After global economic crisis, China has become one of the two pillars in the global economies and the country contributing to the Korean economy. Nevertheless, the research on Chinese financial market, particularly capital market, is rare to date. This study examined the growth enterprise market that emergedat the Shenzhen stock exchange and made comparative analysis on before and after listing for the Chinese small and medium sized firms and venture firms. The listing requirements at the Chinese growth enterprise market for the technologically innovative venture firms and fast-growing small and medium sized firms with financing purpose were more alleviated than the main board of Shenzhen stock exchange. Moreover, the listing procedures are simplified as well. Accordingly, many Chinese enterprises tend to list and the competition for listing is also intense. In particular, with the 36 initially listed firms at growth enterprise market as the research target, the investigation for the business performance before and after listing reveals that the three indexes including return on common equity, debt ratio and operating profit growth rate dropped dramatically for most all the firms. That is, the profitability and growth for the venture firms and small and medium sized firms listed on the Chinese growth enterprise market decreased rapidly after going public, only the stability improved due to the great financing. Taking a step forward, this phenomenon may result from the exaggerated reporting for the business performance before listing with the purpose of going public by the venture firms and small and medium sized firms. Thus, Chinese Securities Regulatory Commission should strengthen the accounting evaluation standard and regulation for the listing firms before going public. In addition, strict sanctions should be imposed on the firms with fraudulent accounting to establish healthy capital market.

In this paper, the security characteristics of healthcare institutions were derived through analysis of previous research, and the characteristics and status of small and medium sized healthcare institutions were surveyed through field surveys of small and medium sized healthcare institutions. The security management evaluation model for small and medium sized healthcare institutions was designed and verified based on the security characteristics of small and medium healthcare institutions. For the design, we compared and analyzed existing security management system and evaluation certification system of healthcare institutions. We also confirmed the proposed security management evaluation model and the degree of sharing. In addition, we conducted validation for the statistical verification of the proposed security management evaluation model for small and medium sized healthcare institutions, and we performed the relative priority analysis through AHP analysis to derive the weight for each item. The result of this study is expected to be used as a standard of security management evaluation model that can be practiced in small and medium sized healthcare institutions.
