We conducted an explorative study about the types of APEC government's policies for SME(Small and Medium Enterprise) informatization. Informatization means the process whereby information and communication technologies shape cultural and civic discourse. By using Qualitative study methods such as interviews and case studies, we identified the influential factors for the effectiveness of government policies on SME's informatization. Based on the implementation levels of these factors, we also developed the typology of government policies for SME informatization. Our conclusion ends up with the suggestion of a contingency approach for SME informatization of underdeveloped and developing countries.

This article is a suggestion for SME policy in Korea for the attention of the senior policy-experiencer of the whole nation, the Advisor to the President of Korea. This article is written from the perspective of technology policy experts, not SME experts. In spite of many SME policies, the issue of SMEs in Korea is worsening, not being resolved. Technology-oriented policies are effective for each company, but the role of SMEs is gradually decreasing in the Korean economy. Reflecting on this fact, I would like to suggest measures that include long-term, but social as well as educational. The solution I suggested is coexistence since sustainable growth through SMEs is not just an economic or social issue. It is a matter of survival. I propose four types of coexistence: corporate, local, human, and coexistence with nature. Getting coexistence works requires a change in social norms that mobilize even education.

This article puts forward the opinion of a policy expert, who had been involved in Korea's science and technology policy for 30 years, about technology policy for SMEs. This article first explains why technology policies for SMEs are needed, and from what point of view. The next section looks at the current problems facing Korean SMEs, followed by the introduction of past and current polices to support SMEs. The comparison between current issues facing SMEs and past and current policies leads to lessons that can be learned. There are four lessons for the policy itself and three for the implementation of these policies. As for policy, the first four are about stages of development, concentration, R&D and diffusion, and policy mix. The latter three are policymakers, institutional building, and cooperation between ministries. This article makesfour suggestions for future policy: the importance of startups' culture, cooperation with others, infrastructure to reduce uncertainty, and policy monitoring and evaluation.

본 연구에서는 최근 정부의 중소기업 정보화지원이 플랫폼기반의 클라우드 방식으로 변화함에 따라, 정부의 지원 기대효과를 극대화하기 위해서는 장기적 비전 수립과 목표 시스템 아키텍처 설계 및 효과적 실행 관리체계에 대한 정책적 필요사안을 제시하였다. 이를 위하여 본 연구에서는 우선적으로 중소기업 정보화 현황과 기존 중소기업 정보화지원 방식에 대한 한계점을 분석하고, 클라우드 컴퓨팅 등 신기술동향을 바탕으로 정부가 중소기업의 정보화와 관련하여 어떠한 역할을 해야 하는 가에 대한 미션과 범위를 도출하였다. 이를 바탕으로 중장기 비전을 도출하였으며 목표 시스템 아키텍처를 소상공인기업과 소기업 등 클라우드 서비스 무상 지원 영역등을 포함하여 설계하였다. 본 연구의 공헌점은 기존의 기업중심 정보전략 연구를 정보화지원전략으로 확장하였다는 데 있으며, 본 연구에서 도출된 정책적 시사점은 중기청에서 추진 중인 중소기업 정보화지원사업에 기본적 가이드라인으로, 그리고 정부의 다른 정보화지원 사업에 활용될 수 있다.

SME's(Small and Medium-sized Enterprises) have limited resources to build information systems on their own. They do not have effective information systems and not utilize e-business technology enough. The government thus have provided various supports for SME's IT developments. However, those supports do not seem so effective that SME's can operate appropriate information systems and do e-business well. The objective of this study is to develop conceptual policies for the government. We suggest an integrated government support which consists of three core stratigies: one-stop service center, outsourcing of public service, and triggering strategy. In order for the government support to be effective, the government should serve SME's needs continuously and professionally.

최근 미국 등 선진국에서 제조업의 부활을 위한 정책적 지원이 강화되고 있다. 뿌리산업은 제조업의 기반이 되는 산업으로 중소기업이 절대다수를 차지하고 있으며, 우리나라도 중소기업에 대한 정책 지원이 증가 추세이다. 그럼에도 불구하고 뿌리산업 제조중소기업에 대한 정책적 관심은 그리 높지 않다. 특히 뿌리산업의 R&D 효과성에 대한 의문이 많은 상황이다. 본 논문의 뿌리산업 제조중소기업 실태 분석에 의하면 뿌리산업내 업종별로 다양한 특성을 보이고 있으며 R&D 결과가 사업화로 잘 이어지지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 본 논문에서는 뿌리산업 제조중소기업에 대한 국내외 현황을 바탕으로 5가지의 정책적 시사점을 제시한다.

This paper investigates the effectiveness of public credit guarantee programs and interest-support programs for SMEs (small and medium enterprises). First, assuming that there is an imperfect information structure in the SME loan market, we analyze how SME support financial programs affect the corporate decisions made by SMEs with regard to default or loan sizes. In addition, this paper theoretically computes the optimal levels of credit guarantee amounts and the interest-support spread under equilibrium with imperfect information in a competitive loan market. Second, the paper empirically analyzes the continuous policy-treatment effect with the GPS (generalized propensity score) method. In particular, we consider the ratio of guaranteed debt to the total debt as a continuous policy treatment. The empirical results show that marginal effects of a credit guarantee on SMEs' productivity, profitability, and growth potential decrease with the ratio of guaranteed debt to the total debt. In addition, the average effect of a credit guarantee is maximized when this ratio is at 50% to 60%.

Recently, the government has been pursuing various policies to create new industries and jobs through the invigoration of start-ups. For the sustained growth of start-ups, it is necessary to look not only at the supply of risk capital but also at policies for venture capital firms that nurture and foster start-ups. The purpose of this study is to estimate the effects of the nurturing and fostering role of risk capital, such as mentorship on the performance of start-ups, and to do this we analyzed the effects, as a newly introduced form of venture capital, of mentoring by an accelerator and investor ties on the performance outcomes of start-ups. We find that mentoring and investor ties for start-up enterprises positively influence follow-up investment in start-ups. In addition, this study finds that with a younger CEO of a start-up, it is more likely that the performance of the start-up will improve. Meanwhile, when examining increases in employment as a measure of the business performance of start-ups, mentoring and investor ties are found to have a positive effect on the increase of employment at start-ups. These results suggest that there is a need to promote policies that strengthen the mentoring role of venture capital in Korea's equity finance policies and in the government's SME support policies.
