창업가 관점에서 스타트업의 태생적 한계를 이해하고 실패에 대한 위험부담을 줄이며 성공을 위해 가장 중요한 요인 중 하나는 인재 즉, 창업팀의 구성이다. 이에 예비창업 단계 또는 창업초기 단계의 창업가들이 경험하는 공통적인 고민은 단독창업과 공동창업에 대한 선택일 것이다. 그럼에도 우리나라는 현재 단독창업 비중이 공동창업 대비 현저히 높은 실정이다. 이에 반해 다수의 성공적인 글로벌 혁신기업은 공동창업의 형태라는 점에 주목하여 공동창업 기업의 성공요인에 관해 고찰하였다. 관련 선행연구 대부분 창업의 생존과 성공에 미치는 요인으로 창업가 개인의 역량과 특성을 규명하는 연구들로서 실제 창업생태계 현장에서 흔하게 볼 수 있는 동업 즉, 공동창업에 관한 연구는 부족한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구는 기회형 창업에 성공한 국내 스타트업의 공동창업자를 대상으로 심층 인터뷰와 관련 자료의 수집, 맥락 정보의 분석 및 선행연구 고찰을 통한 다중사례 연구를 시도하였다. 이를 통해 공동창업의 단계별 특성과 핵심 성공요인을 도출하는 모델을 제언하였다. 연구결과, 예비창업 단계의 핵심요소는 '기회', 성공요인은 '창업가의 경험을 통한 기회인식'과 '아이디어 개발'로 나타났다. 창업초기 단계의 핵심요소는 '창업팀', 성공요인은 '창업팀의 신뢰와 상호보완'으로 '창업팀의 다양성과 동질성'이 조화를 이루어 시너지 효과가 발휘되는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 창업초기 공동창업자 간 발생하는 갈등은 창업생존에 중요한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 창업팀 갈등은 끊임없는 '의사소통을 통한 상호이해와 존중', '명확한 업무구분과 역할분담'으로 극복할 수 있음을 확인하였다. 창업성장 단계의 핵심요소는 '자원', 성공요인으로 '우수인재 확보'와 '외부자금 조달'이 주요 요인으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 창업학 연구에서 한정된 자원과 경험 부족 및 실패에 대한 위험부담 등 창업기업의 한계점을 극복하고 성공률 제고를 위한 대안 중 하나로 공동창업의 형태가 주목받는 상황에서 창업을 준비하는 예비 창업가들과 창업생태계의 다양한 이해관계자들에게 시사하는 바가 있다.

본 연구는 Node2vec 그래프 임베딩 방법과 Light GBM 링크 예측을 활용해 우리나라 식음료 산업의 미개척 수출 후보국가를 탐색한다. Node2vec은 네트워크의 공통 이웃 개수 등을 기반으로 하는 기존의 링크 예측 방법에 비해 상대적으로 취약하다고 알려져 있던 네트워크의 구조적 등위성 표현의 한계를 개선한 방법이다. 따라서 해당 방법은 네트워크의 커뮤니티 탐지와 구조적 등위성 모두에서 우수한 성능을 나타내는 것으로 알려져 있다. 이에 본 연구는 이상의 방법을 우리나라 식음료 산업의 국제 무역거래 정보에 적용했다. 이를 통해 해당 산업의 글로벌 가치사슬 관계에서 우리나라의 광범위한 마진 다각화 효과를 창출하는데 기여하고자 한다. 본 연구의 결과를 통해 도출된 최적의 예측 모델은 0.95의 정밀도와 0.79의 재현율을 기록하며 0.86의 F1 score를 기록해 우수한 성능을 나타냈다. 이상의 모델을 통해 도출한 우리나라의 잠재적 수출 후보국가들의 결과는 추가 조사를 통해 대부분 적절하게 나타난 것을 알 수 있었다. 이상의 내용을 종합하여 본 연구는 Node2vec과 Light GBM을 응용한 링크 예측 방법의 실무적 활용성에 대해 시사할 수 있었다. 그리고 모델을 학습하며 링크 예측을 보다 잘 수행할 수 있는 가중치 업데이트 전략에 대해서도 유용한 시사점을 도출할 수 있었다. 한편, 본 연구는 그래프 임베딩 기반의 링크 예측 관련 연구에서 아직까지 많이 수행된 적 없는 무역거래에 이를 적용했기에 정책적 활용성도 갖고 있다. 본 연구의 결과는 최근 미중 무역갈등이나 일본 수출 규제 등과 같은 글로벌 가치사슬의 변화에 대한 빠른 대응을 지원하며 정책적 의사결정을 위한 도구로써 충분한 유용성이 있다고 생각한다.

