  • 한국이나 미국 모든 지역에서 창업초기 투자가 활성화되고 이에 힘입은 엔젤투자가 급증하면서 엔젤투자의 투자와 전통적 VC 투자의 사이에 간극이 커지며 Series A Crunch 현상이 심화되고 있다. 따라서 엔젤투자의 투자와 전통적 VC 투자 사이에 존재하는 창업초기 투자펀드 캐즘구간(Series A Crunch)을 보완하며 양자 사이의 가교펀드(Bridge Fund) 역할을 하는 펀드에 대한 필요성이 증가하고 있다. 이에 본 연구는 국내외 Series A Crunch 개념과 현상에 대한 초래원인을 분석하고 이를 극복하는 Micro VC펀드의 도입방안에 대한 정책방안을 제시하였다.

  • 은행의 수익성과 관련하여 어떠한 요인들이 영향을 미치는지 연구하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 은행의 수익성 개선을 위한 자금조달구조의 다양화 측면에서 기존연구와 달리 시장성수신비중을 주요 관심변수로 하여 8개의 설명변수와 총자산영업이익률을 수익성 지표로 사용하여 가설설정하고 전체기간과 금융위기 전 후 로 비교 분석하여 차이를 보고자 한다. 다중회귀분석한 결과, 모든 분석기간에서 유의미한 결과가 나타나는 수익성 요인은 원화예대금리차, 점포수, 고정이하여신비율이며 국내은행은 원화예대금리차가 커지고 점포수가 증가할수록 수익성도 향상되고 부실여신이 증가하면 수익성도 하락하는 것을 알 수 있다. 시장성수신비중은 은행의 수익성에 통계적으로 유의미한 영향을 주지는 못하는 것으로 나타났다. 글로벌 금융위기이전에는 거시경제지표의 영향을 받기 보다는 개별 은행의 상황 및 다른 금융환경의 영향을 더 받았다는 것을 알 수 있으며 금융위기이후에는 은행의 여신이 증가하면서 수익성도 향상되는 것으로 추정할 수 있다. 은행의 수익성 요인은 분석 기간별 특징이 있다고 추론되며 이에 그 의미와 시사점을 가진다. 향후 은행산업의 수익성에 관한 연구는 특수은행이 포함된 국내은행 전체로 대상을 확대할 필요가 있다.

  • This study adopted the descriptive survey research method. The population of this study comprised of the hearing impaired students in selected government secondary schools in Rivers state. The population of hearing impaired students in Rivers State is 257. A simple random sampling technique was used to select a sample size of 159. A self-developed instrument titled "Availability and Utilization of Library Information Resources Questionnaire (AULIRQ)" was utilized for data collection. 153 responses were collated, indicating a 96.2% response rate. The data collected was arranged and analyzed using frequency count, percentages, and mean and standard deviation. Finding reveals that information resources in the libraries understudied were inadequate and under-utilized. Also, it was established that among other barriers, under-funding is a major barrier to making information resources available for the physically challenged. It was recommended that schools offering special education for the hearing impaired should pace up in their developmental gap by providing such resources and ensure adequate funding by all stakeholders.

  • Entrepreneurial financing, such as publicly initiated venture capital or grant schemes, serves as an important policy instrument that aims to bridge the financing gap facing young, innovative businesses, a gap that is mainly due to higher risk and growing uncertainty, and to strategically promote the creation of new ventures through the revitalization of their venture capital industries. This study examines public venture capital initiatives in Australia, Canada, and Sweden, and discovered that all three countries actively foster their venture capital industry through the formation of funds or the provision of tax incentives. It is notable that the majority of financing initiatives heavily depend on supply-side measures rather than demand-driven policies that focus on stimulating private investment in technological innovations and discoveries. This paper discusses in-depth the policy impact of public financing initiatives and their subsequent side-effects raised in the process such as overlapping in funding structure across the country, lack of monitoring and evaluation for feedback, fragmentation across the government ministries and agencies, and competition with the private sector, which may cause inefficiency as a result of public intervention. Financial constraints may arise for many reasons, partly resulting from the lack of investment readiness of young entrepreneurs. This signals a policy shift towards the creation of market-driven demand away from the traditional supply-push approach, and is a grand challenge to policymakers in entrepreneurial financing. Attention is leaning towards the efficiency and effectiveness of these public-financing initiatives in terms of their policy roles. It is worth noting that policy should focus on generating synergy so available resources can be channeled into the early, risky stage of new ventures, working as facilitator to the achievement of an intended policy goal.

  • Innovation plays a large role in green growth. While it is a widely accepted view that, without innovation, it would be very difficult and costly to address major environmental issues, innovation itself tends to be constrained by limited access to eco-financing and is inherently risky, often requiring a long-term horizon. Although global consensus is more or less established as to the urgency and necessity of accelerating green innovation, the quality and quantity of financing in this area is largely insufficient, with increasing funding gaps in many countries. A new financial mechanism is urgently needed in order to re-orient financial flow and enable innovators to overcome the valleys of death that occur throughout the innovation cycle. A number of different modalities exist in financing the commercialisation of eco-innovation. Existing mechanisms have not been as successful as expected, revealing critical limits to furthering certain types of projects that are essential for economic and environmental progress. Experts' estimations have shown that the funding gap will widen in the coming years as demand for clean energy and green infrastructure rises, and as green technologies and innovation develop faster than the market for it can develop. Against this backdrop, the main purpose of this research is threefold: to identify issues and problems regarding current means of funding for eco-innovation and green projects; to provide insight into securing longterm green financing by looking at European cases; and ultimately to suggest policy implications for designing and implementing eco-specific financial instruments, focusing on governments' roles in sustainable financing for eco-innovation. This study analyses different models of financing mechanisms, a mix of public and private funds, in view of suggesting conditions for the sustainable financing of green projects, especially for large-scale high-risk projects. Based on the findings from the analyses of mechanisms and the shortcomings of the existing funding modalities, this study ultimately suggests policy implications for effectively supporting the commercialisation of eco-innovation.

