사회적기업 지원제도에 관한 한·일간 비교 연구

Abstract

In this study, we wanted to propose suggestions for Korean social enterprises to come up with forward-looking and sustainable development measures through comparative research on the support system for social enterprises in Korea and Japan, taking into account the aspects that have been cited as problems with the support system for social enterprises. Comparative analysis based on the research process resulted in the following results and presented policy implications accordingly. First, in the case of Korea, financial support, business management support and other support systems are conducted under the government-led, so it is highly dependent on the central government. Consider this, it is highly likely that the suspension or reduction of the central government support system will have a serious negative impact on the existence of social enterprises themselves. In other words, for sustainable growth of social enterprises, building social and organizational networks, building their own management strategies, improving their organizational structures and building ecosystems and infrastructure that can create competitive advantage. Second, in Korea, the framework is established as diverse as direct and indirect financial support, business management support, and other support under the Social Enterprise Development Act, but many social enterprises such as those that cancel accreditation or close business often appear at the end of this support because of the high support of labor costs among direct financial support systems. This is deemed necessary to change the direction of the policy support system that can increase self-reliance by generating sustainable management performance of social enterprises. It can be said that Korea's support system for social enterprises has reached a time when it needs a shift in direction that can lead to stable management and qualitative growth and sustainable management, not quantitative growth of social enterprises. This is deemed to require, among other things, the establishment of an organic network of social enterprises and the creation of an eco-system.
