After the rapidly changing business management environment and financial crisis, high prices and domestic recession in Korea posed threats to the business survival of small and medium enterprises (SMEs). This paper looks at the potential of micro business owners for sustainable development: those who have a spirit of entrepreneurship and the potential to be a hidden champion. Our study of micro business values uses structure equation modeling by LISREL. We have done so in order to understand the foundation of management innovation and success model of micro enterprise by increasing the entrepreneurship and management performance relationship analysis. A micro-enterprise is a type of small business, found only in Korea, often registered as having ten or fewer employees. We examine the successful type of hidden champions and the influence of entrepreneurship on start-ups in business. As compared to past research on the SME entrepreneurship, this study segments small businesses even further. Small business entrepreneurship was classified into three forms that are most appropriate for the Korean situation today: innovation, risk-taking, and pro-activeness. This research is meaningful as it is Korea's first empirical analysis on four business types: wholesale and retail sales, food and lodging business, service business, and manufacturing business. Thus far, research on small business entrepreneurship was carried out using small-scale investigative analysis. However, this research attempted to develop a model that can explain a cause-effect relation of the motivational level when it comes to the difference of entrepreneurship by each business type and small business start-up success factors. Various conceptual and operational definitions could be developed in a diverse and precise manner. Independent variables that are related to the success of small businesses can be developed additionally to examine the success factors related to the systematization in detailed manner. The research showed that the innovation, risk-taking and pro-activeness of the manifested difference in the degree of perception depending on the type of small businesses. Among the four business types, the ones that manifested the highest successful start-up rates were food, service, wholesale and retail sales and manufacturing. Results after conducting the regression analysis are shown on, which proves that the small business entrepreneurship exerts direct effect on the financial management performance of small businesses. In other words, small business entrepreneurship exerts a positive effect on the small business financial success and management performance. The R² value is 0.61. It is possible to know that the perception of systematization and variables on attitude explains the 61% of the success for small self-employed businesses management performance. We define start-up key factors that are helpful to achieve internal growth of firms by finding business survival strategies. The results also focus on Korean government policy for micro enterprise and small business support.

본 연구에서는 기업가정신과 경쟁우위가 경영성과 창출에 긍정적인 영향을 미친다는 기존 연구에 근거하여, 기업가정신과 사업화 능력을 포괄하는 기업가적 속성과 경쟁유형의 관점에서 접근한 차별적 경쟁우위가 비재무적 성과지표인 경영자의 주관적 경영성과지표에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. 연구방법은 전국 6개 중소기업청 담당자의 도움을 받아 창업단계에 있는 각 지역별 소기업 250여개업체 CEO를 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하고, 이 자료를 근거로 통계프로그램(Spss 18.0)을 활용하여 실증 분석하였다. 연구결과는 창업소기업 경영자의 기업가적 속성과 차별화 중심형 경쟁우위가 경영성과에 긍정적 영향을 미치고, 기업가적 속성중 기업가정신이 차별화 중심형 경쟁우위에 긍정적 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며, 또한 차별화 중심형 경쟁우위가 기업가적 속성과 경영성과와의 관계에서 매개역할을 하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 본 연구의 시사점은 창업기업의 경영자가 사업초기부터 경쟁력을 확보하는 데 필요한 차별적 경쟁우위를 구축하는 데 초점을 두어야 하며, 최단시간에 안정적 성장단계에 도달하기 위해서는 경영자의 기업가적 속성이 차별적 경쟁역량으로 내재화될 수 있도록 핵심역량을 정렬시키고, 창업초기 성장전략으로서 기업가정신의 강화와 차별적 경쟁우위에 근간한 경영전략을 수립, 중점적으로 추진하여야 함을 말하고 있다.

