As Knowledge Management (KM) has taken an essential position of managing businesses in the knowledge-oriented society, many companies have adopted Knowledge Management System (KMS) into their organization. Many have questioned, however, in the result and the effectiveness in KMS. The purpose of this study is to explore ways to improve the current KMS by analyzing and identifying the causes that affect effectiveness of KMS. Blog which is an effective tool for communication could be used for KMS in order to make KMS more user friendly and more effective. This research is intended to conduct an empirical study on the differences between Blog-based KMS and Non-Blog-based KMS and suggest resolutions to potential issues of KMS. Blog-based KMS users show higher degree of satisfaction and usage toward their system. The result of this study suggests that the differences between two groups are primarily on system quality and knowledge quality, and many of these differences come from functions and characteristics of Blog.

The purpose of this study is to explore the antecedent factors to the piracy of the digital copyrights in order to provide basic data for piracy prevention policy. The findings of study revealed that most respondents had experiences to copy MP3 files illegally. And many respondents answered they didn't copy pirated material by themselves but others did piracy a lot. The feeling of quilt and anxiety against piracy is shown very low level. Low copy cost and regulation level significantly impact upon the cognitive level of other's piracy. Updated contents, the higher price of authenticated materal, piracy regulation are the significant antecedent factors to the level of piracy. The level of piracy activity and anxiety against piracy are significantly different by age. The cognitive level of other's piracy, piracy activity and anxiety are significantly different by gender.

uEFL is an open source solution to integrate general business/learning activities and processes. uEFL is originally developed to adopt LD (Learning Design) specification, which represents learning as various combination of learning activities with learning conditions and outcomes. Learning activities are described with participant's role, learning environment, and contextual sequence. This viewpoint resembles BPM (Business Process Modeling). uEFL can convert LD to BPM description. uEFL engine can run converted LD activity with other business activities. This paper presents 4 templates and 2 sample models for uEFL. The templates and models will show how learning activities can be integrated with business activities efficiently.

E-Commerce in China is being expanded by way of policy for improving e-Commerce such as e-Government though China introduced e-Commerce later than other countries. There is going to be an e-Commerce boom in China owing to IT development and increasing use of Internet. It is estimated that China will be among the world's largest e-Commerce market in the future. E-Commerce Cooperation between Korea and China has been undergone as a part of Korea-Japan-China e-Commerce. The outcome of e-Commerce Cooperation between Korea and China is less than that of e-Commerce Cooperation between Korea and Japan. Therefore, there must be the development of Vision and roadmap and organizational reform in Government, sufficient budget, consideration of digital divide and improvement of Korea-Japan-China e-Commerce Cooperation for e-Commerce Cooperation between Korea and China, The purpose of this paper contributes to improve the e-Commerce cooperation between Korean and China and to improve e-Commerce infrastructures in China by estimating current e-Commerce Cooperation between Korea and China and suggesting development strategies of Korea and China e-Commerce cooperation.

Website service quality is widely accepted as one of the key determinants of online business success. Several studies identified key factors that determine the website service quality factors appropriate for online business environments. A convention and visitors bureau (CVB) website is a service portal that delivers information online about a destination so users can develop an overall image of the location. CVBs struggle to deliver positive destination images because the competition among destinations to host conventions is intense. In spite of the important role of CVBs and the beneficial spillover effect of CVBs, there are few studies available reporting on the unique service qualities of a CVB website. The primary purpose of this study was to examine the determining factors that are appropriate for CVB websites from the meeting planners' perspective. The research questions arc: What are the determining factors of service quality of a CVB website? Do the determining factors of CVB website service quality positively influence meeting planners' satisfaction? The new conceptual framework was developed from a variety of destination marketing and Internet marketing concepts: e-servicescape management, web community network, Internet service encounter management, and online system quality. Empirical results indicate that three of the four factors, that is, e-servicescape, web community network, and online system quality are important determinants in evaluating CVB website service quality. The findings also show that three determinants have significant and positive influence on meeting planners' satisfaction. The findings from this study will provide meaningful advice for CVB website quality management. To enhance the CVB website service quality and satisfaction level of meeting planners, these three determinants' should be considered of the utmost strategic importance and priority.

