During the process of preparing for and initiating a startup, startup entrepreneurs allocate a significant amount of time to developing a business plan. Within this process, the documented business plan serves not only as a roadmap for the venture but also as a communication tool for capital acquisition and internal team collaboration. However, is the business plan, meticulously crafted by entrepreneurs, actually effective in generating startup performance? To answer this question, this study empirically analyzed the impact of a business plan on startup performance. Additionally, it examined how the relationship between the business plan and performance changes based on the satisfaction levels of entrepreneurs regarding the business plan. Through the analysis, the study validated the influence of the completeness of the business plan and entrepreneurial satisfaction on startup performance, and derived implications. To conduct the empirical analysis, a survey was conducted among 150 entrepreneurs. Regression analysis was performed to examine the relationship between the completeness of the business plan and performance, and the sample was further divided into two groups: startups with less than three years of operation and startups with three or more years of operation, for secondary analysis. The analysis results revealed that the completeness of the startup's business plan has a positive impact on both financial and non-financial performance. Furthermore, it is observed that the entrepreneur's satisfaction with the business plan had a moderating effect on the relationship between the business plan and financial performance. Moreover, for startups that are less than three years old, the entrepreneur's satisfaction with the business plan exhibits a moderating effect on the relationship between the completeness of the business plan and non-financial performance. This study holds significance as it reaffirms the importance of business plan development as a means to achieve sustainable growth for early-stage startups and empirically validates its significance. It is expected that this study will provide valuable insights for future startup entrepreneurs to better understand the importance of business planning and contribute to reducing the failure rate of early-stage startups.

최근, 수자원의 효율적 이용을 위하여 농업용수로를 파이프라인으로 시공하는 지구가 증가하는 추세에 있다. 한편으로는 간척지를 복합농업단지, 시설원예, 신재생에너지단지 등 다각적으로 이용하는 정책을 추진하고 있다. 이에 따라, 농업용수 공급시스템도 개수로에서 관수로로 설계하는 추세에 있다. 농업분야에서 관수로를 활용하기 시작한 것은 ‘80년대 중반부터이나 그간 관수로 설계기준의 부재, 시범사업의 실패 등으로 인하여 보급이 지연되어 왔다. 일반적으로 관수로 설계는 노선선정, 관조직 구성, 관경산정, 관망해석, 도면작성 등 일련의 과정을 거쳐야 완성된다. 이 설계과정에서 관경산정 및 관망해석은 고도의 설계 노하우가 없으면 활용이 어려운 설계기술이다. 이번에 개발한 관수로 설계지원시스템은 관수로 설계 전문가가 처리해야할 일련의 설계작업을 AUTO CAD상에서 일관성 있게 처리할 수 있도록 개발한 것이 특징이다. 관수로설계지원시스템은 수치지도상에서 등고선 좌표, 표고 등을 자동 추출하여 사업계획서 및 종단도를 작성할 수 있으며, 관망심볼을 이용하여 시스템상에서 관망조직을 구성할 수 있으며, 다양한 안에 대한 노선검토, 관경산정, 관망해석과 관두께, 매설심도 등 구조해석이 가능하다. 그리고, 농업용 관수로의 제수밸브 등 부대시설에 대한 표준도를 D/B로 작성하여 설계도 작성시 참고할 수 있도록 개발하였다. 관수로설계지원시스템은 매뉴얼대로 처리하면 관망해석에 대한 전문지식이 없어도 설계에 활용이 가능하다.

Objectives: This study aims to evaluate effectiveness of hypertension prevention and management programs (HPMPs) in rural Korea. Methods: A questionnaire survey was conducted with 700 community health practitioners working at primary health care posts (PHCPs). The questionnaire had four domains, which were hypertension management, hypertension prevention, the PHCP environment, and evaluation system, each with different maximum weighted values (WVs). Weighted values of 100 indicate the best effectiveness for the HPMP in all four domains. Results: The average WVs and percent effectiveness of all four domains combined was 61.65 (62%); the hypertension management domain was 28.81 (72%); the hypertension prevention domain was 23.44 (67%); the PHCP environment was4.29(43%); and the evaluation system was5.10(34%). Conclusion: The HPMPs were generally effective, and hypertension management was the most effective. The environment of PHCPs and the evaluation system of HPMPs should be improved to increase the effectiveness of the HPMPs.
