This study focuses on the knowledge-transfer activities of Korean universities at the organisational level. Considering the idiosyncratic characteristics of the Korean university system, as well as those of universities in other recently developed Asian countries experienced a rapid economic catch-up, this study is more interested in the relationship between the scientific capacity of universities and their knowledge-transfer activities, and between universities' funding sources and their knowledge-transfer activities. According to the results of the study, scientific capacity in a specific discipline, such as engineering, is important for universities in both other developed countries and in Korea, while scientific capacity (regardless of the discipline) is apparently not important for Korean universities, particularly in the area of domestic publication. Furthermore, this result supports the proposition suggested that strategically chosen industrial sectors in rapid catch-up countries are closely related to the scientific capacity of universities in specific disciplines. In terms of funding sources, the amount of funding from industry is strongly related to the knowledge-transfer activities of universities, whereas the proportion of funding from industry relative to the total amount of funding is not as significantly related to knowledge-transfer activities. The failure to identify a significant relationship between central government funding and knowledge-transfer activities may be due to less strict requirements for commercialisation in central government R&D programmes. Otherwise, central government funding fails to generate meaningful knowledge-transfer activities in universities.

본 연구는 크라우드 펀딩(Crowd Funding)과 관련된 이론 및 관련 연구성과를 검토하고 크라우드 펀딩의 벤처창업에의 활용 가능성을 분석하는 데에 그 목적을 두고 있다. 이를 위해서 최근 정보기술 분야의 우수 논문들에서 논의되고 있는 이론과 프레임워크를 분석한 후, 크라우드 펀딩의 이론적 틀을 제시하며, 벤처창업의 관점에서 크라우드 펀딩 플랫폼의 활용 가능성을 모색하였다. 본 연구에서는 크라우드 펀딩의 프로젝트 라이프 사이클과 이해당사자 분석에 기초한 이론적 프레임워크를 제시하고 주요 부문 별로 크라우드 펀딩의 장단점 분석을 수행하고 크라우드 펀딩 플랫폼의 벤처창업 가능성을 기존 우수 연구를 검토함으로써 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 크라우드 펀딩의 다수를 차지하고 있는 정보재의 특성 상 고정 비용이 높고 가변 비용이 상당히 작기 때문에 고정 비용의 사업 위험성을 대중의 지혜를 통해 심사하고 초기 수요를 확보함으로서 초기 벤처의 위험을 관리할 수 있다는 측면에서 초기 벤처의 자금 플랫폼으로써 긍정적인 기대효과가 예상된다. 하지만, 이전 연구결과를 검토해본 바, 정보의 비대칭성으로 말미암아 대중의 지혜가 작동하지않고 집단사고로 흘러 크라우드 펀딩이 심사 능력이 발휘되지 못할 경우에는 초기 벤처에 또 다른 위협이 될 수 있다. 본 연구결과는 크라우드 펀딩의 이론적 이해와 더불어 벤처 창업 활용 가능성에 대한 분석으로 창조경제를 지향하는 정부의 정책적 지원 방안의 기초자료가 될 수 있다는 추가적인 시사점을 찾을 수 있으며 향후 후속연구를 통해 프레임워크 활용가능성을 실증 연구할 예정이다.

Purpose - Based on the funding-horizon theory, this study aims to test the effects of cash needs and the persistence of external funding needs on firms' external financing. Design/methodology/approach - Financial data of Korean listed companies were collected from DataGuide. Immediate and near-term cash shortfalls are defined using the methodology of Haung and Ritter (2021). We estimate multinomial logit regressions for the financing choice. Findings - First, all three cash depletion variables used in our study increase the likelihood of external financing. Second, firms prefer to issue debt to meet immediate spending and equity to meet long-lived cash needs. Third, this effect is more pronounced for high R&D firms. Fourth, chaebol firms with internal capital markets defer raising external capital for immediate and near-term cash needs. Research implications or Originality - This paper provide empirical evidence that immediate and near-term cash needs induce external financing, and the persistence of cash needs affects the choice between debt and equity, the finding which is consistent with the funding-horizon theory of financing decisions. Being the first paper to test the funding-horizon theory using Korean data, this paper contributes to the literature on the capital structure of Korean firms.

As arbitration is widely used as an alternative dispute resolution mechanism, third-party funding, which is a person or entity with no prior interest in the legal dispute providing non-recourse financing for one of the parties, has become more prevalent with increasing costs of international arbitration. In particular, Hong Kong and Singapore are the first jurisdictions to adopt and implement legislations to specifically permit third-party funding of international arbitration. Thus, in this article, relevant issues with respect to third-party funding of arbitration, such as, conflicts of interest, disclosure, privilege and confidentiality of information, cost allocation, security for costs, and control over arbitral proceedings by the third-party funder are examined with pertinent provisions of the recent legislations. While the respective legislations of Hong Kong and Singapore may not directly address every issue raised by third-party funding of arbitration, as they make it clear that such is no longer prohibited by the old common law doctrines of champerty and maintenance, they have clarified conflicting case law as well as proactively promoted themselves as leading seats of international arbitration.

