There is a growing concerns for startups and management issues in the small business sector. In the Korean unique condition, female-owned small business seemed to play a crucial role in stimulating domestic demands and replacements for workforce reductions in the time of reduced birth rates and export-driven economy. Despite importance of female-owned small businesses, domestic statistics about female small businesses are not well recognized and defined. To design the current entrepreneurship training programs for female entrepreneurs more female-friendly, we need to improve overall environments surrounding training systems. We can classify the environmental improvement for women-friendly entrepreneurship training into three types as follows: First, it is needed to conduct regular surveys on difficulties female entrepreneurs may have. To develop a program for women-friendly entrepreneurship training, extensive and thorough survey is required for entrepreneurship training goals. To design women-friendly entrepreneurship training for women entrepreneurs henceforth, preliminary surveys should be carried out to detect problems within the course of the program and women’s expectation regarding entrepreneurship training. Second environmental improvement is to overcome the lack of information on entrepreneurship training for women. Difficulties that women entrepreneurs experience are different from their counterparts, male. Last is about overcoming the lack of follow-up management after opening a business. To surmount the issue, we need to organize a management improvement consulting systems focused on female entrepreneurs. Establishing networks connecting female businesses should be the most urgent measure. With this regard, if follow-up services for female entrepreneurs are provided for at least three years from the time a business is opened, it may produce even more desirable results.

Geun Ha Suh,Sung Wook Yoon 한국유통과학회 2014 유통과학연구 Vol.12 No.11

Purpose - Considering that the governments' official statistics on the optimum scale of the domestic service industry will be crucial in future, this study's results will be used as an important benchmark to develop and verify the parameters in the government's official statistics. Research design, data, and methodology - To identify the appropriate scale of Korea's service industry and its adequacy, I have determined them through estimation using a regression method involving panel data analysis on the panel data of 30 OECD countries. Results - The regression coefficient provided indications of being non-linear. This means that a U-shaped curve relationship exists-that is, the level of the economic growth leverage decreases along with the service industry's growth up to the level of 70.9% in terms of the Korean service industry's adequacy; it increases along with the service industry's growth at a level higher than 70.9%. Conclusions - While the current proportion of the size of the service industry among all industries in Korea stands at 50.7%, its proper proportion estimated by a regression analysis was 70.9%.

Purpose - This study aims to suggest policy directions for small retail markets in Korea by statistical analysis, which would help small retailers who are facing various difficulties. Research design, data, methodology - This study diagnoses the problems faced by small retail industries in Korea based on government statistics. In addition, this study identifies three areas for successful collaboration between the SSMs and traditional markets information distribution, products, and fair trade. Results - This study makes three recommendations information - distribution, products, and fair trade. This includes activation of the existing mutual collaboration efforts, channels, CSR report writing and publicity, ethical management cooperation seminars, contract systems of no return, establishment of staff outsourcing standards, and support for suppliers’ organizations. Conclusions - Our suggestions for a collaborative system (based on the three suggestions) show that collaboration rather than confrontation between large and small markets can lead to a sales increase of 2,258.2 billion Won, which is equivalent to the sales loss in 11 traditional markets in one year in Busan.

After the rapidly changing business management environment and financial crisis, high prices and domestic recession in Korea posed threats to the business survival of small and medium enterprises (SMEs). This paper looks at the potential of micro business owners for sustainable development: those who have a spirit of entrepreneurship and the potential to be a hidden champion. Our study of micro business values uses structure equation modeling by LISREL. We have done so in order to understand the foundation of management innovation and success model of micro enterprise by increasing the entrepreneurship and management performance relationship analysis. A micro-enterprise is a type of small business, found only in Korea, often registered as having ten or fewer employees. We examine the successful type of hidden champions and the influence of entrepreneurship on start-ups in business. As compared to past research on the SME entrepreneurship, this study segments small businesses even further. Small business entrepreneurship was classified into three forms that are most appropriate for the Korean situation today: innovation, risk-taking, and pro-activeness. This research is meaningful as it is Korea’s first empirical analysis on four business types: wholesale and retail sales, food and lodging business, service business, and manufacturing business. Thus far, research on small business entrepreneurship was carried out using small-scale investigative analysis. However, this research attempted to develop a model that can explain a cause-effect relation of the motivational level when it comes to the difference of entrepreneurship by each business type and small business start-up success factors. Various conceptual and operational definitions could be developed in a diverse and precise manner. Independent variables that are related to the success of small businesses can be developed additionally to examine the success factors related to the systematization in detailed m

