Abstract

On the purpose to analyze the survival rate of startup companies since their establishment, the companies' survival rate was investigated by surviving period. The average and coefficient of variation(C.V.) of the startup companies' survival rate were examined with the comparison of urban and rural areas, and primary, secondary, and tertiary industries. In this study, the variation of total numbers of new-established companies, from 1998 to 2012, were analyzed with micro-data of the Statistics Korea, 'The Census on Establishments'. The results show that the survival rate of primary industry companies largely fluctuate and don't be stabled during the whole surviving periods, whereas secondary and tertiary industry companies show stabilized survival rate after fifth year from their establishment. Especially, the startup companies of primary industry located at urban areas show the largest fluctuation and the most vulnerable stability of survival rate. It is concluded that the surviving period of primary industry companies don't guarantee their survival, while survival rate of secondary and tertiary industry company became stable after five years from their establishment.
