최근 몇 년간 정보보호가 사회적 이슈로 자리 잡았다. 사회적 이슈라는 단어가 일반인들에게는 정보보호와 관련된 사건 사고로 이해될 수 있겠지만, 기업의 관점에서는 정보보호와 관련된 법률과 규제에 대한 대응의 다른 이름이기도 하다. 정보보호는 비즈니스 측면에서 예상치 못한 비용을 발생시킬 수 있으며, 소비자와 기업 간 분쟁의 원인이 되는 하나의 리스크가 된다. 이 리스크를 차단하거나 줄이기 위한 가장 효과적인 방법은 기업 스스로의 자발적인 노력이 전제되어야 한다. 그런 면에서 CJ인터넷 보안팀은 '자발적 노력'이라는 단어가 참 잘 어울리는 곳이다.

Using 8,499 observations from 5 years-1,878 firms panel data during 2014 to 2018 in Korean stock exchanges, this study examines the impact of National Pension's ownership on corporate philanthropic giving. The empirical study finds that National Pension's ownership has positive relations with the extent of corporate philanthropic giving in terms of the amounts per employee, the expenditures with respect to total asset and total sales, implying that National Pension plays a monitoring role in promoting target firms to increase the extent of corporate philanthropic giving, which lead to increase in target firms' long-term values. The empirical study also finds that when National Pension is a blockholder holding more than 5% ownership in the target firms, it has positive relations with the extent of corporate philanthropic giving in terms of the amounts per employee, the expenditures with respect to total asset, implying that it exercises disciplinary roles on focal firms in promoting the extent of corporate philanthropic giving in order to increase target firms' long-term values. The results overall support that National Pension plays positive effects on target firms in promoting the extent of corporate philanthropic giving, which lead to increase in target firms' long-term values.

기업의 전통적인 역할은 "이익 추구"였다. 현대 사회에 이르러서는 기업이 기존의 역할을 벗어나 새로운 사회적 기구가 되어야 한다는 주장이 떠오르며 CSR(기업의 사회적 책임)이 대두되었다. 최근 기업과 사회는 ESG 경영(환경, 사회, 지배구조를 고려한 지속가능경영)에 많은 관심을 보이고 있고 이는 더 이상 관심으로 그칠 수 없는 필수적인 요소가 되었다. 이에 본 연구는 텍스트 마이닝을 통해 ESG 지표를 개발하고 [ESG 지표 - 주가]의 상관관계를 도출하였다.

With regards to CSR, Proactive CSR has been less researched in small & medium enterprises(SMEs). This research examines empirically the relation between SME's organizational capabilities, proactive CSR and corporate performance as well as a mediating role of proactive CSR between capabilities and corporate performance. Using quantitative data collected from 485 SMEs in Korea, we find that all specified capabilities are positively related with adoption of proactive CSR by SMEs and that proactive CSR is, in turn, associated with an improvement in corporate performance. In addition, we also find a mediating role of proactive CSR on the relationship between organizational capabilities and performance. The study is likely to contribute to both SMEs CSR strategy and RBV research.

This study empirically derives the factors affecting the practice of corporate social responsibility (CSR) of venture firms in Korea from the perspective of Slack Resource Theory and the company's growth strategy, and provides implications for future expansion of venture firm's CSR activities. In Korea, venture firms have grown into important players in the national economy since the late 1990s through social contributions such as economic value creation, job creation, and technological development. As venture companies grow in status, positive relationships with stakeholders and responsibility for environmental and social values are required. Now, CSR is becoming an important strategic choice for SMEs and venture firms. However, until now, CSR-related academic research has mainly focused on large or listed corporations, and there is not much research on SMEs or venture firms. In particular, research on the factors that lead venture companies to make important business decisions of participating in CSR activities is not there yet. This study applied logistic multiple regression analysis using the '2023 Survey on Venture Firms' conducted by the Ministry of SMEs and Startups. As a result of this study, operating profit, which is an available resources of venture companies, and government support, which is a potential resource, have a positive impact on venture firms's CSR activities. Also, business relationships with large corporations and expectation for future cooperation also have a positive impact on CSR activities as the determinants. On the other hand, it was analyzed that in venture firms where ownership and management are not separated, the higher the CEO's shareholding ratio, the more negatively it affects CSR activities. This study contributes academically as the first empirical study on the determinants of CSR activities of venture firms in Korea and provides implications that government policy support and collaboration between large corporations and venture firms are important in order to expand CSR activities of venture firms.
