Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze the effects of the collective characteristics of SMEs on M&A activity on the disclosure effect of mergers and long-term business performance after mergers. From 2000 to 2012, we examine 717 cases of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) using multiple regression analysis and difference analysis. The results of this study are as follows. First, it is confirmed that the effect on the merger announcement effect is the same as the previous study on the Korean capital market listed companies except for the effect of diversification, listing effect, and cross-border effect. In addition, we have found that firms with higher performance in the past have higher excess returns in the disclosure effect of mergers and acquisitions. Second, unlike the previous studies that non-related mergers have a positive effect on long-term operating performance, for the characteristics of SMEs with lower market competitiveness than that of average listed companies, SMEs merging with same industry group companies have a positive effect on long-term operating performance. This study provides a new perspective on the merger and acquisition of SMEs by examining the effects of M&A announcement and long-term performance.

본 연구는 중소기업이 M&A를 할 때 중소기업의 집단적 특성이 합병의 공시효과와 합병 이후 장기영업성과에 미치는 영향을 분석하고자 2000년부터 2012년까지 우리 나라의 인수합병 사건 중 코스닥시장에서 중소기업법 제2조와 동법 시행령 제3조의 규정을 적용하여 선정한 중소기업의 사례 717개 사건을 표본으로 사건연구 및 영업현금흐름수익률을 영업성과변수로 하는 다중회귀분석을 실시하였다. 그 결과 첫째, 합병공시효과에 미치는 영향에 있어서는 기존의 한국자본시장을 대상으로 한 선행연구와 동일하게 중소기업 인수합병 사건에서도 규모효과가 존재함을 확인하였으나 다각화효과, 상장효과, 국제간인수합병효과는 확인하지 못하였다. 그리고 일반적 기업을 대상으로 한 선행연구 결과와는 다르게, 중소기업은 인수합병의 공시효과에 있어서 과거의 생산효율성이 높아 과거의 영업성과가 높은 기업들이 더 높은 초과수익률을 올리고 있음을 확인하였다. 둘째, 인수합병의 집단적 특성에 따른 영업성과에 미치는 영향은 비관련합병이 장기영업성과에 긍정적인 영향을 미친다는 기존의 선행연구와는 다르게, 평균적인 상장기업에 비해 열위의 시장경쟁력을 가지고 있는 중소기업의 특성상 동종기업과 관련합병을 할 때 생산의 효율성을 극대화하여 장기 영업성과에 긍정적인 영향을 미치고 있음을 확인하였다. 이러한 본 연구는 대기업의 산유물로만 여겨져 왔던 인수합병의 사례를 중소기업에 적용하여 인수합병의 공시효과와 집단적 특성에 따른 장기 영업성과에 미치는 영향을 살펴봄으로써 중소기업 인수합병 사건 연구에 새로운 시각을 제공하였다는 데에 큰 의미를 가지고 있다.
