This paper reviews the theoretical background of the entrepreneurship policy recently prevailing in Korea. First of all, we define the entrepreneurship policy as the one that the government increases the supply of the individual entrepreneurs with entrepreneurship and supports their venture creation activities by intervening the entrepreneurial process. We distinguish the entrepreneurship policy from the small and medium-sized enterprises policy and the venture firm policy. As for the legitimacy of the entrepreneurship policy, we introduce the market for entrepreneur, examine the factors resulting in the market failure, and argue the necessity and the principles of government intervention to the market. Based on the entrepreneurial process, we establish the framework of entrepreneurship policy and examine the transmission channels by the policy area. The channels are (1) demand side, (2) supply side, (3) decision-making of establishing a new firm, (4) resources obtaining. Lastly, according to the transmission channels, we classify various entrepreneurship policy tools being presently implemented by the Korean government. However, since this study is a exploratory economic analysis of entrepreneurship policy, the approach and contents of entrepreneurship policy can be varied according to the research agenda and policy intension.

The aim of this paper is to grasp the impact of entrepreneurial activities of politician and business owner on regional industry amid the rising importance of entrepreneurship as the driver of structural change. In particular, it would help narrow the knowledge gap in empirical research by analysing the entrepreneurial spirit and motivation of the different trait of politicians and entrepreneurs that the relevant research is still insufficient. Through the case of politician' and business owner's entrepreneurship on the carbon industry growth of Jeollabuk-do and innovative start-up entering the lagging textile industry of Daegu, this study unearths the necessity of entrepreneurship, which has not been considered relatively much in the process of establishing regional industrial policies, thereby drawing the policy implication.

디지털 전환은 기존 산업의 진입장벽 파괴에 따른 새로운 비즈니스 기회 확대, 자산의 디지털화에 따른 초기창업비용의 축소 등 창업 및 기업가적 활동 측면에서 중대한 환경적 변화를 초래하고 있다. 이러한 변화로 인해 기존의 기업가정신 이론으로 기업가들이 새로운 비즈니스 기회를 인식하고 기업가적 가치를 추구하는 일련의 과정을 이해하기에는 충분치 않으며, 기업가정신의 특성 및 효과에 대한 새로운 접근이 필요하다는 문제의식을 바탕으로 최근 디지털 경제 환경에서의 기업가정신을 조망하는 새로운 이론적 틀로서 '디지털 기업가정신'이라는 개념 및 관련 연구분야가 부상하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 국가 단위에서 디지털 기업가정신의 고용효과를 탐색적으로 파악하기 위하여 국제 기업가정신 관련 조사인 「글로벌 기업가정신 모니터(GEM)」 데이터를 활용한 상관 관계 분석을 실시하였다. 연구 결과, 기업가적 활동에 있어서의 디지털 기술 활용 의지, 창업 의지, 6인 이상의 고용창출 의지 등이 상호 간 긍정적인 관련성을 가지는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 디지털 기술에 기반한 창업 또는 기업가적 활동에 대한 의지가 일자리 창출과 긍정적인 관계를 가진다는 의미다. 해외 학자들을 중심으로 이루어지고 있는 디지털 기업가정신 연구는 기업가정신 및 창업 프로세스에 대한 디지털화의 영향이나 디지털 기술의 혁신 및 새로운 벤처의 탄생에 의해 창출된 기업가적 기회에 대한 논의가 주를 이루고 있는 데 반하여, 본 연구에서는 디지털 기업가정신에 의해 창출되는 성과에 대해 살펴본다는 점에서 차별성이 있다. 또한 국내에서 많이 다루지 않은 디지털 기업가정신 관련 연구를 수행하고 그 결과를 발표함으로써 동 분야에 대한 국내 학계의 관심을 촉진할 것으로 기대된다는 점에서도 학술적 의의가 있다.

