4차산업혁명시대 산업분야가 IT 기반의 촉진자(Enabler)분야와 기존산업 중심의 수용자(Adopter) 분야로 이원화되어 추진되고 있다. 특히, 기존의 제조업 중심 중견기업들은 4차산업혁명시대 이에 대한 필요성과 중요성을 중요하지만 자신들의 주력산업 기반으로 4차산업혁명 분야 신사업을 추진하는데 한계를 보이고 있고, 특히 촉진자 분야인 Enabler 분야는 진입을 어려워하며, 결국 수용자 중심의 인더스트리 4.0 중심으로 진행할 수밖에 없어 4차산업혁명시대 큰 부가가치 창출의 신사업 마련에 어려움을 겪고 있다. 또한 IT중심의 창업초기 기업들은 4차산업혁명분야 촉진자 분야에 진입이 왕성하게 이루어지고 있다. 그러나 창업기업은 빠른성장인 스케일업 관점에서 보면 비용과 시간차원에서 상당한 난항을 겪고 있다. 이런 상황에서, 본 논문은 창업기업중심의 4차산업혁명 촉진자분야와 중견기업중심의 4차산업 수용자 분야간에 시너지적 협업을 유도하는 방안을 제시하고 있다.

올해 정책자금 운영규모는 3조2075억원으로 지난해보다 2.3% 증가했다. 특히 기술혁신형 창업 및 성장초기 기업육성을 위해 '창업 및 개발기술사업화자금(1조4000억원)'을 지난해보다 2200억원 늘렸고, 개발기술사업화자금(2580억원)도 1000억원 늘렸다. 올해부터 정책자금의 배분전략이 그간의 "Negative시스템(특정산업을 제외한 모든산업지원방식)"에서 '전략산업'을 종점 지원하는 방식인 "Positive시스템"으로 전환된다. 중기청은 특히, 녹색 신성장동력 산업 등 성장 가능성이 큰 7대 전략산업에 정책자금의 70%인 2조2천억원을 집중 투입할 계획이다. 이에 따라 태양전지 LED응용 IT융합 고부가식품산업(녹색 신성장동력산업), 금형 등에 정책자금이 집중 지원될 것으로 보인다. 이와 함께 우량기업 및 한계기업을 지원대상에서 제외하고 동일기업에 대한 편중지원을 제한하는 등 정책목적성을 대폭 강화할 예정이다. 자체 신용으로 민간금융 이용이 가능하나 저금리 혜택을 위해 정책자금을 이용하는 우량기업 및 생명연장식 한계기업 등에 대한 지원을 배제하고, 절감된 재원(약 3,000억원)은 전략산업의 창업초기기업에 종점 지원할 계획이다. 자세한 사항 및 정책자금 신청 희망기업은 중소기업진흥공단 홈페이지(www.sbc.or.kr) '정책자금 융자도우미'를 통해 신청요건 및 추천자금 등을 자가진단 후 신청하면 된다.

최근 대학을 기반으로 한 스타트업 육성 정책 및 학생 스타트업의 초기 시장 진입을 위한 엑셀러레이팅 프로그램은 매년 증가하고 있으나, 스타트업의 성공적인 투자 유치 사례는 부족하다. 많은 투자 성공 결정 요인 중 기존 선행연구를 통해 새로운 벤처의 투자 여부를 결정할 때 기업가와 관련된 요소들이 연구되었으나, 투자자와 기업가 사이에 형성되는 투자 결정 과정에 대한 연구가 부족하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는SEED 단계의 세 번의 투자를15개의 질문을 통해 분석하여 투자 성공에 가중치를 주는 3가지 요인을 (팀 역량, 보유 기술 역량, 심사역과의 관계) 찾아냈으며, 투자 진행 정도에 따라 인지(Awareness), 알아감(Knowing), 유치(Meeting)로 나누어 각 단계에서 전략적인 경영자의 행동이 투자에 미치는 영향에 대해 분석했다. 학생 기술 창업자들 중 40억이상 투자 받은 기업은 드물다. 이는 학생 창업자들의 투자 유치에 필요한 구체적인 메뉴얼이 부족하기 때문이라고 생각한다. 모든 학생 창업가들이 '(주)레티널'의 성공사례와 유사할 수는 없지만, 유사한 환경에서 창업을 하고 있는 사례를 구체적으로 분석한 본 사례를 통해 학생들의 투자 유치시 구체적인 전략을 수립하는데 도움을 줄 것이라고 시대한다. 또한 대학 창업의 투자 성공률을 높이는데 기여할 수 있을 것이라고 생각된다.

