본 논문은 1999년 1월부터 2000년 12월까지 코스닥증권시장에 등록한 벤처기업의 IPO를 대상으로 발행시장에서 벤처캐피탈리스트의 역할을 살펴보고 있다. 특히 미국의 발행시장에서는 벤처캐피탈리스트가 투자한 기업이 조기에 공개되는 현상이 나타나는 것으로 보고되고 있는 바, 우리나라에서도 이러한 현상이 존재하는지를 실증적으로 조사하고 있다. 코스닥증권시장에 등록한 벤처기업의 IPO를 대상으로 발행시장에서 벤처캐피탈리스트의 역할에 관한 우리의 연구 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 벤처기업과 비벤처기업의 초기 초과수익률의 차이분석에서, 벤처기업은 $AR_1$에서 할인 발행의 정도가 적어 Megginson-Weiss(1991)의 결과와 유사한 것으로 나타났지만, $AR_2$에서 발행가격 결정시 고려하지 못하는 비계수적 환경요인 등 미래기대수익에 대한 일반투자자의 평가가 호의적으로 나타나 발행회사의 입장에서는 할인발행의 정도가 큰 것으로 나타났다. 이는 이기환 임병균 최해술(1998), 장상수 길재욱(2000) 등의 연구와 유사한 결과를 보이고 있다. 둘째, 벤처캐피탈리스트의 명성에 따라 초기 초과수익률에 차이가 있었다. 즉, KTB지원기업의 초기 초과수익률이 낮았다. 셋째, 벤처캐피탈리스트의 보유지분을 변동에 대한 차이는 IPO전 평균보유지분율은 비KTB가 높았으나 공개 후 평균보유지분율은 KTB가 높았다. 이때 보유지분을 변동이 적은 KTB 지원기업의 초기 초과수익률이 낮았다. 특히 업력과 총자산의 규모가 할인발행을 줄이는 역할을 하는 것으로 나타났다. 업력은 Muscarella-Vetsuypens(1989)의 연구와 일치하고 있다. 넷째, 2개 이상의 벤처캐피탈리스트로부터 공동으로 투자받은 벤처기업의 초기 초과수익률이 하나의 벤처캐피탈로부터 단독으로 투자받은 벤처기업의 초기 초과수익률보다 낮았다. 그러나 통계적 유의성은 없었다. 다섯째, IPO까지 소요기간의 차이가 있는지에 대한 분석에서 비KTB지원기업이 보다 빨리 공개되고 있어 조기업적과시현상(grandstanding)을 보였다. 이는 Gompers(1996)의 연구와 일치한다. 여섯째, 등록주선인의 시장점유율에 차이가 있는지를 분석한 결과, KTB가 투자한 벤처기업 등록주선인의 평균시장점유율이 낮았다. 그러나 통계적 유의성은 없었다.

Most Korean companies in the fashion industry are SMEs, and the role of the CEO and management ownership is important for enhancing the firm's competence and developing strategies. The study aims to examine the effect of management ownership on company financial growth. In particular, the study focuses on the moderating effect of company age and size on Korean fashion SMEs' financial outcomes. Financial data based on company financial statements from 2012 to 2014 was collected by the Data Analysis, Retrieval and Transfer System of Korea's Financial Supervisory Service. A total of 295 companies' (domestic fashion businesses) data was analyzed by the bootstrap method. The median sales value in the financial year 2014 was 47,492,403,958 KRW, and the company size was divided by it. The companies were in business for an average of 20 years. According to the results, the management ownership had a negative effect on Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) for the three-years, and the relationship between the two variables was moderated by company age. Additionally, the interaction effect of management ownership and company age on 3-CAGR was also moderated by company size. When the companies had spent only a few years in business, a negative effect of management ownership for small firms and a positive effect of management ownership on financial growth for medium firms were found. These results suggest that small companies starting business need to manage their company governance structure to make flexible decisions, and after retaining financial growth, the companies can expand their businesses based on strong ownership.

As advancement into global markets becomes increasingly important, there are increasing interests in high-tech companies' export. This study is an empirical investigation of the determinants of high-tech companies' export in the Daegu region seen from a resource-based perspective with focuses on organizational resources and innovative capabilities. The empirical analysis revealed that the export determinants hold truer for high-tech companies compared to companies overall, and that high-tech companies' key export determinants include organizational age as a organizational resource and international intellectual property rights (IPRs) as an innovative capability. In this sense, policies to promote high-tech companies' export should be designed to support high-tech companies that have a relatively longer history and international IPRs. The results also suggest that in the working level high-tech companies should establish their internal capabilities from a resource-based perspective, for example history and experience in their fields and international IPRs, rather than trying to target global markets from the beginning as born-global companies do.

