최근 신기술기반기업 (New Technology Based Firm; 이하 NTBF)이 국가 경쟁력에 미치는 영향 및 중요성에 대한 관심이 증가됨에 따라, 국가적인 차원에서 이들의 지원을 위한 조치들과 이들의 창업을 촉진시키고 육성하기 위한 연구들이 진행되고 있다. 본 연구는 NTBF 들이 성공적인 창업을 달성하는데 영향을 미치는 주요 요소들을 분석함으로써 우월한 기술과 아이디어들을 활용하여 시장에 진입하려는 NTBF 들의 성공적인 창업의 기회를 넓히는데 도움을 주고자 한다. 먼저, 기존의 문헌 분석을 통하여 성공적인 창업의 핵심요소로 알려져 있는 항목들을 분석하였으며 다음으로, 문헌 분석을 통하여 얻어진 창업과정의 영향 요소들을 이용하여 NTBF들을 대상으로 하는 설문을 작성하였으며, 이들에 대한 실증 분석자료로 활용하여 각각의 항목들이 어떠한 중요도를 갖는지 분석해 보았다. 분석 절차로는 각 기업의 성과에 대한 측정 지표를 만들고 이와 상관관계가 있는 NTBF 창업활동 요소들을 분석함으로써 성공적인 창업의 핵심요소를 도출하고자 하였다. 본 연구의 결과에 있어서 실증분석 대상으로 한 NTBF의 수가 적어 통계적 의미가 약함을 인정하지 않을 수 없다. 따라서 향후 핵심 성공 요소들의 도출에 있어서 보다 많은 설문 집단을 대상으로 분석을 수행하는 것과, 설문의 방법이 아닌 다른 분석 방법들도 시도될 필요가 있는 것으로 생각된다,

This research has been focused upon and analyzing Medison, once a leading New Technology-Based Firm (NTBF) in Korea with exceptionally advanced technology in 3D ultrasound diagnostic imaging devices (UDIDs) (armored with 23 subsidiaries at its peak expansion), from the perspective if Dynamic Firm Capability(DFC). The underlying hypothesis is that the various problems from its pointless pursuit of the business styles or precedents of the existing large firms might be traced to its specific characteristics as an NTBF, which should have more preferably been based upon the distinctive competences such as differentiated technologies, institutional linkages, organizational routines, and complementary assets, etc. In conclusion, for the NTBFs with different DFC domains from those of the large firms, the optimal external linkages and comprehensive integration efforts (Process) under their specific organizational characteristics and constraints (Path) are highly recommended for the continuous accumulation of their core capabilities based upon the technological assets (Position).

벤처 비즈니스(venture business)는 '위험(기업)사업'이란 뜻으로 어느 정도 용어의 뜻이 통하는 외래어이지만 비록 익숙한 말이라도 벤처기업(venture enterprise)이란 말은 직역하면'위험(기업)기업'이란 다소 어색한 뜻이 된다. 미국의 경우 Venture Business라는 용어를 사용하지 않고, 신생벤처(New Venture) 또는 기술집약적 신생기업(NTBF: New Technology-based Firm)이라는 용어를 사용하고 있으며, "고위험, 고수익" 사업에 벤처 프로젝트(Venture Project)라는 용어를 쓰고있다.(중략)

These commensal intestinal bacteria can enhance the immune system and aid in nutrient absorption but can also act as opportunistic pathogens. Among these intestinal bacteria, the anaerobic Bacteroides fragilis are divided into enterotoxigenic B. fragilis (ETBF) which secrete the B. fragilis toxin (BFT) and non-enterotoxigenic B. fragilis (NTBF) which do not secrete BFT. ETBF can cause diarrhea and colitis in both humans and livestock but can also be found in asymptomatic individuals. ETBF is predominantly found in patients with inflammatory diarrheal diseases and traveller's diarrhea. Several clinical studies have also reported an increased prevalence of ETBF in human patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), colitis and colorectal cancer. In small animal models (C57BL/6 wild-type mice, germ-free mice, multiple intestinal neoplasia (Min) mice, rabbits and Mongolian gerbils), ETBF have been found to initiate and/or aggravate IBD, colitis and colorectal cancer. BFT induces E-cadherin cleavage in intestinal epithelial cells resulting in loss of epithelial cell integrity. Subsequent activation of the ${\beta}$-catenin pathway leads to increased cellular proliferation. In addition, ETBF causes acute and chronic colitis in wild-type mice as well as enhances tumorigenesis in Min mice via activation of the Stat3/Th17 pathway. Currently, ETBF can be detected using a BFT toxin bioassay and by PCR. Advances in molecular biological techniques such as real-time PCR have allowed both researchers as well as clinicians to rapidly detect ETBF in clinical samples. The emergence of more sensitive techniques will likely advance molecular insight into the role of ETBF in colitis and cancer.

Enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis (ETBF) causes inflammatory diarrhea in humans and animals and is also implicated in colorectal cancer. ETBF-infected mice exhibit a prominent large intestinal inflammation characterized by neutrophil infiltration and induction of the Th17 response. In this study, we examined differences in the secreted cytokine profile of the cecum and proximal colon of ETBF-infected mice using an antibody array. Of the cytokines examined, we found that the cecal tissues from ETBF-infected mice secreted elevated levels of G-CSF, IL-6, IL-17 and LIX compared to non-toxigenic Bacteroides fragilis (NTBF) and Mock infected mice. The proximal colon tissues from ETBF-infected mice secreted higher levels of G-CSF, IL-6, KC, LIX, MIP-1g and MCP-1. This study demonstrates that the cecum and colon should be considered separately when assays are used to determine immune responsiveness to enteric infections.

This paper is aimed at investigating the factors to grow the new technology based firm(NTBF), K-MAC. NTBFs need an environment in which novelty is encouraged, employees find work meaningful and controllable, learning is incorporated into work, ideas and process improvements are implemented and a balanced focus of the internal and external to the company is fostered. With collaboration between industry and academia, Lynda Aiman-Smith made an instrument of VIQ(Value Innovation Quotient), which is consist of 9 factors, 33 items. VIQ Results can help the company to develop a better understanding of the organization's culture, and its formal subgroups. That is to identify subcultures in the organization, to diagnose potential problems or inhibitors of innovation, to identify organizational strengths for innovation and set a quantitative baseline. Using the VIQ,K-MAC analysed the subculture of innovation potential capability. K-MAC organized the COP(community of practice) with the young employees' participation and try to solve the real problem in the working place. This paper explained the diverse growing trajectory through the TPM concept and suggest for the future strategy.

Start up a company is critical to the regional economy and job creation and so get support from government and other organizations, but there are still exist of high rate of failure and CEO's stressful fear of failure. New firms are of utmost importance for the vitality of national economic driving forces but for those failed firms, they caused social and economic problems directly and indirectly, and brought frustration to the founders. The many education and research programs about entrepreneurship and venture creation were undertaken by the country and organizations, but the education and research about the vigilance of failed to start up company were almost ignored. If the attention can be put into the research about failed companies and the research can make the founders and pre-CEOs aware the failure of establishing a company, that would be very valuable as scenarios to see the company risks. This case study shows the finding the reasons which caused the failure of small venture companies and it's implications in the filed of establishing companies. The technology based venture company which had run 10 years in Daedeok's IT field was selected as the research object. The results show that the important factors such as entrepreneur characteristics(lack of communication and management knowledge), business management(lack of business expertise) and technology(loss of unique feature of product and lack of product extension) were the root cause of failures.
