The main purpose of this study is to improve the understanding of the failures of venture companies. The study attempts to analyze the causes and the processes of venture failures and the different paths that led to such failures. For the research, 116 firms registered with the Korea Venture Business Association in 1997 were surveyed and traced in 2000. A questionnaire was sent to 105 companies that were operating at the time and 76 of them returned responses. In 2008, the 76 companies were re-traced, and it was found that 41 of them had failed while 35 survived. Through this process, a set of longitudinal data was gathered about the changes in strategies, environments, and organizational structures. Accordingly, t-test and ANOVA analysis were performed on the different causes and processes of venture failures, as well as the taxonomy according to the changes in circumstances. Empirical findings can be summarized as follows. Venture companies failed due to various reasons and there were very different failing processes. In addition, this study found that various failing paths existed among failed venture companies and different factors affected company failures. Considering these findings, this research is clearly advanced and can be distinguished from other existing researches in terms of the dynamic understanding of the failures of venture companies.

본 연구는 서비스 접점에서 서비스 실패가 일어나는 경우 기업의 복구노력이 고객의 만족에 마치는 영향에 관한 연구이다. 먼저 서비스 실패에 대한 기업의 복구노력이 갖는 의미를 살펴보고, 서비스 복구노력이 고객의 만족과정에 어떻게 영향을 미치는 지에 대하여 항공산업을 연구대상으로 기대불일치이론, 정당성이론 및 귀인이론을 적용하여 다양한 관점에서 실증 분석하였다. 특히 기대불일치이론 및 정당성이론에 관한 선행 연구들을 상세히 고찰하고, 이러한 이론적 관점에서 서비스 실패 후 기업의 복구노력이 고객의 만족과정에 어떻게 영향을 미치는 지를 다중회귀분석 및 구조방정식 모형을 이용하여 실증 분석하였다. 또한 조직행동론의 연구결과를 이용하여 서비스 실패에 대한 귀인적 추론결과가 소비자의 만족과정에 미치는 영향을 검증하였다

Students' creative ability has become the one of important educational goals recently. Beliefs that students can grow intellectually is a key principle in creativity education. In recently, researchers have focused on learners' failure as a way for promoting creativity in schools. They start look into the ways in which learning failures are connected to creativity. Recent studies such as Kapur(2008) demonstrated that learners' failure experiences enable students to create novel solutions to solve problems to go beyond memorizing facts or knowledge. This paper discussed strategies that students or teachers can utilize learning failures to produce positive educational outcomes and also suggested some caveats when learning failures are introduced to a classroom. Specifically, learners should avoid any pre-existing frames of thoughts to create new alternatives to solve problems. Second, teachers or students should be allowed to explore content areas freely without having any risks of academic punishment. In addition, this paper also discussed possible negative results of early experiencing learning failures regards to negative emotion. Especially, experiencing continuous failures can bring students to learned helplessness. This paper discussed how to avoid this negative consequences. Related with negative emotional effects of failures, teacher or students should be careful in the earlier stage of learning processes to avoid learning failures. Lastly, this paper also suggested that minimizing fears related with learning failures and promoting failure tolerance so that students have motivation to overcome learning failures.

This study explored types of failure encountered by elementary school students during the engineering design process and how they coped with them. To achieve this goal, we developed and taught engineering design lessons on water shortages to four fourth-grade classes, observing and interviewing seven focus groups. Our analysis revealed that student failures can be categorized into two main types: those caused by cognitive factors and those influenced by environmental factors. While cognitive failures are typically within students' control, environmental factors are beyond their reach. Our findings also showed that students tended to avoid discussing the root causes of failure and instead relied on ad hoc solutions. Additionally, some students lowered their expectations for success to avoid failure. Based on our findings, we offer practical recommendations for educators to help students learn from their failures in a constructive manner.

Research about business failure was focused on finding the reason of bankruptcy. This research tries to analyze reason and pattern of entrepreneurial failure. Based on 20 entrepreneurial failure cases, we figure out the reason of entrepreneurial failure, utilizing liability of newness and ERIS model. We find that start-up firms in Korea have liability of newness, such as lack of managerial capability, failure of R&D/commercialization, and difficulty of securing marketing channel. Also, we typologize 4 kind of entrepreneurial failure - Lack of preparation of business, failure of resource mobilization, absence of strategy, and failure of marketing.