This project was a service-cum-research effort with a quasi-experimental study design to examine the health benefits of an integrated Family Planning (FP)/Maternal & Child health (MCH) Service approach that provides crucial factors missing in the present on-going programs. The specific objectives were: 1) To test the effectiveness of trained nurse/midwives (MW) assigned as change agents in the Health Sub-Center (HSC) to bring about the changes in the eight FP/MCH indicators, namely; (i)FP/MCH contacts between field workers and their clients (ii) the use of effective FP methods, (iii) the inter-birth interval and/or open interval, (iv) prenatal care by medically qualified personnel, (v) medically supervised deliveries, (vi) the rate of induced abortion, (vii) maternal and infant morbidity, and (viii) preinatal & infant mortality. 2) To measure the integrative linkage (contacts) between MW & HSC workers and between HSC and clients. 3) To examine the organizational or administrative factors influencing integrative linkage between health workers. Study design; The above objectives called for quasi-experimental design setting up a study and control area with and without a midwife. An active intervention program (FP/MCH minimum 'package' program) was conducted for a 2 year period from June 1982-July 1984 in Seosan County and 'before and after' surveys were conducted to measure the change. Service input; This study was undertaken by the Soonchunhyang University in collaboration with WHO. After a baseline survery in 1981, trained nurses/midwives were introduced into two health sub-centers in a rural setting (Seosan county) for a 2 year period from 1982 to 1984. A major service input was the establishment of midwifery services in the existing health delivery system with emphasis on nurse/midwife's role as the link between health workers (nurse aids) and village health workers, and the referral of risk patients to the private physician (OBGY specialist). An evaluation survey was made in August 1984 to assess the effectiveness of this alternative integrated approach in the study areas in comparison with the control area which had normal government services. Method of evaluation; a. In this study, the primary objective was first to examine to what extent the FP/MCH package program brought about changes in the pre-determined eight indicators (outcome and impact measures) and the following relationship was first analyzed; b. Nevertheless, this project did not automatically accept the assumption that if two or more activities were integrated, the results would automatically be better than a non-integrated or categorical program. There is a need to assess the 'integration process' itself within the package program. The process of integration was measured in terms of interactive linkages, or the quantity & quality of contacts between workers & clients and among workers. Intergrative linkages were hypothesized to be influenced by organizational factors at the HSC clinic level including HSC goals, sltrurture, authority, leadership style, resources, and personal characteristics of HSC staff. The extent or degree of integration, as measured by the intensity of integrative linkages, was in turn presumed to influence programme performance. Thus as indicated diagrammatically below, organizational factors constituted the independent variables, integration as the intervening variable and programme performance with respect to family planning and health services as the dependent variable: Concerning organizational factors, however, due to the limited number of HSCs (2 in the study area and 3 in the control area), they were studied by participatory observation of an anthropologist who was independent of the project. In this observation, we examined whether the assumed integration process actually occurred or not. If not, what were the constraints in producing an effective integration process. Summary of Findings; A) Program effects and impact 1. Effects on FP use: During this 2 year action period, FP acceptance increased from 58% in 1981 to 78% in 1984 in both the study and control areas. This increase in both areas was mainly due to the new family planning campaign driven by the Government for the same study period. Therefore, there was no increment of FP acceptance rate due to additional input of MW to the on-going FP program. But in the study area, quality aspects of FP were somewhat improved, having a better continuation rate of IUDs & pills and more use of effective Contraceptive methods in comparison with the control area. 2. Effects of use of MCH services: Between the study and control areas, however, there was a significant difference in maternal and child health care. For example, the coverage of prenatal care was increased from 53% for 1981 birth cohort to 75% for 1984 birth cohort in the study area. In the control area, the same increased from 41% (1981) to 65% (1984). It is noteworthy that almost two thirds of the recent birth cohort received prenatal care even in the control area, indicating that there is a growing demand of MCH care as the size of family norm becomes smaller 3. There has been a substantive increase in delivery care by medical professions in the study area, with an annual increase rate of 10% due to midwives input in the study areas. The project had about two times greater effect on postnatal care (68% vs. 33%) at delivery care(45.2% vs. 26.1%). 4. The study area had better reproductive efficiency (wanted pregancies with FP practice & healthy live births survived by one year old) than the control area, especially among women under 30 (14.1% vs. 9.6%). The proportion of women who preferred the 1st trimester for their first prenatal care rose significantly in the study area as compared to the control area (24% vs 13%). B) Effects on Interactive Linkage 1. This project made a contribution in making several useful steps in the direction of service integration, namely; i) The health workers have become familiar with procedures on how to work together with each other (especially with a midwife) in carrying out their work in FP/MCH and, ii) The health workers have gotten a feeling of the usefulness of family health records (statistical integration) in identifying targets in their own work and their usefulness in caring for family health. 