In this paper, we analyse empirically the effects of internal financing on investment of innovative small and medium sized enterprises listed on Kosdaq Market of Korea Exchange. The main results of this study can be summarized as follows. Free cash flows by proxy variables of internal financing have the significant effects on R&D investment as well as fixed asset investment. Internal financing has much more effects on R&D investment of general enterprises listed on Kosdaq Market than that of venture enterprises listed on Kosdaq Market, and on R&D investment of innovative enterprises than that of non-innovative enterprises. Internal financing has more effects on asset-counted R&D investment than cost-counted R&D investment. Asset-counted R&D investment is counted in intangible assets on Balance Sheet, and cost-counted R&D investment is counted in cost on Income Statement. Internal financing has more effects on R&D investment of financial constrained enterprises than that of financial unconstrained enterprises. Financial constraints is measured by credit ratings. Faulkender and Smith (2007) emphasize that low credit ratings enterprises are more likely to face financial constraints, and they rely largely on internal financing.

본 연구에서는 우리나라 기업에서 내부현금흐름과 부채가 투자지출과 어떠한 관계에 있는가를 분석함으로서 외부자금조달의 제약 및 대리인 문제가 투자지출에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 분석의 결과, 전체 기간에 대하여 투자지출은 내부현금흐름과 강한 양(+)의 관계를 나타내어 외부 자금조달의 제한이 투자지출에 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 표본을 분류하여 분석한 결과, 단독기업이 재벌기업에 비해 정보비대칭 문제가 심각하므로 더 큰 외부자금조달의 제한에 직면할 것이라는 증거는 발견되지 않았으며, 주식시장의 장세에 따른 분석결과, 주가 상승기에 투자지출과 부채비율은 두드러진 음(-)의 관계를 형성함으로서 이 시기에는 부채가 투자를 억제하는 요인인 것으로 분석되었다. 또한 IMF 이후 1998년에는 내부현금흐름이 투자지출에 큰 영향을 미치지 않았으며, 투자기회가 적은 기업에서만 부채의 계수가 유의적인 음(-)으로 나타나 IMF 이전과는 다른 양상을 보였다.

This study analyzed the financing ratio by operation fund financing method and their impact on management performance according to the establishment operation management entity of the medical institution. For the analysis method, ANOVA, logistic regression, and regression analysis were conducted using financial information registered with HASPA.The results of the study, The ratio of gross revenue to operating funds differed significantly depending on the establishment operation management entity. In addition, it was found that the financing ratio of each operation fund financing method was significantly related to the management results(deficit, surplus), and the impact of the operation fund financing method on management performance differed according to the establishment operation management entity. As a result, the management of operating funds of medical institutions is deemed appropriate to apply cost management first considering the ratio of revenue to operating funds, and then to utilize internal operating funds.

The central factor in the pecking order theory of financial structure is the asymmetric distribution of information between managers and less-informed outside investors. Myers and Majluf (1984) show that this asymmetry leads managers to prefer internal funds to external funds. Funds are raised through equity issues only after the capacity to issue debt has been exhausted. In contrast, according to static tradeoff theory, an optimum financial structure exists by the tradeoff between tax saving by debt and bankruptcy costs. This study examines the recent changes of Korean firms' financial structure and financing behavior and the determinants of financial structure. The sample of firms comes from the period of $1996{\sim}2004$, and the number of firms is 32,003. The major findings are as follows. First, in contrast with previous studies using US firms as sample, Korean firms have been using debt financing as their major financing instrument. Especially, the firms in the fund deficit situation relies much more on $long{\sim}term$ and $short{\sim}term$ debts rather than on equity issues. Second, as is the case with previous studies using US firms sample indicates, the financing deficit variable can not explain perfectly the net debt issue. However, compared with net equity issue variable, net debt issue variable is more closely related to the financing deficit variable. Third, when financing deficit variable is added to the current list of explanatory variables of financial structure determinants model, it has a significant and positive explanatory power. In addition, the coefficients of determinants are much improved. Thus, it is concluded that although pecking order theory is not perfect, it appears to be more useful compared to static tradeoff theory, at least in explaining the recent financing behavior of Korean manufacturing firms.