완전자본시장에서는 기업의 투자활동이 자금조달 방법과 무관하지만, 현실경제에서는 정보비대칭성으로 인해 외부자금 조달이 제약되는 금융제약 현상이 발생할 수 있다. 금융제약 현상은 기업의 규모가 작거나, 업력이 짧을수록, 그리고 하이테크 산업의 기업일수록 심화된다는 것이 일반적인 시각이다. 우리나라 코스닥 시장은 상대적으로 금융제약에 노출되는 기업들이 주로 상장되는 시장으로, 본 연구는 코스닥 상장이 개별 기업의 금융제약을 완화하는데 효과가 있었는지에 대해서 분석하였다. 분석 결과 금융제약 완화효과가 확인되었으며, 이러한 효과가 통합 증권선물거래소(현(現) 한국거래소)가 출범 후 강화된 것으로 나타났다. 이는 투자자 보호 측면의 체질개선이 거래량 및 코스닥 지수 등에는 일부 부정적이었을 수 있으나, 시장 안정화를 통해 기업의 자금조달을 도왔다는 것을 시사한다.

This study categorized 3,214 companies out of the tech firms supported by the Korea Technology Finance Corporation's "technology guarantee scheme" through technology assessment from 2017 to 2019 into Fourth Industrial Revolution-related companies and general SMEs. The impact of the management characteristics of these 1,752 tech firms on the determination of high-growth firms was then empirically analyzed. This study used the OECD(2007) definition to define a "high-growth firm" as "an enterprise with average revenue growth greater than 20% per annum, over a two-year period." As the two sample groups showed non-normal distribution, this study conducted the Mann-Whitney U test, a nonparametric test, to analyze the mean differences and bivariate logistic regression in which the normality assumption is less stringent. The independent variables include fundamental characteristics; a regional dummy; a technological level dummy; and the capabilities of company representatives, human capital, and technological innovation. The corresponding sub-variables are representatives' level of education and experience in the same industry, full-time workers, research personnel, the extent of intellectual property rights, investment in research and development, firm age, total assets, region_metropolitan area, region_central region, technological level_high technology, and technological level_medium technology. As a result, the research hypothesis about representatives' level of experience in the same industry, full-time workers, total assets, and technological level_high technology was supported for the Fourth Industrial Revolution-related companies. For the general SMEs, the research hypothesis about representatives' level of experience in the same industry, research personnel, total assets, and region_metropolitan area was supported.

본 연구는 기존의 재무관리이론과 중소기업이론의 관점에서 중소기업의 자본구조를 결정하는 재무적 제 요인을 비상장 비등록 중소기업의 자료를 이용하여 분석하였다. 기존의 자본구조결정이론이 제시하는 변수 외에 중소기업의 고유요인으로 경영자위험과 업력을 분석에 포함시켰다. 중소기업의 재무레버리지 사용에 유의적인 영향을 미치는 요인들은 담보가치, 성장성, 업종, 기업규모, 수익성, 그리고 중소기업고유요인으로 설정된 경영자위험의 여섯으로 나타났다. 담보로 사용할 수 있는 고정자산의 비중이 크며 성장성이 높고 기업규모가 큰 제조업을 하는 기업은 그렇지 않은 기업에 비하여 부채를 많이 사용하는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 수익성이 높아 사내유보를 많이 한 기업, 현금흐름이 불안정하여 경영자의 통제권에 대한 위험이 높은 기업은 부채를 적게 사용하는 것으로 나타났다. 장 단기부채의 사용에 따른 재무행태의 차이점 분석에서는 장기에 걸쳐 결정되는 담보가치와 기업규모 변수는 단기차입금의 결정에는 영향을 미치지 못하는 것으로 분석되었다. 그리고 중소기업은 경영자위험을 단기차입금이 아닌 장기차입금의 축소를 통하여 헤지하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 기업형태별로 즉, 법인기업과 개인기업으로 나누어 재무레버리지 결정의 차이점을 분석하였는데 개인기업은 법인기업에 비하여 그 행태가 매우 단순한 것으로 나타났다. 개인기업의 장기차입금 모형에서 의미 있는 변수로는 정보의 비대칭성을 완화시켜줄 수 있는 담보가치, 기업규모의 두 변수로 분석되었다. 그러나 개인기업의 단기차입금 분석에서는 유의적인 변수를 찾을 수가 없었다. 이러한 사실은 개인기업이 규모의 절대적 왜소와 경영능력의 열악함으로 재무레버리지의 사용에 있어서 법인기업에 비하여 불리한 위치에 있음을 의미하며, 같은 이유로 개인기업에 대하여는 재무레버리지 결정에 대한 논리적 설명이 일정 부분에서는 불가능함을 시사한다고 하겠다.

