창업도약기업들의 특성을 살펴보면 창업초기상태를 계속적으로 벗어나지 못하고 있는 기업들이 상당히 차지하고 있음을 볼 수 있다, 이에 따라 정부에서는 성장의 동력을 제공하고 이를 기반으로 창업도약기업들의 성장을 촉진코자 노력을 하고 있다. 초기기업이 자신이 보유한 기술역량 중심으로 제품 및 솔루션 개발 후, 시장(고객)에 출시했지만 잘 안 팔릴 결과이고, 초기기업들이 지속적인 사업성장(성공사업)을 하게하기 위해 매력적인 목표고객이나 시장이 원하는 목소리를 반영하고, 이에 부합하는 자사의 핵심기술역량을 파악 및 확보하게 하여 경쟁자와는 차별적인 제품을 개발할 수 있는 역량과 플랫폼 제공이 필요할 수 있도록 설계한 제품개선훈련프로그램을 개발하고 운영하였다. 본 연구는 운영된 제품개발/개선 훈련프로그램의 효과성을 파악하기 위해서 참여자의 특성과 훈련프로그램의 특성에 따른 훈련프로그램의 전반적 만족도를 통해 현업적용의지와의 관계를 살펴보았다. 설문조사 대상은 2018년 1월에 창업도약패키지 후속지원사업인 제품개선 아카데미 참여자중 203개 기업을 대상으로 실시하였다. 분석결과 창업도약기업의 매출신장을 위해 참여자의 특성과 훈련프로그램의 품질은 프로그램의 전반적 만족도에 영향을 미치고 이를 기반으로 현업적용의지가 높아짐을 확인하였다. 또한 참여자특성과 훈련프로그램의 품질은 현업적용의지에 프로그램의 전반적 만족도를 매개로 효과가 있음에 따라 프로그램의 전반적 만족도를 높일 수 있도록 참여자들의 학습 동기와 코치들의 지원이 필요함도 함께 확인하였다.
