우리나라의 신생기업은 5년 후 생존율이 29.6%로 낮아진다. 이는 초기의 창업기업들이 중견기업에 비해 자원이 풍부하지 못하기 때문에 생존율이 낮다고 볼 수 있다. 따라서 창업기업의 마케팅특성이 주요 원인으로 부각되고 있다. 이번 연구에서는 학습지향성, 마케팅경험, 경쟁지향성 등은 창업기업에 따라 다르게 소유하고 있으며, 특히 창업기업의 경우 마케팅전략에 미치는 영향은 다르게 조사될 수 있다고 판단되어 학습지향성, 마케팅경험, 경쟁지향성이 창업기업의 마케팅전략에 미치는 관계를 검정하였다. 이를 바탕으로 기업성과를 측정하여 창업기업의 대표자들에게 창업기업의 생태계에 관련된 내용을 시사하고자 하는데 목적을 두었다. 본 연구의 표본은 2015년도를 기준으로 창업한지 3년 6개월 이내의 창업기업가들을 대상으로 2015년 11월 20일부터 12월 20일까지 창업 기업 종사자 250명을 대상으로 조사를 실시하였다. 이를 데이터클리닝 한 결과 207개의 표본을 대상으로 SPSS 20.0 통계프로그램을 이용하여 빈도분석, 신뢰도분석, 상관관계분석 및 회귀분석을 실시하여 다음과 같은 결론을 도출하였다. 독립변수인 창업기업의 마케팅환경이 매개변수인 마케팅전략에 미치는 영향은 학습지향성, 마케팅경험, 경쟁지향성에 있어 제품전략, 유통 전략, 촉진전략에 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며, 매개변수인 마케팅전략이 종속변수인 기업성과에 미치는 영향에 대해 제품전략, 유통전략, 촉진전략은 재무성과와 비재무성과에 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 조사되었다. 또한 마케팅전략의 매개효과는 학습지향성, 마케팅경험, 경쟁지향성이 재무성과에 미치는 영향에 있어서 제품전략과 유통전략이 확실한 매개효과를 보이는 것으로 조사되었으며, 학습 지향성과 마케팅경험, 경쟁지향성이 비재무성과에 미치는 영향에 있어서 제품전략만이 매개효과를 보이는 것으로 조사되었다. 연구결과의 요약을 종합해보면 창업기업이 기업의 성과를 높이기 위해서 마케팅전략을 펼쳐야 하는데 특히 학습지향성과 마케팅경험이 중요시되며 창업마케팅특성이 기업성과를 높이는데 있어서 제품전략과 유통전략이 재무성과를 높일 수 있다. 그리고 제품전략은 재무성과와 비재무성과를 높인다고 볼 수 있다. 이에 창업기업 마케팅특성을 수행하는데 있어서 기업의 성과를 높이기 위해 창업마케팅특성에 따른 마케팅전략을 펼치는 것이 바람직하다고 사료된다.
