Social enterprises, hybrid organizations that blend the logic of the public and market economies, have emerged as an alternative to market failure. However, due to the government-led compressed growth of social enterprises, many social enterprises rely on government financial support, and when the support ends, the survival rate drops significantly and the scale remains at the microenterprise level, raising concerns about the quality growth and sustainability of social enterprises. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to identify the social entrepreneurial orientation that affects the sustainable management performance and to empirically analyze the moderating effect of network utilization capabilities in this process. To achieve the purpose of this study, a questionnaire was distributed to a random sample of member organizations in the metropolitan area, including the Incheon City Small Business Association, the Gyeonggi-do Small Business Association etc. The survey was conducted for about two months and a total of 1,300 questionnaires were distributed and 180 were returned, of which 173 were used for empirical analysis, excluding seven that were not returned. The collected survey data were subjected to structural equation modeling test using Smart PLS ver. 4.1 statistical package. The results showed that entrepreneurial value orientation and social value orientation positively influenced both economic and social performance. Convergent value orientation was only found to have an effect on economic performance, but not on social performance. Finally, the moderating effect of network capabilities was also found, suggesting that social entrepreneurial orientation positively affects organizational performance when social network capabilities are higher.

Regulation theories has paid little attention to spatial regulation processes, while it has focused on economic and social regulation processes. More specifically, there have been little researches on regulationist approach to the transformation of the post-socialist system in the context of the space economy. Therefore, the article has attempted to conceptualize the transformation of space economy under the post-socialist system in the light of regulation theories. The space economy could be regarded as the foundation of the reproduction of social relations. Thus, the transformation of post-socialist system has led to the fundamental changes in enterprise and industrial networks as well as social relations in spatial contexts. In this perspective, the research has attempted to identify 'the mode of enterprise regulation' regarded as a codified firm networks by investigating intra-, inter- and extra-firm relations associated with the transformation of post-socialist system. Also, it has intended to suggest three types of the space economy - (1) disembedded economies based on the isolated networks and dissolution of pre-existing networks, (2) embedded economies based on the interaction of institutions and restructuring of networks, and (3) over-embedded economies based on the insulated institutions and endurance of pre-existing networks-in accordance with the governance, institution and networks in the post-socialist system.

오늘날 급변하는 환경 속에서 기업이 계속 살아남고 성장해 나가기 위해서는 경제적 측면에서의 효율성이나 경쟁력을 강화해 나가야 함과 동시에 보다 거시적이고 장기적인 시각에서 사회로부터 정상적인 기업 활동을 인정받는 사회적 정당성(social legitimacy)을 획득하기 위해 노력해야 한다. 그렇지 않으면 해당 기업에 대해서는 물론 국가 전체적으로 반(反)기업정서가 만연하게 된다. 바로 이러한 시각에서 볼 때 여기서 우리가 다루고자 하는 기업의 사회적 책임과 기업윤리 문제는 기업의 지속가능경영을 위한 거시경영분야의 연구에서도 가장 주목을 받는 부분이다.

일본(日本)의 후진적(後進的) 중소기업구조(中小企業構造)는 경제(經濟)의 국제화(國際化)가 급속히 진전된 70년대에 크게 개선되었고, 이에 따라 중소기업문제(中小企業問題)에 대한 사회의 인식도 변하게 되었다. 국제수지(國際收支)의 흑자기조(黑字基調)가 정착되면서 급속히 진전된 경제의 국제화를 계기로 후진적(後進的) 중소기업구조(中小企業構造)가 개선된 일본의 경험은 우리 경제가 당면한 중소기업문제(中小企業問題)의 이해와 개선에 도움을 줄 것이다. 경제(經濟)의 국제화(國際化)를 계기로 우리 경제에서도 중소기업구조(中小企業構造)를 개선하는 산업조정(産業調整)이 가속될 것이다. 경제구조(經濟構造)와 내외환경(內外環境)의 차이로 인하여 중소기업분야(中小企業分野)의 산업조정과정(産業調整過程)에는 일본의 경험과 일치하지 않는 부분도 많겠지만, 경제 전반의 대외지향적(對外指向的) 기술(技術) 지식집약화(知識集約化) 과정(過程)에 의하여 규정되는 기본적 성격에는 차이가 없을 것이다. 중소기업과 관련된 경제운용의 기본방향은 이러한 중소기업분야(中小企業分野)의 산업조정(産業調整)이 시장기능(市場機能)에 의하여 점진적으로 진행되도록 유도(誘導) 지원(支援)을 강화하는 것이다.

This paper aims to examine the characteristics of social enterprises in Jinju City, Korea and to provide policy recommendations for promoting the competitiveness of local social enterprises. There are 11 social enterprises in Jinju City that are certified by central and local governments. The survey shows that the majority of social enterprises in Jinju City are based on the local community and their activities are public in nature, including supporting the self-reliance of local under-privileged class or contributing to local socio-economic development. However, it is also revealed that local social enterprises have a great deal of difficulty in making a profit. Particularly, they have much trouble with sales of their services and products, largely due to the vulnerability of marketing and financial ability. This means that the local social enterprises are not capable of being viable in a severe market competition. Thus I suggest some important policy recommendation for invigorating local social enterprises, including the reform of governance system, expansion of public purchase of the products made by local social enterprises, and the facilitation of inter-organizational networking among local social economy agents.

일본(日本)이 선진국(先進國) 추급(追及)을 국민적(國民的) 노력(努力)으로 추구하여 옴에 있어 이를 뒷받침한 일본(日本)의 사회조직적(社會組織的) 특성(特性)은 적응적(適應的) 집단주의(集團主義)로서 기업에 국한하여 보더라도 경영제도(經營制度) 기업간관계(企業間關係)의 제측면(諸側面)에 나타나 있다. 그러나 경제성장과 함께 진행된 인구구조(人口構造) 기술(技術) 및 산업(産業) 의식구조(意識構造)의 변화(變化)는 일본(日本)의 경제사회를 움직여 온 전통적인 제도 및 조직의 논리와 운동양식(運動樣式)의 한계를 드러내고 있다. 한편 일본(日本)의 경제선진화(經濟先進化)가 실질적으로 끝남과 동시에 일본(日本)을 중심대상(中心對象)으로 하는 국제경제(國際經濟)의 구조적(構造的) 질서적(秩序的) 재편성(再編成)이 촉구되고 있다. 일본(日本)은 이러한 전환기에 직면하여 국내외적으로 발상(發想)과 행동(行動)의 근본적(根本的)인 변화를 시도하고 있으며, 일본(日本)의 장래(將來)는 이것의 성공 여부에 달려 있다고 할 수 있다. 이는 특히 한(韓) 미(美) 일(日) 관계의 전개 및 우리나라의 발전방향(發展方向)에도 큰 의미를 갖는 것이며, 일본(日本) 경제사회(經濟社會)의 동인(動因)을 이해하려는 것은 이러한 관점에서 매우 중요한 것이다.
