Military experience has a great impact on a soldier ability to handle risks. Therefore, when those soldiers become managers, they may behave differently in making risky corporate decisions, especially in activities like the R&D investment. However, studies on how military experience affect R&D have been largely missing in the largest emerging economy, i.e. China, despite that the country hires a higher percentage of military managers than the US. In addition, it remains a question whether military managers affect the state-owned enterprises (SOEs) in China, as many of the corporate decisions are made by the government. This paper tries to address these questions. The imprinting theory and the upper echelon theory suggest that managers' personal experience can affect their behaviour, which in turn influences their corporate decisions. In this paper, we examine whether managers with military experience lead to higher R&D investment and whether such an effect exists in state-owned enterprises. Based on a sample of listed firms in China's A-share market over 2008-2017, we make two findings. First, companies with military managers have high R&D investment. By dividing managers' military positions into high and low rank, we find that companies tend to have higher (lower) R&D investment if their managers hold a high-rank (low-rank) position. Second, the effect of high-rank military managers on R&D investment is more pronounced if the manager is also the founder and the company is a non-state-owned enterprise. For low-ranking military managers, a stronger effect on R&D investment is also observed if they are also the founder, but whether their companies are state-owned or not has no impact on R&D investment. This study identifies managers' military experience as a contributing factors to corporate R&D investment in the largest emerging economy. This paper tests an implication of the imprinting theory and the upper echelon theory, i.e., managers' personal experience can affect their behaviour, which in turn influences their corporate decisions. Specifically, we focus on one aspect of personal experience - military experience - and look at whether it is beneficial to firms' technological innovation, therefore enriches the literature of managerial heterogeneity. Our findings on the influence of managers' military experience on firms' technological innovation can help us better understand the role of managers play in corporate decision making, and how managers' individual traits interact with the firm's characteristics.

Purpose - The present study aims to examine the relationship between small enterprise start-up preparatory factors and increases in sales and operating profits, which are business performances utilizing the National Survey of Actual Conditions of Small Enterprises conducted by the Small Enterprise, Market Service. Research design, data, and methodology - Start-up preparatory factors were divided into six types; business type, start-up history, start-up motives, preparatory periods, and start-up funds to figure out the relationship between sales and operating profits with regression analyses. Regression analyses were conducted based on the foregoing with a view to identifying the effects of start-up preparatory factors on business performance. Results - Since start-up preparatory factors generally affect business performance, it was identified that start-up preparatory factors importantly affect operating profits and sales, which are business performances. However, start-up preparatory periods and the implementation of education among preparatory activities were shown to have no effect on business performances, and the effect of the ratio of start-up fund provided by the founder on operating profits was shown to be not significant. Conclusions - The present study comprehensively examined those start-up preparatory factors that have positive effects on business performances after start-up.

본 연구는 외식사업을 하고 있는 경영자와 창업자들의 마케팅에 관한 방법과 활동이 영업지속기간과 경영성과에 어떠한 영향을 미치며 이들의 창업에 대한 인식과 마케팅의 방법에 따라 영업지속기간과 경영성과도 달라지리라는 것을 알아보고자 하였다. 때문에 본 연구에서는, 첫 번째, 외식업체는 마케팅관리에 영향을 미칠 것이다. 두 번째 마케팅관리는 경영실적에 영향을 미칠 것이다. 셋째, 외식창업은 경영실적에 영향을 미친다. 넷째, 마케팅관리는 지속기간에 영향을 미친다. 다섯째, 경영성과는 외식업지속 기간에 영향을 미칠 것이다. 라는 가설하에 본 연구를 실시하였다. 연구결과 모든 가설은 채택이 되었음을 알 수가 있다. 때문에 마케팅 활동, 마케팅 비용, 마케팅인식 등 외식사업의 경영기법에 따라 선진경영을 할 수 있도록 지속적으로 개선 연구하여야 하며, 그리고 창업시의 마케팅이 창업자에게는 중요한 요소임을 발견 할 수 있었다. 따라서 외식업 창업이나 경영을 하고자 하는 자는 마케팅관리 등에 많은 인적 물적 정성을 기울여야 할 것으로 보인다.