This article studies the types of financing and the liquidity of small and medium size firms in their early-stage. The sample firms distinguish themselves from the established firms in the second year after foundation in that they rely heavily on external equity financing. However, they use the internal financing the most in the fourth year and do not show distinguishing feature any more. In the mean while, they do not show any serious liquidity problem either in the second year or in the fourth year. The empirical results imply that early-stage lasts rather short after the foundation for successful Korean firms, and that a distinguishing feature of early-stage firm can be found only in financing, not in liquidity. They also allow us to assert that Government-lead financial aid programs should be limited to two- or three-year-old firms and focused on helping their financing investments rather than easing their liquidity problem.

This study investigates how SMEs' (small and medium-sized enterprises) financing strategies affect firm valuation. Given that information asymmetry is engaged in firm valuation in the stock market, investors interpret the meanings of debt financing depending on how SMEs construct the portfolio of financing strategies (retained earnings vs debt financing), thereby making investment decision. Specifically, given that SMEs' debt financing has two meanings in the market signals, called "benefit" and "cost", this study postulates that firm valuation will be differently made by investors, depending on how they interpret the meanings of debt financing under choice competition between retained earnings and debt financing. In this study, we argue that under choice competition, as a SME's debt proportion increases, the "cost" signal outweighes the "benefit" signal, thereby decreasing firm valuation. Moreover, the effect of such signal can be contingent on the SME's characteristics-firm visibility. These ideas are examined using 363 U.S. SMEs ranging from 1971 to 2010. The fixed-effects models estimating Tobin's q show that under choice competition, a SME's debt proportion has a negative impact on firm valuation and that the firm's high visibility mitigates the effect of "cost" signal. In conclusion, this study sheds new light on how investors' interpretations of SMEs' financing strategies affect firm valuation.

Even after successful technology development, there are many cases where commercialization fails due to difficulties in financing in the early stages of commercialization. The purpose of this study is to give practical implications to technology-based founders. At the beginning of commercialization, 7 companies that succeeded in procuring different types of external funds were selected to conduct case analysis. The results are as follow. First, it was confirmed that the excellence of technology is the most important. Second, it was confirmed that they were majors in the relevant technology field or have worked in related fields, and concluded that greater synergy effect can be created by adding the founder's business will and active attitude. Third, even if the company's internal capabilities were insufficient, it was possible to succeed in financing by identifying and utilizing external financial information. Fourth, it is necessary to utilize a linked financial system that receives both loans and investments. Fifth, systematic IR (Investor Relation) should be continued.

본(本) 논문(論文)에서는 기업 내부자와 자본시장 간에 정보(情報)의 배분(配分)이 불균등할 경우 외부자금의 조달 및 주주에 대한 현금배당 등의 재무정책(財務政策)에 관한 장기계획의 수립에서 고려하여야 할 문제들을 2단계(2段階) 효율적신호(效率的信號) 균형(均衡)의 모형(模型)을 통하여 분석하였다. 본(本) 연구(硏究)에서는 단위 기간의 연결체인 장기모형을 동태적(動態的)으로 분석함으로써 각 단위 기간의 모형 구성이 기존의 연구들과 유사함에도 불구하고 기존의 정태적(靜態的) 분석(分析)들에서 밝혀지지 않았던 현상들까지 설명이 가능하였다. 기존의 연구들에서 밝혀진 배당(配當) 및 신주발행(新株發行)의 정보효과(情報效果)는 본 연구의 동태적 균형에서도 나타났으나, 일반적으로 정태적 모형들이 재무정책(財務政策)의 정보효과에 기인한 투자정책의 왜곡을 지나치게 과장하고 있음을 보였다. 또 기존의 연구들에서는 분석이 곤란하였던 배당 및 기업 내부자금의 장기적 균등화의 문제를 분석하여 적정 여유자금의 보유가 기업가치의 증대에 도움이 됨을 보였다.
