초록

스타트업의 불확실성과 위험한 특성에도 불구하고 이들에게 전문적인 보육과 투자를 실행하는 액셀러레이터의 독특하고 중요한 역할은 창업생태계에서 날로 중요해지고 있다. 그러나 액셀러레이터의 생존에 지대한 영향을 미치는 투자결정요인에 대한 학계의 연구는 초기 단계로 소수의 실증연구가 진행되었으나 아직 이론적인 토대를 갖추지 못한 상황이다. 이에 본 연구는 액셀러레이터의 투자 대상이 되는 스타트업의 본질과 속성을 반영하고 있는 비즈니스 모델 혁신 이론을 기반으로 비즈니스 모델 혁신 프레임워크를 제시하고 12개의 투자결정요인을 도출한다. 프레임워크는 스타트업의 혁신의 대상과 방향 그리고 동력을 비즈니스 모델과 전략, 동적역량으로 각각 정의하였고, 비즈니스 모델 혁신 프레임워크를 기준으로 기존의 액셀러레이터의 투자결정요인에 대해 논의하였다. 연구결과는 첫째, 비즈니스 모델 혁신의 정적관점에서 대부분 항목이 충실히 구성되었으나 활동성을 평가하는 핵심활동과 고객관계와 관련된 요인이 부족한 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 전략관점에서는 내부전략 요인인 핵심자원의 정의와 내용을 포괄할 수 있는 요인개발의 필요성이 제기되었다. 셋째, 동적관점에서 액셀러레이터의 투자결정요인의 상당수가 기본 수준의 동적역량에 집중 된 것을 발견하였다. 이는 적은 자원과 소수의 인원으로 솔루션을 개발해야 하는 스타트업의 특성을 반영한 결과로 판단할 수 있다. 본 연구는 비즈니스 모델 혁신 프레임워크를 제시하고, 프레임워크를 기반으로 액셀러레이터의 투자결정요인을 도출함으로써 투자결정요인에 대한 이론적 기반을 마련하고 후속 연구의 기초를 놓았다는 점에 학문적 의의가 있다. 또한 본 연구를 통해 제시된 비즈니스 모델 혁신 프레임워크는 스타트업, 액셀러레이터, 창업지원기관의 성과 제고에 기여할 수 있다는 점에서 실무적 의의를 가진다.

Despite the uncertainty and risky factors of startups, the special and critical role of accelerators in carrying out professional nurturing and investment for them is becoming increasingly significant in the startup social-system. However, academic research on investment determinants that have a profound impact on the survival of accelerators is lacking, and there are only a few empirical studies on the classification and importance of factors, and they do not enjoy the benefits of theoretical studies. This study proposes a business model innovation framework based on the business model innovation theory that reflects the nature and properties of startups that are investment targets of accelerators and derives 12 investment decision factors. The framework defines that the target, direction, and performable force of startup innovation are a business model, strategy, and dynamic capability. Besides, the framework analyzes the investment decision factors of the existing accelerators based on the business model innovation framework to verify the suitability and sufficiency of the composition. As a result of the analysis, first, most of the items were faithfully composed from a static point of view of business model innovation, but it was found that the factors related to the core activities to evaluate the activity and customer relationship were insufficient. Second, from the strategic point of view, the necessity of developing factors that can encompass the definition and content of core resources, which are internal strategic factors, was raised. Third, from the dynamic point of view, it was found that many of the investment determinants of accelerators were concentrated on the lower level of dynamic competencies. This can be judged as a result of reflecting the characteristics of a startup that needs to develop a solution with few resources and a small number of team members. In addition, the roles and interrelationships between each factor are not clear, thus it was found as a limiting point for startups to view and evaluate the direction and process in which startups dynamically innovate their business models. This study is considerably differentiated in that it provides a business model innovation framework and offers a theoretical basis for investment determinants by deriving the investment determinants of accelerators based on the framework and design the foundation for subsequent research. The business model innovation framework presented in this study has great implications in that it contributes to the achievement of startups, accelerators, and startup support organizations.
