최근 산업계 전반은 코로나19 장기화에 따라 빠른 속도로 디지털트랜스포메이션이 가속화 되고 있다. 디지털트랜스포메이션의 비즈니스 모델은 기업의 성과에 영향을 미치는데, 새로운 비즈니스 모델로서의 가능성은 기업의 성과와 결과에 영향을 미친다. 또한 산업생태계 자체가 디지털 기술로 인해 재구성되는 디지털 변혁 시대 스타트업의 하이퍼스케일업(Hyper-Scaleup)이 중요해지고 있다. 코로나 대유행시기 동안 사회적 거리두기 정책으로 인해 스타트업은 많은 손실을 경험하였고, 이러한 문제를 극복하기 위해 비즈니스 피벗이 필요하며 비즈니스 전환은 필수이다. 물리적 제한이 없는 디지털 세계에서 변화하는 고객의 변화에 신속하게 대응해야 하고 이러한 변화 대응력을 높여야 하는 벤처 생태계를 중심으로 피벗이 중요한 비즈니스 전략으로 등장하고 있다. 이에 따라 본 연구에서는 첫째, 스타트업의 새로운 가치창출을 위해 창업아이템, 하이퍼스케일업, 비즈니스 피벗의 개념을 분석하였다. 둘째, 창업생태계의 디지털 전환 시점에서 창업아이템과 하이퍼스케일업이 창업성과와의 실증 분석을 통해 유의한 영향 관계를 규명하였다. 셋째, 창업아이템과 하이퍼스케일업이 창업성과에 영향을 미칠 때 비즈니스 피벗의 조절효과를 분석하였다. 마지막으로 이러한 연구결과를 바탕으로 스타트업 관점에서 디지털트랜스포메이션을 바르게 이해하고, 실무적 시사점을 제시하였다.

Based on the findings of Lee et al.(2020) and Lee & Oh(2021), this paper aims to fill the gap in our knowledge regarding the relationship between strategic choices and corporate growth by utilizing a novel dataset of 'Unicorn' and 'Hyper-growing' companies. Two previous studies provide coherent findings that the relationship between firms' strategies and their performance should be explored under a more comprehensive framework with consideration of both internal and external factors. Therefore, in this study, we apply a single conceptual framework to two different datasets, which considers the strategy factors as independent variables, and the industry(market) and the firm age as moderating variables. For our dependent variables, valuations for unicorn companies and revenue CAGR for hyper-growing companies are used after categorizing them into three uniform groups. The strategy variables include 'Generic (Cost-leadership, Differentiation, focus) strategies', 'Growth(Organic, M&A) strategies', 'Leading(Pioneer, Fast-follower) strategies', 'Target market(B2B, B2C, B2G, C2C) strategies', 'Global(Global, Local) strategies', 'Digital(Online, Offline) strategies.' For industry(market) factors, it consists of historical growth rate for industries and economic, demographic, and regulatory aspects of states and countries. To overcome the differences in their units, they are also uniformly categorized into multiple groups. Before we conduct a regression analysis, we analyze the industry distribution of the 'Unicorn' and the 'Hyper-growing' companies with descriptive statistics at the integrated and individual levels. Next, we employ hierarchical regression models on Study A('Unicorn' companies in 2019) and Study B('Hyper-growing' companies in 2019) under the same comprehensive framework. We then analyze the relationship between the 'strategy' and the 'performance' factors with two different approaches: 1) an integrated regression model with both the sample of Study A and B and 2) respective regression models on Study A and B. This empirical study aims to provide a complete understanding and a reference to which strategy factors should be considered to promote firms' scale-up and growth.

In the pyroprocessing of spent nuclear fuels, fuel materials are recovered by electrochemical reactions on the surface of electrodes as well as stirring the electrolyte in electrolytic cells such as electrorefiner, electroreducer and electrowinner. The system with this equipment should first be scaled-up in order to commercialize the pyroprocessing. So in this study, the scale-up for those electrolytic cells was studied to design a large-scale system which can be employed in a commercial process in the future. Basically the dimensions of both electrolytic cells and electrodes should be enlarged on the basis of the geometrical similarity. Then the criterion of constant power input per unit volume, characterizing the fluid behavior in the cells, was introduced in this study and a calculation process based on trial-and-error methode was derived, which makes it possible to seek a proper speed of agitation in the electrolytic cells. Consequently examples of scale-up for an arbitrary small scale system were shown when the criterion of constant power input per unit volume and another criterion of constant impeller tip speed were respectively applied.

This paper is on the policy proposal for venture ecosystem. First, one of the three secrets of the US venture ecosystem is the law of 50:50. Angel capital investment is as important as venture capital investment. Although professional angel investors and accelerators account for as much as VC in the venture ecosystem, they are ignored from policy considerations. We argue that the revision of related law is urgent. Second, large US firms invest more in M&As than in internal R&D. Therefore, accelerators and professional angel investors could make effective investment recovery after investing in a startup company. In other words, angel capital does not come in without secondary market development. Angel capital and secondary markets are the two pillars of the venture ecosystem. The government alone is difficult to develop a secondary market. This is why the private sector should come in and introduce corporate venture capital (CVC). Third, we believe the policy direction for national economic growth should be extended from the startup to scale-up. This is because the startup's sales and job creation will start in five years. While the previous study focused on funding (venture financing), this paper aims to balance all three stages of a venture: startup, growth, and recovery, which are the life cycle of a venture company or venture investment. In particular, we propose specific policies in each chapter to improve practical application.