본 연구에서는 우리나라 교육의 근본적인 문제를 학교교육의 저효율과 시험 위주의 교육왜곡이라는 두 가지 문제로 파악하는 한편, 과열된 과외, 치열한 입시경쟁, 미흡한 교육투자 등을 핵심문제로 보는 기존의 시각을 비판하였다. 또한 우리는 학교교육의 저효율과 시험 위주의 교육왜곡이 '교육실패'라고 부를 수 있을 정도로 매우 심각한 수준에 도달하였다는 것을 실증적 근거를 통하여 보여주고자 하였다. 본고에서는 우리의 교육실패에 대한 원인으로서 중앙정부의 교육부와 지방교육자치단체인 교육청이 우리 교육의 거의 모든 과정을 일일이 규제하고 통제함으로써 교육주체들의 유인(incentive)을 빼앗아가고 있는 점에 주목하였다. 우리의 교육실패는 교육부문에서의 정부실패라는 점을 강조하였다. 이러한 시각에서, 1980년의 교육개혁은 정부규제를 오히려 강화하여 문제를 해결하고자 하였다는 측면에서 실패한 개혁이며, 1995년의 개혁은 방향 설정은 제대로 되었으나 실행과정에서 많은 문제가 있었음을 지적하였다. 또한 향후 교육개혁의 방향으로 보다 과감한 규제완화(deregulation)와 분권화(decentralization)를 제시하였다. 구체적인 정책 대안으로는, 대학의 학생선발의 완전한 자유화, 시 도 교육청의 시 도청 관할로의 통폐합, 자립형 사립중고등학교 및 탈규제학교제도의 도입, 교원인사제도의 개혁, 과외에 대한 정부규제의 철폐 등을 건의하였다.

This paper presents that in the Russian Revolution 1) socialist and alternative democratic conceptions between Marx and Lenin are very different, 2) the process and cause of failure of realizing Lenin's democratic alternative conception, 3) the interactive expansion process of the party and the state, 4) the failing process of socialist original accumulation, collectivization, and constructing planned economy. This shows that Russia could not help fail to transit to socialist society due to the combination of wrong conceptions and that new revolution and construction should combine right socialist and democratic conceptions.

Usually, Technological failures have been recognized as a mundane and inevitable process of trial and error for finally achieving success, or pathological technologies clearly different from success. These approaches easily ignore that a failed technology also constructed complex technological networks with various actors for some times. Consequently, failed technologies failed not only technological realization, but also got a proper evaluation. This paper explore the emergence and decline of the city phone project (CT-2 technology), the very typical failure cases in the telecommunications industry at Korea. This story shows that the city phone project with low-price and low-technology could constructed a stable network at agreement the result from interaction between various actors, and then, changed because various actors gave technologies different meaning and desire. Finally, it suggests that collapse of its technological network was attributed to uncertain future and contingent, rather than technological limits.

내가 유학하고 있던 동경대학 발효학연구실에서의 일이다. 석사과정 때는 '미생물에 의한 비타민 A생산'이란 연구과제로, 또 박사과정에선 '치즈를 만드는데 필요한 송아지 rennet를 미생물이 생산하는 효소로 대치하는 연구'로 실험에 몰두했지만 거듭된 실패의 연속으로 나는 많은 어려움을 겪었다. 그러나 끈질긴 도전으로 획기적인 연구결과를 얻게 되어 그 연구개발경험을 소개한다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of the experiences of productive failures on students' mathematical problem solving abilities and mathematical dispositions. The experiment was conducted with two groups. The treatment group was applied with the productive mathematics failure program, and the comparative group was taught with traditional mathematics lessons. In this study, for quantitative analysis, the students were tested their understanding of mathematical concepts, mathematical reasoning abilities, students' various strategies and mathematical dispositions before and after using the program. For qualitative analysis, the researchers analyzed the discussion processes of the students, students's activity worksheets, and conducted interviews with selected students. The results showed the followings. First, use of productive failures showed students' enhancement in problem solving abilities. Second, the students who experienced productive failures positively affected the changes in students' mathematical dispositions. Along with the more detailed research on productive mathematical failures, the research results should be included in the development of mathematics textbooks and teaching and learning mathematics.