  • With Beijing's success in bidding for the 2008 Olympic Games, the increasing demand for infrastructure development and reduced public sector funding capacity has created a significant funding gap which calls for alternative project delivery methods such as Public-Private Partnership (PPP). Although the exploration of infrastructure projects using PPP model have been practiced since the late 80s, the $560 million National Stadium which served as the main venue for the Olympic Games is the first stadium project in China to be delivered under PPP operation. The project is generally considered successful despite the concession transfer in 2009 with concern of better serving the public interest. Compared to other infrastructure projects such as transportation, waste management and water management, the development of major sports facilities for mega-sports events with PPP has its own unique features and is subject to different major risks. This research identifies and analyzes critical risks in the implementation of PPP in major sports facility development through case study of the National Stadium project. A questionnaire survey and several interviews are conducted to solicit expert opinions from experienced practitioners. The purpose is to provide additional insights in risk management strategies and opportunities in China's PPP implementations in major sports facilities for policy makers and private sectors involved with investment decisions in future similar infrastructure development.

  • 창업활성화와 중소기업의 안정적인 성장을 유도하기 위해 다양한 지원 정책이 추진되고 있다. 정부에서는 조세 금융의 직접적인 방법과 지원 사업을 통한 간접적인 방법으로 효과적인 지원을 위해 노력하고 있다. 그러나 정부의 창업정책에 대한 견해는 여전히 팽팽하다. 지원의 필요성에 대해서는 공감하고 있으나, 지원 방식과 지원사업의 실효성에 대해 논의가 이어지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 정부 창업지원 사업의 실효성을 확인하기 위해 창업지원 사업에 대한 중요도와 만족도를 평가하고자 한다. 이를 위해 정부창업지원 사업을 경험한 ICT 창업 기업을 대상으로 설문을 수행하였으며, 이 중 128개를 대상으로 GAP 분석 및 ISA 분석을 진행하였다. 정부 창업지원 사업에 대한 GAP 분석 결과, 중요도(5.221)에 비해 만족도(4.408)가 낮게 측정되었으며, 이를 통해 창업지원 사업에 대한 수혜자의 평가는 부정적임을 확인하였다. 중요도-만족도 분석 결과 유지 영역에는 'R&D', '사업화'가 위치하고 있으며, 집중 영역에는 '정책자금', '판로 마케팅 해외진출' 지원 사업이 포함되어 있다. 저순위 영역에는 '창업행사 네트워크' 항목이 포함되어 있으며, 마지막으로 과잉 영역에는 '시설 공간', '멘토링 컨설팅', '창업 교육'이 위치하고 있다. 각각의 창업지원 사업이 전반적인 중요도에 미치는 영향력을 분석하고자 다중회귀분석을 실시한 결과, 'R&D', '창업교육', '정책자금'의 순서대로 만족도에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구 결과를 바탕으로 ICT창업기업에 대한 지원 정책 수립과 제도 개선을 통해 정부 창업지원사업의 질적 수준을 개선하는 데 기여할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

  • This paper discusses government-backed venture capital as a science, technology and innovation (STI) policy instrument from the Chinese perspective. China aspires to overhaul its growth model by vigorously promoting technological innovation and entrepreneurship. Like many other countries, however, funding gaps constrain new technology ventures in the early stages of venture development. To plug this gap, China attempts to use government-backed venture capital as a policy instrument. Super-size central government-backed VCs were set up and dozens of similar schemes are in operation at local levels. This paper provides a case study of such government-backed venture capital schemes in China. It documents the background conditions explaining the country's need for public venture capital, describes the distinct features of program design in such schemes, and assesses the impact of government-backed venture capital.

  • Fraunhofer was founded in 1949 and grew into Europe's largest application-oriented research organization. Fraunhofer currently employs over 20,000 members in Germany, is internationally networked, and manages an R&D budget of over 1,8 Billion Euros per year. An important step for Fraunhofer to become an integral component of the German innovation system was the introduction of the Fraunhofer Model of financing based on a performance-related system of financial management. The underlying model of the allocation and distribution of public funding to Fraunhofer that is subsequently allotted to specific research groups is one of the success factors of Fraunhofer. Fraunhofer is proud of its decentralized organizational model. Fraunhofer is comprised of 60 Institutes in Germany working in different fields, under one legal framework, and with a strong brand value. Every Fraunhofer Institute is affiliated with a German University and every institute director simultaneously holds a chair at the affiliated university. It is a challenge for the headquarter organization to balance the intended competition of individual Fraunhofer Institutes with complementarity cooperation in science among Fraunhofer-Institutes, especially when coming from different knowledge domains; however, this goal results in a significant advantage. The unique strengths of Fraunhofer offer system solutions in a world with increasingly complex R&D challenges. While growing to become the largest organization on Europe to focus on applied research it is the challenge to remain an agile organization that is flexible in organizational structure. Fraunhofer has reached a well-recognized position in the European innovation landscape. It is often referred to by science and governments as a role model for innovation policy and a key element of the latest successes in the German economy that has recovered quicker from the latest economic crisis than most other western economies. The paper explains Fraunhofer as an organizational paradigm and its underlying management model to elaborate on the challenges of managing a research organization. We wish to show how it is possible to transfer the management model and philosophy of Fraunhofer to innovation systems with different framework conditions and challenges. A universal conclusion may be drawn based on the description of Fraunhofer; however, changes in existing structures and innovation systems cannot be implemented over night.
