창업가의 성장경험 분석 = An Analysis on Entrepreneur’s Growth Experience

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this research is to investigate on the type and characteristics of entrepreneur’s ‘growth experience’, which lead the entrepreneur to a development of his/her personal aspect and organization as well. Such topic was explored by conducting in-depth interviews with 16 entrepreneurs who have more than 3 years of experience in working on his/her own enterprise. The results of this study were drawn as follows. First, the entrepreneur’s growth experience can be categorized into three parts: comfort zone experience, stretch zone experience, and panic zone experience. Comfort zone is the domain where the perceived risk is not so big, and entrepreneurs feel that he/she has control of the situation. Second, the characteristic of entrepreneur’s growth experience is ‘dialectical growth’. Dialectical growth means that entrepreneurs grow through the circulation process of thesis, anti-thesis, and synthesis. This study is significant in the following perspectives. First of all, entrepreneurs grow through both routine and critical experiences. For entrepreneurs, routine is not a status quo, but a shrinking condition. Therefore entrepreneurs should try their best to maintain their present circumstances which can consolidate the foundation for further growth. Second, it is suggested that entrepreneurial experience be offered in entrepreneurial education. For example, lecture by incumbent entrepreneurs can be included in education program, or ‘lean startup’ can be used to give students a direct entrepreneurial experience.

본 연구에서는 창업가의 경험 중 개인 및 조직의 성장으로 이끄는 경험을 성장경험이라 명명하고, 그 유형 및 특징에 관하여 탐구하였다. 이를 위해 창업 경력이 3년차 이상인 창업가 16명을 대상으로 심층면담을 진행하여 수집된 자료를 바탕으로 질적 연구를 수행하였다. 연구의 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 창업가의 성장경험 분류는 창업가가 제어할 수 있고, 인지된 위험이 크지 않다고 판단되는 안전지대 경험, 창업가가 의도적으로 자신의 안전지대를 넓히고자 하는 확장지대 경험, 창업가의 제어 범위를 벗어난 사건이 창업가에게 발생하여 겪는 혼돈지대 경험으로 나타났다. 둘째, 창업가의 성장경험은 변증법적 성장이라는 특징을 갖는다. 즉 창업가는 현재 상태로서의 정의 경험, 그것을 깨뜨리는 경험인 반의 경험, 반을 극복한 성장을 의미하는 합의 경험을 순환하면서 성장을 이룬다. 본 연구는 다음과 같은 점에서 의의를 갖는다. 첫째, 창업가는 일상적인 경험과 비일상적인 경험 모두를 통하여 성장한다는 점을 밝혔다. 창업가에게 일상은 현재 상태의 유지가 아닌, 활동하지 않으면 쇠퇴하는 특징을 갖고 있다. 그렇기 때문에 창업가에게 일상 경험이란 현재를 유지하기 위해 부단히 노력하여 추후 성장의 발판을 튼튼히 한다는 의미를 갖고 있다. 둘째, 창업가 교육에서 창업 경험을 제공할 필요성을 제기하였다. 이를 위해서 창업가 교육 프로그램에서 직간접적인 창업 경험의 제공, 린스타트업 기법을 활용한 창업가 교육 등이 제안되었다.