The first generation of the business that had been founded in 1960~1970s faces the situation to consider the succession of the family business developed by devotion of their whole lives in the critical timing to the next generation. In the process of selecting the party of family business succession, it is required to consider a variety of succession types including smooth transfer to the other family member or the employee of the company, selling the company, or hiring external specialist. Foreign countries acknowledge the importance of the succession in the family owned company to perform multiple studies on the influential factors to the succession, distinction, and types of family business succession; and they utilize the results for the related policy development and the support of family owned business succession. However, few studies have been conducted on the succession of the domestic family owned business and majority of them are related to the types of succession. Considering its share and influential power in the domestic economy, it is necessary to develop the guideline and the policies to solve many issues on the succession of the family owned business by systemic studies. Hence, the impact of the main characteristics in the family owned business on the types of its succession was analyzed in this study focusing on five domains of Socioemtional Wealth (SEW) in view of Behavioral Agency Theory by Gomez-Mejia et al. (2007) using the data from 540 family owned small-to-medium sized businesses so as to analyze the issues on their business succession. Upon the empirical analysis results, it was confirmed that they were influenced to the selection of succession type by family succession > internal employee succession > external succession, for the variables of social contribution which were non-financial characteristics, internal employee succession > family succession > external succession for the intellectual properties, and family succession > external succession for the management participation of the family. The distinction of social contribution were influenced the most to the selection of the succession types. Financial factors, business performance, and R&D investment variables were not significantly influenced to their selection of the succession types. In case of simultaneous management, the family succession rate was high and it showed the control effect to strengthen selecting family owned business with R&D investment, social contribution, and company history variables. The behavioral agency theory used in this study was confirmed with high explanation power on the family owned business succession. The family owned business showed the tendency to maintain SEW, and non-financial factors such as accumulated know-how and social contribution based on the long term history were significantly affected to the succession in the small-to-medium sized family owned businesses, unlike general large sized listed companies. The results of this study are expected to be helpful practically for the succession of the family owned business and to suggest the guideline for the development of governmental policy.

The survival period according to technological capability was analyzed for about 22,500 innovative SMEs in the service industry. The survival period was defined as the occurrence of overdue and default, and the technological capability was divided into two clusters. As a result of estimating the survival period according to technological capability through Kaplan-Meier analysis, it was confirmed that the estimated survival period of T1-T4 grade service innovative SMEs was significantly greater in both overdue and default. As a result of the analysis of the Cox proportional hazard model applying the control variable, it was confirmed that the higher technological capability, the lower the risk in the group of start-up companies. However, in the group of non-start-up companies the technological capability did not significantly affect the survival period, and the influence of the variables related to the size of the company was found to increase. Therefore, the technological capability is meaningful as additional information that has a significant effect on the survival period of innovative SMEs in the start-up companies group of service industry. In addition, it was concluded that it is necessary to reflect the technological capability when establishing the SME support and promotion policy of the start-up companies group in the service industry.

This study analyzes newly listed companies on KOSDAQ from 2011 to 2020 for both firms having experience in attracting venture investment before listing (VI) and those without having experience in attracting venture investment (NVI) by examining differences between two groups (VI and NVI) with respect to both the level of listing performance and that of firm performance (growth) after the listing. This paper conducts descriptive statistics, mean difference, and multiple regression analysis. Independent variables for regression models include VC investment, firm age at the time of listing, firm type, firm location, firm size, the age of VC, the level of expertise of VC, and the level of fitness of VC with investment company. Throughout this paper, results suggest that listing performance and post-listed growth are better for VI than NVI. VC investment shows a negative effect on the listing period and a positive effect on the sales growth rate. Also, the amount of VC investment has negative effects on the listing period and positive effects on the market capitalization at the time of IPO and on sales growth among growth indicators. Our evidence also implies a significantly positive effect on growth after listing for firms which belong to R&D specialized industries. In addition, it is statistically significant for several years that the firm age has a positive effect on the market capitalization growth rate. This shows that market seems to put the utmost importance on a long-term stability of management capability. Finally, among the VC characteristics such as the age of VC, the level of expertise of VC, and the level of fitness of VC with investment company, we point out that a higher market capitalization tends to be observed at the time of IPO when the level of expertise of anchor VC is high. Our paper differs from prior research in that we reexamine the venture ecosystem under the outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 which stimulates the degradation of the business environment. In addition, we introduce more effective variables such as VC investment amount when examining the effect of firm type. It enables us to indirectly evaluate the validity of technology exception policy. Although our findings suggest that related policies such as the technology special listing system or the injection of funds into the venture ecosystem are still helpful, those related systems should be updated in a more timely fashion in order to support growth power of firms due to the rapid technological development. Furthermore, industry specialization is essential to achieve regional development, and the growth of the recovery market is also urgent.