This study will also obviously provide Korean export corporations having invested in foreign countries with the solid base to set up their marketing channel and localization adaptation strategy to compete with other export corporations abroad.

This study shows the following results. First, the assessment items of the whole exhibition operation, workforce, counselor's ability, facility and environment were important analysis factors for exhibition recognition, quality of human operation and quality of exhibition facility and environment. Second, exhibition recognition was found to be the most significant factor that influenced exhibitor's cognitive achievement, exhibition employee operation and exhibition facility. Third, exhibitors' satisfaction simultaneously increased as exhibition recognition and employee operation quality were raised. However, exhibition facility didn't strongly influence exhibitors' satisfaction. Fourth, high exhibition recognition, employee operation and exhibition facility resulted in high cognitive achievement and exhibitor's loyalty. Fifth, exhibition recognition is a highly influential factor to mediate exhibitor's cognitive achievement and exhibitors' loyalty. It implied that exhibitors' cognitive achievement and satisfaction were significantly related to the exhibition quality factor. Moreover, it indicated the effective and efficient operational method to strengthen promotional strategy, enhance the quality of employee operation, exhibition facility and environment. Thus, the results suggest a new method to evaluate exhibitor's satisfaction in the exhibition industry.

South Korea has spend billions planing for entertainment contents development, exporting contents, developing strategies for overseas marketing. But one piece of the plan may be missing: The ability of corporations to continue to provide vital services. Over the years, a number of studies have examined korean waves and have reached the same conclusion: starting a activity without reasonable strategies tends to have effects on merchandising, income, image, etc. For the purpose of analysis, this study has adopted SWOT matrix, Japan's market, for instance, is mixed by variation factors-opportunities, threats, strengths, weakness. Fortunately, Because Japan's market, the most world's cultural contents, has an environmental condition of advanced level, If Our en-contents have a high level, through localization and strategic alliance, the marketing strategies for japan' market will do a good chance of success.

This study develops the market attractiveness assessment model and draws the strategic target markets and their corresponding exporting strategies through identifying the market positions in the dimensions of market attractiveness scores and market positional strength to achieve the innovative export promotion of Korean heavy electric industry and the resulting improvement and reversal of comparative-disadvantage position. In chapter 2, we analyze the stages of selecting target markets, the constructs and their measure variables of market attractiveness models, and the components and strategic policy implications of directional policy matrix. And in chapter 3, we identify the comparative advantage positions of Korean heavy electric industry in the global market through analyzing its trade structure, trends, balance, ratio-balance, and specialization index by the item and the region respectively. We find that the Asia/Pacific region is the most attractive export market of the Korean heavy electric equipment industry, the following important strategic target markets are the America, MENA, CIS/East Europe Regions in the order of their attractiveness and competitive position dimensions. In the mean time, the sub-Sahara Africa and West Europe region is shown to be the long-run-viewpoint target market requiring the innovation or divest strategies owing to their low attractiveness and the low market share of Korean exports.

The development of Korea in the Northeast through trade is not a matter of choice as far as national strategy is concerned, but is an important national policy that is a matter of life or death which will determine the future fate of Korea. This thesis will attempt to arrive at a general, tangible plan for the development of Korea in the Northeast centered around trade by examining the change in naval environment at home and abroad, the given economic situation in the Northeast, and the present state of essential port development in Korea-China-Japan. Its objective will be to provide strategies for the development of Busan port confrontation. For the last ten years, China has been growing at a rapid rate. Since a lot of the volume of naval trade is being transferred from Korea to China, we must do everything we can to improve the service and reduce cost. In addition, Japan also is losing international position. Japan's government and the private industry are trying to make Super Core Ports a prominent feature of their port system. If the Busan port system is to remain competitive, these aspects of the Japanese port system must be kept in mind to prevent trade from going to other ports with more competitive systems.

