On the purpose to analyze the survival rate of startup companies since their establishment, the companies' survival rate was investigated by surviving period. The average and coefficient of variation(C.V.) of the startup companies' survival rate were examined with the comparison of urban and rural areas, and primary, secondary, and tertiary industries. In this study, the variation of total numbers of new-established companies, from 1998 to 2012, were analyzed with micro-data of the Statistics Korea, 'The Census on Establishments'. The results show that the survival rate of primary industry companies largely fluctuate and don't be stabled during the whole surviving periods, whereas secondary and tertiary industry companies show stabilized survival rate after fifth year from their establishment. Especially, the startup companies of primary industry located at urban areas show the largest fluctuation and the most vulnerable stability of survival rate. It is concluded that the surviving period of primary industry companies don't guarantee their survival, while survival rate of secondary and tertiary industry company became stable after five years from their establishment.

기업의 소셜미디어 활용이 빠른 속도로 증가함에 따라 성공적인 소셜미디어 활용전략의 중요성이 커지고 있다. 이러한 중요성은 새로이 시장에 진입하여 신속하게 시장에서의 인지도를 확대하고 미래고객을 확보해야 할 필요성이 큰 스타트업 회사에게 더욱 절실하다고 할 수 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 스타트업 회사의 소셜미디어 활용의 특징을 보여주는 지표를 탐색적으로 조사, 분석하는데 두고 있다. 주요 지표는 전반적인 소셜미디어 관련 활동을 보여주는 지표와 소셜미디어 서비스을 통해 형성된 소셜네트워크 구조의 특성과 관련 지표를 포함한다. 스타트업 회사의 이러한 지표를 좀 더 객관적으로 평가하기 위하여 잘 갖춰진 기존 회사의 지표와 비교, 분석 하였다. 본 연구를 위해 여러 소셜미디어 서비스 중 트위터를 선정하고, 트위터 REST API를 통해 측정지표와 관련된 데이터와 팔로워네트워크(follower-network)에 대한 데이터를 수집하였다. 주요 분석방법으로 각 회사의 소셜네트워크 구조의 특성을 분석하기 위해 소셜네트워크분석기법이 활용되었으며, 클러스터분석 기법을 이용하여 스타트업 회사와 기존 회사의 측정지표를 비교, 분석하였다. 분석결과에 따르면 대부분의 측정지표에서 스타트업 회사와 기존 회사 간에 유의미한 차이를 보여주고 있다. 특징적인 분석결과의 하나로 스타트업 회사들이 상대적으로 많은 수의 인플루언서 (influencer)를 팔로워네트워크에 가지고 있다는 점이다. 또한, 스타트업 회사를 포함하는 클러스터의 네트워크 모듈성(modularity)과 추이성(transitivity)이 기존 회사에 비해 상대적으로 높은 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 스타트업 회사의 소셜네트워크 안에 기존 회사에 비해 내부결속력이 높은 상대적으로 많은 수의 커뮤니티가 존재한다는 점을 시사한다고 할 수 있다. 스타트업 회사의 이러한 특징은 잠재고객 및 비즈니스 파트너와의 효과적인 정보교환을 촉진할 수 있으며, 따라서 향후 일반적인 스타트업 회사의 소셜미디어 노력은 어떻게 인플루언서를 확보할 것인지, 또한 어떻게 내부결속력이 높은 긴밀한 네트워크를 구축할 것인지에 초점을 두어야 할 필요성이 있음을 시사하고 있다.

본 연구는 2002년부터 2012년까지의 우리나라 벤처창업정책이 어떤 기조로 변화해왔는지를 살펴보고 그 성과와 한계점을 고찰하고 과제를 제언하는데 초점을 두었다. 우리나라 정부의 벤처창업 정책은 1997년에 제정된 "벤처기업 육성에 관한 특별조치법"을 계기로 시작되어 2002년부터 2004년까지는 벤처기업 옥석 가리기 등 벤처산업 건전화 정책이 주요 기조를 이루었고, 2005년부터 2006년까지는 벤처캐피탈의 역량과 투명성을 제고하는 벤처창업정책이 주요 기조였다. 그리고 2007년부터 2012년까지 기술창업활성화와 청년창업활성화의 정책 기조를 띠었다. 2002년부터 2012년까지의 한국 벤처창업정책은 IT를 중심으로 한 벤처기업의 내실 있는 성장을 촉진하는데 주안점을 두었으며, 혁신형 중소기업 육성, 1인 창조기업 지원 등 벤처창업의 하드웨어적인 인프라를 구축하고 자금을 지원하는데 역점을 두었다고 평가할 수 있다.

This study addresses the challenge of objectively evaluating the performance of early-stage startups amidst limited information and uncertainty. Focusing on companies selected by TIPS, a leading private sector-driven startup support policy in Korea, the research develops a new indicator to assess technological efficiency. By analyzing various input and output variables collected from Crunchbase and KIND (Korea Investor's Network for Disclosure System) databases, including technology use metrics, patents, and Crunchbase rankings, the study derives technological efficiency for TIPS-selected startups. A prediction model is then developed utilizing machine learning techniques such as Random Forest and boosting (XGBoost) to classify startups into efficiency percentiles (10th, 30th, and 50th). The results indicate that prediction accuracy improves with higher percentiles based on the technical efficiency index, providing valuable insights for evaluating and predicting startup performance in early markets characterized by information scarcity and uncertainty. Future research directions should focus on assessing growth potential and sustainability using the developed classification and prediction models, aiding investors in making data-driven investment decisions and contributing to the development of the early startup ecosystem.

The startup behaviour of PEM fuel cells at subfreeze zero is one of the most challenging tasks to be solved before PEM fuel cell vehicle is commercialized. Automotive companies are trying to increase cold statup capability of fuel cell. In this study, we found out the design factor of the stack to increase cold startup capability using 4kW stack and then cold startup test was performed at the various shutdown condition and the various current. In order to test the cold startup possibility and capability in vehicle, we installed 80kW stack in the vehicle and this 80kW fuel cell vehicle was housed in an environmental chamber to investigate the characteristics of cold startup and driving. We found that it is possible for fuel cell vehicle with 80kW stack to self-heated cold startup and drive at $-15^{\circ}C$.
