2011년~2013년의 2,753개 중소기업에 대한 기술현황 및 기술금융에 대해 분석하였다. 연평균 약 400개의 중소기업이 지재권을 보유하며 약 200개의 중소기업이 특허를 보유하는 것으로 나타난다. 제조업 중 전자부품, 컴퓨터, 영상, 음향 및 통신장비 제조업(KSIC 26), 기타 기계 및 장비 제조업(KSIC 29), 자동차 및 트레일러 제조업(KSIC 30)에 가장 높은 지재권 집중도를 보인다. 또한, 지재권 보유 기업의 경우 총자산, 매출액, 연구개발비가 비(非)보유 기업을 크게 초과하며, 유동성에서 약간의 우위를 보이고, 부채비율도 다소 낮게 나타난다. 수익률 지표에 있어서는 지재권 보유기업이 비(非)보유 기업에 비해 다소 열악하거나 비슷한 수준으로 나타난다. 신용도가 높은 기업일수록 지재권 보유수가 증가하나 그 상관관계는 0.1정도로 약하다. 신용도가 매우 취약한 기업의 지식재산권과 특허 보유율이 각각 20~30%임을 감안할 때, 이들의 기술금융지원으로 인한 리스크는 상당할 것으로 예상된다.

This case study investigates the KIKO currency option that has been a social issue in recent years among developing countries, especially Korea, where the financial derivatives market is in a state of rapid growth. The forward transaction which becomes a basis of derivatives is intended to hedge risks that may be caused by a future change in asset prices. Although it originates from a simple form of agricultural transactions, there currently exists a variety of derivatives in more sophisticated forms. In the Korean agricultural industry, the need to use such derivatives is great, as there is a huge risk of price fluctuation in agricultural products due to frequent adverse weather. In addition, many developing countries with export-led industrial structures similar to Korea's, of necessity must resort to currency hedging as a method of reducing relevant risk. However, in most cases, the lack of understanding about financial derivatives results in an inappropriate application of these derivatives. The KIKO in this study represents such cases. Since 2007, KIKO has been sold in Korea to many small- and medium-sized export companies for the purpose of currency hedging when the exchange rate between the Korean won and the U.S. dollar was in a downward spiral. The main focus of this study is a case which is most representative of KIKO. As inflation rapidly increased during the financial crisis in the U.S. at the end of 2007, derivatives became a hot issue in the courts rather than in the financial markets. This case study investigates what KIKO and the fierce legal debates over it imply, from the perspective of the option of value evaluation in order to suggest not only a direction in which companies can utilize financial derivatives, but also a roadmap for the future derivatives market.

Trade finance promotes export performance, and every small- and medium-sized export business has the right to use policy finance. The credit line is also stipulated by relevant laws and regulations. However, trade finance has repeatedly been misused, so these matters can lead to substantial financial loss and damage to the related financial institutions. The lack of expertise of K-SURE and the backwardness of banks represent even bigger problems in the follow-up management. The existing trade finance system should be improved in the following ways from the institutional and legal perspectives. Firstly, follow-up management of beneficiary companies should be reinforced and systematized through examining business tendencies, financial status, and other important factors. There is also a need for advancement of following up management. An effective and streamlined financing system must be established by abolishing the Korea Trade Insurance Corporation. This study presents improvements and their implications by looking into the main issues under the current trade finance system. This study is based on documentary research and practical cases.

본 연구는 우리나라 수출보험이 대기업 및 중소기업의 수출촉진에 효과적으로 작용하고 있는지를 분석하는 데에 초점을 두었다. 이를 위하여 대기업과 중소기업의 수출공급함수 모형을 각각 설정하여 수출보험이 수출공급에 미치는 영향에 대하여 실증분석 하였다. 실증분석 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1992년부터 2009년까지 연도별 자료를 이용하여 대기업과 중소기업의 수출보험인수액이 수출공급에 미치는 영향에 대하여 통상최소자승법으로 분석한 결과, 대기업과 중소기업의 수출보험인수액은 우리나라의 수출촉진에 긍정적 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 하지만 실증분석을 하기 위해서는 분석에 사용되어지는 자료들의 안정성 여부가 중요하다. 특히 불안정한 시계열을 적용할 경우 통계분석의 결과가 무의미해질 수 있기 때문이다. 따라서 자료들의 안정성 여부를 파악하기 위해 ADF 방식을 이용하여 검정을 시행한 결과 모든 변수들이 I(1)인 시계열임을 알 수 있었다. 이에 따라 I(1)인 변수들의 장기적 균형관계를 살펴보기 위해 Johansen 검정에 의해 공적분 검정을 실시하였다. 공적분 검정결과, 대기업의 수출공급과 수출보험인 수액 간에서는 5% 유의수준에서 공적분벡터가 존재하는 것으로 나타났다. 반면 중소기업의 수출공급과 수출보험 간에는 공적분벡터가 존재하지 않는 것으로 분석결과 나타났다. 따라서 대기업의 경우 수출보험이 수출공급에 영향을 주는 것으로 해석할 수 있지만, 중소기업의 수출공급에는 수출보험이 영향을 미치지 않고 있다 할 수 있다. 이를 통해서 대기업의 수출은 중소기업의 수출보다 수출보험의 영향력이 더 큼을 알 수 있다.

