최근 국내 창업지원 정책은 스타트업 중심에서, 스케일업 중심으로 전환기를 맞고 있다. 제2벤처 '붐' 확산 전략(2019.3.6.)은 신규 벤처 투자 연 5조원 달성, 유니콘 기업 20개 창출, M&A 활성화와 역동적 회수 시장 조성을 발표하는 등 국내 스케일업 정책이 투자/금융 등 자금지원에만 집중되어 있는 것으로 확인되고 있다. 물론, 기업 성장을 위해서는 자금지원이 정책적으로 매우 중요한 것은 기존 연구를 통해 확인되고 있으나, 스케일업을 효과적으로 달성하기 위해서는 다양한 정책적 지원이 필요할 것으로 보인다. 이러한 한계를 극복하고자 본 연구는 미국, 영국 등 이미 스케일업 정책을 도입하여 운영 중인, 해외 선진국의 스케일업 지원정책을 문헌 등 자료를 분석하고, 이를 바탕으로 국내 스케일업 정책을 분석하여 효과적인 스케일업 정책을 수립할 수 있도록 시사점을 도출하고자 한다. 이를 통해 국정목표인 일자리 창출과 국가경제 성장에 효과적으로 기여할 수 있는 스케일업 지원 정책 수립에 시사점을 제공할 것으로 기대한다. 또한, 학술적으로는 국내외 스케일업에 대한 연구가 매우 부족한 실정으로, 이번 정책사례 비교연구를 통해서 시사점을 제안하여 향후 스케일업 관련 연구주제의 확장성 측면과 관련된 다양한 연구가 활성화 되는데 기여하고자 한다. 본 연구에서는 글로벌 정책사례로는 미국은 'ScaleUp America Initiative', EU는 'the Start-up and Scale-up Initiative' 정책, 영국은 'Scale Up Institute', 독일은 'German Accelerator', 프랑스는 '프렌치 테크(La French Tech)' 정책, 중국은 중관촌 등 스타트업의 핵심거점의 정책을 중심으로 문헌 등 자료조사를 통해 본 연구를 진행하였다.

전 세계적으로 혁신과 창업기업의 스케일업이 중요한 국가적 과제로 부각되고 있다. 과거 경기침체 극복을 위해 'Start-tup America', 'Start-up Chile', 'Start-up Britain' 등 스타트업 중심의 정책 패러다임을 확산시켰다. 최근 창업선진국을 중심으로 경기회복이 가시화되면서, 스타트업 중심의 정책 패러다임이 'Scale-up America', Scale-up UK', 'Scale-up Denmark' 등 스케일업 중심의 정책 패러다임으로 전환하고 있는 추세이다. 창업기업은 스타트업 단계를 넘어서 스케일업 단계로 진입해야 국가적으로 양질의 일자리가 늘어나고 경제성장으로 나아갈 수 있다. 그러므로 창업기업을 강한 중견기업으로 성장시켜 지속적으로 생존할 수 있는 발판을 마련해주어야 한다. 이에 따라 본 연구는 창업기업이 스케일업 기업으로 성장할 수 있도록 성장의 선행변수인 성장 열망에 영향을 미치는 요인들을 심층적으로 고찰하고 국가의 경제발전단계 간, 기업가 간의 차이를 실증적으로 규명함으로써 국가차원에서 창업기업이 스케일업 할 수 있는 방안을 제시하는데 목적이 있다. 본 연구는 글로벌기업가정신모니터(GEM)의 일반성인조사 3.5년 미만의 초기 기업가들을 대상으로 하였으며, 국가경제발전단계를 혁신주도형, 효율주도형, 요소주도형 경제로 구분하여 R 3.5.0프로그램을 사용하여 국가경제발전단계 간 비교를 위해 다층모형분석을 통해 연구가설을 검증하였다. 가설검증 결과는 다음과 같다. 창업기업의 혁신지향성과 성장 열망의 영향관계에 있어 국가경제발전 간, 기업가 간 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 국가의 경제가 발전할수록 기업가의 혁신활동이 더 두드러지게 나타난다. 또한 창업기업은 기업가의 영향을 많이 받기 때문에, 동일한 환경 내에서 기업가가 얼마나 혁신 지향적인가에 따라 열망의 정도에 차이가 있다고 할 수 있다. 창업기업의 혁신지향성과 성장 열망의 영향관계에 있어 실패에 대한 두려움은 국가경제발전 간, 기업가 간 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 기업가 및 창업에 대한 실패에 대한 두려움은 국가경제발전 단계별로 차이가 있으며, 이러한 국가적 측면에서 실패에 대한 인식은 창업활동에 영향을 미치는 중요한 요인 중 하나이다. 이러한 연구결과를 통해 규명된 창업기업이 스케일업 기업으로 성장하는데 있어 성장열망에 영향을 미치는 검증된 요인을 국가경제발전단계에 따라 적합한 스케일업 생태계를 조성하는데 활용할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

