사회적기업의 창업을 위한 자원 확보 전략에 관한 연구 : 사회적기업과 영리기업의 파트너십을 중심으로

The partnership with for-profit corporations is the main alternative for ensuring the viability of social enterprises. The main purpose of this study is to examine the effect of partnerships between social enterprises and for-profit corporations on performance of social enterprises. Especially, this study focused on the differences of partnership type (monetary / non-monetary / comprehensive, direct / indirect / holistic). For this purpose, empirical analysis was performed with South Korea's 100 certified social enterprises through postal surveys. As a result, the stronger degree of partnerships with for-profit corporations increased social and economic performance of social enterprises. In addition, forming ‘comprehensive’ partnerships rather than monetary or non-monetary form fragmentary, and ‘holistic’ partnerships rather than direct or indirect form fragmentary enhanced social and economic performance. However, despite the assumption that the faster the partnership time will have the higher performance, the effect of partnership time on social and economic performance did not have sufficient evidence to supporting hypothesis. By leveraging this research, we look forward to a richer discussion of partnerships between for-profit corporations and social enterprises, thereby we expect to have more sustainable management for social enterprises.