The China has opened the distribution market completely since it joined the World Trade Organization on Dec 11 2001. The notable features of Chinese distribution market are the transition from the consumers' monolithic demand to diversification for the luxury goods, well-being products. The regional characteristics of consumers are smart, conservative, optimistic and advanced. and the open door policy has prompted the capitalistic economy gradually. We analyzed the Chinese distribution markets and came up with the following strategies. First, we recommend the setting of the key regional market not covering the whole chinese markets. then we can extend the main market step by step. Second, we need to cooperate and advance with the Korean distribution companies which entered into markets already. Third, we need to acquire the competitive and stable distribution channel in China. Fourth, we need to implement the localization strategy in terms of human resources and procurement. Fifth, the consignment management can be another strategy. I hope this research can be a little help to those who wish to expand to the Chinese markets.

The economic development system of Korea is based on export-oriented strategy and the free trade agreement. So Korea is trying to conclude the free trade agreement with China, Japan, and EU. The reason is that Korea will have more chances to develop there economy scale and trade surplus, but it will give the worst economic situation. The research showed that the effects of FTA on Korea's GDP will be much greater than China's and Korea's trade surplus with China will expand in the manufacturing sector, but agricultural and marine products are layed in opposite situation. Especially comparing with other Provincial, Gwangju Jeonnam has a relative importance portion of agricultural and marine products. So, Gwangju Jeonnam have to prepare the effects of agricultural and marine products under the Korea China FTA.

The advance information for oceangoing cargoes destined to th United States enable CBP to evaluate the potential risk of smuggling WMD and to facilitate the prompt release of legitimate cargo following its arrival in the Unites States. On January 1, 2008, CBP promulgate regulations, also known as 10+2 rule, to require the electronic transmission of additional data elements for improved high-risk targeting, including appropriate security elements of entry data for cargo destined to the United States by vessel prior to loading of such cargo on vessels at foreign seaports. The potential impact to an importer's international supply chain will be as follows ; Firstly, importers will take incremental supply chain costs and filing costs. Secondly, anticipate delay in shipment of containerized cargo. Thirdly, importers could be charged fines if they fail to file and file inaccurate or missing data. Companies exporting to the United States should be interested in 10+2 rule, analyze their current processes and procedures to ensure that they are prepared to handle the additional filing requirements of 10+2 rule. And they should focus on how 10+2 impacts their supply chain in terms of costs and sourcing. They will be necessary to revise service legal agreements with their forwarders, customs brokers or carriers in order to meet filing requirements of 10+2 rule.

Korean firms have had a short history of foreign direct investment and export in China market entry.

In China market character, the variance are China trade barrier, culture different, competition power. The variance in company character are internationalization experience, enterprise rage and entry motivation. Also the variance in product character are product different, customer service and cost advantage. It is researcher's main interest that which type of China market entry format brought most positive evaluation form the Korean manufacture firms. therefor, these research results turned out to be different a little both export and direct investment in China market of Korean manufacture firms.

The SPS Agreement, concluded in the Uruguay Round for the purpose of controlling SPS risks, has traditionally been recognized to maintain the narrowest scope of application compared with TBT Agreement and GATT in relation with environmental provisions. Contrary to such an understanding on the scope of the SPS Agreement, the panel in the EC-Biotech case found that the SPS Agreement extends to regulate trade-restrictive measures on Genetically Modified Organizations(GMOs) causing health and environmental risks. This expanding scope of the SPS Agreement would have substantial influence on domestic environmental regulations as well as Multilateral Environmental Agreements(MEAs). This paper discusses the consequences of an expanding ambit for the WTO SPS Agreement through the designation of a wider range of health and environmental regulations affecting trade as SPS measures. As a result, not only precautionary measures on GMO risks, but also other health and environmental measures with trade impacts, could be subject to SPS control, and consequently, the institutional rigors of the WTO regime. However, strict and literal interpretation of the SPS provisions to expand its applicable scope would cause concerns about the WTO's intervention on the purely environmental measures. Pursuing harmonized and flexible interpretation of provisions on environment-related conflicts as well as accepting precautionary principle included MEAs will contribute to reduce such kind of concerns.

