Abstract

This study is a case study of overseas banana farms as a global agricultural startup that has hardly been attempted so far in terms of paradigm shift in the industry, beyond regional limitations. It was researched for the purpose of revealing the success factors of 'global agricultural startup' in terms of business process, entrepreneurship, and management dimensions learned through direct participation and observation at the local level. In order to study global agricultural startups, this study also conducted a comparative analysis of global startups (global startups) and global agricultural startups(global agricultural startups). In fact, the analysis consists of 'definition', 'components', and 'success factors', and we want to confirm the difference between the two concepts that can be distinguished. The case analysis tried to maximize the advantages of 'participatory action research' by directly observing and experiencing banana farms. In the case of banana farm cases, by dividing them into preparation process for farm development and farm development and management process, various variables considered in farm management were explained through the whole process of farm management. Through the process of overcoming and responding to specific failure cases, we tried to secure the reliability and validity of the research, and the case studies related to entrepreneurship, management, and organization analyzed by applying them by subdividing them into theoretical areas belonging to components and management that were theorized in existing preceding studies. This study is almost the first study on the process of creating a local entry business by directly moving the head office overseas rather than entering overseas agriculture as a subsidiary, joint venture or overseas corporation. In particular, it is a unique case that corresponds to agriculture in terms of region(Africa), scale(startup), and industry that have not been introduced so far as a global agricultural startup. In terms of entrepreneurship, it also concretely exemplified how entrepreneurship components such as innovativeness, risk-taking propensity, proactiveness, vision sharing, social contribution, leadership, etc., which have not been attempted so far in agricultural cases, are manifested and effective. The management and cultural aspects also went beyond the argument that only cultural aspects are important in overseas business, and also confirmed individual failure cases and their responses in recruitment, job, wage, retirement, development, organizational structure management, etc. As a result, there is significance and implications of this study in that it provides theoretical confirmation as well as practical and responsive basis for 'entrepreneurship', 'farming management', and 'management' aspects in overseas agricultural startup business operation.

본 연구는 해외 바나나 농장(Farm) 사례연구로서 지역적 한계를 벗어나, 업종에 대한 패러다임 변화측면에서 지금까지 거의 시도되지 못했던 글로벌농업스타트업을 대상으로 하였다. 현지에서 직접 참여·관찰하고 학습된 사업화 과정과 기업가정신, 경영관리 차원에서 '글로벌 농업스타트업' 성공요인을 밝히기 위한 목적으로 연구되었다. 글로벌농업스타트업을 연구하기 위해 글로벌스타트업(Global Startup)과 글로벌농업스타트업(Global Agricultural Startup)에 대한 비교 분석 또한 시도하였다. 실제 분석은 '정의', '구성요소', '성공요인'으로 이루어졌고, 구분 가능한 두개념의 차이를 확인하고자 하였다. 사례분석은 바나나 농장(Farm)을 직접 관찰·경험하는 참여행동연구(Participatory Action Research)의 장점을 최대한 살리고자 하였다. 바나나 농장 사례의 경우 농장개발을 위한 준비과정과 농장개발 및 관리과정으로 구분함으로써 농장관리의 전과정을 통한 방법론과 고려되어지는 다양한 변수까지도 설명하였다. 구체적인 실패사례를 극복하고 대응하는 과정을 통해 연구의 신뢰성과 타당성을 확보하고자 하였으며, 기업가정신과 경영관리 및 조직 관련 사례연구는 기존 선행연구에서 이론화되었던 구성요소와 경영관리에 속하는 이론적 분야들을 세분화해 적용하여 분석하였다. 본 연구는 해외농업 진출 시 자회사나 합작 또는 해외법인 형태로서 진출이 아닌 본사를 해외로 직접 이전하여 현지진출 사업을 일으키는 과정에 대한 거의 최초의 연구이다. 특히 지금까지 소개되지 않았던 글로벌농업스타트업으로서 지역적으로는 아프리카, 규모로는 스타트업, 업종은 농업에 해당하는 특이한 사례이다. 기업가정신(Entrepreneurship)에 있어서도 지금까지 시도되지 않았던 농업사례에서 기업가 정신 구성요소인 혁신성, 위험감수성, 진취성, 비전공유, 사회적기여, 리더십 등이 어떻게 발현되고 효과가 나타나는지도 구체적으로 사례화 했다. 경영관리 및 문화적 측면도 해외사업에서 단지 문화적 측면이 중요하다는 주장에서 더 나아가 채용·직무·임금·퇴직·개발·조직 구조 관리 등에서도 개별 실패사례와 이의 대응사례를 같이 확인하였다. 그 결과, 해외 농업스타트업 기업운영에서 '기업가정신', '영농관리', '경영관리' 측면에 대한 이론적 확인과 더불어 실무적, 대응적 토대를 제시했다는 점에 연구의 의의와 시사점이 존재한다.
