본 연구는 LISREL모형을 이용하여 우리나라 266개 상장기업을 대상으로 기업다각화와 기업가치간의 영향관계를 분석하고, 다각화 및 기업가치 결정요인을 분석하였다. 분석결과 첫째, 90년대 초반까지는 다각화가 초과가치를 발생시켰지만, 90년대 중반 이후에는 다각화에 의한 사업운영방식이 부의 초과가치를 발생시켜 기업가치에 부정적인 영향을 미칠 수 있음을 알 수 있었다. 둘째, 다각화는 기업의 시장가치에 정의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타나, 시장에서는 다각화된 기업을 전문화된 기업보다 더 높게 평가하고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 셋째, 기업의 다각화수준에 영향을 미치는 요인으로는 외부대주주지분을, 레버리지비율, 기업설립연수, 기업규모, 계열기업 여부 등으로 파악되었다. 90년대 초반까지는 외부대주주지분율이 높고, 기업설립연수가 오래되고, 계열기업에 속해 있고, 규모가 작은 기업의 경우 다각화수준이 낮게 나타났지만, 90년대 중반 이후에는 이와 같은 특성을 가진 기업의 다각화수준이 높아지는 것으로 분석되었다. 레버리지비율은 기업의 다각화수준과 일관되게 정의 영향관계를 보여, 차입자금을 이용하여 다각화를 추진하는 우리나라 기업의 현실적 상황을 확인할 수 있었다. 넷째, 다각화의 초과가치에 영향을 미치는 요인으로는 외부대주주지분을, 레버리지비율, 기업규모, 계열기업 여부 등으로 파악되었다. 90년대 초반에는 외부대주주지분율이 높고, 기업규모가 작고, 계열기업에 속한 기업들이 다각화를 통해 정의 초과가치를 획득할 수 있었지만, 90년대 중반 이후에는 외부대주주지분율이 낮고, 기업규모가 크고, 계열기업에 속하지 않은 기업이 다각화에 의해 초과가치를 얻을 수 있음을 알 수 있었다. 레버리지는 그 비율이 높을수록 다각화의 초과가치가 크게 나타나는 것으로 분석되어, 다각화 기업이 더 많은 부채부담능력을 가질 수 있고, 부채의 세금절감효과에 의해 기업가치를 증가시킬 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.

The purpose of this article is to investigate the effects of cash flow and accrual, which are the elements of earnings, and those of the elements of cash flow and accrual on the consistency of cash flow and firm's value. We analyzed 4 kinds of regression models, of which the independent variables are this period's cash flow, the elements of cash flow, accrual, and the elements of accrual, and the dependent variables are the next period's cash flow, and the stock price at the end of financial statements disclosure months, respectively. The sample firms were the manufacturing companies listed on the Stock Exchange 1980 through 2006, of which the fiscal year ended in December. And, the results of the analyses are as follows: Cash flow and accrual are shown to have significant relationships with cash flow consistency and the evaluations of firms' value. And, the elements of cash flow or accrual proved to have more influence than the total amount of them, on cash flow consistency and the evaluation of firms' value. Also, the results present that some of the elements of cash flow and accrual differently affect cash flow consistency and the evaluation of firms' value. Accordingly, this study indicates that each of the elements of cash flow and accrual needs to be considered respectively rather than the total amount of them, in the case that cash flow and accrual are used in the decision-making concerned with the forecast of cash flow and the evaluation of firms' value. This study also shows that each element of cash flow and accrual needs to be used differently for cash flow forecast and the evaluation of firms' value.

Recently, concerns are growing over small and medium-sized companies holding out on debt as domestic loan interest rates have risen sharply due to the prolonged impact of COVID-19 and soaring raw material prices. In addition, loans from small and medium-sized enterprises, which are difficult in the business environment, are increasingly being rejected due to high loan interest rates and excessive submission documents and financial statements-oriented screening of loans by the financial sector. Therefore, since it is necessary to discuss ways to promote financing and investment by SMEs, this study intends to suggest ways to promote investment through the use of SMEs' ESG systems. The purpose of this study is to suggest that the use of ESG evaluation indicators used as non-financial indicators helps predict the corporate value of SMEs and the importance of SMEs actively participating in ESG information disclosure. This study suggests the necessity of introducing and practicing ESG by SMEs where financing is important, and aims to analyze as an empirical result that the use of non-financial indicators helps predict corporate value. As a result of the study, the ESG performance and corporate value of SMEs showed a positive (+) relationship. It can be seen that both the grades and corporate value of SMEs by ESG sector have a positive (+) influence relationship. The total ESG rating was confirmed to have a positive effect on corporate value, and it was confirmed that SMEs with higher ESG environment, social, and governance ratings were evaluated higher. According to the research results, it is suggested that SMEs also need to use ESG evaluation indicators, and in order to promote the growth of SMEs, it is suggested that research on ways to re-examine the corporate value of SMEs is necessary. Therefore, this study suggests that the use of ESG should be actively recommended and implemented as a way to establish a management strategy for SMEs, and that efforts to disclose ESG information can soon help SMEs solve information asymmetry. In addition, SMEs want to understand the investment mechanism that the introduction and practice of ESG can lead to the improvement of the value of SMEs and suggest the necessity of SME-type ESG policies in the future.

