최근의 사회 경제적 현상에 비추어 우리나라 젊은이들은 취업에 많은 고민을 하고 있으며 이의 극복을 위해 많은 시간과 노력을 할애하고 있다. 우리나라는 경제규모가 세계 10위권대 임에도 불구하고 취업시장은 매우 어려운 상황이어서 돌파구가 있어야 하는 상황이다. 지금의 세계경제는 4차 산업시대로 빠르게 변화하고 있다. 이러한 변화의 중심은 세계적 대기업이 아닌 IT기반의 플랫폼 사업의 개인 창업가들이며, 이 개인 창업가들이 엄청난 속도로 성장하여 지금의 글로벌기업을 이끌고 있다. 최근 창업에 관한 인식변화와 함께 관심을 갖고 실제로 창업에 도전하는 현상이 늘어나고 있으며, 이의 성공여부가 본인은 물론 우리나라의 경제를 활성화 시킬 수 있는 원동력이 된다고 생각한다. 본 연구를 통해 생애전반에 걸쳐 교육과 취업이나 창업의 많은 사회적 경험활동이 사업가적 도전성에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 검증하고자 한다. 실질적인 성과를 낼 수 있는 경험자들이 창업에 도전성에 어떤 영향을 주고 있는지 알아보고자 한다. 본 연구는 사회적 경험활동이 기업가적 도전성에 어떤 영향을 미치는 알아보는 연구로 개인적 특성, 사회적 경험, 창업실패에 대한 인식이 사업가적 도전성에 어떤 영향을 미치는지 검증하고, 사회적 지지가 사업가적 도전성에 조절효과가 있는지 검증하고자 한다. 창업이 국가의 경제성장이나 개인의 취업 및 경제활동 욕구를 충족시키는 요소라면 사업가적 도전성을 개개인의 사회적 경험에 앞서 학교 교육과정에서부터 체득될 수 있는 환경을 조성해서 창업에 도전성이 더욱 더 성장될 수 있도록 성장과정에서 교육적 사회적 책무를 가지고 환경조성을 한다면 사회적 경제적 비용을 줄일 수 있을 뿐 아니라 건정한 사회를 만들 수 있다고 생각한다.

4차산업혁명시대 산업분야가 IT 기반의 촉진자(Enabler)분야와 기존산업 중심의 수용자(Adopter) 분야로 이원화되어 추진되고 있다. 특히, 기존의 제조업 중심 중견기업들은 4차산업혁명시대 이에 대한 필요성과 중요성을 중요하지만 자신들의 주력산업 기반으로 4차산업혁명 분야 신사업을 추진하는데 한계를 보이고 있고, 특히 촉진자 분야인 Enabler 분야는 진입을 어려워하며, 결국 수용자 중심의 인더스트리 4.0 중심으로 진행할 수밖에 없어 4차산업혁명시대 큰 부가가치 창출의 신사업 마련에 어려움을 겪고 있다. 또한 IT중심의 창업초기 기업들은 4차산업혁명분야 촉진자 분야에 진입이 왕성하게 이루어지고 있다. 그러나 창업기업은 빠른성장인 스케일업 관점에서 보면 비용과 시간차원에서 상당한 난항을 겪고 있다. 이런 상황에서, 본 논문은 창업기업중심의 4차산업혁명 촉진자분야와 중견기업중심의 4차산업 수용자 분야간에 시너지적 협업을 유도하는 방안을 제시하고 있다.

The purpose of this study is to identify the characteristics of entrepreneurs and organizations related to the initial investment stage of IT-based entrepreneurs. Specifically, we examine the effects of founder-related characteristics such as background and experience of founders on the initial investment stage and explore how the organizational characteristics such as finance, human, and technology resources affect initial investment of start-up enterprise. To accomplish this study purpose, a questionnaire survey was conducted on entrepreneurs who were actually invested by government, angel, and VC. A total of 295 data were used for hypothesis testing, and the hypothesis was tested by hierarchical regression analysis. As a result of the study, it was found that founders who had experience of investment before or experienced in technology development had a significant influence on initial investment stage. In addition, it was confirmed that factors such as financial, human, and technology resources had significant positive effects on the initial investment stage. The results of this study make it possible to identify the competencies and characteristics required to attract investment to potential founders preparing for start-up in the future. It also provides information on how to formulate an effective human resource composition plan. Also, these results can be used as a basis for investment decision-making by providing investors with guidelines on investment selection criteria.