This is a summary of a comparative study of the national policies to foster the agri-food industry implemented by the leading countries of the industry before and after the COVID-19-induced global economic crisis. By comparing the policies of each country, we discovered that key leading countries of the agri-food industry had given up or suspended one-on-one, face-to-face support programs that they had maintained for years, and have started providing financial assistance to companies or self-employed people in relative industries. Korea should implement such decisive policies for the Korean agri-food industry to tackle this unprecedented economic shrink and maintain the competitiveness of the industry. Considering the scale and speed of the spreading of the pandemic, the new policies should be implemented swiftly and boldly. This study can be used as a base material for developing new policies to minimize damage to the agri-food industry and national economy caused by COVID-19.

The main goal of this study is to look at how South Korea can catch up to the rest of the world through policy-driven structural change and manufacturing revolutions. To achieve the objective, this study used annual data on real exports and real GDP from the World Development Indicator WDI of South Korea for the period 1960 to 2019. The study's goal is to use econometrics to detect this policy-driven structural change trend. Multiple nonlinear Granger causality test was used to accomplish this. The findings revealed structural breaks and nonlinearities in the dynamic link between South Korea's real GDP and real exports. Furthermore, results also show evidence of multiple structural breaks in South Korean data. South Korea's economic catch-up was the result of a constant reevaluation of industrial policies, readjustment, and structural change to constantly explore and utilize comparative advantage, realizing economies of scale at the global level, and reallocating and redistribution of resources towards productive sectors with high value-added output, according to econometric analysis. If South Korea would have not done this structural change this miracle to escape the middle-income trap would not have been possible. These findings support the descriptive evidence of structural change in favor of manufacturing revolutions and value addition industry development in South Korea.

Since 1960's along with industrialization and urbanization, economic growth has been . achieved, however, at the same time, environmental condition has been seriously deteriorated. . Currently, volume of wastewater has been increasing at annual rate of 7% in sewage and 20% in industrial wastewater. However, the nation's sewage treatment serves only 33% of the municipal wastewater as of 1991. Major portion of air pollutants comes from combustion of oil and coal which comprise 81% of total energy use and emission gases from motor vehicles increasing at an accelerated rate. It is known that Korea generates the highest amount of waste per capta. Nevertheless, it is not sufficient to reduce the volume of waste by means of resources recovery and recycling. Recognizing the importance of global environmental problems such as ozone layer depletion, global warming and acid rain, international society has been making various efforts since the 1972 Stockholm conference. In particular, it is expected that the Rio conference which has adopted the Rio declaration and Agenda 21 will form a crucial turning point of the emerging new world order after the Cold War confrontation. To cope with such issues as domestic pollution and global environmental problems, the fundamental national policy aims at harmonizing "environmental protection and sustainable development". The Ministry of Environment has recently set up a mid-term comprehensive plan which includes annual targets for environmental protection. According to the government plan, gradual improvement of various environmental conditions and specific measures to achieve them is planned in time frame. Additional sewage treatment plants will be constructed in urban areas with the target to treat 65% of the nation's municipal sewage by 1996. Supply of clean fuels such as LNG will also be expanded starting from large cities as a cleaner substitute energy for coal and oil. In parallel with expansion of LNG, emphasis will be placed on installation of stack monitoring system. Due to the relatively limited land, government's basic policy for solid waste treatment is to develop large scale landfill facilities rather than small sized ones. Thirty three regional areas have been designated for the purpose of waste management. For each of these regions, big scale landfill site is going to be developed. To increase the rate of waste recycling the government is planning to reinforce separate collection system and to provide industries with economic incentives. As a part of meeting the changing situation on global environmental problems after UNCED, and accommodation regulatory measures stipulated in the global environmental conventions and protocols, national policy will try to alter industrial and economic structure so as to mitigate the increasing trends of energy consumption, by encouraging energy conservation and efficiency. In this regard, more attention will be given to the policy on the development of the cleaner technology. Ultimately, these policies and programs will contribute greatly to improving the current state of national public health.

