Purpose: This study highlights the importance of emphasizing entrepreneurship and sustainability among managers to address the challenges of Industry 6.0, especially in situations of increasing environmental uncertainty. The research model reveals the important structural relationship between entrepreneurship, sustainability, and innovation performance, and through empirical analysis, we sought to confirm that entrepreneurship in the 6th industry is related to technological innovation. Methods: A survey was conducted targeting 6th industry entrepreneurs, and the relationship was analyzed using SPSS and AMOS. Results: Despite a non-significant direct relationship between entrepreneurship and innovation performance, a notable effect of sustainability on innovation performance was identified. This highlights the fact that entrepreneurship contributes to firm performance through innovation activities, especially in the form of technological innovation. Conclusion: This study highlights the essential characteristics of entrepreneurship and sustainability, highlights their interconnectedness and suggests that their inclusion in the same management activities improves performance.

This study empirically analyzes how the career orientation factors of startup entrepreneurs affect entrepreneurial satisfaction as well as business sustainability. We propose directions for startup sustainability and development. Based on previous research, we defined the career orientation of entrepreneurs through the five orientation factors of security, autonomy, technical competence, managerial competence, and entrepreneurial creativity. We constructed a research model to determine whether these factors have a causal relationship with entrepreneurial satisfaction or business sustainability through the medium of organizational entrepreneurship. We surveyed startups in Korea using a questionnaire and collected and analyzed a total of 282 points of survey data. The analysis results demonstrated that the entrepreneurial creativity and managerial competence of the members of a startup can play an important role within entrepreneurial satisfaction and business sustainability. Both autonomy and technical competence exhibited no effect on entrepreneurial satisfaction and business sustainability through the medium of entrepreneurship, while security showed a negative effect. In order to improve entrepreneurial satisfaction and achieve business sustainability, we confirmed that it was more important for startups to consider the creativity and business management competences of entrepreneurs rather than pursue business security or have a technology-oriented attitude.

본 연구의 목적은 지속가능발전목표(SDGs)가 유엔총회에서 결의된 이후 전 세계적으로 창업분야에서 SDGs 연구가 얼마나 수행되었는지 살펴보고, 해외 및 국내 연구동향을 비교하여 국내 SDGs 이행을 위한 창업분야의 연구 방향성을 모색하는 데 있다. 이를 위해 검색어를 선정한 후 Web of Science(Wos), KCI, DBpia 등 세 개의 데이터베이스를 활용하여 창업분야의 SDGs 연구물을 추출하였다. 데이터 정제를 거쳐 해외는 총 356편의 연구물을, 국내는 총 4편의 연구물을 분석에 활용하였다. 국내 연구물은 숫자가 너무 적어 해외 연구물만 빈도분석과 키워드 네트워크 분석을 실시하여 연구동향을 살펴보았다. 연구 결과 빈도분석에서는 창업분야 SDGs 연구가 지속가능성과 관련된 용어들을 중심으로 비즈니스 모델, 혁신, 창업교육, 전략 등과 함께 연구되는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 연도별 빈도분석을 통해 창업분야 SDGs 정책, SDGs 이행에 있어 여성 창업가들의 역할, 에너지 창업분야의 SDGs, 경영대학원의 SDGs 이행 방향성과 SDGs 교육, SDGs 이행과 평가를 위한 지표, 지속가능성을 위한 기술 등으로 매년 주제가 다양하게 확장되는 것으로 나타났다. 키워드 네트워크 분석에서는 연구제목과 저자 키워드, 초록을 모두 포함하여 분석한 결과, 비즈니스, 지속가능성, SDGs, 혁신, 창업가정신, 비즈니스 모델, 교육 등의 핵심 키워드를 중심으로 연구범위가 창업생태계, 변화와 전략, 윤리, 기후 등으로 확장되는 것이 확인되었다. 본 연구는 해외 창업분야의 SDGs 연구동향을 제시함으로써 불모지에 가까운 국내 창업분야 SDGs 연구의 발판을 마련하였다는 점에 의의가 있다.

Purpose - While sustainability is based on the argument that the world's resources are finite and their demand will ultimately surpass supply, entrepreneurship on the other hand argues that there are inherent opportunities to address this through conserving, recycling, switching to more renewable resources and making effective use of available finite resources. Research design, data, and methodology - In response to the lack of scientific information on the outcomes of entrepreneurship in rural Nigeria, this paper surveys the benefits (social, economic and environmental) of women engagement in waste plastic bags recycling in Adamawa State of Nigeria. A descriptive research design was adopted and data was collected from 26 respondents with the use of a semi-structured questionnaire, which was analyzed using descriptive statistics and presented in frequency tables. Results - Results indicated that 21 women have gained employment, who would have remained unemployed; 80.8% of who make profits below 10000 Naira per month and collectively, they recycle 179.3kg of waste polythene bag per month. Conclusions - It was recommended that the women should be further their education; adequate records of costs and sales should be kept; and savings should be encouraged among them.