Purpose – Why, why is it difficult to predict the appropriateness of self-employment, and what are the countermeasures and policy proposals to overcome. This study intends to further develop the field of statistical variables. It is necessary to overcome the limitation of existing proper scale research in Korea. We need to find statistical variables that can determine the appropriateness of self-employment in Korea. These efforts will be helpful in evaluating OECD countries and statistics and developing domestic economic indicators. Research design, data, and methodology - It is the discovery of statistical indicators and complementary indicators that have not been revealed in previous studies. Therefore, we sought to find new statistical parameters based on the statistics of the Korea National Statistical Office, the Bank of Korea, and overseas OECD statistics. (Proper Size of Adequacy) is defined as the specific gravity or number of the self-employed in Korea, which is shown as "Out Put" by statistical analysis of STATA panel statistical data. It is possible to further develop variables such as gross domestic product, gross national product, economic growth rate, unemployment rate, income tax rate, consumer price, tax level, exports, import amount, bill default I want to dig. Results - In addition to expanding economic indicators that can be explained by self-employment determinants, we have developed a variety of methods such as linear and non-linear (U-shaped, inverted U-shaped). It is the improvement of the self-employment determinants and the analysis method to estimate the appropriate scale. Conclusions - The proposed contents are reflected in self - employment appropriateness evaluation data and hope to help the government to select the policy support and to evaluate the government business after the policy support. These efforts are expected to be of great help to operators operating their own businesses, and to government and related institutional practitioners who support them. In this way, self-employment will be created in accordance with the Korean situation, where the happy life of all the people becomes the premise and the inclusive economic activities are guaranteed. It will improve the method of analyzing proper scale of small business owners and self-employed in Korea.

Geun-Ha Suh 한국유통과학회 2015 KODISA ICBE (International Conference on Business Vol.2015 No.-

In the workforce aspect, the source of weakness in self-employed in Korea can be classified into two types as follows: First, the desired retirement age in main jobs is 72 years of age but the actual retirement age is 53 years of age. Second, the lack of effective reemployment market. However, the ripple effect of the small business owners policy promoted by Small and Medium Business Administration and the Small Enterprise and Market Service appeared to be satisfactory. In order to maximize the effect of the support policy of the government, innovative strategy and implementation improvement are necessary in four aspects, such as management training, consulting, cooperation, and goal management. To accomplishment for all government's station should gather together and provide unionization of self-employee of small business centers and carry out cooperation support role and provide coexistence plans for large companies and small enterprises and ensure maximization of on-site penetration effect of the government policy in order to accomplish a successful future for Korean self-employed.

본 연구는 소상공인 적정규모의 관리를 위하여 소상공인 과당경쟁실태가 신규사업진입율과 폐업율에 미치는 영향을 분석할 수 있는 경제지표 변수탐색과 예측결과 추정모형을 개발 하고자 하였다. 본 연구에서 도출한 모형은 진입률, 경제성장률(GDP 증가율), 실업률 3개 변수를 적시하였다. 소상공인 진입률은 소상공인 폐업률에 양(+)의 방향으로, 경제성장률은 폐업률 비중에 음(-)의 방향으로, 실업률은 소상공인 폐업률에 양(+)의 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타나 소상공인 진입에 소위 끌어내기 가설보다는 밀어내기 가설이 성립되고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구모형에 당해 연도 소상공인 사업체 시장 진입률, 지역경제성장률, 그리고 실업률을 투입하여 산출식을 계산하면, 우리나라 소상공인의 폐업률을 예측하는 경제적 지표로 사용이 가능하다. 따라서 본 연구는 향후 정부의 소상공인 적정규모 관리를 위한 정책입안과 예측시 중요한 역할을 할 것으로 기대된다. This study aimed to examine the effect of excessive competition between small enterprises on entry and exit rates, By developing an estimation model, we were able to draw the following conclusions: First, the entry rate of small enterprises showed a significant effect on the exit rate of small enterprises in a positive (+) direction. Second, the rate of economic growth showed a significant effect on the proportion of the exit rate in a negative (-) direction. Third, an unemployment rate showed a positive (+) effect on the exit rate of small enterprises. The prediction model of the study can be utilized as an economic indicator for estimating the exit rate of small enterprises in Korea and will be served as a matter of impotence for the government`s policy making and forecasting.
