The creation of academic start-up firms is an important and practical issue in the management of technology in Japan. The present study designs a model for creating academic start-up firms that fits into the social context. It focuses on the case of FIRST Program, an initiative that consists of 30 projects in innovative arenas, analyses the presence of large-scale public funding, and investigates the role of venture capitalists as support personnel in each project. As a result, the presence and significance of 'long-term escort' by an 'entrepreneurial venture capitalist (EP-VCist)' were confirmed as common features across the cases observed. EP-VCist refers to a person who can maintain and fulfil dual roles at a university and a venture capital firm, and who can take the lead throughout the venturing process as a risk taker. 'Long-term escort' is a form of support that reduces risks in the venturing process by supporting university researchers in the pre-entrepreneurial stage and by exerting a robust bridging role between a university and an industry.

Established and new companies face similar business challenges in achieving performance and competitiveness. Furthermore, several empirical studies using competitive advantage resource-based view theory show that established companies achieve performance and competitiveness with breakthrough innovations. Similarly, new business ventures with limited resources must incorporate breakthrough innovations to achieve performance and competitiveness. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the impact of ambidextrous innovation on new venture performance and competitiveness. It used an online survey to collect data from 178 newly established shipping agency companies in 22 provinces in Indonesia. Data was analyzed using multivariate analysis with WarpPLS 7.0, where the analysis unit was an organization represented by a director. The results showed that ambidextrous innovation positively and significantly affects firm performance and new venture competitiveness. This means that ambidextrous innovation that emphasizes adaptation and development improves the firm's internal business processes, even with limited resources. Moreover, it increases new ventures' competitiveness in responding to threats and taking advantage of market opportunities. These results contribute to the competitive advantage resource-based view theory, specifically for new venture empirical examination. Also, they contribute to practical implications in the transportation business, demonstrating that exploitative breakthrough innovation can improve new venture competitiveness and performance.

Recently, the government has been pursuing various policies to create new industries and jobs through the invigoration of start-ups. For the sustained growth of start-ups, it is necessary to look not only at the supply of risk capital but also at policies for venture capital firms that nurture and foster start-ups. The purpose of this study is to estimate the effects of the nurturing and fostering role of risk capital, such as mentorship on the performance of start-ups, and to do this we analyzed the effects, as a newly introduced form of venture capital, of mentoring by an accelerator and investor ties on the performance outcomes of start-ups. We find that mentoring and investor ties for start-up enterprises positively influence follow-up investment in start-ups. In addition, this study finds that with a younger CEO of a start-up, it is more likely that the performance of the start-up will improve. Meanwhile, when examining increases in employment as a measure of the business performance of start-ups, mentoring and investor ties are found to have a positive effect on the increase of employment at start-ups. These results suggest that there is a need to promote policies that strengthen the mentoring role of venture capital in Korea's equity finance policies and in the government's SME support policies.

본 연구는 기술보증기금이 자체적으로 기술평가를 거쳐 운전자금보증을 지원한 3,462개 벤처 이노비즈기업의 현장데이터에 근거하여 기업에 내재된 4가지 VRIO 속성, 즉 기술혁신의 가치 (Value)와 희소성 (Rarity), 모방가능성 (Imitability) 및 조직 (Organization)이라는 내부자원과 역량이 어떻게 기술적 경쟁우위를 확보해 나가고, 나아가 기술적 경쟁우위는 최종적으로 경제적 경쟁우위에 어떻게 영향을 미치게 되는지를 실증적으로 규명하였다. 기술혁신을 기반으로 하는 표본기업은 기술경영전략 (Value), 기술의 차별성 (Rarity), 기술모방 난이도 (Imitability) 및 기술조직역량(Organization) 등 4개요인의 내부자원과 역량을 통하여 1단계로 지식재산권을 확충하고 기술개발 및 신제품의 상용화가 활발하게 이루어지는 등 기술적 경쟁우위를 확보하게 되며, 나아가 기업의 매출액 증가 및 영업수익 확대뿐만 아니라 기업 전반의 재무건전성이 향상되는 등 가시적인 경영성과를 시현하기 까지 각 단계별로 정(+)의 영향을 주는 것으로 확인되어 연구가설이 지지되었다. 특히, VRIO 특성 중 경쟁기업이 모방하기 어려운 독창적 기술을 보유하거나 기술조직의 역량 확충 등 인프라를 잘 갖춘 경우 여타 기술관련 속성들 보다 기술적 경제적 경쟁우위를 확보하는데 상대적으로 더 큰 영향력을 미치는 것으로 확인되었다.

