Abstract

The purpose of this study is to survey startup founders within 7 years of founding the importance and satisfaction of the components of the scale-up entrepreneurial ecosystem at the national level in Korea and analyze the direction of scale-up policy by component using IPA (importance-performance analysis). Since the perception of founders, who are the subjects of the entrepreneurial ecosystem, affects the quantity and quality of start-ups, research is needed to analyze and diagnose the perception of scale-up components. For the development of the national economy and entrepreneurial ecosystem, companies that emerge from startups to scale-up and unicorns must be produced, and for this, elements for the scale-up entrepreneurial ecosystem are needed. The results of this study are as follows. First, the importance ranking of the components of the scale-up entrepreneurial ecosystem recognized by founders was in the order of "Financial support by growth stage," "Support for customized scale-up for enterprises," "Improvement of regulations," "Funds dedicated to scale-up," "large-scale investment," and "nurturing technical talents." Second, the factors that should be intensively improved in the importance-satisfaction matrix in the future were 'Pan-Government Integration Promotion Plan', 'Scale-Up Specialized Organization Operation', 'Company Customized Scale-Up Support', 'Regulatory Improvement', and 'Building a Korean Scale-Up Model'. As a result, various and large financial capital for the scale-up entrepreneurial ecosystem, diversification of scale-up programs by business sector, linkage of start-ups and scale-up support, deregulation of new technologies and new industries, strengthening corporate-tailored scale-up growth capabilities, and providing overseas networking opportunities can be derived. In addition, it is expected to contribute to policy practice and academic work with research that derives the components of the domestic scale-up entrepreneurial ecosystem and diagnoses its perception.

본 연구는 우리나라 국가 수준에서 스케일업 창업생태계의 구성요소에 대한 중요도와 만족도(현재 수준)를 창업 후 7년 이내의 스타트업 창업자들을 대상으로 설문을 실시하고 구성요소별 스케일업 정책 방향을 IPA(importance-performance analysis) 분석을 활용하여 분석하는 데 목적이 있다. 창업생태계의 주체자인 창업자들의 인식은 창업의 양과 질에 영향을 주기 때문에 스케일업 구성요소에 대한 인식을 분석 하고 진단해 보는 연구가 필요하다. 국가 경제와 창업생태계의 발전을 위해서는 스타트업에서 스케일업, 유니콘으로 부상하는 기업들이 배출되어야 하고 이를 위해서는 스케일업 창업생태계를 위한 요소들이 필요하다. 본 연구의 주요 연구 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 창업자들이 인식하는 스케일업 창업생태계 구성요소의 중요도 순위는 '성장단계별 자금 지원', '기업 맞춤형 스케일업 지원', '규제 개선', '스케일업 전용 펀드', '투자 대형화', '기술 인재 육성'순으로 나타났다. 둘째, 중요도-만족도 매트릭스에서 향후 집중적으로 개선해야 하는 요인은 '범정부 통합 추진 계획', '스케일업 전문 조직 운영', '기업 맞춤형 스케일업 지원', '규제 개선', '한국 스케일업 모델 구축'으로 나타났다. 이에 따라, 스케일업 창업생태계를 위해 다양하고 대형화된 금융자본, 사업 분야별 스케일업 프로그램의 다양화, 스타트업과 스케일업 지원의 연계, 신기술 및 신산업 분야의 규제 완화, 기업 맞춤형의 스케일업 성장 역량 강화, 해외 네트워킹 기회 제공 등을 시사점으로 도출할 수 있다. 또한 국내 스케일업 창업생태계 구성요소를 도출하고 이에 대한 인식을 진단한 연구로 정책 실무와 학술적으로 기여할 것으로 본다.
