This paper investigated the difference in the employment effectiveness of foreign invested companies in Korea by investor ratio and CEO nationality. To analyze the relationship between employment growth and investment ratio, CEO nationalty, firm age, company size, analysis of variance and regression are employed. Investment ratio is classified into three groups: 1. 0%${\leq}100%$. CEO nationality is classified into three groups: '1' if the CEO nationality is Korean, '2' Korean and Foreign, '3' Foreign. Employment growth turned out to be lower in groups of investment ratio equal to or bigger than 50% than in group which has investment ratio smaller than 50%. and the employment effect was not different depending on the type of CEO. By analyzing the employment growth with respect to investment ratio type and CEO nationality theoretically and empirically, the effect of inward foreign direct investment on employment and its preparation plan can be considered. The policy implication is that investment ratio should be considered in the future employment policy.

Using 1795 observations from the 5 year-359 firm panel data collected during the period from 2009 to 2013 in Chinese stock exchanges, this study examines the impact of the controlling shareholders' ownership on R & D expenditure. This empirical study finds that when firms are state-owned, the controlling shareholders' ownership has a U shaped relation with the level of R & D expenses. A non-linear relation is also found when piece-wise regression models are applied. This empirical study also finds that when firms are private-owned, the controlling shareholders' ownership is negatively related to the level of R & D expenses, and no structural changes in the relation are found when piece-wise regression models are applied. These results support the hypothesis that the effects of the controlling shareholders' ownership on R & D expenses may differ depending on the ownership type of the controlling shareholders. This finding suggests that the differences in the controlling shareholders' incentives due to their ownership type should be considered when exploring the relation between the controlling shareholders' ownership and corporate strategic decisions.

This study was conducted to analyze firm survival rate and impact factors of survival of Foreign-invested Companies in Korea which is between 2006 and 2017. An empirical analysis of the survival factors of firms used explanatory variables such as characteristics of the and 3 firm dummy and 2 firm factors, financial variables of 3 profitability and 3 stability factors. The Kaplan-Meier method was chosen to perform analyses on the survival rates, Cox Proportional Hazard Model took to conduct on the impact factors. As a result of the impact factors of Foreign-invested Companies survival, Ownership (OS), Labour (NE ) of characteristics of the firm had positive effects. The Gross Sales Profit (GSP), Net Profit (NP ) and Operating Profit (OP ) of the financial characteristics had a positive effect. Additional Asset (LA ) had positive effects and Capital (LC), Debt (LB ) had a negative effect. Other factors did not produce significant results.

Using 1855 observations from 5 years-371 firms panel data during 2010 to 2014 in Chinese stock exchanges, this study examines the impact of managers' ownership on R & D expenditures. The empirical study finds that when firms are state-owned, managers' ownership have negative relation with the level of R & D expenses as well as the likelihood of executing R & D investment, implying that managers are less likely to invest in high risky projects due to managerial ownership's entrenchment effects to pursue private benefits rather than alignment of interest effect as shareholders. The empirical study also finds that when firms are private-owned, managerial ownership are inverse U shaped related to the level of R & D expenses, implying that managers are less likely to invest in high risky projects due to increasing risk aversion resulting from concentration of private wealth at its high level while managers are more likely to invest in high risky projects due to increasing incentives as shareholders at its low level. The results support that the effects of managerial ownership on R & D expenses may be different according to the ownership type of Chinese listed firms.

대주주들이 경영권을 직접 행사하고 있는 우리나라의 경영환경에서 기업의 의사결정은 대주주의 보유지분 정도에 따라 상당히 달라 질 수 있다. 즉, 소유경영자의 지분이 적으면 적을수록 경영자 자신의 이익과 전체 주주의 이익은 괴리되고 경영자의 경영상의 위험수용성(危險受容性)은 높아지게 된다. 이에 따라 내부지분율이 낮은 기업일수록 보다 높은 성장을 선호하고 위험성이 높은 투자대안을 선택할 가능성이 증대된다. 상기한 연구가설을 검정하기 위하여 94년부터 97년까지 4년간의 상장기업 자료를 이용하여 내부지분율과 부채비율, 그리고 성장률과의 관계를 분석하였다. 특히, 내부지분율을 포함하는 기업의 재무구조 다중회귀모형과 성장률의 다중회귀모형을 구축하여 내부지분율이 기업의 재무구조와 성장률에 대한 유의적인 설명력을 보유하고 없는지 여부를 검정하였다. 실증분석 결과는 내부지분율이 낮은 기업일수록 부채비율과 성장률이 상대적으로 높다는 연구가설을 일관성 있게 지지하고 있다. 이러한 연구결과는 정부의 기업정책에 대한 중요한 시사점을 던져주고 있다. 즉, 이제까지 기업들은 경영권에 대한 위협없이 내부지분율을 저하시킬 수 있었고, 이러한 상황에서 기업의 고부채, 고성장 전략은 소유경영자의 시각에서 볼 때는 극히 합리적인 것이었다. 하지만, 정부가 기업의 매수합병시장을 활성화시키면 많은 기업들은 경영권의 보호를 위해 내부지분율을 높이게 될 것이다. 이 경우 기업들은 보다 보수적인 경영을 하게 되어 부채비율은 낮아지고 과도한 성장정책은 지양될 것으로 예상된다. 따라서, 보다 건전한 기업경영을 유도하기 위해서는 내부지분율이 제고되어야 하고, 이를 위해서는 아직도 남아있는 매수합병의 장애요인들을 조속히 제거하는 것이 필요할 것이다.

