Abstract

Korea is a country having shortage of natural resources, but to overcome this issue and to nurture national competitiveness it is challenging for national-lead economic policy, citizen's dedicated efforts and technological innovation for achieving economic growth. Since the financial crisis, the government has boldly promoted policies to nurture venture companies to make structural adjustments for the sophistication of the industrial structure and job creation. Various policies for establishing the foundation of the entrepreneurial ecosystem in which the process of start-up, growth, recovery and reinvest are virtually circulated are presented by the Business Incubators. Recently the Business Incubators neither present a direction differentiated from the vocation of Business Incubator, and nor the operating methods for leading the changing of Business Incubator environment, which threatening the role of Incubating and growing early startup companies. In order to explore the development change of the business incubator, in this research we analyzed the published papers from 1998 to 2016 of business incubator government polices, research methods, related research topics and other major variables. The analysis of the research trends of business incubator revealed the lack of depth case studies, diversity of research topics, and the study of certain limited variables. For the development of the business incubator, case studies of the institutions which carried out excellent incubator and research on the incubation system of the institutions, that are similar to the incubation center are required. This research suggest further research on the case studies of excellent business incubator and agencies, and the center director and manager, which is the center of human resources, and hopes for the revitalization of business incubator researches.

우리나라는 천연자원이 부족한 대표적인 자원부족 국가이지만 이를 극복하고 국가경쟁력을 키우기 위해 국가주도 경제정책, 국민의 헌신적인 노력 그리고 기술혁신으로 놀라운 경제성장을 이룩하였다. 뿐만 아니라 외환위기 이후 산업구조 고도화, 일자리 창출을 위한 구조조정을 위해 벤처기업을 육성하는 정책을 과감히 추진하였다. 창업, 성장, 회수, 재투자의 과정이 선순환 되는 창업보육생태계의 기반조성을 위한 다양한 정책이 제시되고 있으며 이러한 역할을 창업보육센터는 수행하고 있다. 최근 창업보육센터는 창업보육이라는 소명과 차별화된 방향을 제시하지 못하고 있으며 운영방식은 변화하는 창업보육환경을 선도하지 못함으로써 초창기 스타트업 기업을 보육 성장하는 역할이 위협받고 있다. 본 연구는 창업보육센터의 발전적 변화를 모색하고자 20여 년간의 창업보육센터 정부정책과 연구논문을 대상으로 연구방법, 연구주제, 주요 변인을 분석하였다. 창업보육센터 연구동향 분석으로 심층 사례연구의 부족, 연구주제의 다양성 부족 그리고 제한적 변인의 연구라는 문제점이 나타났으며, 창업보육센터의 발전을 위해 우수 창업보육을 수행하고 있는 기관의 사례연구와 창업보육센터와 유사한 역할을 수행하고 있는 기관의 창업보육 시스템에 관한 연구가 요구된다. 본 연구는 우수 창업보육센터와 기관의 사례연구, 그리고 인적자원의 중심인 센터장과 매니저에 관해서는 추후 연구과제로 남기며, 창업보육센터 연구의 활성화를 기대해 본다.