무대장치 및 특수조명서비스 수출시장은 대기업들로서는 관심이 소홀한 틈새시장이 될 수 있다는 점에서 중소기업에게는 유리하다는 측면이 있다. 현실적으로 글로벌 대기업들은 대형 건설 프로젝트에 관심을 집중하는 성향이었으므로 중소형 규모로 시행되는 무대장치 및 특수조명서비스 공사의 경우는 중소기업에 적합할 수 있다는 것이다. 그러나 문제는 해외의 광활한 시장에 중소기업이 뛰어들어 제조-서비스 연계형 수출을 실행할 수 있는 능력이 있는지 그 여부에 있으며, 실제 이러한 수출경험은 거의 축적되어 있지 않다는 점이 우려스러운 것이다. 한국경제의 특성상 글로벌 틈새시장 하나라도 긴요하지 않을 수 없는 것이 현실이므로 무대장치 및 특수조명서비스의 결합형 수출프로세스에 대한 지원제도 구축이 시급한 이유가 바로 여기에 있는 것이다. 본 연구는 지금까지 국내시장에 주력하고 있는 무대장치 및 특수조명서비스 관련 산업에 대하여 수출상품화의 필요성을 강조하고 우리나라의 제조업 위기를 보완할 수 있는 성장동력화의 가능성을 분석해 보았다. 현재는 한국의 수출산업이 나아가야 할 글로벌 틈새시장으로만 보이지만 소득증가에 따른 문화산업의 발전가능성이 예견되고 있으므로 이 분야의 관련 산업들은 향후 더욱 성장할 것으로 판단된다. 한국의 플랜트 수출이 현재 활황기에 있는 사례를 면밀히 분석하여, 중소기업의 해외진출 업종으로 적합한 무대장치 및 특수조명서비스를 틈새시장에서 출발하여 주력시장으로 성장시킬 수 있 도록 교훈을 얻고 제조-서비스 연계형 수출모델을 구상하여 해외진출을 추진할 필요가 있다. 이와 같은 한국경제 및 수출환경의 배경에서 본 연구는 제조-서비스 연계형 수출상품화 모델을 개발함으로써 한국수출의 한계를 극복하는 데에 도용을 줄 수 있는 대안을 모색하고자 시도되었다. 그 동안 극소수의 해외진출 중소기업이 있었으나 글로벌 시장에의 적응력 부족 및 문화적 차이의 숙지 미흡 등 이 분야의 수출산업화 경험부족으로 실패한 사례가 있다. 그러나 점점 가시화되고 있는 한국 제조업의 한계를 방치할 수는 없으므로 보완책을 마련하는 일이 시급하며, 그 대안적 역할을 수행할 수 있는 분야로 서비스수출을 제안할 수 있다. 본 연구의 결과 무대장치 및 특수조명서비스 분야의 제조-서비스 연계형 수출 모델은 마래 성장가능성이 높은 분야로 예상될뿐더러 제조부문 및 서비스부문의 시너지 효과를 기대할 수 있다는 점을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 실행전략의 골격은 제조 및 서비스 산업의 두 축을 결합, 복합, 융합함으로써 다양한 수출상품을 파생시켜 나갈 수 있다는 강점을 기대할 수 있다는 점도 동 부문의 연계형 수출모델의 성공가능성을 높여주고 있다. 본 연구의 결과는 동 부문에 관련된 산업의 해외시장 진출 기회를 적극적으로 모색할 수 있도록 동기부여의 효과를 제공할 것으로 기대된다. 또한 글로벌 틈새시장의 해외진출을 가속화시킬 계기마련과 아울러 이 분야의 수출진흥을 위한 정책적 제도마련의 기회도 될 것으로 확신한다 또한 연구의 진행 방법과 관련하여 본 과제의 수행으로 산학협력 관계를 긍정적으로 이해하고 이를 활성화시킬 수 있는 계기가 될 수 있음을 확신한다.

