International construction market has been open to other countries, and it derives the development of our overseas construction industry quantitatively as well as qualitatively. Until now, the major companies have an absolute majority in the overseas construction market, and the small and medium enterprises have had difficulty to get a leadership in the international construction market because of the lack of the technical expertise and the capital strength. Especially in the Middle East Asia, our construction companies has touched off a boom, so our market share also has grown, which derived from the up toward ratchet oil prices and a worldwide boom in real estate development. The small and medium enterprise minority have recognition that the overseas construction market is the major company's native territory. But Data from the existing researches and many statistics indicate the most companies tend to underestimate the capacity and international competitiveness of the small and medium enterprises. As a matter of fact, hundreds of small and medium enterprise cut a conspicuous figure in overseas market. Consequently, it is indispensable to overcome the international financial crisis by revitalizing our overseas construction industry which obtains excellent results in international market. this study suggested the ways to expand overseas bonding capacity of Korean financial institution. This study proposed the Korean government to allow Construction Guarantee (former Korea Construction Financial Cooperative) to deal with foreign exchange so that Construction Guarantee will underwrite the overseas construction bond.

매출채권보험은 거래상대방의 채무불이행으로 인한 중소기업의 손실 발생위험을 제거하는데 매우 효과적인 수단이며, 기업의 연쇄도산을 막음으로써 경제적으로 국내 중소기업을 보호하는 제도이다. 하지만 이러한 유용성에도 불구하고 중소기업들은 매출채권의 소유권 확인 및 이전 문제, 가입의 복잡성 등으로 현재 활용도가 저조한 실정이다. 이에 본 연구는 매출채권보험의 활성화를 위하여 프라이빗 블록체인(Private blockchain) 기반의 매출채권보험 플랫폼 구축을 제안하였다. 제안된 매출채권보험 플랫폼은 보험 가입의 편의성과 신뢰성 검증에 대한 기존 문제를 해결할 수 있을 것이다. 또한, 블록체인 기술을 기반으로 신속한 거래속도를 확보하고, 네트워크 확장의 용이성과 접근 관리를 통해 중소기업을 위한 매출채권보험 가입 활성화에 도움을 될 것으로 기대한다.

Purpose - A rapidly changing business environment places great demands on small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). These SMEs need to find strategic alternatives for continued growth and, ultimately, survival. Thus, mergers and acquisitions (M&A) are deemed an acceptable solution. Research to date has dealt with M&A in major organizations and focused on post merger integration (PMI). Our study focuses on SMEs, as they are relatively new and unknown to the public. Therefore, this study highlights successful M&A and decision making for SMEs through a case study analysis. Research design, data, and methodology - For this study, we examined an M&A case between company S, which produces cell phone parts, and company P, which produces SSD cases. We reviewed theories and previous studies in M&A literature. We comprehensively examined the decision-making procedure at each M&A stage, describing the situation of the buying company and the selling company from the period of the M&A announcement through deal completion. In addition, we conducted interviews with both companies. The data regarding this case study were collected through interviews with managers of both companies who actively participated in the M&A process. When necessary, we asked them about additional relevant information during the interviews. Results - The result of the M&A between company S and company P was deemed acceptable with the exception of the long negotiation period. However, company S was not able to prepare for PMI after the acquisition due to a controversy over acquisition values. Moreover, the employees of the newly formed company, especially those who came from company P, complained about the M&A and attempted to leave. Thus, implications for successful M&As of SMEs are as follows: First, the procedural compliance of the M&A is needed. Second, support is needed from the CEO for the working group, rather than excessive intervention during due diligence. Third, the right, talented members of the organization should be part of the process of the M&A. Fourth, the use of various types of outside expert or business consultants is needed. Fifth, the strategic intervention by Human Resource managers is required. Last, sharing M&A information among employees is important as information dissemination will help employees be more receptive to such a change. However, this study has several limitations as a single case study; more varied SME M&A case studies are needed in order to generalize the results of the study. Conclusions - Most of the research dealing with M&As has focused on major companies and PMI and neglected SMEs. Thus, our study focuses on SMEs and the decision-making procedures for M&A. This study has significantly contributed to the literature in this area and has provided practical information around the implications of sound decision-making during M&As. Specifically, the results of the study contribute to the need for research on M&A among SMEs, which to date has often been neglected as a topic of choice.

