Abstract

This study was proceeded to empirically identify the start-up support policy as an element that affects the performance of the early start-ups and measure the effectiveness of the current start-up support policy, in order to suggest the direction future policies according to the study. To accomplish this the influence of the start-up support policy on the early start-ups was analyzed, and the differences according to the industry and growth stage of the start-ups, as the characteristics of the start-ups, were identified. The research subjects collected real data of 297 start-ups of the past three years that were selected for the Initial Start-Up Package project, and performed multiple regression analysis on the influence between variables, and hierarchical regression analysis on moderating effects. The summary of the study is as follows. First, as a result of identifying the influential relationship between the start-up support policy and the performance of the start-up, sales had made a significant impact on the start-up fund, start-up mentoring, and start-up infrastructure(space), while start-up education failed to show a significant effect on the increase in sales. In terms of employment, start-up mentoring was the only field that showed a significant influential relationship. Second, as a result of identifying the moderating effect of the start-up's industry and growth stage, the industry did not have a statistically significant influence, but the interactive effect was seen in start-up education. To be more specific in terms of the sales relationship of each industry, knowledge services turned out to be helpful in improving sales, while manufacturing turned out to be effective in improving sales regardless of being supported with start-up mentoring and start-up infrastructure (space). The sales relationship regarding the start-up growth stage was identified to be statistically significant. The preliminary stage was not statistically significant, while providing start-up mentoring and start-up funding were effective for start-up stage and growing stage, respectively. On the other hand, employment did not perform a significant influence on the start-up growth stage. This study analyzes the effectiveness the start-up support policy for early start-ups, identifies the need in differentiated support policies according to the characteristics of the start-ups, and suggests implications for the direction in which future policies should be made towards.

본 연구는 초기 창업기업 성과에 영향을 미치는 요인으로 창업지원정책을 실증적으로 규명하고, 현재의 창업지원정책에 대한 효과성을 측정하여, 이를 토대로 향후 정책적 방향을 제시하기 위한 것이다. 이를 위해 창업지원정책이 초기 창업기업의 성과에 미치는 영향에 대해 분석하고, 창업기업의 특성으로 창업업종 및 창업성장단계에 따라 어떠한 차이점이 있는지 확인하였다. 연구대상은 초기창업패키지 사업에 선정된 최근 3년간 창업기업 297개의 실제 테이터를 수집하여, 변수 간 영향력은 다중회귀분석, 조절효과는 위계적 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 연구결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 창업지원정책과 창업성과의 영향 관계 확인 결과, 매출은 창업자금, 창업멘토링, 창업인프라(공간) 모두 유의한 영향을 보였으며, 반면 창업교육은 매출증가에 유의한 영향을 미치지 못하였다. 고용은 창업멘토링만이 유의한 영향 관계임을 확인하였다. 둘째, 창업업종과 창업성장단계의 조절효과 확인 결과, 창업업종은 통계적으로 유의한 영향력을 미치지 못하였으나, 상호작용 효과는 창업교육에서 유의하게 나타났다. 구체적으로 업종별 매출 관계는 지식서비스는 창업교육이 매출향상에 도움을 주며, 제조는 창업멘토링과 창업인프라(공간) 지원 여부와 관계없이 모두 매출향상에 효과적인 것으로 나타났다. 창업성장단계별 매출 관계는 통계적으로 유의한 영향력을 확인하였다. 예비단계는 통계적으로 유의하지 않으며, 창업단계는 창업멘토링 지원, 성장단계는 창업자금 지원이 효과적인 것으로 확인되었다. 반면 고용은 창업성장단계에 따라 유의한 영향력을 미치지 못하였다. 본 연구는 초기 창업기업 대상 창업지원정책의 효과성을 분석하여, 창업기업 특성에 따른 차별적 정책지원의 필요성을 확인하고, 향후 정책적 방향에 대한 시사점을 제시하였다.