As a nation experiencing rapid economic growth, South Korea and its government have made a continuous effort toward efficient research investments to achieve transformation of the Korean industry for the fourth industrial revolution. To achieve the maximum effectiveness of the research investments, it is necessary to evaluate its funding's worth and default risk. Thus, incorporating the concepts of the Black-Scholes-Merton model and the Greeks, this study develops a default-risk evaluation model in the foundation of a system dynamics methodology. By utilizing the proposed model, this study estimates the monetary worth and the default risks of research funding in the public and private sectors of Information and Communication technologies, along with the sensitivity of the R&D economic worth of research funding to changes in a given parameter. This study finds that the public sector has more potential than the private sector in terms of monetary worth and that the default risks of three types of research funding are relatively high. Through a sensitivity analysis, the results indicate that uncertainty in volatility, operation period, and a risk-free interest rate has trivial impacts on the monetary worth of research funding, while volatility has large impacts on the default risk among the uncertain factors.

타트업의 투자 의사결정에 대한 연구들은 활발하게 이루어져 왔다. 하지만, 주로 투자자의 관점에서 연구가 되었기 때문에 피투자 기업의 전략적인 활동은 간과되어왔다. 특히, 스타트업 투자는 일시적으로 한 순간의 결정으로 이루어지는 것이 아닌, 투자 유치 진행과정을 통해 결정된다. 뿐만 아니라, 단계별로 의사결정의 핵심 요소가 달라질 수 있으므로, 스타트업의 초기 투자 유치를 이해하기 위해서는 투자자 만남에서 투자 유치 성공에 이르기까지 전 과정에 걸쳐, 스타트업 기업의 전략적 행동을 분석할 필요가 있다. 이를 위해 핀미러 기술을 활용한 증강현실 (Augumented Reality, AR) 스타트업인 (주)레티널의 사례를 통해 "어떻게" 초기 스타트업이 투자 유치에 성공할 수 있었는지, 피투자자인 스타트업 관점에서 연구하였다. 구체적으로, 본 연구에서는 스타트업이 투자를 받기 전 존재 자체를 알리기 위한 정당성 확보하는 단계를 추가시켜 기존 투자 프로세스 모델을 확장하였다. 이를 바탕으로 1) 정당성 확보, 2) 친화, 3) 검토, 4) 협상 단계 등 4단계로 투자 진행 프로세스를 나누었고, 각 단계별 주요 요인을 분석하고, 스타트업의 전략적 활동을 파악했다. 본 연구는 스타트업의 투자 유치와 관련된 복잡한 과정과 피투자자인 스타트업 기업의 성공적인 전략적 행동들을 이해하는데 많은 도움이 될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Bank stability serves as a prerequisite for the smooth functioning of economic and financial activities in the country. Banks face numerous risks, and liquidity plays an essential role in determining a bank's long-term growth and financial stability. By using the sample of 70 banks of the Gulf Cooperation Council, this study examines the association between funding the liquidity and the creation of liquidity and their impact on bank stability. Firstly, the reciprocal relationship reveals between funding the liquidity and the creation of liquidity by employing the 2SLS regression model. Further, by employing the dynamic GMM model, the research finds that funding liquidity is significant and positively influences bank stability. However, bank stability is significantly negatively influenced by the creation of liquidity, but the combined effect of funding the liquidity and creation of liquidity positively explains the bank stability. Additionally, this study reveals that managerial optimism biases contribute to determining the bank's liquidity and long-term stability. The finding of this study supports the executives, policymakers, and management of banks in understating liquidity risks, efficiency, and bank stability. The findings support regulatory guidelines mainly by the Basel III framework, which places more importance on the joint management of funding the liquidity and creation of liquidity in the economy.

The study analyzed the cash flow and external funding in focusing on the relationship of the two factors in Korean hospitals and some changes in the relationship. The results analyzing this study were summarized as follows: First, the discriminant function of new external funds was generally the ratio of cash flow from operating activities to sales, the ratio of cash flow from investment activities to sales, the ratio of cash flow from financing activities to sales in order. The prediction rate of total discriminant function was more than 92%. Second, in case of Korean hospitals, it was known that the ratio of cash flow from operating activities to sales, particularly the net income to sales was the biggest influencing factor on the decision to external funding.

Crowd funding faces a number of significant obstacles despite its rapid growth and popularity, with the main one being the possible asymmetric information between fundraisers and potential supporters. A study taxonomy based on signalling theory has been created to compare projects originating from Taiwan and India. This was made possible by obtaining a dataset from the crowd funding website, Kickstarter (Global platform). To make the project effective, the study's goal is to look into how signals (e.g., goal-setting, comments, and updates) might be used to reduce the problem of information asymmetry. Thus, we applied an Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) regression. Both Taiwan and India demonstrated signal mitigation of information asymmetry, but Taiwan showed a stronger relationship between ambitious goals and successful projects than India. The relative importance of project comments has been found to be stronger in Taiwan than in India; the relative importance of project updates has been found to be weaker and negatively correlated with project success in India, in contrast to Taiwan. Notably, our findings provide a theoretical and practical framework for understanding and using signals in successful crowd funding campaigns and activities in these two emerging countries.
