Purpose - The current research examines the effect of life cycle stages on capital structure of listed companies in Tehran Stock Exchange. Research design, data, methodology - By aid of 685 year-company data, which collected from financial statements of companies during 2006-2012, first, the companies, are classified into three groups including companies in growth, maturity and decline stages. After removing the companies, which were not in accordance with life cycle model, 86 companies were selected to test two main hypotheses of the research. Results - The results show that the capital structure of the sample companies is different in various life cycle stages. More investigation by LSD test also revealed that the total debt to total assets ratio means of the companies in growth stages were significantly different from those companies in maturity stages and those in growth stages had high level of debt to assets ratio. Conclusions - The result showed the average amount of the working capital for companies in three stages are significantly different and due to high level of operation of the companies in maturity and decline stages, these companies held high amount of working capital than those in the growth stages.

The relationship between capital structure policy and firm value is interesting to study because the concept of capital structure was initiated by Modigliani and Miller who claimed that the company's capital structure is not a factor in its value. They asserted that linking leverage with firm value was irrelevant. Therefore, this study examined the role of growth opportunities as a moderating variable for the relationship between capital structure and firm value. The population of this study is 300 companies from the manufacturing sector that are listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) for the period 2015-2018. To analyze the data, the subgroup moderation method was employed by dividing the data into two parts: companies with high growth opportunities and companies with low growth opportunities. The results revealed that capital structure had a direct positive effect on firm value. Furthermore, the test results of the two regression models of growth opportunities as the moderating variable are very interesting. It was found that for companies with high growth opportunities, the use of debt had a negative effect on firm value, and conversely, the use of debt had a positive effect on firm value for companies with low growth opportunities. The statistical F-test results proved that growth opportunities are a moderating variable for the relationship between capital structure and firm value.

'스케일업(scale-up)'은 '스타트업(startup)'에 이어 기업 현장이나 정책 현장에서 모두에서 중요한 주제로 다루어지고 있다. 특히 산업계와 정책 분야에서는 범용적으로 사용되는 용어임에도 불구하고, 학술적인 측면에서는 이에 대한 '개념 정의' 조차도 이루어지지 못했다. 학술적인 측면에서의 '기업 성장(firm growth)'과 경영 현장에서의 '비즈니스 성장(business growth)'은 서로 다른 이해를 갖고 있는 실정이다(Achtenhagen et al., 2010). 기업의 성장과 관련한 그간의 관련 연구는 Penrose(1959)의 '자원의 결합체(bundle)로서의 기업'과 '관리자의 역할론' 관점에서 크게 벗어나지 못하고 있다. 경제학 이론 및 배경을 기초로 주로 성장 요인 및 패턴을 살피는 차원에서의 연구가 주류를 이루고 있다. 기업의 경영현장에서 관심을 갖는 '스케일업' 맥락의 연구, 즉 상대적으로 성장의 속도와 지속성-일정기간의 '매출액 연평균 성장률'-관점의 연구는 활발히 이루어지지 못하였다. 기업의 초기 단계에는 매출액 규모가 작기 때문에 연간 단위 매출액 성장률은 상대적으로 높은 특성을 지닌다. 그러나, 한국 기준 '중견기업'으로 분류되기 시작하는 연간 매출액 1천억원 이상 수준이 되면 기업의 성장률은 이전과 같이 높은 수준을 보이기 쉽지 않다. 본 연구의 표본이 되는 최근 3년간의 연평균 매출액 성장률이 15% 이상 되는 '고성장 기업' 5천개 중 매출액 1억 달러 이상 기업은 6.7%인 333개에 한정된다. 그만큼 일정한 기업 규모 이상의 수준에서 지속적인 '고성장'을 보인다는 것은 쉽지 않다. 본 연구는, 기업/산업 미디어인 'Inc.'의 '2020 고성장(fastest-growing) 기업 5,000' 리스트 중 연간 매출액 1억 달러(원화 약 1천2백 억원) 이상 기업 333개를 대상으로, 1) 고성장 기업군(최근 3년-2016~19년- CAGR 15%~39.9%), 2) 초고성장 기업군(40.0%~99.9%), 3) 슈퍼 고성장 기업군(100% 이상)으로 구분 짓고, 각 성장속도 군 별 특성을 심층적으로 분석해 보았다. 또한, 기업의 매출액 성장률과 개별 기업의 전략 선택(시장 지향성, 본원적 전략, 성장 전략, 선도 전략), 산업 및 시장 환경, 기업의 업력 간의 상호관계를 양적 탐색을 통해 규명하였다. 따라서 본 연구결과를 토대로 개별 기업의 측면에서는 성장전략의 경로와 요인을 조합하여 구성하는 '초고성장 모델(Hyper-Growing Model)'을 참고할 수 있도록 하고, 정책적인 측면에서는 기업의 성장을 촉진하기 위해 어떤 요소나 환경을 '최적 유효 조합'의 형태로 다루어야 하는지 그 참고를 제공하고자 한다. 그리고 학술적인 측면에서는 21세기 기업환경에서 '스케일업 이론' 및 '기업 성장 이론'을 후속적으로 연구 하는데 그 기초 참고를 제공하고자 한다.

