While previous studies and publications all assert a strong correlation between company's business plan and performance, very few have actually conducted practical analyses to support that. This study takes a practical approach in its analysis of Korean small and mid-sized enterprises(SME) with the view to finding an answer to the question. In addition, with the considerations of entrepreneur type and company's development stage, I analyzed the differences of business plan components' effects on performances. I selected business plan's components, which have been suggested only in theory and in concept, through the literature review and preliminary examination. Corporate performances were the recent improvements of ROS, ROA, market share and the number of employees to measure how greatly each is impacted by the components of a business plan. Results show that business plan components have influenced upon the number of employees. The business plan components discriminated superior company group and inferior company group properly. Especially, finance & related system and advertising & distribution factors showed statistically significant classification forecasting power. Technical/Craftsman evaluated the effects of producing & sales and profit & quality factors high and General/Opportunistic evaluated the effects of finance & related system, advertising & distribution, corporate mission factors high. The effect of corporate mission was highest among company development stages. Finance & related system and advertising & distribution factors showed the statistically significant difference in entrepreneur type and company development stages.

The purpose of this research was to figure out how technology management activities are needed to survive in a rapidly changing business environment and how technology management activities affect company performance. First, Hypothesis 1 was partially adopted that Technology management activities will have a positive influence on management outcomes. Second, Hypothesis 2 was partially adopted that Innovation activities of firms will have mediating effects on the relationship between technology management activities and management outcomes. If the research subjects are expanded nationwide and divided into manufacturing industry, non - manufacturing industry, small and medium enterprise and large enterprise, it will be meaningful from academic point of view and practical point of view.

This study examines one of the conventional and controversial issues in modern finance. Specifically, this study identifies financial determinants of corporate R&D intensity for firms belonging to Korean Chaebols. Empirical estimation procedures are applied to derive more robust results of each hypothesis test. Static panel data, Tobit regression and stepwise regression models are employed to obtain significant financial factors of R&D expenditures, while logit, probit and complementary log-log regression models are used to detect financial differences between Chaebol firms and their counterparts not classified as Chaebols. Study results found the level of R&D intensity in the prior fiscal year, market-value based leverage ratio and firm size empirically showed their significance to account for corporate R&D intensity in the first hypothesis test, whereas the majority of explanatory variables had important power on a relative basis. Assuming that the current circumstances in the domestic capital market may necessitate gradual changes of Korean Chaebols in terms of their socio-economic function, the results of this study are expected to contribute to identifying financial antecedents that can be beneficial to attain optimal level of corporate R&D expenditures for Chaebol firms on a virtuous cycle.

This study investigates how the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) performance of a firm is associated with its financial performance in the stock market. Prior studies provide mixed evidence on the relation between CSR and financial performance. This study sheds some lights on the positive effect of CSR on firms' financial performance. Using a unique set of data on CSR performance of Korean firms provided by Morgan Stanley Capital International (MCSI), we find that firms' CSR performance is positively associated with their contemporaneous stock returns and Tobin's Q in the Korean market. This finding suggests that stock market participants value firms' CSR activities. This is the first study that provides empirical evidence on the existence of the positive association between the CSR performance of Korean firms and their financial performance using MCSI data which is considered more reliable than the data used in the prior CSR studies in Korea.

This paper analyzes how corporate product innovation affects firms' revenue and financial stability, and thereby draws the implications for the corporate strategy for sustainable growth. Corporate product innovation is defined as the development of new products within the firm, including bought-in products. Corporate revenue is measured by per capita sales and its growth rate, while financial stability is measured by debt-to-equity ratio and liquidity ratio. In the empirical analysis, the two-stage estimation method was used to control for the endogeneity of new product development. The data are drawn from the first (2005) to the sixth (2015) wave of the Human Capital Corporate Panel (HCCP) Survey, which are matched to the data from the Korea Investors Service (KIS). The results of the first-stage estimation indicate that product innovation of the firm is promoted by the firm's knowledge capital stock, human resources investment, and market-leading strategy. The second-stage estimation results indicate a positive relationship between the firm's level of activity in product innovation and short-term revenue (per capita sales and its growth), and financial stability (lower debt-to-equity ratio and higher liquidity ratio). These findings confirm that the firm's investment in technology innovation and subsequent product innovation are important strategies to enhance both short-term corporate revenue and long-term financial stability.