Purpose - Export marketers may have incentives to attempt real earnings management to avoid low reported earnings. Therefore, we attempted to verify the relationship between cost stickiness and real earnings management in the context of export marketing. Design/methodology/approach - Data were collected from exporters that settle-accounts in December excluding financial businesses listed on the stock market from 2015 to 2019. Multiple regression analysis were employed to analyze the data. Findings - The results showed that there is a negative relationship between cost stickiness and real earnings management. In addition, the results showed that export marketers little attempt to offset the cost inefficiency caused by the increase in expense because of cost stickiness with opportunistic management activities through real earnings management. Rather, as the level of real earnings management appears lower, exporters showing cost stickiness are expected to report management performance based on actual marketing. Furthermore, exporters with a high level of managerial centrality or high managerial overconfidence little attempt to offset cost inefficiency caused by cost stickiness with real earnings management activities. Research implications or Originality - Our study is the first to investigate the quality of earnings information of exporters with cost stickiness. Based on the results, we suggested efficient marketing strategies for exporters.

Purpose - Exports have long been regarded as significant drivers of sustainable competitive advantage and growth among small and medium enterprises (SMEs). The export activities of SMEs are particularly important in the context of export-oriented economies such as Korea. Although many studies have examined the determinants of exports, it is difficult to find empirical studies about the determinants of the export performance of regional SMEs. This study investigates the determinants of export performance in the regional SME context based on an integrated approach that combines the environment factor of industrial organization theory, competitive strategy theory, and the competences of the resource-based view. Research design, data, and methodology - To empirically analyze the determinants of export performance in the regional SMEs, data were collected from firms in the Daegu metropolitan area. Data were collected directly through questionnaire surveys; in addition, secondary financial data were also taken from the KIS-VALUE database. Out of the 175 responses that were received, 143 were considered to be worth examining. After testing the reliability and validity of the variables through multiple items such as environmental turbulence and competitive strategy, hypotheses were verified by using five multi-regression models. These models were: a control model with organizational size and age, an environmental model with technology and market turbulence, a competency model with R&D and foreign distribution channels, a strategy model with product and market differentiation, and an integrated model including all of these variables. Results - First, as a control variable, the organization size has significant positive effects on export performance. Second, technology turbulence based on industrial organization theory has significant positive effects on export performance, but market turbulence does not affect export performance. Third, the foreign market distribution competency of the resource-based view has strong positive effects on export performance, but the R&D competency does not affect export performance. Fourth, the product differentiation strategy from competitive strategy theory positively impacts export performance, but market differentiation does not affect export performance. Finally, in the integrated model, only the foreign distribution competency of the resource-based view has a significant effect on export performance. Conclusions - The empirical results of this study verified the usefulness of the rationales behind the three theories to explain the export performance of the regional SMEs, especially the importance of the foreign market distribution competency from the resource-based view. With regard to practical considerations, this study's implications suggest that the use of technological environmental changes by industries is better than the use of market changes. Further, the use of the product differentiation strategy is more effective than the use of the market-driving strategy, and the distribution channel competency plays a stronger role than the technology-oriented competency with regard to the export performance position of regional SMEs. Future studies should examine relational perspectives, such as trust among channel partners. Therefore, the configuration approach is more useful in enhancing pragmatism by comparing high- and low-export companies.

본 연구는 산업재와 소비재의 제품유형에 따라 수출 중소기업의 국제기업가 성향이 기업역량 및 수출성과에 미치는 영향을 실증적으로 분석하였다. 수출 중소기업의 국제기업가 성향은 위험추구성향, 진취성, 혁신성으로 구성되어 있으며, 기업역량은 기술역량과 제품차별화 역량으로 구성되어 있다. 산업재의 경우 위험추구성향, 혁신성, 진취성이 기술역량에 유의한 영향을 미쳤으며, 소비재의 경우 위험추구성향과 혁신성만이 유의한 영향을 미쳤다. 소비재에서는 혁신성, 진취성, 위험추구성향의 순으로 제품차별화 역량에 유의한 영향을 미쳤으나, 산업재에서는 혁신성만이 부적영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 기업역량이 수출성과에 미치는 영향을 살펴보면 산업재에서는 기술역량만이 재무적 성과와 전략적 성과에 유의한 영향을 미쳤으나, 소비재에서는 기술역량, 제품차별화 역량 모두 유의한 영향을 미쳤다. 국제기업가 성향이 직접적으로 재무적 성과에 미치는 영향을 살펴본 결과 산업재에서는 진취성과 위험추구성향의 순으로 유의한 영향을 미쳤으며, 소비재에서는 혁신성, 진취성의 순으로 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 국제기업가 성향이 전략적 성과에 미치는 영향을 살펴보면 산업재에서는 위험추구성향만이 유의한 영향을 미쳤으나 소비재에서는 혁신성, 진취성, 위험추구성향의 순으로 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 국제기업가 성향이 직접 수출성과에 미치는 영향이 재무적 성과와 전략적 성과에서도 차이를 보여주었으며, 제품 유형에서도 차이가 있는 것으로 드러났다. 제품유형에 따라 국제기업가 성향이 기업역량에 미치는 영향, 기업역량이 수출성과에 미치는 영향, 국제기업가 성향이 수출성과에 미치는 영향이 다른 것으로 나타났으므로 국제화 성과를 높이기 위해서는 제품유형에 따라 다른 접근이 필요함을 시사한다.