The US National Science Foundation's National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) is a continental-scale program intended to provide open data, samples, and infrastructure to understand changing ecosystems for a period of 30 years. NEON collects co-located measurements of drivers of environmental change and biological responses, using standardized methods at 81 field sites to systematically sample variability and trends to enable inferences at regional to continental scales. Alongside key atmospheric and environmental variables, NEON measures the biodiversity of many taxa, including microbes, plants, and animals, and collects samples from these organisms for long-term archiving and research use. Here we review the composition and use of NEON resources to date as a whole and specific to biodiversity as an exemplar of the potential of national research infrastructure to contribute to globally relevant outcomes. Since NEON initiated full operations in 2019, NEON has produced, on average, 1.4 M records and over 32 TB of data per year across more than 180 data products, with 85 products that include taxonomic or other organismal information relevant to biodiversity science. NEON has also collected and curated more than 503,000 samples and specimens spanning all taxonomic domains of life, with up to 100,000 more to be added annually. Various metrics of use, including web portal visitation, data download and sample use requests, and scientific publications, reveal substantial interest from the global community in NEON. More than 47,000 unique IP addresses from around the world visit NEON's web portals each month, requesting on average 1.8 TB of data, and over 200 researchers have engaged in sample use requests from the NEON Biorepository. Through its many global partnerships, particularly with the Global Biodiversity Information Facility, NEON resources have been used in more than 900 scientific publications to date, with many using biodiversity data and samples. These outcomes demonstrate that the data and samples provided by NEON, situated in a broader network of national research infrastructures, are critical to scientists, conservation practitioners, and policy makers. They enable effective approaches to meeting global targets, such as those captured in the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework.

Domestic industries are facing the open era as a result of signing the Korea-U.S. FTA with no exception to the financial industry. The FFA between two countries is expected to produce pros and cons for domestic financial industry. Therefore, it is very important to minimize the shock caused by opening our financial market and to adopt the advanced financial tools actively. Signing the Korea-U.S. FTA and enforcing the Integration Law of Capital Market are leading a big crisis to the Savings Banks which have been shrinking under the dramatically changing domestic financial environment since the financial crisis. To cope with financial globalization, Korean Savings Banks are demanded to build up their concrete identity and reposition their status. This is related to shaping the long-term position of domestic financial industry. Therefore, the Savings Banks must take the growth strategy for their survival, and it is an inescapable choice. Several options are available: big scale operation and diversification of business functions, reinforcement of local-focused mediating function of funds, establishment of strategic alliance with other financial firms, reinforcement of risk management system and core competence, nourishment and employment of professional manpower, and active deregulation and policy support. When the Savings Banks are refurbished as an independent local bank performing the central role of local finance, the bright future can be their destiny under the enormously changing global financial environment. Also, two more conditions need to be satisfied: to establish horizontal networks among local banks directed by cooperative Korea Federation of Savings Banks to reverse the weak scale position, and to satisfy their own peculiar niche market with internal countermeasure to face global financial networks.

The cultured tuna production which has suddenly expanded at the short time and the demand for it attract attention. Farming mode, distribution transactions, change of the market (domestic and international) and the price trend are reviewed from the Japan's position which is the biggest consuming country. This paper tries to describe the current status of the food system related to the cultured tuna. Japanese government began the development of the tuna culture technology in 1970. It was by the Fisheries Agency's project. Kinki University which is the large scale private university in Japan participated in the project. After that, 32 years have passed. Kinki University established the full farming of the bluefin tuna in August, 2002. On the other hand, in 1974, one Japanese private enterprise began its tuna farming business in Canada. Kinki University gave this company technical cooperation. Also, in the early stages of the 90s, as for the policy of the overseas fishery cooperation foundation, it supported the tuna farming business in Australia. It is very clear to understand that the long-term technological-development has supported the take-off scene of the tuna culture business not only in foreign countries but also in Japan. The total shipment scale of the cultured tuna expanded very much within about 10 recent years. However, the decrease of the wild tuna catch, the reinforcement of the fisheries regulation and the tuna body to dwarf are remarkable now. Under the condition as the mentioned above, Japan's tuna consumption, especially, in the market at the fatty meat of tuna of the cultured tuna is building up firm status. At present, the Mediterranean Sea coastal countries, Australia, Mexico and Japan have the tuna farming sites. Australia farms the southern bluefin tuna. The others do the bluefin tuna. About for 3 years, Japan farms the juvenile of the tuna. The global production areas are as follows. 8 coastal countries of the Mediterranean Sea; 18,000 tons (61 % of the cultured tuna quantity in foreign countries), Mexico; 4,500 ton (15%), Australia; 7,000 tons (24%). In 2003, Japan has 32 managements and 39 offices for tuna farming. In Japan, Kyushu and Okinawa district, the share shows itself as 80 % of the domestic production quantity. Especially, the share of Amami-oshima Island in Kagoshima Prefecture exceeds 60 %. Therefore, this island has the maximum production scale of Japan. The amount of supply of BT and SBT was 56,000 tons in 2004. In Abroad, the tuna farming business forms a fixed connection between the importer and the wholesaler which have their office in Japan. In the field of the capital composition, the payment in advance, transaction and the way of settlement, each maintains their fixed relation. The market conditions of the cultured tuna are supported by "the decline of price level" and "the expansion of the general public consumption segment". These lead a team merchandising, and it is supported by the fixed business connection of each. This makes the profit of each business which are on the cultured tuna distribution. However, they have competition on the power balance among them.
