With the radical changes and advancements of industrial economy, it is required to secure product competitiveness through technological innovations to overcome uncertain environments and generate a driving force for sustainable growth. So the Korea government introduced the superior product selection system in 1996 and has granted such incentives as priority purchasing and contracts the products of SME whose technological capabilities have passed the screening criteria. After analyzing the ambiguity of the evaluation procurement used in designation of excellent product, this study proposed seven detailed indexes for evaluation.

본 연구의 목적은 신기술을 바탕으로 급속히 성장한 신재생에너지 분야 기업의 재정적 어려움을 계량적으로 파악하고 부도위험과 지속가능성을 예측하는 것이다. 태양광 및 풍력기업으로 대표되는 신재생에너지산업은 신생기업이 많은 분야이며, 또한 한국의 현실상 중소기업이 많은 영역이라 start-up기업, 중소기업의 연구란 관점에서도 의의가 있다. 기업의 부도가능성 측정에 관한 연구는 재무비율을 이용한 초기모형 구축을 통한 분석, 기업의 지배구조 분석을 통한 모형분석, 위험과 생존요인을 이용한 분석 등이 주를 이룬다. 본 연구의 분석방법으로 많은 국가에서 이용되고 있는 ‘Altman Z-score’를 채택하였다. 분석 표본은 한국의 태양광과 풍력분야 상장기업 121개 이며, KIS-VALUE Data를 중심으로 수집, 분석하였다. 분석 대상기간은 2006년부터 2011년이다. 알트만 스코어로 분석한 결과, 태양광과 풍력기업 중에서 ‘경계 태세(on-alert)’로 분류되어 부도위험에 크게 노출된 기업은 38%,’예의주시(watch)’가 필요한 기업은 38%로, 합하여 76%가 지속가능성에 의문을 받는 기업으로 측정되었다. 신생기업의 경우 순수한 중소기업이 대기업군에 속한 기업보다 지속가능성이 낮았다. 기업규모가 대체적으로 큰 풍력분야 기업과 규모가 작은 태양광분야 기업의 부도위험을 비교한 결과, 풍력기업군의 부도위험이 다소 높게 나타났으나 유의적이지는 않았다. 결과적으로 Altman Z-score의 유용성이 한국의 신재생에너지 산업군 분석에도 검증되었다고 할 수 있다. 본 연구는 신성장산업인 태양광, 풍력기업의 상당수가 부도위험에 직면하였다는 것을 실증적으로 보여준 점에 의의가 있다. 또한 신생 start-up 기업의 연구, 중소기업과 대기업군 기업과의 비교연구를 진전시켰다는 점에 의미가 있다.

중소기업 R&D지원은 정책적으로 매우 중요하며 예산 또한 매년 증가하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 중소기업 R&D지원에 대한 성과를 종합적이고 체계적으로 분석할 수 있는 새로운 성과분석 방법을 제안하며 이 모델을 기반으로 중소기업청의 대표적인 R&D지원사업에 대하여 실증분석하였다. 중소기업 R&D지원사업의 성과는 시차(time-lag)를 두고 발생하는데 이때, 단기적인 성과를 효율성, 중․장기적인 성과를 효과성으로 측정하였다. 효율성과 효과성을 나타내는 지표는 과거 선행연구를 기반으로 선정했으며 분석대상 사업별 사업목적, 취지, 내용 등의 특성을 반영하기 위해 지표별 가중치를 도출하였다. 이렇게 효율성과 효과성의 최종 점수가 도출되고 각 사업별 성과의 차이를 통계 검정하였다.분석 결과, 중소기업청의 5개 R&D지원사업의 효율성은 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 나타냈으며 효과성은 통계적으로 차이가 없었다. 효율성 점수는 전반적으로 낮게 나타나며 효과성 점수는 보통이상으로 높은 수준을 보였다. 중소기업청의 R&D지원사업은 대체로 단기적인 성과인 효율성이 낮아 R&D수행상의 비효율을 초래하는 것으로 나타나는 반면, 중․장기적인 효과성에 대한 기대는 높아 R&D수행을 통한 사회경제적 파급효과는 클 것으로 예상된다. 그러나 효율성이 개선되지 않고는 지속적인 성과를 기대하기 힘들기 때문에 이에 대한 정책적 노력이 필요하다.

The purpose of this study is to verify the relationships among innovative behavior, turnover intention, and job security. An additional purpose was to examine partial mediating effects on psychological ownership. The baseline of analyzing those relationships in this study is that the role of psychological ownership will be a mediator between job security and turnover intention as well as innovative behavior in the organization. To accomplish these purposes, a model was built among job security as predictor variable, the psychological ownership as mediating variable and turnover intention, and innovative behavior as criteria variables based on the studies conducted in the various areas. The 248 questionnaires surveyed from the area of DaeGu and Kyungbuk were used in the statistical analyses. The detail statistical techniques are such as descriptive analysis, reliability analysis, factor analysis, correlation analysis, and multi regression analysis. The results of the study show that job security had positively significant effect on turnover intention and innovative behavior. In addition, only the psychological ownership of organization-level thinking have partial mediating effects between job security and innovative behavior also job security and turnover intention. The results may indicate that the psychological ownership of organization-level thinking be a key factor to alleviate the turnover intention of employees and to encourage the innovative behavior during their works for the small-medium size companies showing the unstable job security.

China is transforming into a viable market where only those companies which can carry out transparent and competitive management can survive, due to its steeping and strengthening rise of wages and labor management. Pre entered SMEs to Chinese market which has enjoyed the advantage of cheap labor, are in trend of weakening of it competitiveness and appealing difficulty of management activities, where as recent entering SMEs with well preparation and good command of localization strategy are different from its purpose and behavior. In addition, Chinese market entering SMEs are facing fundamental changes within a diminishing deal from domestic financial transactions to the growing financial transactions between the parent company and subsidiaries in local. However, unlike the changes in the Chinese market's business conditions and entering SMEs behavior, domestic financial institutions trying to enter Chinese market are still facing an insufficient basic infrastructure to carry out the local businesses. For a mean time, although there are many obstacles of Chinese market, it is inevitable for domestic financial institutions to strengthen operations of Chinese business in near future in order to support the domestic companies operation in China. However, China a market with opportunities as well as threats, it is recommended to put priority on promoting expansion strategy, but also with a cautions approach.