When a trade conflict arises related to an officially supported export credit programme, The World Trade Organization(WTO), decides on whether the programme is a forbidden subsidy stipulated in the Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures(the ASCM Agreement). Korea was taken to the WTO panel two times for the export credit programme. One is the semiconductor case in 2002 and the other was the shipbuilding disputes in 2004. And, In 2012, the U.S. Commerce Department ruled K-SURE's export insurance for Korean refrigerator manufacturers as a forbidden subsidy even if the case was not taken to the WTO. This paper examines the significance of export credit programmes on the WTO ASCM Agreement and discusses how to operate these programmes so they would not infringe upon the Agreement by analyzing the actual cases of WTO subsidy conflicts that involved Korean enterprises in relation to export credit programmes for the purpose of determining the related issues and impacts. From this research the results were as follows: First, on whether export credit is a prohibited subsidy, the deciding factor was whether a benefit has been conferred to the beneficiary. On the presence of a benefit, the WTO panel used market benchmarks as the main criteria. Thus, official export credit agencies(ECAs) should be careful not to provide export credit support which had been granted to the beneficiary at better than market terms. Second, in the case of export credit, the special status of ECA as a public body receiving government support itself does not constitute a subsidy. However, caution must be taken not to provide export credit that may lead to WTO ASCM subsidy conflicts involving a certain exporter or industry by setting up clear and valid regulations and fair work processes in the operation of export credit programmes. Third, item (j) of Annex I cannot be interpreted reversely as this item is for interpreting the presence of a prohibited subsidy, not the presence of a benefit. Thus, an export credit program that confers a financial contribution, a benefit and specificity, could qualify as a prohibited subsidy. Fourth, ECAs not only have to maintain long-term account balance but also introduce additional measures to meet this long-term balance such as a clear and systematic premium system. Finally, export credit programmes that are not defined in item (j) of Annex I of the ASCM Agreement would not deemed as an prohibited export subsidy as long as the continued support of the programmes are not being forced.

The paper aims to examine the impact of exports on the growth of Vietnamese manufacturing small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) by exploring the information of 36,053 enterprises across 24 manufacturing sectors from the Vietnam Annual Enterprise Survey (VAES) in the period 2014-2019. To deal with the problem of variable variance, autocorrelation, and endogeneity of the model, the paper uses the OLS regression method with a strong standard error method and system GMM. Export participation by SMEs is positively associated with business growth in terms of sales and total assets, according to the findings. The GMM estimate shows that the rate of sales growth among exporters is 36.5 percent greater than that of non-exporting enterprises in the case of the sales growth measure. Exporters' average total asset growth rate is 19% greater than the rate estimated for non-exporting businesses. The study's findings indicate the need of adopting policies that promote SMEs in transition economies like Vietnam to engage in exporting activities. Furthermore, the findings show that financial assistance and suitable ownership would enable SMEs to take advantage of export opportunities to increase sales and total assets.

한국의 수출지원정책은 1997년 IMF 외환위기를 계기로 중소기업 중심으로 전환한 이후 중소기업수출액이 2011년 최초로 1,000억 달러를 초과하는 양적 성장을 거두었으나 이후 정체 수준을 보여 왔다. 이와 같은 정체의 배경에는 수출지원정책이 수출경쟁력 제고에 크게 기여하지 못한 측면도 존재하는 것으로 판단된다. 따라서 중소수출기업의 수출기반확충과 수출경쟁력 제고를 위하여 2010년 이후의 주요 선행연구를 중심으로 지원정책의 문제점을 분석하고 문제점 개선을 위한 효율화 방안을 도출하였다. 연구 결과 수출지원정책의 효율화를 위해 첫째, 수출지원기관 간 기능조정과 통합, 수출단계별 지원주체의 조정, 중소기업청과 지방자치단체의 역할조정 등에 대한 검토가 필요하다. 둘째, 기업 맞춤형 지원시스템의 구축이 필요하다. 셋째, 지원기관의 인력확보 및 전문성 제고를 위해서는 무역회사 퇴직 인력 또는 청년인턴제도의 검토가 필요하다. 넷째, 일정규모 이상의 지원사업에 대하여는 외부평가의 비중을 높이고 정량평가와 정성평가 모두가 가능한 균형 잡힌 지표의 개발이 필요한 것으로 나타났다.