A new business venture faces intense competition in a dynamic environment. To survive, new business ventures and established companies both need to generate creativity and significant new ventures to be highly competitive and have high levels of performance. In this study, we examined new business ventures that determined their competitiveness and performance generated from entrepreneurial creativity and mediated by ambidextrous innovation. This research used survey data collected from 143 Indonesian's new business shipping agencies, which was collected using an online survey and analyzed through structural equation modeling. The results showed that entrepreneurial creativity in new business ventures is positively associated with competitive advantage but not significant to create a competitive advantage. In contrast, entrepreneurial creativity is positively associated with firm performance. This result indicates that efforts to generate entrepreneurial creativity are not sufficient to create a competitive advantage despite having a significant influence on firm performance. However, entrepreneurial creativity is significantly and positively associated with firm performance and competitive advantage when mediated by ambidextrous innovation. The findings of this study suggest that the competitive advantage of a new business venture in facing intense competition in a dynamic environment condition can be overcome by generating strategic action in the form of entrepreneurial creativity and ambidextrous innovation.

본 연구는 유사한 혹은 동일한 산업에 속해 있는 두 기업이 공동사업(joint venture)을 수행하는 과정에서 이익을 분배하는 메카니즘을 분석한다. 두 기업이 동의할 수 있는 '공정한' 이익분배와 함께 자원배분의 효율성을 달성할 수 있는 의사결정구조를 모색한다. 공동사업은 한 기업이 설비를 제공하고, 다른 기업이 제품을 생산하고 판매하는 형태로 진행되는 경우를 상정하고 있다. 본 연구의 분석결과는 공동사업의 의사결정 구조를 적절히 고안하면 사회적 효율성을 충족하는 균형에 도달할 수 있음을 시사한다. 동일 기업집단 내의 공동사업과 같이 이익분배(이전가격)가 사전에 정해져 기업들의 사적 유인이 통제될 수 있는 상황 뿐 아니라, 독립적 기업들의 공동사업에서도 판매기업이 단독으로 이전가격을 결정하는 구조를 배제하면 효율적인 결과를 낳을 수 있음을 보인다.

2020년 12월, 한국의 금산분리 원칙과 관련한 공정거래법이 개정되고 이를 1년 뒤인 2021년 12월 30일부터 시행한다는 정부의 발표가 있었다. 개정의 내용은 과거 금산분리의 대원칙이었던 산업자본의 금융시장 침투 금지 기조를 깨고 '일반지주회사의 중소기업창업투자회사와 신기술사업금융전문회사 주식의 소유 가능'이었다. 이 개정 법의 전제는 발행주식 총수의 소유이었지만, 법 개정 전후로 CVC(Corporate Venture Capital; 기업주도형 벤처캐피탈)의 연간 설립 건수와 투자 건수, 전략적 투자 건수 등의 추이에 변동이 있었다. CVC와 IVC(Independent Venture Capital; 독립 벤처캐피탈)는 투자 목적, 펀드 운용 유형, 투자 유형에 따라 그 특징이 구분되는데, 이 부분에서 금산분리법의 완화는 향후 벤처투자생태계와 혁신생태계의 활성화에 긍정적인 영향을 줄 수 있다고 기대된다. 본 연구에서는 법 개정 전인 2018년부터 법 개정 이후 2023년 5월까지 국내 CVC의 설립 건수, 투자 건수, 전략적 투자건수의 추이를 분석하여, 개정 금산분리법이 시행되었던 2021년을 기준으로 추이의 변화를 살펴보았다. 분석의 결과, 국내 CVC는 2021년에 전년대비 큰 폭으로 증가했으며, 투자건수와 전략적 투자건수, 전략적 투자의 투자금액 또한 과거에 비해 증가했음을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 연구는 이러한 결과를 토대로 향후 국내 CVC 투자와 전략적 투자, 벤처투자시장 활성화 등과 관련한 추가적인 연구의 방향을 제시한다.