Because Korea and Japan has joined WTO and OECD, it is impossible to carry out a direct export-promoted policy such as export subsidies. Therefore, the only policy which is internationally valid for promoting an export is the export insurance. Hence export insurance system became more useful tool since it's one of the few allowed subsidies under WTO. This paper examines to find the impacts of export insurance on the export supply in Korea and Japan. The period of data is from 1980 to 2006. Unlike previous studies on the effectiveness of export subsidy in export supply, the current study examines the stationarity nature of the concerned variables. The unit root tests show that all variables are not I(0) Time Series. Instead, they are I(1) Time Series. To this, cointegration verification was conducted based on the use of Johansen verification method to define the existence (or non-existence) of long-term balance relationship among variables. The concerned variables are revealed to be cointegrated. In order to analyze, this study introduce a VEC model. In this paper we construct two VEC models. The one is about Korea, the other is about Japan. The empirical evidences show that export insurance system has not contributed to promoting export supply in Japan. But the results of empirical analysis showed significant and positive effects of Korea export insurance upon the export supply.

The purpose of this study was to analyze which factors have had impacts on extension export insurance charge of Korean export insurance. In order to attainment of this study, an empirical study was proceeded. The export insurance charge was hired as the dependent variable and export insurance premium, insurance compensation charge, export insurance collection charge and export insurance fund were used as independent variables. Data was used for estimation are the annually data from 1969 to 2007. From results of this analysis, we find the hired variables have highly correlation among them and the most influential factor turns out to be export insurance fund. Main results of this study was as follows : i) The export insurance fund must be increased immediately. ii) It is necessary that Korea Export Insurance Corporation give their attention to the compensate amount of export insurance compensation on specific insurance item. iii) It is necessary that Korea Export Insurance Corporation extension the collection efforts of the export insurance. iv) A reasonable raising of export insurance premium need to be done.

Export Credit Agency(ECA) plays a role of importance in international trade and investment flows. The first ECA, the Export Credits Guarantee Department(ECGD) of the United kingdom, was established in 1919. Its original purpose was to encourage and support exports that would not otherwise have taken. Similar motivations led to the establishment, most of those in operation today. Their traditional role is to support and encourage exports and outward investment by insuring international trade and investment transactions, and in some cases by providing trade finance directly. ECA come in all shapes and sizes, and there in no such thing as a typical ECA model. Most of them insure both political and commercial risks on exports and until the last decade. They operated as government entities or on the account of their government, and many of them have changed and are still changing. This study focuses and analyzes the changes of those four major countries' ECAs, which are the U.S.A.(EXIM), France(COFACE), Japan(JBIC), and Canada(EDC).

Various export supporting systems of Korean government have affected Korean economy to be 13th in the world and over US$ seven hundred trillion in terms of the volume. Especially, export insurance system use to cover the commercial risks of Korean exporter. That is why Korean exporter have been able to do their best in exporting and expand overseas market actively. On the other hand, China who use to drive strong export expansion policy after joining WTO, have also very focused on export insurance system and developed its applicable items. From the point of view above, It is very meaningful study to compare the export insurance system between Korea and China. It is suggested that government funds for export insurance should be raised to give exporters more benefits. New kinds of export insurance items, also, should be developed to actively face international trade environment change.

Medical tourism is a contemporary phenomenon which has its roots in both tourism and health care industry. This market has grown significantly' for the last 10 years. The purpose of this study is to suggest strategies to develop medical tourism in Korea by studying cases of the medical tourism developed countries such as Singapore, Malaysia, India, Thailand as well as analysis medical tourists who has visited to H university hospital. In total of 254 medical tourists were analysed and the results of the study are followed: Korean government need to appease medical law to be able to attract more medical tourists; medical industry and tourism industry need to develop Korean specialized medical tourism package, Middle-Eastern markets, where the oil money exists, should be developed.
