Abstract

In this study, a firm's internationalization level was measured as the ratio of foreign sales to total sales (FSTS) of individual firms. A demonstration was conducted with several control variables that affect the persistence of the firm's profits using the Sloan (1996) model as a proxy for its primary relationship between net profit and the next profit. An empirical analysis of the end-December settlement firms listed on the securities market from 2011 to 2016 was conducted using a fixed-effect model to confirm that the persistence of the firm's internationalization and accounting profits was positive at the 1% significant level, indicating that the persistence of the firm's profits also increased as the level of individual firm's internationalization increased. In addition, the firm size, financial soundness, cash accompanying, growth, and investment ability, consistent with forecasts, represented a statistically significant (+) relationship with globalization. These results suggest that firms can maintain and expand their value stably by securing new overseas markets and promoting growth by implementing internationalization strategies.

본 연구에서는 기업의 국제화 수준을 개별 기업의 매출액 대비 해외매출비중(FSTS)으로 측정하고 Sloan(1996)의 모형을 활용 당기순이익과 차기순이익 간의 1차 자기상관관계를 회계이익 지속성의 대용치로 사용하여 기업의 이익지속성에 영향을 미치는 다수의 통제변수들과 함께 실증분석을 실시하였다. 2011년부터 2016년까지 유가증권 시장에 상장된 12월 말 결산법인을 대상으로 고정효과모형을 이용하여 실증분석을 실시한 결과, 기업의 국제화와 회계이익의 지속성은 1% 유의수준에서 양(+)의 효과를 나타내어 개별 기업의 국제화 수준이 증가할수록 기업의 이익 지속성 또한 증가하는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다. 또한 기업규모, 재무건전성, 현금 수반성, 성장성, 투자성은 예측과 일치하게 국제화와 통계적으로 유의한 양(+)의 관계를 나타내어 이들이 기업 이익의 지속성을 증진하는데 중요한 보완적 요인임을 검증하였다. 이는 기업의 규모가 크고 재무건전성 및 현금 수반성이 우수할수록, 성장기회와 투자성향이 높을수록 기업의 이익지속성이 증가함을 의미하여 기존 선행연구들의 결과와도 일치하였다. 이러한 결과는 기업이 국제화 전략 추진을 통해 새로운 해외 시장을 확보하고 성장을 도모함으로서 기업 가치를 안정적으로 유지·확장시킬 수 있음을 시사한다.
