Outline of Final Research Achievements

We constructed a research database examining the process from inception to IPO of 1,266 Japanese and 1,113 Chinese start-up firms, and empirically examined the mechanism of establishing legitimacy through inception and subsequent social acceptance.
The main findings are: (1) although existing firms play a not insignificant role in providing both resources and credit to founding firms, (2) the relationship with existing firms can be both a growth asset and a liability for the firms, and (3) the role of startup support programs, known as accelerator programs are more prominent in the early stages of growth of supported firms; and (4) the transformation of social issues into market issues is an opportunity for market development with the creation of new categories.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究の学術的意義は大別して二つある。第一に、事前には市場に存在しない新規カテゴリを事後的に創造する過程として新規創業を捉え、社会的課題を市場課題に変換する主体として創業企業を捉える分析視角を提案したことにある。第二に、創業支援要因として創業環境、創業支援プログラム、既存企業との関係性について実証的にその効果を検討したことにある。創業と創業後の成長に寄与する要因は多面的であり、一面的に創業を捉えるのではなく、前職経験を通じた大企業との取引関係性など、複合的な側面から創業支援のあり方を検討していくことが我が国の創業促進に不可欠であることが示唆される。
