Family companies are the unique industry-academic cooperation-related systems of Korean universities created by universities to promote various forms of industry-academic cooperation with companies. It is important to figure out the current status of family companies in order to understand the achievements of industrial-academic cooperation projects that have been actively pursued since the early 2000s. A lot of studies on industry-academic cooperation have focused mainly on the university's position. On the contrary, this study focuses on understanding the current status of the family company system and the status of industry-academic cooperation. Introduced in 2004, the Family Company System expanded rapidly as it was used as a performance indicator for college financial support projects related to industry-academic cooperation, with 174,425 companies registered as family companies as of 2017. A survey of family companies registered in universities carrying out the LINC+ project shows that companies registered in multiple universities are increasing, with relatively high demand and satisfaction for industry-academic cooperation among companies. Family companies were found to be relatively satisfied in terms of the use of R&D equipment or joint research, while they were relatively less satisfied in terms of workforce training and retraining. While companies have assessed product quality improvements through industry-academic cooperation, they have underestimated the effect of increasing sales and reducing production costs. Further, it was found that it was urgent to expand incentive systems and improve online information services to boost corporate participation in order to enhance the effectiveness of industry-academic cooperation.

This study examines the role of family involvement and national culture in entrepreneurs' choice of mode of entry into entrepreneurship. Mode of entry consists of two choices: starting a new venture or taking over an existing firm. Specifically, we investigate how cultural values moderate the relationship between family involvement and their choice of business takeover. Using a cross-national sample of 3,831 respondents from 33 countries in Flash Eurobarometer data, we develop key variables and test our hypotheses employing hierarchical linear modelling. Our results show that the relationship between family involvement of entrepreneurs and their choice of business takeover is moderated by individualism, short term orientation, and power distance. This research contributes to understanding comparative international entrepreneurship based on national culture. Implications for policy makers and educators are discussed.

(주)SFC는 2006년에 국내 최초, 세계에서 네 번째로 태양광 모듈용 백시트를 개발하였다. 이는 우리나라가 차세대 대체에너지 시장에 큰 걸음을 디딘 사건으로 기억되고 있다. 특히 이런 획기적인 일이 대기업이 아닌 중소기업에서 이루어져 적잖게 놀라움을 주었다. 1988년 설립한 (주)SFC는 라미네이팅 필름생산에 기반을 둔 특수필름 전문생산업체이다. (SFC는 Special Film corporation의 약자이다.) 초창기 영세한 중소기업에서 현재 태양광특수필름을 생산하는 튼실한 중견기업을 거듭난데에는 특수필름을 생산하며 쌓아온 기술력과 노하우가 있었기에 가능했겠지만 무엇보다도 회사 구성원들의 열정이 큰 몫을 했다고 볼 수 있다. 또한 이런 눈부신 성장 뒤에는 항상 눈에 띄지 않는 그 무엇인가가 있게 마련인데, 이곳 임직원들은 그것이 바로 가족같은 분위기에서 나오는 '실천하는 안전'이라고 말한다. 가족같은 분위기로 안전을 실천하며 눈부신 발전을 하고 있는 (주)SFC를 찾아가 봤다.

This study is aimed to investigate the factors predicting the responses after volunteering activities among corporate volunteers. While positive responses to volunteering are conceptualized as both the degree of satisfaction from volunteering and the perceived contribution of volunteering, negative responses are conceptualized as the degree of burnout. Family supports, the volunteering support system of corporation, various human relations in volunteering sites are selected and empirically tested as variables predicting the differential responses after volunteer activities. Questionnaire data were collected from 250 corporate volunteers and analyzed through hierarchical regression analysis. The results showed that while family supports have no significant effects on volunteering responses, corporate support system of volunteering have significant effects. Additionally, human relations with clients and volunteers managers have strong and positive significant effects on positive responses including the degree of satisfaction and the perceived contribution.

우리 회사의 경영방침은 "고객을 하늘처럼", "품질을 생명처럼"입니다. 그러나 궁극적인 목적은 직원과 가족의 행복입니다. 여기에 가장 우선순위를 두고 있는 사항이 바로 안전입니다. 직원이 다치고 해치면서까지 일을 한다면 절대 행복해 질 수 없는 이유인 것입니다. 또한 우리 회사가 추구하는 "고객을 하늘처럼"과 "품질을 생명처럼"을 실천할 수 없기 때문인 것입니다. 한편으로 한국몰렉스의 안전은 기업이 존립하기 위한 기반이라고 생각합니다. 위험하고 안전하지 않은 기업에는 절대 직원들이 일을 하지 않을뿐더러 이러한 기업은 곧 사라지기 마련이기 때문입니다. 따라서 우리 한국몰렉스는 앞으로도 직원의 안전을 위해 지속적인 투자와 관심으로 보다 안전한 한국몰렉스를 추구해 나갈 것입니다. 현재 길 건너편에 새로운 공장을 건설하고 있는 것도 안전시스템이 완비한 공장과 쾌적하고 즐거운 직장을 만들어주기 위함입니다. 이러한 노력은 앞으로도 계속될 것이고 이러한 기반 위에서 직원들도 자기 자신의 안전을 위해 기준을 준수하는 생활을 해줄 것으로 믿습니다.

처음에는 가족끼리 작은 실천을 했다. 그 기쁨은 컸다. 누군가와 함께 그 기쁨을 나누고 싶었다. 그래서 회사로, 그가 속한 집단으로 나눔이 점차 커져갔다. 최전남 남성기전(주) 대표(한국자동제어공업협동조합 이사장 대한기계설비건설협회 서울특별시회 감사) 이야기다. 최전남 대표의 꾸준한 나눔활동은 한사람의 배려(날개짓)가 여러 불우한 이웃을 행복하게 하는 나비효과를 기대하기 때문이다. 또한 따뜻하고 착한 중소기업의 인식개선에는 이만한 활동이 없기 때문이다. 남에게 배풂으로써 내가 행복하고 이웃이 행복하다는 '행복나눔 전도사' 최전남 대표를 만났다.

This study attempts to explore the activities and performance of industry-academic cooperation with the perspective of the firm that has not been systematically addressed in the previous research. To do this, a survey of university family companies across the country was conducted to draw factors that influence the competencies of firms and universities on the performance of industry-academic cooperation and to compare differences by region. The main results of the study are as follows. First, it was found that the knowledge and technologies that universities retain and the active participation of companies in the activities of university-academic cooperation were the most important contributors to the corporate achievements in industry-academic cooperation. Second, when divided into the Seoul metropolitan area and non-capital area, it was found that there was a difference in the capabilities and performance of industry-academic cooperation between the two regions. Third, it was found that there were significant differences in the capabilities and performance of industry-academic cooperation in five areas. These findings suggest that industry-academic cooperation projects specialized for each region is necessary to enhance the effectiveness of industry-academic cooperation.
