While the goal of new IT adoption in small and medium sized firms is to choose an optimal system to fit with their own environments and conditions, that of IT post-adoption usage is to fully implement new IT and maximize their benefits from it. Therefore, the decision-making environments of new IT adoption is definitely different from those of post-adoption. Also, The direct experience of IT usage can provide some learning effect and the change of users' beliefs on new IT. From this point of view, this study attempts to figure out the differences of influencing factors on IOS usage intention between adopters and non-adopters. The results show that there are clear differences of influencing factors between two groups. Non-adopter group shows that perceived financial cost and ability of use have significant influences on IOS usage intention, while relative advantage and perceived risk in adopter group have statistically significant influences on post-adoption usage of IOS.

This paper develops a model of the export timing and export performance of venture firms by drawing by resource based view and born-global firm theory. The model aims at explaining the role of internal resources of small new venture firms and environment factors in accelerating the firm's export timing and achieving export growth. Hypothesses were developed around the following factors: management characteristics in terms of CEO's foreign experience and export commitment; organizational characteristics in terms of technological competence and marketing competence, and inter-functional cooperation; and finally environmental factors in terms of domestic and market attractiveness and foreign market attractiveness influence both the export timing and export performance. Structural equation modeling analysis by using 214 small new ventures provides a partial supports for the hypotheses. The result showed that technological competence have an influence on early export timing and that CEO's foreign experience and export commitment, technological competence and foreign market attractiveness are related export performance significantly. It also showed the significant relationship between export timing and export performance.

This paper examines the effect of the global financial crisis on corporate investment in Korea. Specifically, the crisis was considered to have possibly constrained firm-level investment as the negative shock to the credit supply dramatically unfolded. As Duchin et al. (2010) demonstrated, if a negative supply-side shock is evident during a crisis period, larger cash holdings before the crisis will lead to fewer constraints to corporate investment, or vice versa. In order to investigate the supply-side effect of the crisis, we use firm-level financial data, including firms listed on the Korean stock market as well as small and medium-sized enterprises. We find that corporate investment declined significantly after the crisis, even if we control for factors associated with the demand side, such as contemporaneous capital productivity and cash flow. More importantly, the decline is positively and significantly related to cash holdings before the crisis, implying the negative effect of a credit supply shock. Small and medium enterprises experienced relatively sharp investment declines compared to those of larger firms, and the relationship between pre-crisis cash amounts and the degree of investment decline is greater than that in large firms. Additionally, we examine whether the negative effect persists up to the present, finding evidence that the cash-investment relationship continues in small and medium-sized enterprises.

본 연구는 대구지역 벤처기업의 입지 및 비즈니스서비스 네트워크 특성을 실증적으로 분석하였다. 대구지역 벤처기업들은 소프트웨어분야에서 연구개발투자와 특허 신기술 분야의 사업 유형이 주를 이루고 있으며, 기업체 근무 경력이 있는 고학력자들에 의해 1990년대 중반 이후 창업된 소규모 기업들이 다양한 성장 전략을 모색하고 있다. 대구지역 벤처기업들은 달서구와 북구의 일부 지역에 집중 분포하는 경향을 보이고 있으며, 업종별로 약간의 차이는 있으나 대체로 연구 대학과의 접근, 정보 획득 용이, 저렴한 용지 이용 등이 주요 입지요인으로 작용하였다. 그리고 이들 기업들은 고객 기업과의 네트워크를 고려하여 이전 여부를 결정한다. 벤처기업과 비즈니스서비스와의 네트워크 특성을 보면, 대구지역 벤처기업들이 이용하는 비즈니스서비스 업체 수는 적은 편이지만, 그 중 정보처리 및 기타 컴퓨터 운영관련업과 전문과학 및 기술서비스업 부문의 서비스 업체 수는 많은 편이다. 비즈니스서비스산업 중 정보처리 및 기타 컴퓨터 운영 관련업, 연구 및 개발업, 사업지원서비스에 대한 이용 빈도가 높고, 전문과학 및 기술서비스업에 대한 이용 빈도는 낮다. 대구지역 벤처기업들이 이용하는 비즈니스서비스업체는 대구지역에 주로 분포하며, 기술 및 지식이 부족하기 때문에 비즈니스서비스를 이용한다.

경제위기 이후 은행 등 금융기관의 기업 규모별 대출분포를 살펴보면 대규모 기업에서 중소규모 기업으로 그 비중이 이동하였음을 알 수 있다. 이러한 현상의 원인 중 하나로 경제위기 이후 진행된 금융구조 개혁으로 금융기관의 대출관행이 개선된 점을 들 수 있다. 경제위기 이후 회사채시장에서도 중요한 변화가 정착되고 있다. 경제위기 이전에는 기업 또는 그룹의 규모 자체가 회사채 조달에 있어 중요한 결정요인 중 하나였는데, 경제위기 이후 그러한 현상이 사라져가고 있는 것이다. 이는 경제위기 이전에는 소위 "대마불사"의 신화로 일반투자자들이 대규모 재벌의 회사채를 수익성과 관계없이 선호하였으나, 1999년 대우그룹 붕괴 및 2000~2001년 현대그룹 유동성 위기 등으로 그러한 불합리한 믿음이 깨지게 된 것과 밀접한 관련이 있다.

