This study was carried out to contribute to the self-help and sustainability of grassroots business in Gangwon-do. To achieve this, after setting up the concept of community business, understanding the current designating status of community business and analyzing the business content and the business promotion system, I tried to analyze the continuing factors of businesses and shops, which are more than hundred years old, in Japan and seek a solution to the sustainability of community business in the province. The community business in the province, which is designated and operated, is like this; 86 preliminary social businesses, 62 town businesses, 38 social businesses. The total comes to 186. The preliminary social businesses and the social businesses are assigned more in urban area and the manufacturing sector and educational field have a lot of business contents. When it comes to the business promotion system, there are many incorporated companies and limited companies. While the town businesses are assigned more in county area, the agricultural food field and cultural world have a lot of business contents. When it comes to the main participant of business, the agricultural corporations took the first place overwhelmingly. Especially, I found out that the main participants of community business consist of 38 voluntary associations, which is 20.4 %, and we need to make up for the specialty deficiency in business management. In order to keep the continuity of community business in the province, we could achieve the results of manpower development through the case analysis research, securing good materials which can give the consumers confidence, increasing the quality of the products, maintaining high technical skills, keeping up the tradition of business and demanding forecasting. I think a successive research efforts will be required for securing good materials and increasing the quality of the products in tandem with the local community. And also we need to establish a supporting & operating system through the liaison between the business & academic world, business & administration, and business & business for securing a management specialty as an industrialist.

This study empirically analyzed how human resource management(HRM) practices affect the performance of venture firms using The results of the study are as follows: First of all, several HRM practices were found to affect organizational performance significantly. Specifically, ${(1)}$ recruitment and selection practices were negatively related to turnover, which seemed to mean that effective staffing including development of good recruitment pools and rigorous selection process lower turnover, and ${(2)}$ training and development, compensation, and labor-management relations were positively related to subjective performance of the firms, which implied that as the venture firms provide more opportunities of training and development to employees, provide compensation on the basis of performance, and develop cooperative labor-management relations, the subjective performance of the venture firms Increases. Secondly, negative interaction effects were found to exist between competitive strategies and HRM practices on organizational performance. Specifically, ${(1)}$ the interaction between differentiation strategy and compensation were significantly related to turnover, ${(2)}$ HRM planning and training and development interacted with differentiation strategy to significantly affect subjective organizational performance, and ${(3)}$ HRM planning, selection, training and development, compensation and communication practices interacted with technology innovation strategy to affect subjective organizational performance. So far, there have not been many studies which deal with HRM practices of venture firms in Korea. Thus, it is hoped that this study stimulate more research efforts on theory development and empirical studies on HRM practices of venture firms. Also, it is hoped that government conduct more policy studies and provide more resources in HRM area of the venture firms. Specifically, it is suggested that government take proactive steps to improve industrial skilled staff and technical researcher systems in order to alleviate the problems of workforce shortages in venture firms. And it IS also suggested that regional human resource development programs be introduced with the participation of the firms, local governments, and universities.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the spatial distribution and location factors of startups by generation (young and middle-aged) in Seoul. To this end, a research model was established that included factors of industry, population, and startup institutions by generation in 424 administrative districts using the Seoul Business Enterprise Survey(2018), which includes data on the age group of entrepreneurs. As an analysis method, descriptive statistics were conducted to confirm the frequency, average and standard deviation of startups by generation and major variables in the administrative districts of Seoul, and spatial distribution and characteristics of startups by generation were analyzed through global and local spatial autocorrelation analysis. In particular, the spatial distribution of startups in Seoul was confirmed in-depth by categorizing and analyzing startups by major industries. Afterwards, an appropriate spatial regression analysis model was selected through the Lagrange test, and based on this, the location factors affecting startups by generation were analyzed. The main results derived from the research results are as follows. First, there was a significant difference in the spatial distribution of young and middle-aged startups. The young people started to startups in the belt-shaped area that connects Seocho·Gangnam-Yongsan-Mapo-Gangseo, while middle-aged people were relatively active in the southeastern region represented by Seocho, Gangnam, Songpa, and Gangdong. Second, startups by generation in Seoul showed various spatial distributions according to the type of business. In the knowledge high-tech industries(ICT, professional services) in common, Seocho, Gangnam, Mapo, Guro, and Geumcheon were the centers, and the manufacturing industry was focused on existing clusters. On the other hand, in the case of the life service industry, young people were active in startups near universities and cultural centers, while middle-aged people were concentrated on new towns. Third, there was a difference in factors that influenced the startup location of each generation in Seoul. For young people, high-tech industries, universities, cultural capital, and densely populated areas were significant factors for startup, and for middle-aged people, professional service areas, low average age, and the level of concentration of start-up support institutions had a significant influence on startup. Also, these location factors had different influences for each industry. The implications suggested through the study are as follows. First, it is necessary to support systematic startups considering the characteristics of each region, industry, and generation in Seoul. As there are significant differences in startup regions and industries by generation, it is necessary to strengthen a customized startup support system that takes into account these regional and industrial characteristics. Second, in terms of research methods, a follow-up study is needed that comprehensively considers culture and finance at the large districts(Gu) level through data accumulation.

