Abstract

Because individuals come together to form a society, society has characteristics that are different or similar. Furthermore, as globalization and language acquisition in other countries have been activated, the frequency of studying abroad has increased. While Korea also studies abroad, the number of students coming to Korea from other countries continues to increase, increasing. In particular, when there was interest in start-up businesses, the factors were discovered through exploratory research in order to identify factors affecting the level of growth in start-ups when they had different nationalities. In order to conduct exploratory research, the government wanted to check more in-depth information through semi-structured interviews with co-founder companies composed of Koreans and Chinese. The main keywords were repeated or emphasized continuously during the interview, and other keywords were obtained through additional questions. As a result, it has been confirmed that self-acceptance, cultural distance, entrepreneurship, knowledge quality and growth are very large keywords in the co-founding start-up of different countries. The proposition was established as having a relationship of justice with self-acceptance, cultural distance and entrepreneurship as independent variables and with the degree of growth as dependent variables. In particular, in the case of co-founding with different nationalities, the most important knowledge quality was represented the effect of reverse U in each relationship (the relationship between self-acceptance, cultural distance, entrepreneurship and growth).

사회는 서로 다른 특성을 갖는 개인이 모여 구성되기 때문에 그 집합 또한 서로 다른 특징을 갖는다. 더욱이 글로벌화와 타 국가의 언어습득이 활성화되면서 다른 국가로 유학을 가는 빈도수가 증가하면서 새로운 교류가 증대되고 있다. 본 연구는 그 중 창업을 하고자하는 경우를 확인하고자 하였다. 탐색적 연구를 진행하기 위해서 한국인과 중국인이 구성된 공동창업기업을 대상으로 반 구조화된 인터뷰를 통하여 보다 심도 높은 내용을 확인하고자 하였다. 인터뷰 중에 지속적으로 반복하거나 강조한 단어 등을 주요 키워드로 삼았으며 추가적인 질문을 통해서 타 키워드들을 획득했으며, 결과적으로 국가가 상이한 경우의 공동창업에서 자기수용, 문화적 거리, 기업가정신, 지식이질성, 성장의도가 매우 큰 키워드임을 확인하였다. 분석결과를 토대로 자기수용, 문화적 거리, 기업가정신을 독립변수로 설정하고 성장의도를 종속변수로 하여 연구모형을 설정하였다. 다른 국적을 가진 경우의 공동창업의 경우 다른 지식을 가짐으로 인해 더 넓은 의사결정안을 확보할 수 있다는 장점이 있으나 이 차이가 너무 상이할 경우 오히려 단점이 될 수도 있기 때문에 지식이질성은 각 관계들에 있어서 역 U자의 조절효과를 나타내는 것으로 명제를 설정하였다.