This paper presented a research model to investigate the relationship between the psychological traits of small business entrepreneurs and entrepreneurial orientation and the relationship between entrepreneurial orientation and performance. To verify the research model, a total of 202 entrepreneurs in Daegu were surveyed and the data obtained were used. The collected data were analyzed by SPSS and AMOS. The results of the analysis showed that all of the psychological traits except 'Agreeableness' and 'Extroversion' among the small business entrepreneur's psychological trait had a positive(+) effect on entrepreneurial orientation. In addition, it was confirmed that entrepreneurship orientation had a positive(+) effect on performance, and government policy funding had a moderating effect between entrepreneurship orientation and performance. In conclusion, the causal relationship between the small business entrepreneur's psychological traits and entrepreneurial orientation is examined, and the moderating effect of government support programs is examined to find out what psychological traits of small business entrepreneurs affect the expression of entrepreneurial orientation. In addition, since entrepreneurial orientation affects performance and government policy funds control, it suggests that continuous financial support for small business entrepreneurs is needed.

While there have been studies on the impact of government financial support on the performance of these enterprises, there is limited research on how entrepreneurs' perceptions of such policies affect business performance. Additionally, there is scarce domestic research on the role of entrepreneurial persistence in achieving and sustaining entrepreneurial goals and its impact on business performance. Therefore, the aim of this study is to analyze how entrepreneurs' perceptions of government policy support affect business performance and to explore the mediating effect of entrepreneurial persistence, shedding light on the significance of perceptions and deepening the understanding of entrepreneurial persistence. This study utilizes entrepreneurs' perceptions of government support for South Korean small and venture enterprises, and entrepreneurship as independent variables, with entrepreneurial persistence as a mediating variable and non-financial performance of businesses as the dependent variable. Data was collected through surveys targeting founders, CEOs, and executives of small and venture enterprises. After excluding incomplete responses, a total of 205 survey responses were used for hypothesis testing. The results of this study are as follows. First, it was verified that the perception of SME policy support and entrepreneurship have a significant positive impact on business performance. Second, it was verified that entrepreneurial persistence partially mediates the relationship between the perception of SME policy support and entrepreneurship and business performance. The theoretical implications of this study are twofold. First, it highlights the significant positive impact of entrepreneurs' perceptions of policy support on the non-financial performance of small and venture enterprises. This contributes to the theoretical understanding by demonstrating that entrepreneurs' perceptions play a role in affecting business performance, in contrast to previous research that focused on the impact of policy financial support on business performance. Second, this study extends the theoretical understanding of entrepreneurial persistence, a relatively understudied concept in domestic research, by demonstrating its mediating role in the relationship between entrepreneurs' perceptions of government support and, entrepreneurship, and business performance. Practically, the study suggests that to enhance the performance of small and venture enterprises, the government should not only expand policy support but also seek ways to increase entrepreneurs' perceptions of such support.

Smart specialization은 새로운 산업정책의 유용한 아이디어임에도 불구하고 이론적 논의는 소극적이었다. 이 글은 smart specialization에 관한 논의는 관련문헌에 비해 어떠한 새로운 관점을 제시하고 있으며, 또한 어떠한 이론적인 관련성과 정책정 유용성을 가지는가에 대하여 비판적으로 검토하기로 한다. 먼저, 스마트 전문화의 핵심적인 개념을 계량서지학(bibliometrics)으로 개관한 후, 정책적 유용성에 대해 노정한다. 본 논문의 주된 내용은 스마트 전문화의 장점과 단점을 이론적으로 논의하는 것인데, 이를 스마트 전문화에 대한 비판적 검토라고 할 수 있다.

