This paper empirically analyzes how working conditions of employees and executives affect Korean companies' survival. To this end, a survival analysis based on the accelerated failure time model is conducted from the end of December 2012 to the end of September 2018 on the 2012 year-end financial data for corporations whose common stocks have ever been listed either in the KOSPI market or in the KOSDAQ market with fiscal year ending at the end of December. The analysis shows that the average wage level per employee and the number of executives relative to the number of employees threaten while the average duration of service for female employees prolongs firm survival. Here, the average wage level per employee has turned out to worsen firm survivability regardless of the gender of employees in question while the average duration of service improves firm survivability only in case the employees are female: the average duration of service for male employees or the entire employees has turned out not to have any statistically significant influence on firm survival. The average compensation per executive and the percentage of temporary employees have turned out not to have any statistically significant influence on firm survival while the percentage of female employees has shown statistically significant positive influence on firm survival in some, although not all, models employed in our study. These results are expected to be a good reference in the course of our reaching agreements regarding the improvement of working conditions either between firms and employees or among the members of the entire society.

우리나라 코스닥 시장은 1996년 처음 생긴 이래 상당한 양적 성장은 해왔으나 투자자의 두터운 신뢰를 받지 못하는 실정이다. 건전한 기업을 발굴하여 육성하고 코스닥 시장이 투자자들에게 신뢰를 주기 위해서는 코스닥 상장기업의 정확한 가치평가와 기업 생존 가능성 평가는 매우 중요하지만 코스닥 기업을 대상으로 실패위험을 분석한 논문은 많지 않은 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 코스닥 상장 시 기업의 실패위험 결정요인을 조사하고 이 실패위험이 주가에 반영되는지 분석하였다. 신규상장 시 실패위험 결정요인은 신규상장기업의 특성인 주관등록사와 회계감사인의 명성, 공모가와 공모규모, 기업의 나이 등을 고려하여 분석하였다. 또한 신규상장 시 실패위험이 상장 후 주가성과와 관련되는지 분석하였다. 표본은 코스닥 상장 폐지된 기업 중 인터넷 기업을 제외하고 부실과 관련된 86개 실패 기업과 실패기업과 같은 산업에 속하는 569개 건전기업을 선정하여 연구에 사용하였다. 실패위험 결정요인 분석에는 로짓모형을 이용하였다. 연구결과는 신규상장 시 실패위험 결정요인은 신규상장기업의 특성인 공모규모, 회계감사인의 명성, 기업의 나이 등이 유의한 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 재무레버리지는 실패위험에 유의한 영향을 주는 변수이지만 선행연구에서 유의한 변수로 지적된 기업규모나 수익성 변수는 실패위험에 유의한 영향을 주지 않는 것으로 나타나 신규상장 시 실패위험 분석에서는 신규상장기업의 특성을 반영하는 모형이 유효하다고 볼 수 있다. 신규상장시 실패위험과 상장 후 주가성과와의 관계 분석에서는 유의한 음(-)의 관련성이 나타나 비 인터넷기업의 실패위험이 주가에 반영된다고 해석할 수 있다. 코스닥 신규상장기업의 생존가능성이 낮은 편이며 정부의 각종 지원을 받는 벤처기업이 실패하는 경우 투자자들에게 극심한 손해를 끼칠 수 있고 나아가 경제에 악영향을 미칠 수 있기 때문에 본 연구의 결과는 정부의 규제당국이나 신용분석을 담당하는 실무자에게 상당한 도움이 될 것으로 생각된다.