Over the past decades, the Jordanian government has made great efforts to help poor women start small businesses by providing microcredit and facilitating financial services. Although in Jordan almost hundreds of thousands of women have the ability to contribute more fully to their economy, they are reluctant to do so. Women's participation in economic activities in 2016 was only 13.2%, while the unemployment rate for Jordanian women was 24.1%. The decline in women's participation in small business management has gradually become an important issue following the trial of more than 13,000 Jordanian women for non-payment of their micro-loans. This study aims to identify the factors that hinder Jordanian women from achieving job stability. In this qualitative study, a semi-structured interview method with sixteen open-ended questions was used to collect relevant data. A purposeful sampling method is also used to select participants. To analyze the data, this study used NVivo 11 software as a method. Using System Theory, this study showed that women's failure depends on three factors: women entrepreneurs, the environment around women entrepreneurs, and micro-financial institutions. Findings of this study suggest that strengthen women's entrepreneurship sustainability and minimize the risk of failure should be done through integrated strategies include these three domains.

규모가 축소되고 소수인력만을 활용하는 고비용 창출이라는 국제적 추세의 영향으로 현재 국내의 실업률이 심각하게 증가되고 있다. 이를 극복하기 위한 방편으로 국가는 창업진흥정책을 전개 중이지만 과다한 창업자 생성과 특정분야에의 집중으로 인하여 이들은 생존조차 불분명한 상황인 바, 본 연구는 창업자들의 내적 특성에 해당되는 창업동기와 창업가정신 그리고 외적특성인 역량특성이 경영성과를 매개로 하여 지속가능성에 미치는 영향을 규명하여 성공적 창업을 위한 유용한 방향성을 제공하고자 하였다. 가설검증 결과, 창업동기, 창업가정신 그리고 역량특성은 경영성과에 유의한 정(+)의 영향을 미쳤고, 경영성과는 지속가능성에 유의한 정(+)의 영향을 미쳤다. 또한 창업동기, 창업가정신 그리고 역량특성이 지속가능성에 미치는 영향에 있어 경영성과는 모두 매개되었다. 현재까지의 경영성과와 기업지속가능성에 미치는 영향요인에 관한 연구들은 본 연구의 독립변인들을 개별적으로 혹은 2가지 변인으로 연구를 진행해 온 바, 창업자의 내적특성과 외적특성을 다각도로 검증하여 실무적 방향성을 총체적으로 검증한 본 연구는 차후 창업 준비 특성과 같은 창업자 배경적 특성이 추가되어 더욱 포괄적으로 진행된다면 더욱 심도 깊은 결과 도출이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

The main implications of this study are as follows. First, the entrepreneurship of the executives recognized by the organization members has a positive influence on the social capital in the organization. In other words, the higher the entrepreneurship of management, the higher the social capital in the organization. Second, the effect of the entrepreneurship of the management on the organizational performance is shown to have a statistically significant positive effect. In other words, the entrepreneurship of management was a key factor in achieving organizational performance. Third, social capital in the organization has a statistically significant effect on organizational performance. In order to improve organizational performance, it is necessary to systematically improve and reinforce entrepreneurship and social capital in management. On the other hand, it is considered that the executives' entrepreneurial spirit consistent with the characteristics of the company type, management environment, and organizational members should be continuously demonstrated, and the implementation plan for the social capital in the organization should be developed.

본 논문은 사회혁신기업 (주)향기내는사람들의 사례를 통해 기업 내외부적 요인들이 지속가능성을 결정하는 관계를 고찰하였다. 이를 통하여 우리는 사회혁신기업의 지속가능성의 구성요소와 결정요소에 관한 다음과 같은 몇 가지 사실 및 경영 정책 함의를 도출할 수 있다. 우선 첫째, 기업가정신은 사회혁신기업의 생존과 성장을 위해 필수적이다. 기업가정신을 발휘하여 사회혁신 기업가는 상충관계에 있는 경제적 가치와 사회적 가치가 유기적으로 상호작용하여 새로운 시장기회를 창출할 수 있도록 효과적으로 관리해야 한다. 둘째, 일반 기업과 동일하게 사회혁신기업 역시 경쟁우위 자원이 중요하다. 기회를 활용하고 위험요소를 피하는데 유용한 자원, 타기업은 보유하지 못한 희소한 자원, 경쟁기업들이 모방하기 어려운 자원, 그리고 이들 자원을 충분히 활용할 수 있는 조직능력은 사회혁신기업의 경제적 목표를 달성하는데 필수적이다. 이렇게 달성된 경제적 목표는 사회혁신기업의 재정자립을 낳고, 사회적 목표를 균형적으로 모색할 수 있게 돕는다. 셋째, 신제품 및 서비스를 꾸준히 개발하고, 신시장을 개척하며, 시장의 기회를 민첩하게 포착하고, 능력을 갖춘 채 위험을 감수하는 기업가정신으로 무장한 사회혁신기업은 경쟁우위 자원을 충분히 활용할 수 있을 때 경제적 목표와 사회적 목표를 균형적으로 추구할 수 있다. 이 과정에서 정부나 지자체의 재정지원은 사회혁신기업의 지속가능성을 보장해주지 못한다. 또한 조직에 대한 비전 및 가치관 공유(개인-조직 적합성)는 조직몰입과 연계될 수 있을 때 비로소 사회혁신기업의 지속가능성을 보장해줄 수 있다.
