This study analyzed the effects of corporate dynamic capabilities on enterprise performance by using ambidextrous innovation activities as mediators, focusing on SME employees. The sub-variables of dynamic capabilities were divided into opportunity exploration capability, resource acquisition capability, and resource reconstruction capability. 282 questionnaires collected from small and medium-sized enterprises residing in the metropolitan area were used for empirical analysis. SPSS v22.0 and Process macro v3.4 were used to analyze the parallel multiple mediation model. First, the results of the analysis showed that opportunity exploration capability, resource acquisition capability had a positive (+) effect on the ambidextrous innovation activities, and the effect of resource reconstruction capability on ambidextrous innovation activities was not significant. Second, the ambidextrous innovation activities had a significant effect on the enterprise performance. Third, it was found that opportunity exploration capability and resource acquisition capability had a positive (+) effect on enterprise performance, and the effect of resource reconstruction capability on enterprise performance was not significant. Fourth, the ambidextrous innovation activity mediated the relationship between opportunity exploration capability and enterprise performance. Fifth, the ambidextrous innovation activity mediated the relationship between resource acquisition capability and enterprise performance. Sixth, the ambidextrous innovation activity did not mediate the resource reconstruction capability and the enterprise performance. As a follow-up study, it is necessary to find third mediators besides the mediators used in this study, analyze the serial mediation model through these, and study for the moderated mediation analysis through the conditional process model in which the moderator is introduced.

'양손잡이 조직(Organizational Ambidexterity)'은 새로운 기회를 찾고 위험을 감수하며, 신제품이나 신사업을 개발해 가는 탐색(Exploration) 역량과, 최소한의 리스크와 보유한 자원을 토대로 기존 제품이나 서비스를 중심으로 효율성을 높이는 활용(Exploitation)적 혁신을 동시에 추구하는 조직의 능력으로 경영자들이 비즈니스 환경의 난기류와 다차원성에 대처하도록 권고하는 개념들 중 하나이다. 본 연구는 스타트업의 양손잡이 역량 균형이 기업 성과에 미치는 영향에 대한 연구를 기반으로 양손잡이 역량이 실제 스타트업에 긍정적으로 영향을 미치는 지를 조사하는데 목적으로 하고 있다. 따라서 탐색(Exploration)과 활용(Exploitation)의 적절한 균형(Balance)을 중심으로 기업성과에 미치는 영향과 더불어 환경적 동태성(Environmental Dynamics)의 조절효과에 대하여 알아보고 분석하였다. 실제로 선행 연구를 통해 탐색(Exploration)과 활용(Exploitation)에 모두 관여하는 양손잡이 기업들이 하나에 집중하는 기업보다 우수한 성과를 달성할 가능성이 높은 것으로 나타났으며, 탐색(Exploration)과 활용(Exploitation)의 적절한 균형(Balance)을 유지하는 것이 생존과 번영을 위해 중요한 것으로 나타났다. 특히, 자원이 부족한 스타트업의 경우 부족한 자원을 효과적으로 활용하고 양방향으로 행동할 수 있는 능력은 경영 능력과 역량에 달려 있기 때문에 지속적인 생존을 위해 탐색과 활용의 균형을 맞추고 효과적인 조직을 구축해 양손잡이 조직으로 거듭나야만 한다. 양손잡이 조직에 대한 연구 이론은 보통 여유 자원이 높은 대기업을 기준으로 정의되고 있으며, 상대적으로 여유 자원의 수준이 낮은 중소기업이나 스타트업을 위한 양손잡이 조직의 의미와 이러한 기업들이 추구할 수 있는 현실적인 실행방안에 대해서는 연구가 부족한 실정이다. 따라서, 본 연구는 실제 스타트업 기업의 성장을 위한 전략적 방향 설정을 제시할 수 있으며, 급격하게 변화하는 시장에서 스타트업의 양손잡이 역량과 기업성과 영향 관계를 분석하여 학술적인 기여를 할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