As markets and industries continue to evolve rapidly, technology opportunity discovery (TOD) has become critical to a firm's survival. From a common consensus that TOD based on a firm's capabilities is a valuable method for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and reduces the risk of failure in technology development, studies for TOD based on a firm's capabilities have been actively conducted. However, previous studies mainly focused on a firm's technological capabilities and rarely on business capabilities. Since discovered technologies can create market value when utilized in a firm's business, a firm's current business capabilities should be considered in discovering technology opportunities. In this context, this study proposes a TOD method that considers both a firm's business and technological capabilities. To this end, this study uses patent data, which represents the firm's technological capabilities, and trademark data, which represents the firm's business capabilities. The proposed method comprises four steps: 1) Constructing firm technology and business capability matrices using patent classification codes and trademark similarity group codes; 2) Transforming the capability matrices to preference matrices using the fuzzy function; 3) Identifying a target firm's candidate technology opportunities using the collaborative filtering algorithm; 4) Recommending technology opportunities using a portfolio map constructed based on technology similarity and applicability indices. A case study is conducted on a security firm to determine the validity of the proposed method. The proposed method can assist SMEs that face resource constraints in identifying technology opportunities. Further, it can be used by firms that do not possess patents since the proposed method uncovers technology opportunities based on business capabilities.

As the technology of multimedia sensor networks is desired in large numbers of applications nowadays, real-time service becomes one of the most important research challenges. Even though lots of related works have been conducted to meet this requirement in several ways, the specific traffic model for real-time has not been taken yet. Thus, it causes lack of adaptability of those approaches in real deployment. To solve this problem, in this paper, we model the application via (m,k)-firm streams which have weakly hard real-time property. And then, a novel forwarding scheme based on modified DBP (Distance-Based Priority) is proposed by considering local-DBP and stream DBP together. Local-DBP can contribute to identify the detailed causes of unsatisfied quality, that is, network congestion or wireless link failure. Simulation results reveal that (m,k)-firm is a good traffic model for multimedia sensor networks and the proposed scheme can contribute to guarantee real-time requirement well.

Relatively little studies have investigated employee recovery from internal service failure, especially from the employees' perspective. When handling customer complaints, employees must not only deal with legitimate customer demands after a service failure, such as providing an apology, rectifying the problem, and offering compensation, but they must also manage illegitimate dysfunctional customers, who may yell, threaten, and even physically harm the employee. These negative experiences can have strong effects, and employees can exhibit higher levels of stress such as burnout and emotional labor, which have been linked to dissatisfaction, tension and anxiety, reduced performance and effectiveness, and a greater propensity to leave the firm, ultimately leading to negative financial consequences for the firm. These conditions result in internal service failure and create the need to recover employees-in other words, internal service recovery. However, little research has examined this issue so far. The purpose of the current study, therefore, is to investigate the relationship between internal service recovery and employee outcomes. A pre-test, post-test between-subjects experimental design was developed. Participants were 166 part-time students who were working full-time. The average age of the participants was 36.74 years, and 57.50% of them were female. The average length of employment was 13 years. Participants were randomly assigned to one of four groups of approximately equal size. Three of the groups were subjected to an experimental situation involving an internal service failure, while one group was not exposed to failure, thereby acting as a control group. This study contributes to the service marketing literature in several ways. First, the study extends service failure and/or recovery research by examining recovery in an employee context. Second, this study attempts to measure internal service recovery and to empirically demonstrate its relationship to employee outcomes. Third, this investigation emphasizes the managerial importance of internal service recovery. For example, understanding the nature of the relationships between internal service recovery and its consequences can improve the effectiveness and efficiency of managers' resource allocation decisions.

The objective of the study is to verify the discriminatory power of technology innovation in predicting Early Stage Ventures' success or failure. To accomplish this objective, we test early stage ventures'(Firm's period is below 3 years)technology innovation and performance. The result of the study is expected to be useful in loan evaluation, investment decision, internal management decision making and business improvement. The results of study is as follows. First, Early Stage Ventures' technology innovation power is composed of 4 major indexes(technology, marketability, manufacturing infra and economic feasibility). Second, we find that thirty-seven minor indexes are significant ex-ante variable which are discriminating between firms' success and failure in Early Stage Ventures. Also thirty-seven minor indexes explain 57.2% of the total variance. This explainable power of these indexes is similar to that of the existing 58 index elements. Finally, we find that the most important technology innovation power of Early Stage Ventures' is economic feasibility.

