Abstract

This study is consideration of Park, Mun-su’s model of the Enterprise and the entrepreneurship from his national scale of salt production with corporate production methods. In 18th century, because of government deficit, poor harvest, and contagious diseases, Joseon government’s major task was financial measures supplement. Thus, Park, Mun-su proposed a state-run salt production as most efficient method. He chose Myeongji-do as proper place and began to produce salt with Song, Jing-rae, who could share the process of risk. Park purchased timber for fuel, and paid wages to the workers. Also he employed middle managers too. As a result, Park produced about 4.8million litters of salt in 1741 to 1742 from Myeongji-do, and produced about 4.3million litters of salt in 1733. After Park’s achievement, his instance established as “Yeongnam ja-yeom jeol-mog”, “Honam ja-yeom jeol-mog”, in addition, salt enterprise expanded to other regions. Park’s production methods of salt were Joseon’s first corporate production. He purchased resources and labors with economical lines, pursued efficiency and profitability, and carried forward technical development and constant investment of production facility. Park, Mun-su described the methods as the increase of one’s property. Also he thought production has to quantitatively expand for national finance. Park’s almsgiving theory was new business theory and management nationalism. We can find origin of present Korean major entrepreneurship, management nationalism from Park, Mun-su. Another Park’s method was human resources management as an initial notion. Out of Joseon’s traditional discriminant standard of talent, he presented new criteria as professional managerial skills. However Park, Mun-su’s salt production business had a limitation which was, the business couldn’t developed as an intact corporation, because it was limited to almsgiving policy till the end.
