This paper discusses the determinants of green practices and incorporates some empirical findings from a recent study in the petrochemical sector in the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago. The study was comprised of a survey and follow-up interviews with senior executives who participated in the survey. Of fourteen companies involved, the findings affirmed that the investigation of accidents, provision of an emergency response, employee training, decreasing the production of wastes, and pre-treating wastes before disposal should be stressed. Government requirement, the economic reasons and public pressures were the driving forces of green practices. The five most important determinants identified include performance evaluation, financial justification, impacts on company, management leadership and operations integration. Implementing environmental management systems as a feasible approach to green practices in the petrochemical sector was explored. The findings provide guidance that helps organisations to accommodate the determinants of green practices into achieving sustainable environmental goals.

과거 국내 벤처캐피탈 회사는 정부의 지원과 보조금에 의존하여 사업을 유지하였기 때문에 관리노하우, 선진투자기법 및 관리지원능력 등의 역량이 부족해도 생존할 수 있었다. 하지만, 오늘날 벤처캐피탈 회사의 환경은 자율과 책임과 경쟁원리가 적용되는 상황으로 점점 바뀌고 있다. 벤처캐피탈 회사도 다른 금융기관과 마찬가지로 자산과 부채를 적절히 관리함으로써 위험을 최소화하고 수익을 극대화시켜 기업 가치를 극대화할 수 있는 것이다. Modigliani와 Miller(1958)가 전통적 최적자본구조의 존재에 대해 반론을 제기한 이후 많은 연구가 진행되었지만 아직까지 벤처캐피탈 회사의 자본구조에 대해 연구한 논문은 아직 발표되지 않았다. 본 논문의 목적은 국내 창업투자회사의 기업특성과 자본구조 간의 관계를 실증적으로 조사하고 분석하는 것이다. 본 연구에서는 창업투자회사의 웹페이지와 공시자료를 기초로 국내 창업투자회사의 기업특성 및 재무지표에 대한 자료를 수집하였다. 상관관계분석과 t-검정을 통해 오래된 창업투자회사와 신규창업투자회사 간에 유동비율과 매출액 순이익률 값이 차이가 난다는 것을 보여주었다. 비록 우리나라 창업투자회사가 벤처기업에 대한 투자에 대한 노하우가 부족하다고 알려졌지만 오래된 창업 투자회사는 재무수익성을 개선할 수 있는 벤처투자에 대한 노하우가 차츰 쌓이고 있다는 결과로 해석될 수 있는 결과이다.

This study purported to acquire information necessary to improve the management of general hospitals. It tried to determine major indices which represent managerial performance of general hospitals and to identify the managerial characteristics of general hospitals which affect the major financial indices. Eighty-eight hospitals were chosen from 188 hospitals which were subject to standardization audit by the Korean Hospital Association. The results of a discriminant analysis are summarized as followings. First, when a single index was used to measure managerial performance of the sample hospitals, the ration of net profit to total capital was the best index and its discriminant power was 58.14%. The ratio of the number of boardmen((M. D.) and average daily medical cost were highly related to this index. Second, when two indices were used, income growth rte and the ration of net profit to total capital had the highest discriminant distinction ability. Their discriminant power was 61.9%. In this case, the ratio of the number of boardmen(M. D.) was significantly and highly related to the indices. Third, when all three indices-income growth rate, the ration of net profit to total capital and quick ratio - were used together, a discriminant function was statistically insignificant. Therefore, using all three indices was not useful in measuring managerial performance of the sample hospitals. In conclusion, using two indices-income growth rate and the ration of net profit to total capital-was better in measuring manegerial performance of general hospitals than using a single index. The independent variable which affected these indices was the ration of the number of boardmen. The discriminant function was : $D_{GI}=2.77+4.832\times(the ratio of the number of boardmen)$ *G=growth index(income growth rate) *I=profit index(the ration of net profit to total capital)