Gifford(1992, 1993, 1997, 1998)는 제한적 주의력(limited attention)의 관점에서 벤처경영자, R&D 관리자, 혁신자, 벤처 캐피탈의 의사결정을 연구하였다. 창업경영자 (entrepreneurs)는 기술 개발, 제품디자인 개발, 원자재 확보, 제품 생산, 유통채널 확보, 가격정책 결정, 판매촉진 및 마케팅정책 결정 등의 다양한 경영활동을 수행하고 끊임없이 창업기회(entrepreneurial opportunities)를 추구하는 사람이다. Gifford 는 벤처 경영자를 창업기회와 다양한 경영활동의 포트폴리오(portfolio)를 수행하고 관리하는 대리인으로 간주한 '마술사 모형(Juggler model)' 을 제시하고 이익극대화의 관점에서 대리인의 의사결정을 분석하였다. 그녀는 모형을 통하여 특정시점을 지난 기존 메뉴를 포기 하고 새로운 창업기회를 평가하는 '포기정책(discard policy)' 과 아울러 기존 메뉴를 관리한 이후 새로운 창업기회를 평가하는 '연령검사(age inspection)' 를 동시에 사용한다는 결과를 도출하였다. 본 논문은 Gifford의 마술사 모형(Juggler model)을 수정, 발전시켜 창업경영자의 의사결정을 분석하였다. Gifford의 모형은 성장하지 않는 창업기회의 포트폴리오 결정에 대한 모형이기 때문에 창업기회의 성장성이 벤처경영자의 의사결정에 어떤 영향을 미치는가에 대한 논의가 전혀 없었다. 본 논문에서는 창업경영자를 기업가적 활동을 수행하는 사람으로 정의하고 벤처경영자의 의사결정을 분석하였다. 성장률이 큰 기업에서 기업가적 활동을 수행할 때 창업경영자가 창출하는 기업의 현재가치는 크게 증가하게 되는 반면 성장률이 떨어지는 기업에서 기업가적 활동을 수행할때 창업경영자가 창출하는 기업의 현재가치는 크게 감소하게 된다. 또, 창업경영자는 성장률이 큰기업을 선택하면 관리횟수가 줄어들게 되고 이익의 감소 없이 빠르게 수확할 수가 있다. 국가의 정책과 제도가 창업경영자를 보다 성 장률이 높은 기업에서 기업가활동을 하게 한다면 국가경제의 성장속도는 빨라지게 될 것이다.

This paper attempts to understand the factors that affect the social and economic performance of social venture and thereby obtain practical and useful implications. We analyze how such factors as social entrepreneurship, management competency, and organizational culture affect economic and social performance of 185 social venture in korea. In addition, we examine how government support may moderate the relationship of each variable. We find that innovativeness, proactiveness, risk-taking and social value orientation positively affect economic performance, whereas innovativeness, proactiveness and social value orientation can enhance social performance. We also learn that social entrepreneur's competency can have a direct effect on the enterprise's profitability, while organizational culture seems to affect performance of the companies only slightly. Government support is shown moderate effect of social entrepreneurship, competency, and organizational culture on the company's performance. Interestingly, our findings indicate that raising competency of social enterprise can be more effective than government support for enhancing performance of companies. Lastly, social venture's economic performance is shown to affect its social performance.

This study examined the problem of entrepreneurship education in Korea, which equate entrepreneurship with startups, unlike the global trend of approaching entrepreneurship with a broad concept. On the basis of overseas cases such as European Union and OECD, this study derived the need for entrepreneurship education from the perspective of thinking and behavioral patterns. In addition, Q methodology was used to reason out various recognition patterns and approach solutions for problems of entrepreneurship education in Korea, such as awareness of the need for entrepreneurship education in concepts separate from start-ups, reasons for infertility, and why it is difficult to activate. This approach was conducted for educators and educatees that carries out entrepreneurship education in Korea. In conclusion, there were four types of subjective perceptions about the difference of entrepreneurship education and startup education, and three types were recognized for the need to differentiate entrepreneurship education from startup education, and the two types that made up the upper majority strongly supported the need for entrepreneurship education to be implemented individually. According to the conclusion, this study proposed the development and spread of common teaching materials made by the Ministry of Education and Ministry of SMEs and Startups, which is the competent Ministry, to train professional teachers, training methods, and continuous refresher education. It also proposed that there should be a social atmosphere for eliminating rejection of entrepreneurship not only among the youth but also the adult population, and for continuous awareness of concepts that can be applied within the organization and the community, and that a policy basis is required to do so.
