Abstract

The purpose of this study is to develop an assessment index for the selection of promising start-ups, which will enhance the efficiency of program that support start-ups. In order to develop assessment models for selecting start-ups, three major research steps were conducted. First, this study attempted to theoretically redefine the assessment index from the perspective of the Balanced Scorecard (BSC) through a literature review. Second, major assessment index were derived using Delphi technique for experts in start-up areas. Third, weights were derived by applying AHP technique to calculate the importance of each index. The results of this study are summarized as follows. First, this study attempted to apply the assessment model for selecting start-ups from the Balanced Scorecard (BSC) view through the previous study review. Second, the final major questions were derived with sufficient opinions collected and structured survey of leading start-up experts in areas related to research subjects and elicited the most representative questions. Third, the results of applying the weights of the main selected assessment index, commercialization viewpoint is the most priority, followed by market view, technology development viewpoint, and organizational capability viewpoint. In the middle section, th ability to make products in the commercialization viewpoint, market competitiveness in the market, product discrimination capacity in the technology development perspective, and the ability of the entrepreneur in the organizational capacity perspective were important. Overall important items were found to be in the order of the capabilities of entrepreneurs, market competitiveness, product fire capability, and product discrimination. The importance of small items was highest priority for comparative excellence of competing products, and the degree of marketability, capacity of entrepreneurship, ability to raise capital, desire for entrepreneurship, and passion were shown. The results of this study presented a conceptual alternative to the preceding study on the development of existing selection assessment indexes. And it provides meaningful and important implications as an attempt to develop more sophisticated indicators by overcoming the limitations of empirical research on only some of the evaluation metrics.

본 연구는 정부 창업지원정책의 효율성 제고를 위하여 성공가능성이 높은 창업기업 선별을 위한 선정평가지표 개발을 목적으로 진행하였다. 창업기업 선정평가지표 개발을 위해 첫째, 관련 문헌고찰을 통해 평가지표에 대한 이론적 재정립을 하였다. 둘째, 창업생태계의 각 분야 전문가 대상 델파이 기법을 활용하여 주요 평가항목을 도출하였다. 셋째, 항목별 중요도 산정을 위하여 AHP 기법을 적용하여 가중치를 도출하였다. 연구결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 균형성과표(BSC) 관점에서 창업자 선정평가지표의 적용을 시도하였다. 둘째, 선행연구 고찰을 통한 창업자 역량평가 요인 및 관련 분야의 창업 전문가를 대상으로 의견 수렴과 구조화된 설문의 최종 주요 문항을 도출하였다. 셋째, 도출된 주요 선정평가지표의 가중치 적용결과, 관점별, 대항목인 사업화 관점 > 시장관점 > 기술개발관점 > 조직역량관점 순으로 나타났다. 중항목의 사업화 관점에서는 제품화 역량, 시장관점에서는 시장경쟁력, 기술개발관점에서는 제품 차별성 역량, 조직역량관점에서는 창업자의 역량이 중요하게 인지되었으며, 전반적으로 주요 중항목은 창업자 역량 > 시장경쟁력 > 제품화 역량 > 제품 차별성 순으로 나타났다. 소항목 간의 중요도는 경쟁제품의 비교 우수성이 가장 우선순위가 높았으며, 시장 진입 가능성 > 창업자의 보유역량 > 자본조달능력 > 창업자의 추진 의지 및 열정 순으로 나타났으며 파트너의 보유역량, 구성원의 명확한 역할과 기능적 구성 정도, 협력 관계 정도, 연구개발투자 등이 낮게 나타났다. 이러한 연구결과는 기존 선정평가지표 개발에 관한 선행연구의 개념적 대안 제시 및 향후 정교한 지표개발을 위한 의미 있는 시사점을 제시하였다.
