The main objective of this study is to examine the structure and characteristics of an IT cluster in the Daedeok Valley through the value chains analysis advocated by Michael Porter. Empirically, we analyze the various flows of value chains in the region in the aspect of technology, information, researcher, and markets for procurement and sales. After surveying some selective firms in IT industries, we have found the following results based on rigorous statistical tests.
First, they have not yet established their value chains locally within the valley in a sufficient level. Rather, they have stronger linkages with business entities in the seoul metropolitan region in terms of marketing, material procurement, and manpower. Second, they have acquired their major technological inputs from local research institutions since their CEO had been spun off from the institutions. Third, a vertical enterprise approach might be recommended to reinforce the value chains in the Daedeok Valley.

This research aims to verify the availability of the cumulative voting system which was introduced by the business enterprise in order to protect the small investor. It also aims to verify the characteristics of such business enterprises.
The analysis of the influence of the small investor protection on the business value, through the cumulative voting, shows a positive relation to the firm value. Thus at the time of the induction many enterprises were reluctant to become involved because of the assumption that it would interfere with the effectiveness of management decision-making. But by verifying that the development of the corporate ownership structure through the small share holder protection has a positive influence on the business value, they identified the value of the induction of cumulative voting system.
After the characteristics of the enterprise which introduced cumulative voting were analyzed simultaneously in the form of univariate and multivariate analysis, the foreign and government investor share rates showed a positive relation to that of the induction of cumulative voting. From this it can be concluded that the foreign investor has a positive influence on the development of the ownership structure. And the government investor, as a result of a strong government policy through acts such as the small investor protection, also exerts a positive influence on the induction of the cumulative voting system. And as the small investor shows a positive relation to the cumulative voting system, the small investor themselves also support the induction of the cumulative voting system in order to protect their own rights.