The major goal of this paper falls on developing new rational valuation model, to help companies and investors in the early stage of growth as to preparing and negotiating valuation of investment, by applying new reasonable discount indexes of calculating Discount Cash Flow in valuation of the start-up which has been recognized the critical fatal flaws of DCF with them. There are three specific studies done in this paper. First, this paper found the solid and viable bases of rational discount indexes as to applying DCF in valuing companies in the early growth stage with reviewing the previous studies including Berkus method, Scorecard Method, and Risk factor Summation method classified the most effective tools of valuing pre-revenue generating companies. Second, this paper quoted and analyzed the previous models and studies, so called, 'DCF-Prime' of applying DCF method as to value companies in the early growth stage by taking all risk factors innate to the companies in the early growth stage as the discount rate Beta coefficient. Third, this paper propose more viable and solid valuation models, so called, 'DCF-Plus'of combing all validated valuation factors in Berkus, Scorecard, and Risk Factor Summation methods into applying separate discount bracket after DCF Valuation over the companies in the early growth stage instead of taking them as the factors of discount rate, beta coefficient, like the previous model of DCF-Prime. DCF-Plus mainly developed in this paper will not only provide more rational valuation bases as to investment negotiation between companies and investors in the early growth stage, but also providing more accountable guidelines to companies in the early growth as to prepare investment raising and accelerating their company's value by themselves.

The corporate logo symbolizes the company's value, goals and vision as a visual symbol representing the company. It serves as a communication tool for companies by conveying different messages depending on design and color. As demands for ESG management have recently increased, companies have begun to implicitly demonstrate values such as environmental protection and corporate transparency through logos. Companies use logos as a strategy to visually emphasize the value they pursue and project the desired image as a signal. In this process, stakeholders who see the logo experience cognitive bias. Therefore, this study seeks to find out that ESG value can be indirectly communicated by the design of corporate logos, which can also affect a company's ESG evaluation. In addition, this study will examine the moderate effect that logos expect to encounter a greater bias effect as the companies actively include ESG-related issues in corporate disclosure data. This study conducted an analysis of 617 KOSPI-listed companies using ESG evaluation data from 2020 to 2022. The analysis confirmed the significant relation of the type of logo and ESG disclosure on ESG evaluation but found partially moderate effect of ESG disclosure.

This study starts from the research question that "Why some companies decide to keep working in partnership even when they are not satisfied with the partner companies simply because they are old business partners." The authors try to find the answer in terms of customer value considering the phases of B2B transaction spectrum: transaction value, relationship value and appraisal value implementing empirical research. The result shows that the intension to retain the relation with an existing partner is formed by the trade-off between the benefit and cost of both contract value and relationship value and not the sole value was dominant. The unique point of the study is that current study is considering these two factors as dependent variables which affect the relationship continuity which is not the case in existing researches.

The financial value of early stage start-up has a tendency to depend more on the non-financial factors, but these are not efficiently reflected in the traditional valuation models. Therefore, most of valuation practices for early stage start-ups heavily relied on the guts of experts. To remedy this, this study suggests a model to directly reflect the non-financial factors especially for the real options approach. Actual process of valuation and the adjustment way were developed considering the characteristics of early stage start-ups in the game industry.

This paper examines the effect of the amendment of the valuation method for unlisted stocks in the inheritance tax law. There were many criticisms on the valuation method of the inheritance tax law because the method is not effective in the respect of the fairness in taxation. The method in the inheritance tax law was amended four times since the year 1991. This research focused on whether these amendments increased the impartiality in taxation or not. The finding of the empirical test indicates that as the valuation method were amended, the stock prices calculated by the valuation method were closer to the real stock price. On this ground, I could conclude that the amendments were effective in decreasing the partiality in taxation. In spite of the result, considering the cycle of stock market, I found that the problem of unlisted stock valuation in the inheritance tax law. The law lacks flexibility and elasticity.