The Government of South Korea is actively promoting entrepreneurship policies to help solve an age old problem of unemployment; however, the unemployment rate of youth entrepreneurship remains at a low. Primarily due to the government fragmented policies that are unable to solve the daily difficulties young entrepreneurs undergo. Therefore, this study aims at deriving a modern solution to an age old problem that exists through the use of co-creation by first interviewing young entrepreneurs to help derive a paradigm model. The model was developed through a grounded theory approach to help strengthen the young venture entrepreneurs. The results revealed that majority of the young entrepreneurship revitalization policies had exclusive participation structure, allowing only a selected few: complex policies of various government departments, short-term funding, one-size-fits-all training and support, lack of follow-up support policies after start-up, excessive administrative requirements, and performance-oriented fragmented support. Concluding that the policies were unrealistic and ineffective for the entrepreneurs. Accordingly, the result suggests that Co-creation entrepreneurship revitalization policy, based on the experiences of entrepreneurs, will need to be established to formulate an effective policy that provides practical assistance to the entrepreneurs in the field.

The purpose of this study is to present implications for revitalizing start-ups and contribute to enhancing the success rate of start-ups by clarifying factors and processes for converting workers with knowledge, experience and networks in related fields into entrepreneur. Based on the Shapero's Entrepreneurial Event Model, this study demonstrated whether the job insecurity and entrepreneurship of the workers were precipitating events of the entrepreneurial intention and whether the perceived desirability and feasibility of the entrepreneurial behaviour mediated between them. According to the results of the study, first, it was confirmed that job insecurity, innovativeness, and risk-taking of workers are factors that increase the entrepreneurial intention. Second, the indirect effect of perceived desirability between all components of job insecurity and entrepreneurial intentions was not significant, but all components of entrepreneurship appeared to improve entrepreneurial intention through perceived desirability. Third, it has been confirmed that job insecurity, innovativeness, and risk-taking strengthen the entrepreneurial intention through the perception of feasibility for entrepreneurial behavior. Through this study, it is confirmed that in order to convert workers into entrepreneur, it is necessary to strengthen entrepreneurship education and support for internal ventures for workers to increase their positive attitude and confidence in implementation. Therefore, it is expected to help solve job problems and revive the sluggish economy by contributing to boosting start-ups.

Recently, the Korean government announced that it would focus on fostering intrapreneurship and corporate spin-off. The government encourages intrapreneurship because it ultimately seeks to develop industries and markets, grow innovative companies, and job creation. In particular, the government believes that enhancing intrapreneurship will reduce the personal fear of failures, expand open innovation by utilizing resources within existing companies related to innovation creation, and lead to new start-ups. Accordingly, this research reviewed the previous studies on corporate entrepreneurship activities and entrepreneurial self-efficacy and briefly looked at the status of global intrapreneurship activities. Based on the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor Adult Population Survey data in 2015, this study conducted a logistic regression analysis with the data of 27 OECD member countries' and Korean respondents. The finding confirms that the personal experience of intrapreneurship could be positively associated with entrepreneurial self-efficacy of the person. Therefore, it seems to be worth for the Korean government considering policies that support intrapreneurship as part of the start-up policy.

Since the Korean economic development path has been unique compared to other counties, it is necessary to build an incubation ecosystem matching with unique economic environment in Korea. In order to revive the dynamism of the economy, establishment of the incubator ecosystem should be a policy priority so that ventures with innovative ideas and challenging minds can grow into a global stage. The purpose of this study is to derive the policy implications for establishing ecosystem and infrastructure by comparing to other OECD countries such as US, Israel, Finland, and Japan that can offer meaningful policy implications to Korea. For this purpose, the most appropriate model for explaining the incubation ecosystem in Korea was designed. PCII Model (People, Capital, Incubating, Infra) has 4 elements. It provides a framework for incubation of entrepreneurship, funding for start-up, incubation course, establishment of business foundation infrastructure. The comparative analysis was conducted with 12 sub-items under 4 elements and qualitative and quantitative evaluations were performed for each category. As a result of the comparative analysis, Korea's incubation policy seems to be still in the initial stage in terms of establishment of ecosystem compared to other countries. Therefore, a systematic approach based on the ecosystem model is needed other than the short-term incubation policy.

Research-based spin-off venture, generally formed to commercialize technology originating from public research institution, could contribute to economic wealth creation and regional development. Although there are some interests in research-based spin-off venture and its success factors across stages of growth, little empirical research was done on research-based spin-off venture's success factors in Korea. The purpose of this research is to investigate research-based spin-off venture's success factors across stages of growth. The methodology used is theoretical and case study. Based on theoretical study, it is found that there are four stages of growth in research-based spin-off ventures such as generating business ideas, finalizing new venture projects, launching spin-off firm, and strengthening the creation of economic value. Then, in order to verify them, a case was analyzed focused on success factors across stages of growth. Additionally, implications and limitations of the result of this study are discussed.
