The role of the national economy of small and medium-sized entrepreneurs is important in the environment of rapid competition and global competition. In this study, technology innovation ability and degree of its influence are measured by quintile as a key factor determining the size of Korean small and medium start-up companies. We apply the method of the quintile regression method as a method to overcome the theoretical limit of the existing research method which is focused on the application of the general regression analysis method. Next, as shown in the data to be empirically analyzed, the problem is explained in the traditional regression methods in the cross-analysis environment between the quintile of the response variables, and the alternative quintile regression method which improves the problem is applied.

This study investigated differences by university student’s socio-demographic feature to spinoff regulation, company, business restriction, and preference of founding with student graduating next semester living in capital area or near by. Also, tested factors influencing preference of founding of students to the attitude of spinoff regulation, company and business restriction by covariance structure analysis. In this case, this study also tested regulation effect of parent’s self-employed experience. The results are as follow. First, case of parent’s self-employed experience, case of founding failure factors influencing hesitation, university student who has lower than 600,000won pocket money had positive attitude towards company. Male student, parent’s not having self-employed experience had positive attitude towards government’s business restriction. In the other hand, male student who has higher pocket money and household income had positive attitude towards preference of founding. Second, By covariance structure analysis job and economic outlook environment statically effects the attitude of company. Meanwhile, variable effects business restriction was only economic view. If university student’s economic view was positive, it was also positive on government’s business restriction and if the economic view was negative, it was negative to the other hand too. Third, company’s attitude towards university student’s and business restriction influenced student’s preference of founding. If the attitude of company was positive, the preference of founding was higher, but if the student has positive attitude to business restriction, the preference of founding was getting lower.

The Korean government emphasizes the role of start-up companies in revitalizing the economy. As the business environment in Korea is not favorable to start-up companies yet, the government has been actively establishing business incubators for start-up companies. The number of people who desire to develop their own businesses in business incubators is also increasing. The objective of this study is to investigate the following research questions: (1) what are the effects of business incubator manager’s capabilities and management/law support on strategic thinking and organizational competency of the tenants? (2) what are the effects of the tenants’ strategic thinking and organizational competency on their technological and economic performance indicators? The data of 250 tenants of business incubators in Gyeonggi-Do were analyzed to test the hypotheses. The result indicates that business incubator manager’s capabilities and management/law support positively affect strategic thinking and organizational competency of the tenants. Also, the tenants’ strategic thinking and organizational competency positively affect their technological and economic performance as hypothesized. This study sheds light on the structural relationships among business incubator’s service, founder’s capabilities, and start-up company’s performance.

In this study, I try to analyze the difference of social performance and economic performance according to the support type of social enterprises. Based on this analysis, we try to find a way for social enterprises to create better social and economic performance. As a result, social performance and economic performance of social enterprise showed significant difference due to differences in support for social enterprises, types of support, and support subjects. Currently, many changes are needed to support policies for social enterprises. In addition, most of the support for social enterprises is concentrated in large companies, but in case of large enterprises, economic performance is rather low. Of course, social performance and economic performance are mutually exclusive, which can create trade-offs, but economic performance can not be neglected in terms of sustainability and independence of social enterprises. Therefore, it is thought that evaluation method and support policy that can consider economic performance should be prepared in social enterprise support policy.

To enhance the performance, the effectiveness, the efficiency of business performance in an organization, it has become popular to adopt IT systems into the organization. However, even though it is quite popular that an IT system would be enough to manage complex business processes more easily and more meaningfully, still the agricultural fields may not accept the IT as much as in other industries. There are diverse studies on investing the gap between agricultural industries and others, but many previous studies might focus on defining and illustrating the effect of factors in quantitative views. This study investigates the case of implementing an agricultural information system in NACF(National Agricultural Cooperative Federation). In the results, it cannot be adopted easily when the users may not understood the practical/realizable values of the system, so motivating the users to adopt IT into organizations would be less effective or meaningless when an end user of the systems would not understand the relationship between the improved performance and their own personal/private benefits. It could be understand the reason why an agricultural organization would hesitate to adopt agricultural IT system despite of its usefulness – First, when reducing costs by adopting IT system would not be considered as to cause the explicit revenues of the organizations. Second, when an individual employee would not consider the reduced costs not to be essential to their personal interests even though the benefit in their organizations to be possible.

Recently, the start-up venture company A, which manufactures and sells digital X-ray, has become more severe in its business environment due to the increase in new entrants and intensified price competition. and new competition strategies are required. Thus, in this research, we investigated the degree of customer satisfaction of A company’s products currently on sale and the importance for decision making of purchase, and derived resonable concentration improvement factors. This study progressed to three steps. First, Step Ⅰ extracted a suggestion through an analysis of internal and external environments, and presented strategic directions. In Step Ⅱ, a questionnaire evaluation factor was selected through prior documents and deep interviews, and we carried out an empirical investigation. Since then, the degree of importance and satisfaction are calculated based on the collected questionnaire results, and concentration improvement factors were derived through quadrant analysis. Finally Step Ⅲ presented detailed implementation tasks of the derived improvement factors. As a result of the research, No.2(reliability) and No.5(battery capacity) are top priority factors to be improved. Therefore, as a detailed implementation task of No.2, design improvement must precede from the development stage toughness design and FMEA(Failure Mode and Effect Analysis) for improving reliability. In addition, No.5 presented a plan to extend the use time to improve consumption strategies, such as changing circuits, changing parts, and changing driving algorithms, while maintaining existing batteries. In this study, we gained more accurate understanding of users’ needs by deriving improvements and supplements that can be applied to practice using Kano model. And this will be useful as a tool to drive the attractive needs in initial stage of planning new product development in the future study.

Recognizing that they cannot take a competitive edge over their rivals in the market by selling products for profit, manufacturing companies are making active use of servitization to combine products with service to generate new profit. Previous studies on servitization are, however, limited to the case study of big corporations with capital, which means that their cases put limits on benchmarking by SMEs. This study set out to observe the process of servitization through the analysis of SME cases and conduct quantitative and qualitative analysis of servitization at SMEs, thus figuring the characteristics and strategic implications of their servitization. Analyzed in the study were five companies, which include Kyungdong Navien, iloom, Aurora World, Epik System, and Golfzon. Their case analysis results indicate that SMEs should pursue the following servitization strategies: first, they should contemplate over the organic fusion of service and product since the amount of service is not proportionate to the quality of servitization; secondly, they should base their servitization on their core technologies and products; and finally, they should generate profit with a comprehensive strategy to create a competitive edge through servitization and enter the global markets.