The government is actively implementing a start-up infrastructure and start-up support policy for successful start-up companies. However, the actual success rate of start-up companies is not high. In order to improve the performance of a start-up company, it is necessary to have a strategy that has the right entrepreneurship and efficiently utilizes its resources. In particular, opportunity exploration, resource acquisition and resource reorganization are dynamic capabilities that are very necessary for the growth of a start-up company. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to verify the effects and relationships of entrepreneurship and dynamic competence of business startups on management performance. For this study, a survey was conducted on CEOs of start-up companies less than seven years old, and 361 final samples were used to analyze data. The results of this study are as follows. The innovation, risk-taking and initiative of entrepreneurship were found to have a positive effect on dynamic capabilities. Second, the innovation and risk-taking of entrepreneurship had a significant positive effect on management performance, but initiative was found to have no significant effect. Third, it was found that dynamic capabilities had a significant positive effect on management performance. Lastly, the verification of the mediated effect of dynamic capabilities showed that there was a mediated effect between initiative and management performance. In other words, this study found a significant research result that effective management of the resources of a start-up company had an effect on management performance and growth when forwardness did not directly affect management performance. This suggests that dynamic capabilities are an important factor in the management performance of start-up companies.

This study analyzes the entrepreneurship education phenomena for agri-food entrepreneurs whose main business is the production of agricultural products and the sale of processed products, using the qualitative study Strauss & Corbin(1998)'s evidence theory approach. From the entrepreneur's point of view, I would like to summarize the phenomena that appear in education, and to prepare a theoretical basis for explaining the phenomena. The importance of entrepreneurship education is emphasized to cultivate the ability to develop and provide products tailored to customers. The necessity of education leads to an increase in demand according to the situational awareness of the founders, and the quantitative increase in entrepreneurship education in the agri-food sector is a clear trend. Inevitably, the need for various discussions on systematic and effective entrepreneurship education is raised. For the study, an interview was conducted with preliminary or entrepreneur who have experienced entrepreneurship education in the agri-food sector. As a research method, I use Strauss & Corbin(1998)'s approach and analyze qualitative data using QSR's NVIVO 12 program. Through this study, it was found that contextual and systematic entrepreneurship education in the agri-food sector has the effect of strengthening competitiveness and strengthening sales. There is a need for follow-up management of trainees. Strengthening the competitiveness of start-ups is based on training professional manpower through education and linking regions with cities. Strengthening sales is based on product planning and market development. This study explores entrepreneurship education in the agri-food sector, which has not been actively conducted in the past. Exploratory analysis on the experiences of the founders of agri-food sector as education demanders has an important meaning for understanding the phenomenon of start-up education.

혁신에 관한 많은 연구들이 혁신의 공급 측면에 초점을 맞춰 진행되어 왔으나, 본 연구에서는 혁신의 공급측면 대신 수요 측면에 초점을 맞춰 혁신 신뢰성에 영향을 미치는 요인을 탐색하고자 하였다. 문헌 연구를 통해 혁신 신뢰성에 영향을 미치는 요인으로 소비자의 연령과 소득수준, 개인적 네트워크, 기회인식, 역량 자신감을 선정하였다. 가설 검증을 위해 국내 2,000명의 설문 응답자를 기반으로 한 창업 분야의 글로벌 데이터베이스인 GEM 데이터를 이용하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 기업의 마케팅 활동의 효과성을 제고하는 데 실질적으로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

The components of digital entrepreneurship are innovativeness, proactiveness, risk-taking, desire for achievement, ability to identify digital business opportunities, digital technology utilization capability, digital operation process establishment capability, digital technology development capability, digital technology acceptance, information exchange, and cooperation network establishment, digital-based customer acquisition and management was presented. The importance and execution of success factors were measured through IPA analysis. The first quadrant(keep up the good work) includes proactiveness, ability to identify digital business opportunities, and ability to establish digital business processes. The second quadrant(concentrate here) includes innovativeness, digital technology development capability, and digital technology acceptance. The third quadrant(low priority) includes risk-taking, desire for achievement, digital technology utilization capacity, and digital-based customer acquisition and management. The fourth quadrant(possible overkill) includes information exchange and cooperation network establishment. This study is meaningful in that it presents the concept and components of digital entrepreneurship for digital entrepreneurs that can be applied in Korea.
