Abstract

For the national economic development, the participation of women in the social and economic activities is crucial. The popularization of start-ups, digital transformation, and WEconomy trends have lowered the barriers to opportunities for women to start a business and provide an environment in which women can grow faster. This paper examines the significance and process of success of women entrepreneurs and the characteristics of innovation strategies and achievements by linking the recently changing business environment of a company, factors influencing the success of women entrepreneurship, and innovation activities. To this end, four companies' cases were analyzed in the fields of distribution/service and consumer products/services, which are areas of large investment among female startups. The result shows that women entrepreneurs recognize the meaning of success as creating and continuing to create a 'corporate value through establishing a trust relationship with customers' within the 'balance between personal life and work.' In terms of the business ecosystem, women entrepreneurs strive for 'business activities based on the win-win growth of consumers, producers and sellers' for success, and rather 'focus on the process with a problem-solving approach' rather than achieving performance-oriented goals. Also through excellent power of observation, flexibility, and execution power, women entrepreneurs conduct business by adapting to changing trends. In terms of innovation activities, the innovation strategy of women-led companies puts priority on 'creating the value customers want' and focuses on innovation in the 'customer-centric business model' rather than technological innovation. As such, women-led companies show several differentiated characteristics, which enable them to create corporate value and achieve sustainable growth. The barriers to challenges and opportunities for women to start a business have been lowered, and an ecosystem has been created for female startups to grow. But why are there still so few women entrepreneurs, and the answer to where we need to close these gaps is ultimately a close analysis and investigation of the field. We must present milestones for growth steps through the accumulation of case studies of women startups that have exited. In addition, women can stand as economic agents only when the policy targets are subdivided and specific approaches to child-rearing and childcare for women entrepreneurs must be taken. This paper expects to serve as basic data for follow-up studies and become the basis of research for women entrepreneurs to grow as economic agents.

여성의 사회 및 경제 활동 참여가 국가 발전에 중요한 요소로 인식되고 있다. 창업 대중화, 디지털 전환, 위코노미 트렌드는 여성이 창업에 도전할 수 있는 기회의 장벽을 낮추었으며 여성기업이 보다 빠르게 성장할 수 있는 환경을 제공하고 있다. 본 연구는 최근에 변화하고 있는 기업의 경영 환경, 여성 창업의 성공 영향요인, 혁신활동을 연계하여 여성 창업가의 성공 의미와 과정, 혁신전략과 성과의 특징을 살펴보는 것이다. 이를 위해 여성 스타트업 중 투자가 큰 분야인 유통/서비스와 소비자 제품/서비스 분야의 4개 기업을 대상으로 사례를 분석하였다. 그 결과, 여성 창업가는 성공의 의미를 '개인의 삶과 일의 균형' 안에서 '고객과의 신뢰 관계 확립을 통해 기업의 가치' 를 만들어 이를 지속하는 것으로 인식한다. 비즈니스 생태계 측면에서 여성 창업가는 '소비자-생산자-판매자의 상생에 기반을 둔 기업 활동' 에 노력하며 성과 중심의 목표 달성보다는 '문제해결 접근 방식으로 과정에 집중' 한다. 또한 섬세한 관찰력과 유연성, 실행력을 통해 '변화하는 트렌드에 적응' 하고 있다. 혁신활동 측면에서 여성기업의 혁신전략은 '고객에 기반한 가치 창출' 을 우선으로 하며 기술혁신보다 '고객중심의 비즈니스 모델' 혁신에 집중하고 있다. 이를 통해 여성기업은 이윤창출의 양적 성장을 중요시 하는 일반기업과 차별화된 몇 가지의 특징을 보이며 '기업의 가치 창출과 지속 성장' 을 얻는 것으로 나타났다. 여성이 창업하기 위한 도전과 기회의 장벽은 낮추어졌고 여성 스타트업이 성장할 수 있는 생태계는 마련되었다. 그러나 아직까지 여성 창업가가 적은 이유는 무엇이며 이러한 갭(gap)을 어디서 메꾸고 접근해야 하는지에 대한 답은 결국 현장의 면밀한 조사와 분석에 있다. 엑싯(Exit)한 여성 스타트업의 사례 축적을 통해 성장 단계별 마일스톤 제시와 여성의 육아와 보육을 고려한 정책대상 세분화도 이루어져야 한다. 본 연구의 결과가 후속연구의 기초자료가 되어 여성 창업가가 경제 주체로서 성장할 수 있는 연구 기반이 되기를 기대한다.