We study the firm's strategy to price its products and plan the spare parts manufacturing so as to maximize its profit and at the same time to fulfill its commitment to providing the customers with the key parts continuously over the relevant decision time horizon, i.e., the production plus warrantee period. To examine the research question, we developed and solved a two-stage optimal control theory model. Our analysis suggests that if the cost to produce the spare part during the warrantee period is more expensive than that during the production period, the firm should increase its sales price gradually throughout the production period to control its sales. In addition, during the production period it is optimal for the firm to produce the spare parts more than needed so that the overproduced spare parts can be used to partially meet the demand during the warrantee period. We conducted numerical analysis to investigate the sensitivity dynamics among key variables and parameters such as inventory holding cost, unit spare part production costs, part failure rate, and parameters in the demand function.

We wanted to show the different group dynamics of factors for success and failure cases for technology commercialization in small technology-based firms. Existing studies are based on product level, project level, division level or firm level. We deal with technology level, and at small-technology-based firms. This is a longitudinal case study based on 8 cases from Korea. Our study on technology level is a first trial in success and failure studies unlike all existing studies. As a first step, we introduced new categories and factors such as technology attributes and CEO reflecting data, and especially a new concept of launch readiness level. Finally, we adopted correspondence analysis to show the group dynamics. The results are as follows; Technology factors are the most important factors. Second, resource-based factors are more critical in failure cases than success cases and technology factors are more critical to success.

고객만족경영을 통하여 기업이 이윤의 증진을 도모하는 것은 자명한 일이다. 따라서 고객만족과 기업성과와의 직접적인 관계를 밝히는 것은 학술적으로나 실무적으로 매우 중요하다. 고객만족이 기업경영성과에 미치는 영향에 관한 지금까지의 연구에서는 주로 당기의 고객만족이 당기의 기업경영성과에 미치는 현재효과를 분석하였다. 그러나 마케팅활동이 동태적 효과를 갖는다는 연구에 의하면 고객만족이 현재뿐만 아니라 미래의 기업 경영성과에 미치는 동태적 효과의 검증이 필요하다. 만약 이 효과가 존재함에도 불구하고 이를 충분히 측정하지 못한다면 고객만족의 효과는 낮게 평가될 것이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 패널자료분석을 통하여 기업의 수익성과 기업가치에 미치는 고객만족의 동태적 효과를 추정하였다. 연구결과, 고객만족은 기업의 수익성과 기업가치에 긍정적인 영향을 주며, 동태적 효과를 갖는 것으로 분석되었다. 또한 모형 추정결과, 모형의 적합도에서 이유재와 이청림(2006)보다 개선이 이루어 졌다. 한편 고객만족의 과거 항을 2기까지 추가한 비교모형은 추정결과의 해석이 어렵고, 다중공선성 문제가 있는 것으로 분석되었다.

The paper evaluates the Korean science, technology, and innovation policy(STIP) in terms of an individual firm. The firm is Viromed(Ltd), a new technology-based venture company in the field of biotechnology. The case is compared with the 'Hwang Project', which is known as a typical failure case in Korea. In order to evaluate the Korean STIP, we establish 6 areas, which are technological infrastructure, institutional infrastructure, human capital infrastructure, technology market, industrial base, and innovation networks. The study shows that the policy schemes relating with technological infrastructure, institutional infrastructure, human capital infrastructure, and industrial base play a positive role in the start-up, development and innovation of Viromed(Ltd). However, we can hardly find the role of Korean government in fostering the technology market, transferring the technological output to economic performance. Although the international networks with the British, American, and Japanese firms or investors were a key success factor of the growth of Viromed(Ltd), the role of the government in this policy area was not enough. As for the 'Hwang Project', we suggest that the government should consider the possibility of commercialization in choosing R&D projects and determining the size of financial aids. Since the evaluation of the Korean STIP is based on an individual firm, the results of the paper need to be confirmed by a systematic comparison with other cases or industries.
