The impact of industry characteristics on born global firms'internationalization process is widely acknowledged. Even though there are studies focusing on other industries, the franchise industry's internationalization patterns have not been generally analyzed. Through a multiple case-study research focusing on a comparison between franchise and other industries, we are able to define "born-global franchise" in the internationalization pattern and specific influential factors. Our findings show that (1) leadership and creativity of executive, (2) learning orientation and technology orientation, (3) differentiated proprietary technology (4) observation of the surrounding environment.

The paper investigates the determinants of firm's standardization activity in the Korean service industry. Standardization variables as dependent ones are standardization management at the firm level, domestic standardization activity, and international standardization activity. The independent variables include innovative activities(R&D intensity and patent application), firm size, export ratio, network, and firm's organization characteristics. We estimated the logistic regression model, using the data from 102 Korean service firms. The empirical findings are as follows. First, R&D intensity has a positive effect on international standardization activity, but not on the standardization management at the firm level and domestic standardization activity. Second, patent application has a negative effect on the standardization management at the firm level. Third, firm size doesn't have any influence on firms' standardization activities in the service sector. Fourth, the level of chief executive officer's interest on standardization is a very important factor in determining firms' efforts to participate standardization process, regardless of types of standardization activity.

The globalization of business is making it more important than ever to understand how international human resource can be utilized more competitively. This study explores how the international human resource strategies between global integration and local responsiveness affects the company's competitive advantage. The findings for global integration strategy suggest that when a subsidiary is highly dependent on the parent company's resources and the findings for local responsiveness suggest that when a subsidiary is highly dependant on the host country's resources and institution. This study proposes competitive advantage by the global integration strategy and local responsiveness strategy. The effects of IHRM to create value for company's core competence was analyzed. Two IHRM strategic choices will affect the different competences such as integration and localization abilities.

Agroforestry is an ecological and economic land-use system that enables sustainable agriculture by combining forestry, agriculture, and livestock industries. North Korea chose agroforestry as a strategy for the restoration of sloping land and deforested land. Agroforestry was proposed for the inter-Korean forest cooperation subcommittee meeting and is currently highlighting carbon removal and promoting the '2050 Carbon Neutral Strategy' and 'Korea Peninsula Green Détente.' The study area, Suan-gun, Hwanghaebuk-do, is a constant deforestation monitoring area and a pilot site for management by the International Center for Research in Agroforestry. The requirements for agroforestry were analyzed through literature analysis. The agroforestry site-suitability map was visualized by applying GIS overlap analysis. Approximately 8,839 ha of sloping area was selected as suitable for agroforestry management, which is about 15% of Suan. We compared the map with Google Earth images and visually detected the land use status, such as agroforestry in Suan, to verify the results. As a future study, we will consider both natural-environment and socioeconomic factors and evaluate the relative importance of the factors to produce a high-accuracy agroforestry sitesuitability map at the national scale with the goal of producing basic data for the inter-Korea forest cooperation policy for long-term goals.

한국건설품질협회가 지난 7월 18일 건설회관에서 CS9001품질경영시스템과 AQUA품질평가시스템 제도 도입을 위한 공청회를 개최하고 국제수준의 품질기준 마련에 들어갔다. 최근 들어 건설시장 개방에 따라 국제수준의 품질기준으로 국내 고객을 보호하고, 기능인력의 품질확보 능력을 배양 시켜 해외와 국내공사의 품질격차를 해소, 국가 경쟁력을 강화하고 하자보수 비용 감소로 건설업체의 질적 향상은 물론, 재무 건전성을 향상시키기 위한 시스템이 요구됨에 따라 한국건설품질협회가 CS9001 및 AQUA품질평가시스템 제도 도입에 들어간 것. 이 시스템이 도입될 경우 발주자는 품질의 공신력 확보, 품질확보 계약적 근거 유지가 가능하고 시공자는 실패비용의 최소화, 협력업체 기능품질 강화 등이 기대된다. CS9001, AQUA시스템의 적용범위는 중급품질관리 대상공사로 총공사비 100억원이상 건축 시설물로 초기에는 주거시설만 우선 적용하고 공공 및 민간공동주택 중 공사비 100억원이상에 적용할 예정이다.CS9001품질경영시스템, AQUA품질평가시스템에 대해 알아본다.

This study examined testing condition when consumers have a strong ordinal preference and in a absence of established ordinal for a given attribute, how adding common features to two brands in a given product category affects brand choice. Research findings presented in this study are generally consistent with the preference confirmation view of choice. The data provides support for the proposition that (1) the effect of common features is moderated by the relative importance of brand attributes(Hypothesis 1) and (2) in the presence of primary attribute adding common features increases the likelihood of choosing the brand with the best value on this attribute(Hypotheses 2).
