Previous studies have examined the relationship between corporate social responsibility and corporate's business performance (especially, consumers' corporate evaluation). According to them, the corporate social responsibility influences the consumers' corporate evaluation. A small and medium sized company as well as a large company is asked to conduct socially responsible actions, however, it is not easy to find a study that focuses on whether the effect of the corporate social responsibility on the consumers' corporate evaluation is different by the size of company. In this paper, we classified the corporate social responsibility into the four dimensions (economic responsibility, legal responsibility, ethical responsibility, philanthropic responsibility), and investigate the differences between a small and medium sized company and a large company in the effects of the four dimensions on the consumers' corporate evaluation. We showed that the each dimension of the corporate social responsibility had an positive effect on the corporate image regardless of the size of company. In addition, we demonstrated that the effects of the four dimensions on the company image were different by the size of company; The legal responsibility and ethical responsibility are more influential to the corporate image of a large company than to that of a small and medium sized company, however, the effects of economic responsibility and philanthropic responsibility are not different by the size of company.

중국의 전체 산업 중 기업 수를 토대로 볼 때 중소기업이 차지하는 비중은 99%이고, 종업원 수는 80%를 차지하며, 중국 국내총생산(GDP)의 60%를 차지하고 있어 중국 내 중소기업은 중국의 경제성장에 매우 중요한 영향을 미치고 있다. 이러한 시점에서 본 논문은 중국 심천증권거래소에 상장된 기업들 중 제조업에 속하는 45개 중소기업들을 대상으로 다중회귀분석을 이용하여 자본구조가 어떠한 요인들에 의하여 결정되는지를 확인하고자 하는데 연구목적이 있다. 본 연구결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 성장성은 부채비율에 1% 유의수준에서 유의적인 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 수익성은 부채비율에 1% 유의수준에서 부(-)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 기업규모는 부채비율에 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 넷째, 담보가치, 비부채성 절세효과는 부채비율에 약한 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으나 통계적으로 유의하지 않았다. 본 연구는 투자자들에 대한 정보제공과 중국 중소기업의 재무구조 개선을 위한 기초자료로 활용될 수 있다는 점에서 의의가 있다.

Purpose: Recent emergence of diverse businesses in the distribution industry has led small and medium-sized retailers and their distribution logistics centers to face difficulties. Transactions between companies are connected within a supply chain, and the companies have relationships in the form of a supplier and a buyer. Therefore, it is important to identify causes of problems among companies through supply chain and strategic partnerships, thus developing optimal management plans and maximizing performances of companies. This study proposes that sustainable supply chain management consists of product quality, price quality, distribution quality, and promotion quality based on stakeholder theory and resource-based view. This study examined the impacts of sustainable chain management factors on satisfaction and win-win cooperation. Research design, data, and methodology: In the proposed model, satisfaction plays a mediating role in the relationship between sustainable chain management and win-win cooperation. The data were collected from 245 owners who use small and medium-sized distribution logistics center and analyzed using 2SLS (two-stage least square) with SPSS 28.0. Exploratory factor analysis and correlation analysis were used to assess the validity and reliability of constructs. Results: The findings are as follows. In the case of the total and Nadeulgage samples, product, price, and distribution quality had a significant positive effect on satisfaction, but in the case of Neighborhood super, product and price quality have a significant positive effect on satisfaction. Satisfaction has a significant positive effect on win-win cooperation in the overall, Nadeulgage, and Neighborhood super. Satisfaction plays a partial or full mediating role in the case of total, Nadeulgage, Neighborhood super. Conclusions: This study emphasized the need for sustainable supply chain management of small and medium-sized distribution logistics centers by examining the relationship between small and medium-sized distribution logistics centers and chain stores. It was found that store satisfaction plays an important role in the win-win cooperation between small and medium-sized distribution logistics centers and chain stores.

글로벌 경제위기이후 중국은 세계경제의 두 축의 하나로 부상하였으며, 한국경제에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 국가로 자리매김 하고 있다. 그럼에도 불구하고, 현재까지 한국에서는 중국의 금융시장 특히는 자본시장에 관한 연구가 매우 적은 실정이다. 본 연구는 중국 심천증권거래소에 출범한 창업판시장을 살펴보고, 중국 중소벤처기업의 상장전후 경영성과를 비교분석하였다. 기술혁신 벤처기업과 고성장형 중소기업들의 자금조달을 목적으로 하는 중국 창업판시장에서 기업의 상장요건은 상해와 심천 증권거래소의 주시장보다 완화되어 있으며, 상장절차도 간소화되어 있다. 따라서 중국의 많은 기업들이 상장하고자 하며, 상장 경쟁도 매우 치열하다. 그리고 창업판시장에 최초로 상장한 36개 기업의 상장 전후의 경영성과를 살펴본 결과, 자기자본 순이익률 부채비율 영업이익증가율 등 3개 지표는 모두 크게 하락하였으며, 거의 모든 기업에서 이런 현상이 나타났다. 즉, 중국 창업판시장에 상장한 중소벤처기업들의 수익성과 성장성은 상장후 급속하게 하락하였으며, 많은 자금조달로 인하여 안정성만이 개선되어 있었다. 나아가 이러한 현상은 중소벤처기업들이 상장을 위하여 상장전 경영성과를 과대 포장한데서 기인한 것으로 분석되었다. 따라서 중국 증권감독관리위원회는 향후 상장기업에 대한 회계심사기준과 심사제도를 강화하여야 할 것이며, 분식회계기업에 대해서는 엄중한 제재조치를 실시하여 건전한 자본시장 풍토를 정착시켜야 할 것이다.