To know the long-term growth patterns and determinants of successful startups, 15-year (2006-2020) panel data of 252 companies that had a growth rate of over 20% every year in the last three years were used. In the first analysis, statistics on the period required to designate a gazelle company or listed on the stock market were examined. In addition, five long-term growth patterns were presented. In the panel analysis, the R&D intensity, operating profit ratio, size, and age of the company were pointed out as determinants of growth. The operating profit margin and R&D intensity have a positive effect on growth. Gibrat's law was not supported, but an inverted U-shape was observed. Jovanovic's law was confirmed. Although many studies tend not to point to profitability as a determinant of long-term growth, this is an important long-term growth factor of a company. The operating profit ratio was used in this study.

This paper focused on the level of managerial centralization on chief executive officer (CEO) as a factor to affect the shared growth activities of corporate. As service corporations are becoming active in shared growth activities recently, this paper thus used CEO. Pay Slice (CPS) information to measure the level of managerial centralization on CEO of service corporation and tested the influence of the level of managerial centralization on whether shared growth activities are executed and the level of such activities respectively. The result of test shows that companies with high managerial centralization on CEO are more passive toward shared growth activities than those without such centralization. This can be interpreted that a CEO with more powerful influence may consider shared growth activities as to be negative and take a passive attitude to them. On the other hand, such result was supported by additional analysis with companies committing shared growth activities as well. This paper is expected to contribute to bring about interest on shared growth activities as the gap between major companies and small and medium sized companies is currently expanding in terms of operating profit ratio and even salary of employees.

For the implementation of innovative products or services companies use different innovation strategies, in particular, outsourcing is quite widespread, given the high level of specialization and professionalism of companies that provide such services. The aim of this article was to evaluate the link between outsourcing of innovative activities and indicators of companies' efficiency. The methodology of the research includes the methods of correlation analysis and regression analysis to reveal the correlation between the use of outsourcing of innovative products and services and the turnover of the EU enterprises. The results show a high level of innovative activity of EU enterprises (50.3% innovatively active). Innovative business processes are the most widespread form of innovation activity (41% of enterprises implement business processes, and the indicator is higher than 41% in the most developed EU countries). The turnover of enterprises with new or substantially improved products was found to grow by 10.92% for the period 2016-2018. The correlation analysis shows weak direct links between the indicator of turnover growth and the number of enterprises that have independently implemented innovations, or have implemented innovations jointly with third-party companies, or using outsourcing services. The highest level of direct connection was found between the growth of turnover of enterprises that launched a new product for the market and the growth of the number of enterprises that implemented innovations with the involvement of organizations (correlation 0.273). Based on the regression analysis it was found that with a 1% change in the growth rate of the number of innovation-active enterprises, the growth rate of turnover from new or improved products increased by 5.67%. At the same time, with a 1% change in the growth rate of the number of enterprises that implement innovation through outsourcing, the growth rate of turnover from new or improved products will increase by 7.15%.

Purpose: This study aims to figure out the characteristics of corporate life cycle and resource input in terms of the sustainability diagnosis of pharmaceutical companies in Korea. Research design, data, and methodology: Using the Gompertz model under the assumption that companies have finite resources, this study tries quantitative interpretation of life cycle and resource input pattern for longevity companies with 25 years of experience among 158 pharmaceutical companies listed on Korean stock market based on maturity of revenue. Results: The study found revenue maturity through Gompertz model was statistically correlated with enterprise value. According to the life cycle analysis, more than 95% of 59 pharmaceutical companies were in the growth and maturity phase and have an average life cycle of 88 years and an average remaining life of 52 years. Regarding maturity profile of resource input, maturity of employees was generally high more than 60% and this meant there was jobless growth in Korean pharmaceutical industry. Conclusion: This study demonstrated there is a high statistical correlation between the maturity of a company's resource input and its revenue and enterprise value. It is believed that these results could be utilized as a basis for high fidelity function that predict revenue and enterprise value based on resource input information.

This study develops a Korean R&D Scoreboard which has originated from the R&D Scoreboard in United Kingdom. The Scoreboard contains details of the R&D investment, sales, growth, profits and employee numbers for Korean companies which are extracted from company annual reports and key ratios calculated, with some movements over time. Companies are classified by the Korea Standard Industrial Classification. The Scoreboard contains 190 companies which consist of 100 largest companies and 30 middle-or small-sized firms listed in Korea Stock Exchange (KSE), and 30 ventures and 30 other firms listed in KOSDAQ. The overall company R&D intensity (R&D as a percentage of sales) is 2.1% compared to the international average of 4.2%. Korea has an unusually large R&D percentage of sales in IT hardware (4.9%) and telecommunication (3.7%). R&D intensity is positively correlated with company performance measures such as profitability, sales growth, productivity and market value. For largest companies listed in KSE and ventures listed in KOSDAQ, the ratio of operating profit to sales is greater for high R&D intensity companies. Sales growth is in proportion to R&D intensity for all companies. Plots of value added per employee or sales per employee vs R&D per employee rise together for the sectors studied, especially for the chemical sectors and automobile sectors, demonstrating a correlation with productivity. The average market value of high R&D companies in the KSE has risen more than 1.6 times that of the KOSPI 200 index. Given the correlation between R&D intensity and company performance and given that R&D is a smaller percentage of surplus (profits plus R&D) than international level (both overall and in several sectors), the challenges facing Korean companies are to maintain the leading position in IT hardware and telecommunication, and to increase the intensity of R&D in many medium-intensive R&D sectors where Korea has an average intensity well below international or US levels.
