창업기업의 기업가 정신이 혁신역량, 혁신행동, 경영성과에 미치는 영향

This research is attempted to draw systematic response and innovation reinforcement methods for the survival of the ‘Death Valley’ of start-ups less than 7 years after establishment in highly competitive and fast-changing business environment. For this goal, research model and hypothesis are drawn based on theoretical background, and empirical study on start-ups all over the country was conducted through the form of survey. First, the entrepreneurship of start-ups consists of multiple dimensions including innovation, risk-taking, and progressive spirit. Second, innovation, risk-taking, and progressive spirit, which are subordinate elements of entrepreneurship of start-ups, all had positive influences on innovation capacity and innovative behavior. Third, innovation, risk-taking, and progressive spirit, which are subordinate elements of entrepreneurship of start-ups, all could not impose positive influence on business performance. Forth, innovation capacity of start-ups had positive influence on business performance. Fifth, innovative behavior could not impose positive influence on business performance. Such result suggests that innovative behavior and entrepreneurship by simply introducing product and process have limitations, and most of all, equipping innovation capacity based on entrepreneurship should be preceded.
