본 연구에서는 벤처기업의 생존에 영향을 주는 요인이 성장에도 동일한 영향을 주거나 혹은 그렇지 않은 관계가 존재하는지를 파악하기 위해 벤처기업의 생존 영향요인과 성장 영향요인을 연계시켜 분석하였다. 이를 위해 2003년과 2004년 벤처기업 경영실태 설문조사에 응했던 기업을 대상으로 설문조사 이후 4∼5년이 경과한 2008년 기준 생존 여부를 조사해 생존 영향요인을 분석했다. 또한 2003년 설문에 응답한 기업 중 2008년까지 생존한 기업을 대상으로 4년이 경과한 2007년까지 실제로 벤처기업이 얼마나 성장했는가를 측정하여 분석함으로써 성장 영향요인을 검증하였다. 연구의 주요 결과는 다음과 같다. 경영자 특성요인은 전반적으로 벤처기업의 생존요인이면서 성장요인으로 작용하는 것으로 나타났다. 한편 대표이사의 지식수준이나 대기업과의 네트워킹 능력은 벤처기업의 생존요인으로는 중요한 의미를 가지지만, 성장요인으로는 큰 영향을 미치지 않음을 발견하였다. 반면, 연구개발투자는 벤처기업의 생존에는 별 영향을 미치지 않지만, 성장과는 유의한 양(+)의 상관관계를 갖는 것으로 나타났다. 벤처기업의 업력 및 기업규모는 기대했던 것처럼 벤처기업의 생존과 성장에 서로 다른 방향의 영향을 미침을 확인하였다. 본 연구는 그간 상호 연계성을 갖지 않은 채 각각 분리되어 연구되어 왔던 벤처기업 생존 영향요인과 성장 영향요인을 비교·분석했다는 점에서 의의를 가지며, 연구결과는 벤처기업의 경영자나 벤처기업 정책결정자들에게 많은 실무적 시사점을 제시해 줄 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

Do determinant factors of a firm`s survival also play an identical role in the growth of the firm? Conversely, are there factors which influence positively on a firm`s survival or deter a firm from growth? Using a group of more than 8,000 samples, we examined empirically whether determinant factors of survival and growth are identical in ventures. First of all, we analyzed survival factors by investigating whether firms in surveys conducted by the Small and Medium Business Administration in 2003 and 2004 survived until 2008. We investigated growth factors by analyzing the growth of those surviving venture firms during the four years after the previous surveys. This distinctive approach provided us with a new perspective to understand the determinant factors of growth. The factors we considered influencing survival and growth of venture firms were categorized based on firms` characteristics, such as organization, manager, technology, marketing and finance. Size and age of firms were the measures of organizational characteristics while ownership of founder and knowledge level of CEOs were those of managers characteristics. The capacity for technological innovation and investment in R&D were the proxy for assessing technological capabilities. Marketing characteristics were measured in terms of networking capacity with large firms and the level of globalization. Finally we used profitability and debt to equity ratio to assess financial characteristics. We analyzed the determinants of survival using binary logit model, where we divided sample firms into two categories, survival group and extinct group. Survival factors were sifted out through characteristics that were common to currently existing firms at the time of the 2003/2004 surveys. We investigated the determinant factors of growth using multiple regression model, where we computed growth rate of sales for each venture firm between 2003 and 2007, and used the growth rates as a dependent variable in regression analysis. Determinant factors influencing growth of venture firms were analyzed based on the firm characteristics mentioned above. The empirical results are summarized as follows. First of all, the hypothesis with regard to organizational characteristics, was partly supported, in that their effects on survival and growth were contrary to each other. We measured organizational characteristics by business history as well as size of firms using total assets and the number of employees. Business history measured by the number of years since incorporation, in particular, has a positive relationship on survival while it has a negative effect on growth rate in line with the hypothesis. Since start-up companies have the most considerable disadvantages in their early stages, chances of survival are substantially increased as business years roll on. The growth rate, meanwhile, slows down as years roll on, since start-up companies diverge from enterprising management in their early stage and intend to pursue stability. The size of ventures turns out to have a positive effect on survival, offsetting the disadvantages of startup by benefits from economies of scale, although size does not have a significant relationship with growth rate. Manager characteristics mostly work as a survival and growth factor. Founder ownership which is closely related to agency cost also turns out to be a survival and growth factor with statistical significance. It is interpreted as that founder ownership has a positive impact since potential agency cost between owner and manager would decrease when a founder owns and runs a venture. Academic background as a proxy for knowledge level of CEO is a survival factor, albeit statistically insignificant as a growth factor. We understand that the higher knowledge level a manager has, the more embedded technology and knowledge he or she is likely to have. High knowledge level would enhance a firm`s viability in the face of shocks in the external environment as shown in prior research. The empirical result also indicates that the capacity for technology innovation measured by the number of registered patents and patent applications turns out to have a positive effect on survival and a negative effect on growth. Although this study has the limitation that we narrowed the capacity for technology innovation down to the number of patents, the findings on growth rate is surprisingly different from our expectation beforehand. Meanwhile, the growth of ventures is positively related to R&D investment while R&D investment is not related to survival. It occasionally happens in the field that R&D investment adds to the burden on cash flow and rather threatens a firm`s survival when the investment does not lead to sales. Therefore, further research may need to distinguish R&D investment by sales. The impact of marketing on the survival and growth of venture firms was verified based on the networking capacity with large firms and the level of globalization. Networking capacity with large firms measured by weighted supply contracts did not work as a growth factor but worked as a survival factor. It seemed that supply contracts to big enterprises provided only stable sales for survival but they guaranteed neither high return for growth nor rapid sales growth. Globalization was measured by the experience of foreign market entry, where we expected that the level of globalization would have positive impact on growth since venture firms which entered overseas market would have new market opportunities. The empirical result, however, did not present a statistically significant relationship between growth and the level of globalization of venture firms. Finally, it is hypothesized that financial characteristics such as profitability and debt to equity ratio would influence the survival of venture firms. The deficiency of financial resources was expected to become a risk factor for the survival of venture firms, when firms did not have sizable internal capital and could not utilize external capital market. Debt to equity ratio is negatively related to survival while profitability has no significant effect on it. High debt to equity ratio might lead to financial distress threatening survival since the increased burden of interest payments might aggravate cashflows and high debt to equity ratio made it difficult to find new sources of finance. Prior research has separated survival factors and growth factors without considering any linkage between them. This study is meaningful in that we empirically verified survival factors and growth factors intended for a group of ventures with an integrated approach. We started the research from the question of whether factors contributing to survival of firms would also have identical impact on growth as well. Thus we examined deterministic factors for survival and growth and hypothesized the relationship between the factors and their impacts on survival and growth of venture firms respectively. Using time series data of 8,000 sample firms, we sifted out factors such as founder ownership, which have a positive impact on survival and growth simultaneously. Unique factors such as firm age and capacity for technological innovation by proxy of the number of patents, are presented as determinants which have a positive impact on survival and a negative impact on growth. In addition, factors which have influence not on growth but on survival and vice versa are verified based on the empirical findings. The results provide managers in venture firms and policy makers with managerial implications. Furthermore, this research lays the groundwork for further study by investigating the survival and growth of ventures from a comprehensive perspective and contributes to develop new research models leading to extending related theories. There are, however, a few problems that remain to be explored since we limited survival factors and growth factors to internal characteristics of venture firms out of a variety of organizational characteristics. This research concludes that the characteristics of both external environments of an organization as well as internal management characteristics need to be taken into account to fully explain the determinants of survival factors and growth factors of venture firms for theoretical expansion as Romanelli (1989) suggested earlier.
