본 연구는 1997년 이후부터 2022년까지 한국연구재단에 등재된 학술문헌을 ‘엔젤투자’와 ‘엔젤투자자’그리고 ‘엔젤투자유치’의 키워드로 검색하여 조사된 문헌들을 연도, 연구주제, 연구방식, 연구대상, 연구방법의 분류를 통해 국내 엔젤투자에 대한 체계적 문헌고찰을 실시하였다. 본 연구를 통해 국내에서 엔젤투자를 주제로 한 연구현황을 분석하여 해외연구대비 상대적으로 부족한 분야의 주제를 제시하였다. 또한, 엔젤투자 연구의 체계적 확장을 위한 연구방향과 관련한 사회과학적 이론을 제시하였다. 그리고 마지막으로 엔젤투자 분야의 연구 활성화를 위해 어떤 부분들이 필요할지 시사점을 제시하였다. 본 연구로 수집된 문헌들을 분석한 결과 국내의 엔젤투자 관련 연구주제는 엔젤투자자의 특성, 벤처창업기업, 제도 및 정책, 엔젤투자의사, 엔젤투자 유형 등에 초점을 두고 있었으며, 향후 연구에서는 엔젤투자 성과분석, 엔젤투자의 사례연구, 그리고 국내 엔젤투자 규모의 성장과 활성화에 도움이 될 수 있도록 연구의 확장이 필요하다는 결론을 도출하였다. 또한, 벤처창업기업, 엔젤투자 유형, 엑설러레이터, 벤처캐피탈, 제도 및 정책 등 특정 변수에 초점을 둔 연구에서 벗어나 크라우드펀딩, 투자수익률 등 엔젤투자에 관련된 다양한 변수관계를 연구할 필요가 있다. 특히, 앞으로 엔젤투자 성과를 예측하고 해석하는 데 중요한 역할을 하는 다양한 독립변수들과의 관계를 더 자세히 탐구하는 연구가 더욱 필요하다. 또한, 엔젤투자와 투자 의사결정에 영향을 미치는 다양한 변수들에 대한 이론적 구조를 분석하여 이러한 구조에 대한 질적 및 양적연구가 다방면으로 활성화 될 필요가 있다. 본 연구를 통해 향후 엔젤투자 분야에서 보다 다양한 연구가 진행되길 기대하며, 이러한 연구결과들은 국내 엔젤투자의 활성화에도 기여할 수 있을 것이다.
The investigation delved into 457 pieces of scholarly work, encompassing articles, published theses, and dissertations from the National Research Foundation of Korea, spanning the period of the 1997 IMF financial crisis up to 2022. The materials were sourced using terms such as "angel investment", "angel investor", and "angel investment attraction". The initial phase involved filtering out redundant entries from the preliminary collection of 267 works, leaving aside pieces that didn"t pertain directly to angel investment as indicated in their abstracts. The next stage of the analysis involved a more rigorous selection process. Out of 43 papers earmarked in the preceding cut, only 32 were chosen. The criteria for this focused on the exclusion of conference presentations, articles that were either not submitted or inconclusive, and those that duplicated content under different titles. The final selection of 32 papers underwent a thorough systematic literature review. These documents, all pertinent to angel investment in South Korea, were scrutinized under five distinct categories: 1) publication year, 2) themes of research, 3) strategies employed in the studies, 4) participants involved in the research, and 5) methods of research utilized. This meticulous process illuminated the existing landscape of angel investment studies within Korea. Moreover, this study pinpointed gaps in the current body of research, offering guidance on future scholarly directions and proposing social scientific theories to further enrich the field of angel investment studies and analysis also seeks to pinpoint which areas require additional exploration to energize the field of angel investment moving forward. Through a comprehensive review of literature, this research intends to validate the establishment of future research trajectories and pinpoint areas that are currently and relatively underexplored in Korea"s angel investment research stream. This study revealed that current research on domestic angel investment is concentrated on several areas: 1) the traits of angel investors, 2) the motivations behind angel investing, 3) startup ventures, 4) relevant institutions and policies, and 5) the various forms of angel investments. It was determined that there is a need to broaden the scope of research to aid in enhancing and stimulating the scale of domestic angel investing. This includes research into performance analysis of angel investments and detailed case studies in the field. Furthermore, the study emphasizes the importance of diversifying research efforts. Instead of solely focusing on specific factors like investment types, startups, accelerators, venture capital, and regulatory frameworks, there is a call for research that explores a variety of associated variables. These include aspects related to crowdfunding and return on investment in the context of angel investing, ensuring a more holistic approach to research in this domain. Specifically, there"s a clear need for more detailed studies focusing on the relationships with variables that serve as dependent variables influencing the outcomes of angel investments. Moreover, it"s essential to invigorate both qualitative and quantitative research that delves into the theoretical framework from multiple perspectives. This involves analyzing the structure of variables that have an impact on angel investments and the decisions surrounding these investments, thereby enriching the theoretical foundation of this field. Finally, we presented the direction of development for future research by confirming that the effect on the completeness of the business plan is high or low depending on the satisfaction of the entrepreneurs in addition to the components.
