In this study, using signaling theory, we examine how social enterprises send signals to social investors to acquire financial resource. In detail, we examine the influence of socio-economic legitimacy signals of social enterprises on acquiring social lending using a sample of 106 enterprises from the loan application book of H Social Investment(HSI), the Social Investment Fund of S City Government, for the period of 2015~2016. HSI’s intensive due diligence requires a full set of application documents from the loan seeking social enterprises and includes on-site interviews with the CEO and sometimes with other key utives. During the due diligence process, the lender receives and interprets various signals from the applicants. This study tested several hypotheses using a binary logistic regression model and found that the validity of the
business plans has statistically significant influence on acquiring the social lending and that CEO’s social entrepreneurship, organizational governance and firm’s pursuit of public benefits are positively related to social lending, but that CEO’s management capability is statistically insignificant for acquiring social lending.

This study investigated the success factors of microcredit business and analyzed them using AHP(Analytic Hierarchy Process) to align them according to their relative importance and priority. To acomplish an aim of this study, we refer to credit scoring list using in microcredit institude. Eighteen microcredit business experts have filled out the survey, which consisted of 43 possible success factors for microcredit business. The result of the priority order of microcredit business’s success factor showed that business management (.375) and locational characteristic(.223) were important factors. This research can be refered for microcredit institution’s credit scoring system which using non-financial information.

In this study, we investigate whether isomorphism provide benefits to Chinese firms going public in the U.S. stock market. Institutional theory argues that those firms that conform to normal expectations will attain benefits in the market. In particular, this legitimacy through isomorphism is critical for firms undergoing an initial public offering(IPO) as these firms try to establish their credibility in the market. We argue that Chinese IPO firms that exhibit stronger isomorphism to the characteristics of U.S. domestic IPO firms will attain higher valuation from the investors. We examine two types of isomorphism,
board capital isomorphism and IPO process isomorphism, in a sample of 153 Chinese firms going through an IPO in the U.S. We find that although board capital isomorphism has no significant effect on the Chinese IPO performance, IPO process isomorphism provides benefits to Chinese IPO firms. Theoretically, not all isomorphic behaviors of foreign firms are beneficial to performance even though institutional pressure may motivate several isomorphic behaviors.

This study examined the relationship among ethical leadership, felt obligation, helping behavior, and job performance. Data were collected from 259 employees of the banks in Seoul and Gyeonggi-do. Results of this study are as follows: First, ethical leadership had a positive effect on helping behavior; Second, ethical leadership had a positive effect on job performance; Third, ethical leadership had a positive effect on felt obligation; Fourth, felt obligation had a positive effect on helping behavior; Fifth, felt obligation had a positive effect on job performance; Sixth, felt obligation partially mediated the relationship between ethical leadership and helping behavior; and seventh, felt obligation fully mediated the relationship between ethical leadership and job performance.

Youth unemployment rate is increasing every year, like reflecting the uncertain economic situation. Such situation is very significant especially for university students flowing into the job market right after graduation. The government is currently injecting financial resources, actively promoting a policy of boosting business start-up as a solution for youth unemployment. Accordingly, this study found the factors influencing on their business start-up will for university students to heighten the effect of uting the government’s policies related to business start-up. The results of this study are as follows. First, entrepreneurship had a statistically significant effect on business start-up will. Second, the cause, one of the sub-factors of employment instability, had a significant effect on business start-up will unlike the condition and the inducing situation.
Third, the effect of controlling parents’ socioeconomic status was proved regarding the effect of entrepreneurship on business start-up will. Fourth, there was no moderating effect of parents’ socioeconomic status regarding the effect of employment instability on business start-up will. I suggest that more fruitful policies can be expected if the characteristics of university students with business start-up will are considered in policy making based on the above results.

The young people’s unemployment is the serious pending problem for nation and society to solve in the world, and young adult start-up to create young people’s workplace became the hot issue. Although the young people’s challenge and intention to start up is the future and hope for the nation, there are both sides between the keen sword about the feasibility of young start-ups’ success. This study examined the effects of young start-ups which university educated on the stakeholder’s attitudes. And this research analysed the stakeholder’s responses through the final products which the young start-ups created. In this research 3 kinds of stakeholder’s group were ed, that is to say, ‘Faculty group’, ‘Students group’, ‘Regional merchant group’. Dependent variables were attitude toward product, purchase intention. With the research result, theoretical and managerial implications as well as directions for future research are discussed.

For this research, we define that entrepreneurship, which is the subject of entrepreneurship to make specific decisions and actions, leads to change and growth through this, and invests in tangible and intangible assets such as technology investment, human investment, capital investment, It is defined as the implementation of the entrepreneurship
The hypothesis that the realization of entrepreneurship through such investment has a significant effect on the employment growth through job creation of the companyis set up and analyzed. The data used in the empirical analysis of this study was constructed using the KIS-VALUE database provided by NICE credit evaluation information.
The non-financial business excluding financial business was classified into eight years from 2008 to 2015 after the financial crisis The results of the analysis show that technology investment and human investment have a positive effect on employment growth of firms, whereas capital investment has a statistically significant negative effect on corporate employment growth.
The results of this analysis provide policy implications that it is more effective for employment expansion in Korea, which has entered the low-growth period of the 21st century, to preferentially invest in companies that invest in intangible assets such as technology and human investment rather than capital investment in equipment.

Although there are many studies on the definition of entrepreneurship in Korea, this study is the first empirical analysis of the characteristics of entrepreneurs in Korea. The empirical analysis of the characteristics of entrepreneurial personality that determines entrepreneurship of small and medium enterprises in the supply chain of Korea East-West Power Co. shows four interesting results. First, 'enthusiasm' in (Hypothesis1) has many statistically significant models, but since the estimation coefficient is negative, enthusiasm decreases if enthusiasm is high. Second, When entrepreneurial personality
traits are added as control variables, "enthusiasm" is statistically significant, and the sign of the coefficient of estimation is still negative. Third, the system of communication between company and supplier is statistically in significant in determining entrepreneurship, but the activity variable in which communication between large companies and suppliers is active is statistically significant, so cooperation and communication of (hypothesis 2) is very important in determining entrepreneurship. This suggests that no matter how well the system works, there is no success unless the system is actively
used. In addition, it shows that behavior is more important than structure, and shows that entrepreneurial personality characteristics that succeeded in the era of 4th Industrial Revolution, where cooperation between companies is becoming important, are already implemented in entrepreneurship of win-win cooperation partners. Fourth, while entrepreneurs'
activities to prepare for future uncertainties have a statistically significant effect on exertion of entrepreneurship, the variables of overseas market entry have not been statistically significant.