Recently, the number of agricultural management entities in Korea has been increasing due to the increase in new entrants such as returning to farming and the registration of independent management entities by young and female farmers. However, in terms of income, income is decreasing compared to urban workers. To overcome this, the government and local governments have established various policies and are providing continuous support, but they are not producing significant results and instead, the demands of agricultural and livestock management organizations are only increasing. In this study, the management competency of agricultural management bodies was selected as an independent variable, and creative competency, networking competency, self-control competency, and technical competency were selected as sub-variables. Market orientation was selected as a dependent variable and corporate performance was selected as a mediating variable. The research results confirmed that creative ability, networking ability, and technical ability had a direct effect on corporate performance, and that networking ability and technical ability had an effect on market orientation. In addition, it was confirmed that market orientation had an effect on corporate performance, and that market orientation had a mediating effect between networking ability and corporate performance, and between technical ability and corporate performance. The academic implications of this study are, first, that managers of agricultural management organizations have generally shown a somewhat negligent attitude toward the external environment and have been slow to respond to changes in the times. However, among the various competencies of managers, the fact that networking competency and technical competency affect market orientation is significant in that it expands the scope of research, and the self-control competency of the independent variable was found to have no effect on corporate performance. It is significant that the research was conducted under the hypothesis that self-control competency would have an effect on managers, but conflicting results were derived. In addition, managers of agricultural management organizations must recognize the need to carefully consider and implement creative and self-control capabilities. As a practical implication, it is judged that if managers immediately apply self-analysis, it will be helpful for the sustainable management of agricultural management entities, and it can be said that sales and profitability are the basis for achieving financial corporate performance, and it is judged that market-oriented management needs to be continuously managed.

Digital transformation, actively progressing in various fields, is also being applied to the education sector, bringing positive changes in many schools and education settings. However, despite continued discussions and efforts, the pace of digital transformation in Korean education has been very slow. In contrast, countries showing smooth digital transformation processes are successfully digitalizing their educational environments through continuous research, technology development, and implementation efforts. This paper aims to study international cases of successful digital transformation in the education sector and explore best applicable solutions for digital transformation in the domestic education field. The study classifies case studies into government-led and private-led initiatives based on the main drivers of digital transformation in education, considering solutions that take into account Korea's educational structure and environment. The key insights derived from the cases are as follows. First, the government-led digital transformation in domestic education lacks sustainability and consistency in its policies, overly focusing on infrastructure development. There is a need to concentrate more on the development of diverse digital transformation technologies and high-quality content. Second, countries that have successfully implemented government-led digital transformation operate excellent online integrated learning platforms that provide new technologies and digital content. It is necessary for the government to consider the development and operation of such platforms. Third, there is a need to open up the public education that is mainly led and controlled by government to the private sector further through the support of education-related venture companies and startups, while also enhancing the autonomy of individual local schools. This would facilitate technological advancement and a swift digital transformation in education through the activation of the edutech market. This research, based on the analysis of international cases, contributes to establishing the direction of digital transformation policies in Korean education and provides effective solutions for more successful implementation.
