[Abstract]
This paper empirically analyzes the impact of technological progress on the productivity divergence between large and middle & small firms and among the different sizes of firms, paying attention to the impact of the productivity gap between firms on socio-economic problems and explores the corresponding policies for that problems. The empirical results are summarized as follows. First, technological progress widens the productivity gap between large firms(firms with the top 85% or more of the firm size) and small & middle firms(firms with less than 85% of the firm size). Second, the productivity gap due to technological progress widens in proportion to the scales of firms, thus the largest increase in productivity occurs for large firms. Third, the impact of technological progress on the productivity gap between firms is not much different qualitatively between the manufacturing and service industries, but quantitatively, the manufacturing industry is larger than the service industry. Fourth, among the control variables, the capital equipment ratio of labor and the quality of labor widen the productivity gap between firms, and the larger the size, the larger the productivity gap appears. The strengthening market dominance problem for large firms and the resulting decline in aggregate productivity from technological progress is solved by regulations through competition policies and policies that increase market competition such as mission-oriented R&D policies. In addition, the problem of increasing the possibility of small firms’ exit from technological progress can be solved by the government support if small firms are venture companies with technological potential.

[Abstract]
The purpose of this study is to investigate the affect of IFRS S2 on domestic SMEs and to suggest countermeasures. ISSB's IFRS S2 requires information on affiliates, suppliers, and customers. Therefore, impact of IFRS S2 adoption is expected to affect the overall domestic industry including SMEs. In particular, SMEs belonging to partners, customers, and affiliates of listed companies will be directly affected by IFRS S2. The impact of IFRS S2 adoption on SMEs will depending on (1) the scope of the value chain, (2) firms subject to Scope 3 emissions reporting, and (3) the scope of Scope 3 emission disclosures by financial institutions. There is a need for SMEs to develop their own capabilities along with active support from the government and regulatory authorities.

[Abstract]
As the new normal era is in full swing, there is a growing need to discover and nurture high-growth firms that contribute to sustainable economic growth and job creation. Motivated by this, we built a machine-learning based prediction model to firms that are likely to grow into high-growth firms. Specifically, we employed both firms’ financial and national R&D participation data and applied various machine-learning techniques that are widely used in solving classification problems. As a result of empirical analysis, we achieved a reasonable performance of around 0.85 in terms of AUC from the best-performing model that we used. We also confirmed that firm’s financial characteristics play a more important role in predicting high growth than other factors. We believed that this study will shed light on further studies on the establishment of a data-based high-growth firm support system.

[Abstract]
Although SMEs' R&D investment is increasing and their R&D capabilities are strengthened, SMEs' performance has not reached the expectation. This study explored the impacts of SMEs' R&D capabilities and entrepreneurship on their sales performances, with mediating role of innovation activities and the moderating role of organizational learning as an intermediate process. We made an empirical analysis based on a questionnaire survey of 2,013 SMEs completed government-sponsored R&D projects and sales data from credit rating database. Through multi-variate regression analysis and bootstrapping analysis, SMEs’ R&D capabilities and entrepreneurship have significant positive impacts on innovation activities. SMEs’ R&D capabilities and entrepreneurship have no significant impacts on sales performance directly, however, they have significant positive impacts when mediated by innovation activities. Organizational learning moderated the relationship between R&D capabilities and entrepreneurship, and sales performance. This study found meaningful R&D-related variables that have effects on SMEs’ performance, and emphasized the importance of innovation activities in the process. In addition, it presents implications on SMEs’ capabilities and activities, and government support programmes for SMEs to enhance R&D performances.
Towards Mutually Beneficial Cooperation Between Large Enterprises and Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises (SMEs): An Exploratory Study on Capital Participation of Large Enterprises in SMEs

[Abstract]
Worldwide, mutually beneficial cooperation between large enterprises and SMEs has been recognized as a task and a calling of the times. In Korea, the Act on the Promotion of Mutually Beneficial Cooperation Between Large Enterprises and SMEs (hereafter the Win-Win Act) has been enacted to create and spread a climate for mutually beneficial cooperation between large enterprises and SMEs. In particular, Article 11 of the Win-Win Act (Act on Capital Participation of Large Enterprises in SMEs) has not been activated as originally intended, even though it can provide a foundation for mutually beneficial cooperation in exploring new growth engines and overcoming resource constraints. Thus, this study understands the current states of large enterprises’ capital participation in SMEs and identifies the causes of Article 11 of the Win-Win Act not being activated from various angles. Through this, we find that it is necessary to grasp the cooperative relationship between large enterprises and SMEs from the perspective of “complementarity” and “opportunism”. Based on such perspective and a multiple case study analysis, this study presents a framework for capital participation of large enterprises in SMEs, which can contribute to establishing an ecosystem of mutually beneficial cooperation. To ensure the validity of the framework, we conducted focus group interviews and collected expert opinions in related fields. Finally, this study also discusses policy measures to effectively promote large enterprises’ capital participation in SMEs.