이 논문은 2000년 이후 R&D분야의 정부 연구개발 직접보조금이 기업의 연구개발 투자를 진작 또는 대체 시키는지 여부 및 기업유형별 정부의 보조금 효과가 달라지는가에 대해 Difference-in-Differences (DTD) 모형을 이용하여 실증적으로 분석하였다. 그 결과 정부의 연구개발 보조수혜는 기업 연구개발 투자를 평균적으로 13.9%증가시키는 보완적 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 보조금의 액수가 1% 증가할 때 기업의 자체개발 연구비는 평균적으로 0.031% 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 기업유형별로는 대기업의 경우 보다 강력한 보완효과가 나타났으나 벤처기업이나 중소 기업의 경우는 정부보조금지원이 연구개발비 확대를 초래했다는 실증적 증거를 발견하지 못하였다.

We analyze a duopoly competition when two firms face input cost increases. The objective of this study is to determine the firms' optimal strategy between a price increase and downsizing under conditions of a spatially differentiated market and consumers' diminishing utility on the product size. We develop a theoretical model of two competing firms offering homogenous products using the standard Hotelling model to determine how firms' optimal strategies change when facing input cost increases. In this paper, there are two types of duopoly competitions: symmetric and asymmetric. In the symmetric case, the two firms have the same marginal cost and are producing and selling identical products. In the asymmetric case, the two firms have different marginal costs. The results show that the optimal strategy decision depends on the size of the input cost increase and the cost differences between the two firms. We find that when two firms are asymmetric (i.e., they have different marginal costs), the two firms might choose asymmetric pairs of strategies in equilibrium under certain conditions. When the cost differences between the two firms are sufficiently large and the cost increase is sufficiently small, the cost leader chooses price increase, and the cost-disadvantaged firm chooses downsizing in equilibrium. This asymmetric strategy reduces price competition between two firms, and consumers are better off. When the cost differences between the two firms are sufficiently large, downsizing is the dominant strategy for the cost-disadvantaged firm. The cost-disadvantaged firm finds it more profitable to reduce the product size than to increase its price to reduce price competition, because consumers prefer downsizing to price increases. This paper might be a good starting point for further analytical research in this area.

본 연구는 중소기업에 대한 정부지원의 직접효과(과제성공)와 간접효과(매출성장)를 재무적으로 어려운 한계기업과 정상기업간의 차이에 초점을 두어 실증적으로 분석하였다. 한계기업이 기술개발 역량(과제성공)에도 문제가 있고 과제 후의 자립적 방식의 경제적 회생역량(매출성장)에도 문제가 있다면, 정부재원의 효율적, 효과적 운용과 정부R&D과제의 관리측면 효율성을 위해서도 이러한 기업을 지원에서 배제하는 것이 마땅할 것이다. 만약 그렇지 않다면, 정부R&D가 자본시장의 실패를 보완하여 가능성 있는 한계기업의 회생에 도움을 주는 긍정적 역할을 수행할 수도 있을 것이다. 본 연구는 중소벤처기업부의 2013년 및 2014년 총 7개 R&D지원사업에 참여한 7,575개 수혜기업을 분석대상으로 하였다. 로지스틱 회귀분석의 결과, 한계기업의 과제성공확률은 정상기업과 차이가 없었지만, 과제 후의 매출성장경향은 정상기업보다 작다는 점을 확인하였다. 한계기업에 한해서는 정부과제에 성공한 기업이 실패한 기업보다 매출성장 경향이 더 크다는 결과도 도출하였다.

This paper aims to investigate how and to what extent FDI impacts the relative demand for skilled labor within firms in the case of developing countries. The analysis uses a sizeable micro-level dataset for Malaysian manufacturing industries using the System-GMM estimators to control the estimations' endogeneity problems. For this purpose, the study uses foreign equity share at the firm level to investigate foreign ownership effects at the firm level and the Horizontal FDI index by Smarzynska Javorcik (2004) to analyze FDI intra-industry linkages influence on the structure of labor demand for Malaysian domestic firms. Our findings indicate that foreign ownership increases the skilled demand within Malaysian manufacturing through the learning process, exclusively for small- and medium-sized firms (SMEs). Conversely for foreign-owned firms, changes in their skilled-labor share do not associate with changes in firm-level foreign equity share. We conclude that foreign ownership per se is not the major contributing factor for skill upgrading in Malaysian manufacturing firms. Furthermore, the competitive pressures caused by foreign firms' presence within the same industry - namely horizontal FDI - has a significant negative spillover effect on the level of skilled-labor share for domestic firms in the Malaysian manufacturing sector within periods of the understudies.

This study explores the effects of exports on the innovation of Korean firms listed on two Korean stock markets, the Korean Stock Exchange and the Korean Securities Dealers Quotations, between 1999 and 2016. By matching exporting firms to non-exporting ones with propensity score matching, this study accounts for a problem from sample selection bias that may arise from differences in firm-characteristics between the two groups. From the study results, first, both export participation and export volume significantly increase subsequent innovation performance, as measured by the number of patent applications. This result seems to support the "learning by exporting" hypothesis for Korean listed firms. Second, both export participation and export volume narrow innovation scope, proxied as the number of unique International Patent Classification (IPC) codes of the patent applied, the degree to which patents are concentrated in a particular class, and the degree of proximity in the patents. The findings of innovation scope suggest a possible explanation that the learning effect appears in familiar technology fields that firms have previously held, rather than in unfamiliar ones. Third, these results are robust using alternative proxies in the innovation scope, Tobit regressions to consider the non-trivial portion of sample firms with patent applications equal to zeros, and generalized method of moments (GMM) to control for the persistence of innovation measures hearing over years. Finally, the two main results are more pronounced in large firms than in small and medium-sized ones. As for Chaebol firms, however, these results do not appear.
