This research is purposed to analyze the effect of firms' current socially responsible management on the future corporate financial performance with specified areas of socially responsible management according to the beneficiaries. Tobin's Q statistic and return on assets are calculated and exploited as measures of corporate financial performance. as of empirical analysis results, we found that the social contributions in the consumer area and external social contribution at time t influence the Tobin's Q statistic at time (t+1) in the aggregate analysis. as it is revealed that there is no effect in the firms with the outstanding social performance to the future corporate financial performance, we understand that the capital market is very sensitive to the external social contribution including consumers of firms with the weak social performance rather than the social contribution of socially outstanding firms. This sensitivity of capital market can effectively enhance the social contribution of firms, in particular listed firms with the weak social performance.

This study examines optimal emission taxes and welfares in mixed duopoly markets where public and private firms produce differentiated goods and emit pollutions. Both comparing quantity and price competitions and comparing simultaneous and simultaneous games provides the followings findings: First, irrespective of competition modes between quantity and price competitions or simultaneous and sequential games, the optimal emission tax is always lower than marginal environmental damage. Second, emission tax under private leadership is the highest in quantity competition while that under public leadership is the highest in price competition. Third, environmental damage under Cournot and private leadership is worsened in quantity competition while that under public leadership is worsened in price competition. Finally, welfare under Bertrand and public leadership is improved in price competition while that under private leadership is improved in quantity competition.

This study focused on the brand attitude of consumers toward social innovation companies so that they could have differentiated competitive advantage and secure competitive advantage with ordinary companies. To this end, the difference in consumer brand attitudes between products of social innovation entities and products of general enterprises was compared through blind testing. The blind test results of this study showed that there was no statistically significant difference in product properties or brand attitudes, but after the information of the after-sales product was disclosed, the information included that the soap product used as a laboratory was natural handmade soap, indicating that post-brand attitudes improved in both social innovation and general enterprise products. And after explaining the social values pursued by social innovators, the increased interest in social innovation firms compared to ordinary enterprises resulted in a statistically significant increase in brand attitudes toward social innovation enterprise products. Clear and unexaggerated information displays on product packaging can be a tool to improve brand attitudes. In addition, in order to raise consumer awareness of social innovation enterprise products, there will be a need to enhance education and promotion policies for social innovation companies at the government level, and developing self-help measures for social innovation companies to promote themselves by presenting the contents of their social values as advertising copy on their product packaging may also be another breakthrough for improving brand attitudes and increasing sales.

The aim of this paper is to explore the role played by the endogenous farming organization sustaining rural community's competitiveness. Nulmi-Ri, Chungdo Kun in Kyongsangbuk-do chosen as a case study area is known to be one of the most competitive rural communities, making a living with a peach farming. This community maintains its competi- tiveness by operating a community-based filming organization which was organised in an endogenous way. Most of individual farmers in this community belong to the farming organization and they have cooperative relationships in the processes of production and distribution. In this respect, the exchange and circulation of knowledge, and collective learning, tend to be significantly taken place between the organization members. Based on the experience of the Nulmi-Ri's endogenous farming organization, we propose some constructive comments for rural community development.

We introduce a simple theoretical model to analyze the welfare impact of a competition policy in the natural gas market in South Korea. An incumbent monopolistic firm currently owns essential facilities, but the competition policy mandates that the firm provide open access to any entrant firm, charging an access fee. When no regulation is imposed on the fee pricing, this policy increases social welfare as well as the profit of the incumbent firm. When the pricing is regulated, however, social welfare depends on whether there is information asymmetry between the government and the firm regarding the operating cost of the facilities. If the government has complete information, social welfare can be maximized by choosing the optimal prices. Otherwise, the government has to set the prices based on the information that the firm delivers. We formulate a Bayesian game to analyze this case and identify a set of perfect Bayesian equilibria to compare social welfare.

국가경제 전반의 생산성, 기술혁신, 수출, 고용을 유지함에 있어 제조업의 역할 및 경쟁력 확보는 매우 중요하다. 제조업은 ICT 기기, 자동화기계 등을 공급함으로써 경제 전분야에 걸쳐 생산성 향상과 기술혁신을 견인하고 있다. 무역에서 가장 큰 비중을 차지하고 있는 제조업 분야는 전체 무역의 약 70%를 차지하고 있으며 제조업 경쟁력이 무역수지 흑자에 필수적이며 이를 위해서 로봇기술을 바탕으로 융합 신(新)산업을 창출하여 우리 제조업만의 경쟁우위를 확보해야 한다. 인건비 상승, 고령화 사회 진입, 중국이나 일본 등 경쟁국가 기업들의 위협으로 위기를 맞고 있는 중소제조기업들이 생산공정에 로봇도입을 통해 기업 경쟁력을 회복하는 것이 필요하다. 정부에서는 제조업의 위기 타개책으로 '스마트팩토리'를 제시하고 있다. 그러나 대부분의 중소제조기업이 아직 전산화 단계도 벗어나지 못하고 있는 현시점에서 기존 수공정에 로봇도입을 통한 제조공정의 스마트화가 우선적으로 필요하다. 본 고에서는 국내 중소제조업 현황을 알아보고 중소제조기업의 로봇도입을 통한 제조공정 스마트화에 대해 적용 사례를 중심으로 살펴보도록 한다.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate if any effects of GI cooperative learning method, which is compared to the effects of traditional competitive teaching-learning method on the students' academic attitude in middle school social studies classes. Conclusively, it is asserted to be a much more effective teaching-learning method. Some statistical evidences were gathered by questionnaire method just after the experimental classes being applied for a semester to the 241 first year middle school students in a small city. Using the t-test procedure, it is conformed that GI cooperative learning method can draw much more positive changes in the academic attitude of the students. In short, such positive changes in student's academic learning attitude can be related with the increase of self-trust in learning processes, the change in the conception of the subject, and the spontaneous interaction and verbal communication among the group members.

This study investigates the current features of social service provision system focusing on the core institutional traits of the system and community environment. Specifically, the study analyzes the differences in the contents and characteristics of social service provision, according to the community types, such as metropolitan area, medium size cities, and rural area. Also, the study explores the relationships among the three major subsystems in the social service provision system based on the types of financial provisions. Furthermore, the interaction effects between the community factors and financial traits on the relationships among sub- components in the service provision system are investigated. In this study other organizations, service users and public sector are regarded as three major sub-components in the provision system. The study utilizes the raw data from '2015 Social Service Demand and Provision Survey', which interviewed 4,100 social service organizations. Results from analyses show that the gap among metropolitan area, medium cites, and rural area is not so much bigger in the diverse provision features(e.g. the competition level, the major focus on the users, and policy demands on public sector) of provider-provision-organizations than in those of both of user-provision-organization and of market-way-organizations. User-provision organizations show the distinct differences in terms of the focus points on the users, while marketed organizations do in terms of the policy demands to the public sector. In rural area, user-provision organizations act like provider-provision-organizations whereas they do market-way-organizations in the urban area. Research findings show that the social service provision types utilizing market mechanism(such as user-provision, and market-way) are not so well fit into the characteristics of rural area.
