Abstract

During few decades, Korean economy has been growing with heavy and manufacturing industries. However, the economy meets limitations of growth rate, and employment rate. The Korean government has been trying to overcome these limitations using development of venture businesses and re-organization of industrial ecosystem. These efforts make high survival rate of recent venture companies. There are previous researches about relation between characteristics of entrepreneur and managerial performance, there are several limitations. Firstly, most of papers were based on survey with specific region or industry. Secondly, related researches were carried out with unable to distinguish among firm's survival periods. This paper uses the '2017 Survey of Korea Venture Firms' data that is approved by the Korean government. This data includes whole industries and survival periods. The aim of this research is finding the effect of characteristics of entrepreneur on managerial performance of venture firms by different survival periods using data envelopment analysis (DEA). If entrepreneur has doctoral degree, the firm's managerial performance is lower than bachelor degree. In addition, over 10 years of working career, and joint-venture have positive effect on firm's performance. This paper can provide valuable information to venture related policy makers and investment decision makers.

지난 수십년 간 제조업과 대기업 중심의 성장을 진행해 온 한국 경제는 최근 성장과 고용의 한계에 직면하고 있다. 정부는 이러한 현실을 개선하기 위하여 지속적으로 벤처기업 육성 및 산업 생태계 재편에 집중하고 있으며, 이러한 노력의 결과는 최근 벤처기업의 높은 생존율로 나타나고 있다. 이에 따라, 벤처기업 생존율 개선 관점의 연구에서 성과 창출과 유지 관점으로의 연구 패러다임 전환이 필요하다. 벤처기업의 경영성과에 영향을 미치는 요인을 규명한 연구는 내부 및 외부 요인으로 구분되어 꾸준히 진행되고 있었으며, 창업자 특성은 내부요인으로 구분된다. 다양한 선행연구를 조사 및 검토한 결과 한계점이 존재한다. 첫째, 대부분 설문조사 기반 특정 지역 또는 산업 중심의 단편적 연구가 진행되었다. 둘째, 설문조사 시점을 중심으로 연구가 진행됨에 따라 기업의 생존기간 구분이 힘들고, 기간 구분 없이 진행되었다. 기존 선행연구의 한계점을 보완하기 위하여 생존기간 별 영향요인의 상이한 효과를 살펴볼 필요가 있었으며, 본 연구는 국내 외 선행연구들이 성과와의 관계에서 가장 먼저 주목하였었던 창업자특성에 주목하였다. 벤처기업은 일반기업과 비교하여 기업 내 인적역량이 초기 및 장기 성과를 좌우할 수 있는 주요 요인이며, 창업자특성은 이러한 인적역량의 근간이라고 할 수 있다. 이에 본 연구는 정부승인통계인 벤처기업정밀실태조사 원데이터를 활용하여 국내 전 산업의 벤처기업을 대상으로 기업의 생존 기간을 구분하고, 각 기간 별 창업자 특성이 경영성과에 미치는 영향을 자료포락분석 (DEA, Data Envelopment Analysis)을 활용하여 살펴보았다. 분석 결과, 창업자가 박사일 경우 학사인 경우와 비교하여 창업초기 및 중장기 관점에서의 경영성과가 저조한 것으로 나타났으며, 관련 실무경력은 10년 이상일 경우, 그리고 공동창업을 한 경우 창업초기의 경영성과에 도움을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 벤처기업 정책 입안자와 민간 투자 의사결정자들이 참고할 수 있는 기반 자료를 제공할 것이다.