Purpose - Entrepreneurship promotion is emerging as an important economic growth agenda. However, in Korea, entrepreneurship has weakened because of the collapse of the venture bubbles of the 2000s and the global economic recession in 2008, which have induced the business community to choose stability over risk. The Korean government has been implementing several support projects to inspire and promote youth entrepreneurship through various means including financial assistance; however, the perpetuation rate of young entrepreneurship is still low as compared to advanced economies such as the US and EU. This case study focuses on the Youth Start-Up Business Support Program of the Small & Medium Business Corporation, and explores practical alternatives. Further, it aims to suggest managerial factors and a conceptual model for change management factors affecting the business performance creation of a startup company, based on the Small and medium Business Corporation's young venture startup fund. Research design, data, and methodology - Many studies examine the current progress and issues of startup firms, for example, a lack of systematic cultivation of entrepreneurship and startup business training, lack of commercialization funding for youth startup businesses, lack of mentoring, and inadequate infrastructure. From prior research, we address four factors, namely, personal managerial capabilities, innovative business model, sufficient cash flow, and social network, affecting startup companies' business performance. This study involved a sample survey of 200 young entrepreneurs to investigate casual relations between the four factors and business performance. A regression analysis was used to verify the hypotheses. Results - First, in relation to differences in the founder's personal characteristics, age, sales amount, and number of employees significantly impact business performance. Second, regarding the causal relation between the four factors for creating business performance, an innovative business model and social networking have supported the hypotheses, revealing that the more that a start-up founder has an innovative business model and social networking, the more the start-up firms are likely to have better performance (e.g., sales volume, employment, ROE, ROI, etc.). Although the founder's competency and sufficient cash flow have no significant relationship with business performance, the mean value was higher performance for high founder's competency and sufficient cash flow. Conclusions - This study provides basic data on policy support strategies of the Small and Medium Business Corporation, to help young entrepreneurs achieve their start-up business goals. It shows that young entrepreneurship startup firms should strive to explore ideas to satisfy customers' needs, and that changes in customer value and the continuous innovation of business model differentiation are required to actively respond to change management. Moreover, at the infant startup stage, they should activate social network programs to share information, thereby offsetting resource scarcity and managing business risk. Further, the establishment of a long-term vision and the implementation of training programs in related specific fields should be supported to strengthen founders' personal capabilities.

최근 청년 세대의 취업률 하락과 직장에서의 조기퇴직 등의 영향으로 소상공인 창업 시장의 경쟁이 과열되고 있다. 또한 부동산 부양 정책 등과 맞물려 국가의 가계부채가 1,200조를 넘어선 가운데, 소상공인 창업 실패비용도 한 영역을 차지하고 있다. 위와 같은 이유로 소상공인에 대한 정부의 지원이 다양한 차원에서 이루어지고 있다. 본 연구는 이중 소상공인시장진흥공단이 지원하는 제도 중 자금지원제도, 교육지원제도, 컨설팅지원제도가 소상공인의 경영성과에 미치는 영향에 관한 연구이다. 소상공인 지원제도와 경영성과 간의 영향을 검증하기 위해 2013년 1월부터 2015년 10월 까지 위의 세 분야에 포함되는 소상공인 지원제도를 이용한 경남지역 내 소상공인 272명을 대상으로 온라인 설문조사를 통한 소상공인 지원제도와 경영성과 간의 유의적인 관계를 조사하였다. 또한, 각 지원제도별 이용 빈도, 이용 후 만족도 등을 조사하였으며, 추가적으로 각 지원제도를 이용하는 소상공인들의 특성을 창업동기, 창업형태, 아이템, 업종 경력, 종업원 수, 매출액 및 인구통계학적 측면에서 분석하였다. 분석결과, 자금지원제도와 컨설팅지원제도는 소상공인 지원제도를 이용한 경우에 경영성과가 높게 나타났다. 그러나 교육지원제도는 해당 제도를 이용하지 않은 경우 경영성과가 높은 것으로 나타났다. 이를 검증하기 위해, 교육지원제도를 이용한 대상자들을 분석, 교육지원제도와 경영성과는 운영경력과 유의성이 있음을 확인할 수 있어 성장 단계별 지원이 이루어져야 함을 시사하고 있다. 본 연구는 창업 시장에 진입한 소상공인 및 정책 입안 담당자에게 도움이 되고자 수행하였으며, 향후 본 연구를 수행하며 도출한 결과 및 한계점을 분석하여 차기 연구를 수행하는데 중요한 참고사항으로 활용하고자 한다.
