This study clearly defined the idea of convergence of small and medium companies and convergence types and understood convergence case of small and medium companies for each type in order to help enhancement of competitiveness of small and medium companies. The convergence type of small and medium companies accepted two levels including technology and industry and value improvement and creation suggested by Deloitte(2009) and it was classified into technology improvement-market expansion type, technology improvement-market creation type, technology creation-market expansion type, and technology creation-market creation type based on the companies introduced in the excellent casebook of convergence and integration technology development business of small and medium companies(August 2011). As a result, it was shown as 5 cases of technology improvement-market expansion, 4 cases of technology improvement-market creation, 3 cases of technology creation-market expansion, and 1 case of technology creation-market creation among the total 13 cases. Therefore, small and medium companies are focusing on technology improvement than technology creation and market expansion than market creation. What we can understand through cases analysis on convergence types of small and medium company is that it is very difficult for small and medium companies to create new technology or new market through convergence. Thus, small and medium companies consider market expansion through technology improvement as the objective and result of convergence. It is important to create new technology or new industry to cultivate new growth engines of the nation, but policy support that cares about reality of small and medium companies must be considered at the same time.

Despite a quantitative increase in the export of small and medium sized businesses due to various policies supporting export that have been continually promoted by the government, the majority of export growth has been centered around conglomerates. As research has shown that export companies are superior in terms of job creation and growth compared to domestic companies, the conversion of domestic companies to export companies will not only result in job creation and increase in exports, but it will also enable the improvement of such companies. It is therefore important to support the export of small and medium sized businesses and maintain their status as export companies with supporting policies. The purpose of this study is to analyze the present state of the export environment of Korean and foreign small and medium sized businesses in order to elicit ideas for establishing strategies for the promotion of export and maintaining the status as an export company.

This study attempts to investigate the IT utilization and e-business level of the small and medium companies in order to facilitate their e-commerce efforts. Results show that they have basic IT infrastructures such as internet and PC, but they use their IT resources mainly for office automations. Major problems with such low level of IT utilization are in their lack of manpower, skill, and fund. Considering above issues, web hosting service is believed as a good measure to alleviate their problems. Hence, this paper suggests that utilization of the web-based ASP can be a viable solution for the currently revealed issues. Also, development of creative IT application(business) cases and their advertizement can lead small and medium finns to more productive IT investments, which requires more diverse IT performance measurements such as BSC(balanced scorecard), other than traditional ROI.

SMEs in Korea are suffering from severe manpower shortage due to poor incentive system and employees' frequent change of jobs. So far, the government has made continuous efforts to solve these problems, but SMEs still have the same problem. It is critical for SMEs to maintain core employees for long term who can directly contribute to the business performance. However, Korean manpower policies for SMEs has mainly focused on hiring new recruits and attracting experienced high caliber employees to SMEs. Relatively, policies for attracting in-house employees to work for longer term were insufficient. This paper focuses on providing strategic policy options to make core employees stay in the company for longer term. For this, it identifies the concept and features of core employees and reviews the necessity of introducing the Mutual Aid Project. Also, it suggests the way to enhance the effectiveness of policy by analyzing current Mutual Aid Fund programs in Korea.

기업에서의 경쟁력을 확보하는데 있어서 정보화 도구의 활용은 중요하다. 급변하는 지식경제시대의 도래로 인하여 제조 분야를 비롯한 모든 산업 분야에서 정보화는 기업의 경쟁력을 강화하고, 자생할 수 있는 가장 강력한 수단으로 대두되고 있으며, 점차 기업은 정보화에 많은 투자를 하고 있고, 이에 중소기업에서도 예외 없이 필수적인 것이 되어가고 있다. 중소기업의 정보화는 내부 업무의 효율성과 생산성을 향상시킬 뿐만 아니라 국가 전체와 사회 각 분야에 대한 파급효과가 지대하다는 점에서 정부는 중소기업의 정보화 촉진을 위한 각종 지원을 해오고 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 국내 중소기업의 정보화 현황과 수준을 파악하고, 중소기업의 정보화 운용의 특성과 정보화 운용이 재무적 성과에 어떤 영향성을 미치는지 그리고 그에 따른 관리자의 인식은 어떠한지 알아보고자 한다.