This study investigates the effect of risk avoiding activities and characteristic of venture capital on the financial performance of invested companies. Based on the review on the literature, we present staged financing, syndicated investment and preferred stock investment as the measurements for risk avoiding activities. Types and age of venture capital were chosen as the variables for characteristic. The financial performance data of the invested companies was derived from their publicly announced yearly financial report. Data were analysed using logistic regression technique. The result show that syndicated investment and independent venture capital have positive influence on the growth of sales revenue and asset of the invested companies. Age of venture capital appears to be positively associated with growth of sales revenue. Staged financing and preferred stock investment, however, have no impact on any financial growth and profitability. Activities and characteristic of venture capital show no influence on the profitability.

한국 종합주가지수는 한국증권거래소에 상장된 모든 기업들의 가치 가중치에 의한 포트폴리오의 가격의 시계열이라고 할 수 있다. 따라서 이 지수는 한국 경제의 현재의 활동과 미래의 활동에 대한 예상의 총합의 반영 또는 표상을 표현하는 정보라 할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 시차변수가 독립변수로 도입될 수도 있으며, 시차변수가 아닌 변수가 독립변수로 도입되는 것이 허용되는 회귀모형을 통하여 구조변화의 회수와 구조변환점을 검정할 수 있는 통계량과 이 통계량의 확률분포를 분석하고 한국 종합주가지수에 적용하여 한국 종합주가 지수의 일별수익률에 구조변화가 발생하였는지의 여부와 발생했다면 발생회수와 변환점들을 발견하는데 그 목적이 있다. 한국 종합주가지수의 일별수익률은 분산의 변화 그리고 평균 및 분산의 동시변화가 1997년 9월 27일에 발생하였다. 자기회귀모형에 의할 때 증권시장의 구조변화는 1999년 11월 16일에 이루어졌다. 평균과 분산의 변화가 일어나 구조변화의 단계를 시작하고 구조변화에 알맞는 환경조성에 2년이 소요된 후에 1999년 11월 16일에 구조변화가 정착되었다. 정착이 이루어진 후에야 비로서 이 두 기간은 서로 다른 경제구조와 증권시장구조가 이루어지고 이에 입각하여 시장의 새로운 운동법칙이 전개되고 있다고 할 수 있을 것이다.

본 논문은 대리이론에서 대리계약기간이 시간적 차원에서 대리비용을 통제할 수 있는 중요한 요인이라는 점에 착안하여 연구를 수행한 것이다. 구체적으로는 우리나라에서의 대리계약기간을 조사하고 실증적인 방법으로 대리계약기간을 결정하는 요인을 찾아보았다. 그 결과 우리나라에서 대리계약기간을 결정하는 요인은 성과적 변수보다 대리적 변수가 훨씬 높은 통계적 유의성을 갖는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과를 통해서 우리나라 기업들의 대리문제 해결양태를 정리할 수 없었는데 주로 내부승진 경영자, 친인척 경영자, 동일지역출신 경영자 등 인적요인을 통해서 대리문제를 해결하려는 것으로 파악되었다. 대리문제해결을 위한 이러한 방법들의 유효성을 보기 위해서 다음 단계 우리나라 기업에서 대리비용의 존재여부를 실증적으로 확인하였다. 대리비용으로 과소투자의 가능성에 대해서 분석한 결과는 우리나라에서 대리계약기간의 장단에 따른 대리비용은 존재하지 않는 것으로 나타나서 우리나라 기업들이 사용하고 있는 대리문제의 통제방법은 유효하다고 추정할 수 있었다.