Startup accelerators have emerged as new investment entities that help early startups, which are not easy to survive continuously due to lack of funds, commercialization capabilities, and experiences. As their positive performance on early startups and the ecosystem has been proven, the number of early startups which want to receive their investment is also increasing. However, they are vaguely preparing to attract accelerators' investment because they do not have any information on what factors the accelerators consider important. In addition, researches on startup accelerators are also at an early level, so there are no remarkable prior studies on factors that decide on investment. Therefore, this study aims to help startups prepare for investment attraction by looking at what factors are important for accelerators to invest, and to provide meaningful implications to academia. In the preceding study, we derived five upper level categories, 26 lower level accelerators' investment determinants through the qualitative meta-synthesis method, secondary data analysis, observation on US accelerators and in-depth interviews. In this study, we want to derive important implications by deriving priorities of the accelerators' investment determinants. Therefore, we used AHP that are evaluated as the suitable methodology for deriving importance and priority. The analysis results show that accelerators value market-related factors most. This means that startups that are subject to investment by accelerators are early-stage startups, and many companies have not fully developed their products or services. Therefore, market-related factors that can be evaluated objectively seem to be more important than products (or services) that are still ambiguous. Next, it was found that the factors related to the internal workforce of startups are more important. Since accelerators want to develop their businesses together with start-ups and team members through mentoring, ease of collaboration with them is very important, which seems to be important. The overall priority analysis results of the 26 investment determinants show that 'customer needs' and 'founders and team members' understanding of customers and markets' (0.62) are important and high priority factors. The results also show that startup accelerators consider the customer-centered perspective very important. And among the factors related to startups, the most prominent factor was the founder's openness and execution ability. Therefore, it can be confirmed that accelerators consider the ease of collaboration with these startups very important.

The Korean government has selected job creation policy as first goal in order to overcome the recession and response of 4th industrial revolution. Technology based start up is worth noting in order to job creation. Because the ripple effect of technology based start up is higher than self-employment. Therefore, the government and the private sector conduct various policies and services for the vitalization of technology based start up. In order for technology based start up to be successful, it is necessary to maximize personal (founder) capacity. In this study, the correlation between "features of personal (motivation, capability, experience, entrepreneurship)", "competitiveness of company" and "corporate performance" was analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM). Also, in this study analyzed the differences between 2 groups based on the career of CEO (work for government funded research institutes VS the others). This study can be utilized when policy making and practice about technology based start-up.

This study is aim to explore the key variables that can improve the relationship between mentor-mentee fit and the relationship of mentor-mentee fit as a prerequisite in improving entrepreneurial intention. In addition, the mediating effect of entrepreneurship was verified in the process of mentee-mentor suitability inducing entrepreneurial will. To verify this, a survey was conducted on per-founders and early founders. The results of this study are as follows. First, in relation to the measures to improve the entrepreneurial will, mentor-mentee suitability was verified to have a positive effect on entrepreneurial will through entrepreneurship. Second, it was verified that mentor-mentee fit had a positive effect on the formation of entrepreneurship; third, entrepreneurship could have a direct effect on the intention of entrepreneurship. This study suggests that the more mentor-mentee fits entrepreneurs, the better the level of entrepreneurship. In addition, high level of entrepreneurship can play a role in further promoting the will to start a business.

This study aims to empirically examine serial entrepreneurship in Korea. Using the ICT startups survey data, I compare serial entrepreneurs with their novice counterparts in terms of business behaviors and performances. I found that serial entrepreneurs are more likely than novice ones to co-found a business with other entrepreneurs, enter a market with relatively large assets and expand their business into overseas market. They tend to put more importance on large-scale production and expansion strategy than first-time entrepreneurs. They are more likely to cooperate with suppliers and customers but less likely with the governments. From their experience of founding and operating businesses, the findings suggest that serial entrepeneurs are more market-oriented and more capable of managing internal human relations and external network of supply chain. Consequently, serial entrepreneurs show stronger early financial performance than novice entrepreneurs especially when they team up to found a business.
