수출 바우처 제도의 효과적인 지원방안에 관한 실증연구

Recent government initiatives have allocated substantial budgets and implemented various support systems to foster small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). While numerous studies have been conducted to verify the effectiveness of these policy efforts, there is a paucity of research on enhancing policy efficacy through different support methods within the same support system. This study empirically analyzes the differences in corporate performance based on support methods (frequency and duration of support) for 101 companies that received assistance through the export voucher system, which has been evaluated as successful. Our research demonstrates that the frequency and method of support have disparate impacts on performance. Notably, we found that frequent and customized support for companies with high growth potential is more effective than large-scale, one-time assistance. This finding suggests the importance of tailored support for efficient resource utilization. It implies that by providing frequent and intensive short-term support in areas crucial to SMEs, we can enhance productivity in alignment with resource utilization objectives. The study reveals that the frequency and method of support have distinct effects on outcomes. Specifically, it was discovered that providing frequent and customized support to companies with high growth potential is more effective than large-scale, one-time assistance. This underscores the significance of tailored support for efficient resource utilization, indicating that frequent and focused short-term assistance in critical areas for SMEs can enhance productivity in line with resource utilization objectives. This research offers valuable policy implications for improving SME support policies.
