초록

신생 벤처기업은 초기 자원을 어떻게 배분할지에 대해 전략적 선택에 직면하게 된다. 이와 동시에 창업자 경험과 외부협력은 신생 벤처기업의 자원배분 전략과 재무성과에 영향을 미친다. 이에 본 연구는 신생 벤처기업의 자원배분 전략의 선택이 재무성과에 어떤 관계가 있는지, 동시에 창업자 경험과 외부협력은 어떤 상호작용 효과가 있는지를 연구한다. 본 연구의 결과는 다음과 같다: 첫째, 신생 벤처기업은 다양한 역량 개발을 위한 넓은 자원배분 전략보다 좁게 집중된 자원배분 전략을 실행할 때 재무성과가 높아진다. 둘째, 신생 벤처기업의 창업자 경험이 많을수록 집중적인 자원배분 전략과 재무성과의 정(+)의 관계는 덜 뚜렷하게 나타난다. 본 연구의 의의는 신생 벤처 기업이 성장하기 위해 자원배분 전략을 어떻게 취해야 할지에 대한 연구 활성화에 기여한다. 또한 창업가들에게 신생 벤처기업의 역량 개발을 위한 자원배분 전략을 어떻게 실행해야 하는지에 대해 깊은 이해를 제공하고 궁극적으로 신생 벤처기업의 성장을 촉진하는 데 도움을 줄 것이다.

Abstract

New ventures in the early stages face strategic choices about resource allocation, deciding whether to develop capabilities broadly or narrowly. Simultaneously, founder experience and external collaboration affect the resource allocation strategy and performance. Therefore, this study aims to research the relationship between resource allocation strategy and performance, considering the interaction of founder experience and external collaboration in new ventures. The results of this study are as follows: First, a focused resource allocation strategy has a positive relationship with financial performance in new ventures. Second, founder experience mitigates the positive relationship between a focused resource allocation strategy and financial performance in new ventures. The significance of this study contributes to the activation of research on resource allocation strategy and capability development. Additionally, this study will help entrepreneurs better understand how to develop capabilities and allocate resources, thereby enhancing the growth of new ventures.