This study was conducted to analyze firms' death rate and impact factors on the death of Foreign-invested Companies in Korea which is between 20013 and 2017. Cox Proportional Hazard Model took to conduct on the death impact factors, such as 2 characteristics factors of the firm, and 4 financial characteristics variables, variables, and 4 profitability factors. As a result of the impact factors of Foreign-invested Companies' death the Labour(NE) variables of characteristics firm had negative effects. And the Debt(LB), Operating Profit (OP), and Sales Profit (SP) of the financial characteristics had a negative effect. Other factors did not produce significant results. As a result of an empirically comparative analysis of the mortality rate of foreign-invested companies by the Kaplan-Meier method, it was analyzed that fully owned companies and large enterprises had lower extinction risk and greater sustainable management potential than joint ventures or SMEs.

The purpose of this study is to investigated the association between the percentage of common stock held by a company's CEO and measure firm performance in down and up markets. We found that managerial ownership is associated positively with firm performance. We also found that although firms with high insider ownership generally outperform other firms, this relationship is diminished in down markets and is increased in up market. These results suggest that investment strategies based on the assumption that high insider ownership is associated positively with financial performance may be faulty in declining market.

The objective of this paper is to analyze survival rate and factors of FDI(Foreign direct investment) using FDI data of Ministry of Knowledge and Economy. Kaplan-Meier estimation was used. The result was as follows. M&A of FDI was much more risk than Greenfield FDI. .FDI to the IT-service industry was much more risk than FDI to the manufacturing industry. Partnership under 50% was much more risk than partnership over 50%. The accumulated survival rate of M&A was higher then Greenfield until fourth period but was lower than Greenfield after fourth period. The accumulated survival rate of M&A was lower than others from the first period to last period. There was no difference between Partnership under 50% and partnership over 50% to 4th period. After 4th period, Accumulated survival rate of partnership under 50% was higher than accumulated survival partnership over 50%.

From the perspective of corporate governance, we examine the acquirers' performance of mergers and acquisitions. The empirical results of our study show that outside active shareholders, such as block shareholders or institutional shareholders, affect acquirers' performance in M&A's : the ownership of outside active shareholders is positively correlated with the performance of acquirers. However, the ownership of insiders, such as that of encumbent manners or major shareholders, does not have any significant effect on the performance of M&A's. We also found that the ownership of foreign investors increased its explanatory power after the financial crisis of Asia. Since the current literature concludes that the improvement of corporate governance would enhance the shareholders' wealth, the results of our study implies that outside active investors, rather than insiders, are playing an important role in the corporate governance.

1997년의 경제위기는 근본적으로 많은 차입금에도 불구하고 장기간에 걸쳐 낮은 수익성을 보인 기업들이 불황에 직면하여 도산위험이 급증함으로써 발생한 것으로 판단된다. 그러면, 기업들의 수익성은 왜 이렇게 낮은 것일까? 본 연구는 지배대주주와 소액주주간의 갈등이 기업의 수익성을 저하시킨 한 원인으로 작용했다는 가설을 실증적으로 규명하고자 한다. 우리나라 기업들, 특히 기업집단의 경우 지배대주주의 개인소유지분은 높지 않지만 기업경영에 대한 통제력은 매우 강하다. 기업경영에 대한 감시와 책임경영이 확립되지 않는 경제에서 지배대주주가 기업자산을 개인적 이익에 따라 운영하는 경우 편익은 독점하지만 이에 따른 수익성 하락 등의 비용은 다른 주주와 소유 지분율에 따라 공유하게 되므로 사적이익을 추구할 유인이 크다. 본 연구는 1992년부터 1997년까지의 공기업 및 금융기관을 제외한 외부감사대상기업의 재무자료를 기초로 영업이익률, 경상이익률, 그리고 순이익률이 주주간의 이해상충에 의해 어떻게 영향을 받았는가를 분석하였다. 수익성 분석에 있어 상장여부, 자산운영(관계회사 및 비관계회사에 대한 투자), 재벌소속 여부, 기업규모, 재무구조 그리고 산업적 특성 및 기업의 경영 및 사업 전략적 특성을 제어하였다. 다른 조건이 동일하다고 가정하면 상장된 기업의 수익성은 비상장기업보다 낮다. 상장기업의 경우는 대주주의 소유지분이 낮은 반면에 외부주주의 비중이 높기 때문에 대주주가 개인의 이익을 추구하고자 하는 유인이 강하게 작용한 결과로 판단된다. 또한 재벌에 소독된 기업의 수익성은 독립기업들의 수익성보다 낮을 뿐만 아니라 계열회사의 유가증권 및 대여금 등에 대한 투자가 증가할수록 기업의 경상이익률 및 순이익률이 낮아진다. 반면에 비관계회사에 대한 투자자산은 경상이익률 및 순이익률을 높이는 것으로 나타났다. 재벌에 소속된 상장회사가 관계회사에 투자하는 경우는 투자기업의 수익성이 더욱 낮아지는 것으로 나타났다. 관계회사에 대한 투자는 수익성에 기초한 투자가 아니며 대주주의 지분이 낮은 상장기업에서 소액주주의 이익에 반하여 계열사에 대한 투자형태로 자원이 이전되고 있음을 시사한다. 본 논문의 분석 결과는 외부주주와 내부주주간의 이해상충이 기업의 수익성을 저하시킨다는 가설과 일관된다. 따라서 대주주가 개인적 이익을 추구하고자 하는 유인을 견제하고 소액주주의 권리를 강화하도록 지배구조를 확립해야 할 것이다.