신제품 개발 과정에서 성공적인 혁신을 창출하기 위해서는 외부 파트너와의 원활한 협력관계 뿐만 아니라 부서 간 장벽을 허무는 노력도 요구된다. 이 연구는 대중소 기업간 신제품 개발 협력과정에서 혁신창출의 성공요인들이 어떻게 작용하는지 분석하였다. 대형 소매업체와 두 개의 중소협력사들의 협력관계 구축을 통한 신제품 개발 과정에 대한 사례 분석을 실시한 결과 적어도 단기적으로는 중소협력사들이 매우 큰 성장율을 달성하였음을 발견하였다. 기업 간 협력을 통한 혁신의 성공요소들 가운데, 대기업의 관계 특정적 투자가 중소협력업체의 참여 동기에 결정적 영향을 미쳤음을 발견하였다. 또한 두 개의 중소협력사들이 직접 상호작용하는 이른바 '폐쇄적' 네트워크를 구축하여 신제품 개발에 필요한 지식을 창출함으로써 짧은 시간에 고품질의 상품개발에 성공할 수 있었다. 식품산업에서 소매업체와 공급업체간 협력에 의한 신제품 개발에 관한 기존 연구들이 커뮤니케이션 문제를 야기하는 상호 입장 차이를 성패결정의 핵심요소 중 하나로 보았으나 본 연구에서는 대기업과 중소기업간 협력의 경우 대형 소매업체의 주도적 역할이 오히려 핵심적 기능을 한 것으로 나타났다.

The effect of learning orientation on company innovation and innovation capability are explored based on survey data collected from 154 small and medium-sized manufacturing firms. The theoretical links between learning orientation and company innovation as well as innovation capability are investigated in four research models that compare textile and non-textile manufacturing firms. Learning orientation has a significant effect on company innovation and innovation capability in the model test. However, some of the three segmented factors (commitment to learning, shared vision, and open-mindedness) of learning orientation had no significant effect on company innovation and innovation capability. Company innovation and innovation capability of textile manufacturing firms are predicted by the commitment to learning and shared vision, whereas those of non-textile firms were determined by shared vision and open-mindedness. Differences show that firms may need to put weight on some distinctive aspects of learning orientation according to the business categories in order to enhance company innovation.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to present a plan to expand the employment of the elderly in Small business as one of the ways to solve the problem of the supply and demand of the company due to the aging population and the problem of the elderly poverty. Research design, data and methodology: The method of this study is a qualitative research method, and the researcher visited a small and medium-sized company directly and collected data by conducting an in-depth interview with a business owner. The interview period was conducted on a total of 15 business owners from November 5, 2013 to November 18, 2013. Results: First, the reason why companies hire the elderly is because they are suitable people, and the reason why they are not employed is because the elderly are not suitable. Second, it was found that the most recruiting paths continued to work after retirement. Third, the strengths of the elderly in their businesses were diligence, integrity, leadership, wisdom, warmth, and skill. Disadvantages the elderly in their businesses include wanting to be treated as an adult, poor productivity, poor accuracy, and health risks. Fourth, in case of hiring the elderly, they were considering convergence with young employees, and it was suggested that there are no difficulties in being an elderly because the companies hiring the elderly use the elderly according to the characteristics of the elderly. Fifth, It is realistic to actively utilize the employment system after retirement. Sixth, it was found that, unlike young people, it is not easy to recruit people on the Internet, so it is necessary to improve the system. Lastly, some industries clearly distinguished between the jobs of the elderly and the jobs of the young, but in many industries, it was desirable to create jobs for the elderly by harmonizing the main and secondary jobs. Conclusion: Ultimately, the work of the elderly in small and medium-sized enterprises should be reborn as a high-quality job that can solve the poverty of the elderly by working as a regular worker in the enterprise, rather than simply working for the elderly.

ESG 경영은 전세계 모든 산업분야에서 중요한 이슈로 인식되고 있으며, 물류산업에서도 ESG 경영에 대한 인식이 점점 높아지고 있다. 그러나, ESG 경영에 적극적으로 참여하는 기업들은 주로 대기업들이며 중소·중견 물류기업들은 ESG에 대한 이해와 참여 수준이 아직 미흡한 상황이다. 선행연구들은 물류기업을 위한 ESG 경영 이행 가이드라인의 수립 필요성을 거듭 제기하였으며, 물류기업 유형별 특성을 고려한 ESG 경영 이행 평가항목의 가중치를 도출해야 한다고 강조하였다. 본 연구는 기존 선행연구에서 제시된 중소·중견 물류기업을 위한 ESG 경영 가이드라인 진단항목을 기반으로 AHP(Analytic Hierarchy Process) 조사를 통해 물류기업 유형별 ESG 경영 이행 평가항목의 가중치를 도출하였다. 분석결과는 해운물류기업은 환경이 가장 중요한 영역이며, 이어서 사회, 정보공시, 지배구조의 순; 육상운송기업은 사회를 가장 중요한 영역으로 평가하였으며, 이어서 지배구조, 환경, 정보공시의 순; 창고업 부분에서는 환경이 가장 중요한 영역으로 평가되었으며, 사회, 정보공시, 지배구조의 순; 종합물류기업은 환경을 가장 중요한 영역으로 평가하였으며, 이어서 정보공시, 사회, 지배구조의 순; 물류기업 유형별 진단항목의 중요도를 도출하였다. 본 연구의 분석결과는 향후 관련 기관에서 중소·중견 물류기업을 대상으로 하는 ESG 경영 이행 평가를 위한 가이드라인으로 활용될 수 있으며, 국내 중소·중견 물류기업들이 ESG 경영을 실천하기 위한 참고자료로 활용될 것으로 기대된다.
