This study analyzed the determinants of high-growth firms using the technology appraisal data of the Korea Technology Finance Corporation. This study is differentiated from previous studies for three reasons. First, it analyzed the determinants of firms that will grow into high-growth firms in the future, not the characteristics of current high-growth firms. Second, it analyzed high-growth firms by dividing them in two aspects: sales and employment. In other words, they were divided into three types: the case in which a firm achieves high growth in both sales increase and creation of jobs, the case in which a firm achieves high growth in creation of jobs but low growth in sales increase, and the case in which a firm achieves high growth in only sales increase but low growth in creation of jobs. Third, this study applied the technology appraisal indicators of Kibo Technology Rating System(KTRS) by the Korea Technology Finance Corporation as the explanatory variable. As a result of analysis, it was found that a firm achieved high growth in both sales and employment if the position in the technology life cycle was appropriate and the technology readiness level was high. However, it turned out that the management system of technical manpower had conflicting effects on high growth of employment and sales. In other words, a firm that had well managed its technical manpower achieved high growth in terms of employment, but rather showed low growth in terms of sales. This result suggests the inference that firms showing high growth in employment may appear mainly in the high-tech industry where management of technical manpower is important. Accordingly, as a result of adding dummy variables that represent whether or not firms are in the high-tech industry, it was found that the result supported the inference, as firms in the high-tech industry were highly likely to achieve high growth in employment.

This study was carried out to define gazelle industry through preceded research for gazelle firm & gazelle region, in order to discover high-growth industries. Gazelle industry is 'employees per company is more than ten people, and over the past five years, within top 10% by Birch employment growth index'. According to the definition of gazelle industry, Chungnam gazelle 105 industries were chosen. Then, analyzed whether Chungnam gazelle industries has competitiveness compared with nation and each city of Chungnam. In addition, typology to industrial development stage was devised by developing of business scale quotient(BQ) and industrial growth rate(IG). And development strategies of Chungnam gazelle industries was proposed case by industrial development stage.

The high-technological in the electric and electronic industries is recognized in overseas markets as well. However, the competition for technologies in these industries is increasing. Therefore, electric and electronic firms should be more efficient in their production. so, This paper analyzes the efficiency of High-growth Electrical and Electronics firms using DEA model. We evaluate the CCR, BBC efficiency and RTS(return to scale) of 20 Korean high-growth Electrical and Electronics firms. There are a total of 12 efficient DMUs with a BCC of 1. There are a total of 4 efficient DMUs with a CCR of 1. A total of 11 DMUs were IRS in Scale Efficiency and a total of 6 DMUs were CRS in Scale Efficiency and a total of 3 DMUs were DRS in Scale Efficiency. We also suggest the Electrical and Electronics firms which can be benchmarked based on analyzed information.

The Korean economy has sustained high growth rate for almost three decades, that have been associated with the rapid expansion of manufacturing industries. In the beginning stage of development, the high growth of the Korean economy has been based on improvements in productivity obtained by the economies of scale. In that period, the improvements in productivity could be secured by the economies of scale in the export-oriented industries which are the labor- and material-intensive industries. In the latter half of the 1980s, the Korean economy went through rapid transition. Now Korea is at another juncture in its development process, where economic restructuring is critical to sustain high growth. However, economic restructuring in the 1990s call for much more concerted effort than before, since changes in internal and external conditions have profoundly altered the environment for economic development. If Korea is to sustain high growth in the 1990s, it has to promote balanced economic and social development in coordination with the smooth facilitation of industrial restructuring. There are no inherent conflicts among the issues involved, so they can be resolved by restructuring the economy to facilitate, in a global context, the development of knowledge- and technology-intensive activities and to ensure that the benefts of growth are reflected of qualitative improvements in national living standards. In this paper, we examined a scenario of structural changes using a mid- and long-term multisector model, in order to understand the conditions needed for realizing the growth potential. This examination explains the important features of the development course and policy directions that will help sustain high growth in the 1990s.

Research on OECD and Korea have shown that high-growth startups are the keys to job creation and that these companies are very important for economic growth. Given that the large-scale entry of women into the labor force accelerates economic growth and women have far lower levels of participation in growth-oriented entrepreneurship than men do, accelerating female entrepreneurship could have positive effects on the Korean economy. This paper uses data from several databases to do a comparison analysis between women's and men's start-ups to explore the factors that explain the lag in building high-growth firms among women. Women startups make up nearly 34% of startups(defined as less than 7 years of establishment), but only 6% of high-growth startups. Women rarely own large businesses, reflecting their low levels of initial capital and outside financing. Regardless of gender, entrepreneurs face many of the same challenges in starting businesses, but this study shows three primary factors for female entrepreneurs that lead to a less high-growth startup: a greater financing gap than for men(this gap is more apparent for high-growth firms), a lack of ideas, knowledge, and experience(related to the lack of mentorship), and lastly the difficulty maintaining a work-life balance. The findings are very similar with those found in studie's in the US(financing gap, work-life balance, and lack of mentorship). Further studies are required to identify more specific factors behind the gender gap in ideas, knowledge, and experience.

국내의 섬유산업은 핵심 원천기술의 부족으로 고성능 섬유소재 등 고부가가치 제품의 제조가 취약한 실정이다. 이러한 고성능 섬유제품 산업의 기반이 되는 요소기술인 고성능 소재 생산, 복합화, 염색/후가공, 제품 설계, 디자인 및 제품화 기술 등의 모든 분야에서 선진국 대비 기술 수준이 부족하다. 하지만, 최근 들어 부가가치가 큰 고성능 의복 시장에의 관심이 증대되고 있으며, 국내에서 p-aramid 및 m-aramid 등의 고성능 소재의 양산화 및 활발한 기술개발 등이 이루어지고 있다. 또한 다양한 용도 전개 노력으로 제품화가 이루어지고 있으므로 고성장 가능성이 잠재되어 있는 분야이다. 이처럼 기 개발된 고성능 섬유소재를 이용하여 용도에 따른 제품화로 산재되어 있는 고성능 의류 시장에의 진입 및 선점이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 고내열 소재인 FR-rayon(100%) 직물과 FR-rayon/m-aramid로 혼방하여 제직된 직물을 이용하여, 동일 전처리 조건에서 조제 투입비를 달리하여 전처리 공정을 진행한 후 침투도,호발성, 인장강도 등을 비교/분석하여 전처리 효과를 확인하였다.