2. On the other hand, because of a lack of required organizational factors, complete linkage was not obtained as the project intended. i) In regards to the government health worker's activities in terms of home visiting there was not much difference between the study & control areas though the MW did more home visiting than Government health workers. ii) In assessing the service performance of MW & health workers, the midwives balanced their workload between 40% FP, 40% MCH & 20% other activities (mainly immunization). However, $85{\sim}90%$ of the services provided by the health workers were other than FP/MCH, mainly for immunizations such as the encephalitis campaign. In the control area, a similar pattern was observed. Over 75% of their service was other than FP/MCH. Therefore, the pattern shows the health workers are a long way from becoming multipurpose workers even though the government is pushing in this direction. 3. Villagers were much more likely to visit the health sub-center clinic in the study area than in the control area (58% vs.31%) and for more combined care (45% vs.23%). C) Organization factors (admistrative integrative issues) 1. When MW (new workers with higher qualification) were introduced to HSC, it was noted that there were conflicts between the existing HSC workers (Nurse aids with less qualification than MW) and the MW for the beginning period of the project. The cause of the conflict was studied by an anthropologist and it was pointed out that these functional integration problems stemmed from the structural inadequacies of the health subcenter organization as indicated below; i) There is still no general consensus about the objectives and goals of the project between the project staff and the existing health workers. ii) There is no formal linkage between the responsibility of each member's job in the health sub-center. iii) There is still little chance for midwives to play a catalytic role or to establish communicative networks between workers in order to link various knowledge and skills to provide better FP/MCH services in the health sub-center. 2. Based on the above findings the project recommended to the County Chief (who has power to control the administrative staff and the technical staff in his county) the following ; i) In order to solve the conflicts between the individual roles and functions in performing health care activities, there must be goals agreed upon by both. ii) The health sub·center must function as an autonomous organization to undertake the integration health project. In order to do that, it is necessary to support administrative considerations, and to establish a communication system for supervision and to control of the health sub-centers. iii) The administrative organization, tentatively, must be organized to bind the health worker's midwive's and director's jobs by an organic relationship in order to achieve the integrative system under the leadership of health sub-center director. After submitting this observation report, there has been better understanding from frequent meetings & communication between HW/MW in FP/MCH work as the program developed. Lessons learned from the Seosan Project (on issues of FP/MCH integration in Korea); 1) A majority or about 80% of the couples are now practicing FP. As indicated by the study, there is a growing demand from clients for the health system to provide more MCH services than FP in order to maintain the achieved small size of family through FP practice. It is fortunate to see that the government is now formulating a MCH policy for the year 2,000 and revising MCH laws and regulations to emphasize more MCH care for achieving a small size family through family planning practice. 2) Goal consensus in FP/MCH shouBd be made among the health workers It administrators, especially to emphasize the need of care of 'wanted' child. But there is a long way to go to realize the 'real' integration of FP into MCH in Korea, unless there is a structural integration FP/MCH because a categorical FP is still first priority to reduce the rate of population growth for economic reasons but not yet for health/welfare reasons in practice. 3) There should be more financial allocation: (i) a midwife should be made available to help to promote the MCH program and coordinate services, (in) there should be a health sub·center director who can provide leadership training for managing the integrated program. There is a need for 'organizational support', if the decision of integration is made to obtain benefit from both FP & MCH. In other words, costs should be paid equally to both FP/MCH. The integration slogan itself, without the commitment of paying such costs, is powerless to advocate it. 4) Need of management training for middle level health personnel is more acute as the Government has already constructed 90 MCH centers attached to the County Health Center but without adequate manpower, facilities, and guidelines for integrating the work of both FP and MCH. 5) The local government still considers these MCH centers only as delivery centers to take care only of those visiting maternity cases. The MCH center should be a center for the managment of all pregnancies occurring in the community and the promotion of FP with a systematic and effective linkage of resources available in the county such as i.e. Village Health Worker, Community Health Practitioner, Health Sub-center Physicians & Health workers, Doctors and Midwives in MCH center, OBGY Specialists in clinics & hospitals as practiced by the Seosan project at primary health care level.
