MyData is a new entity that strengthens the rights of information subjects through the 'right to data portability' and utilizes data to enable hyper-personalized services using personal information. Korea's MyData system is recognized globally as an outstanding system in that it is creating a new MyData industry by granting the right to information self-determination through the 'right to request data transmission'. Now in its third year, this study evaluates Korea's MyData system from a consumer behavior perspective and identifies issues for improvement. To this end, this study reviewed previous research on the relationship between regulatory policy and consumer behavior to determine the applicability of a consumer behavior perspective in institutional evaluation. In addition, in a study on consumer behavior related to MyData, variables that affect the use of MyData were investigated and evaluation items from a consumer behavior perspective were derived. As a result of evaluating Korea's MyData system from a consumer behavior perspective, it was found that the factors considered important by consumers were appropriately reflected in the system. However, in cases where there are dual values of ease of use and personal information protection, regulatory aspects tend to take priority. Therefore, in order to revitalize the MyData industry, it is essential to implement market-friendly system improvements without compromising consumer rights. This study is differentiated from existing studies in that it attempted to derive a plan for system improvement by combining empirical consumer behavior research and regulatory policy research.

This paper aims to examine the evolutionary dynamics of the Korea's footwear industry by adopting evolutionary perspectives. To explain the evolutionary dynamics of an industry, evolutionary perspectives have paid a particular attention to exploring a variety of factors for influencing the evolution of the industry, such as the selection and imitation of the firm, the mechanism of firm's entry and exit, technological characteristics and innovation processes. The majority of existing research tend to explain that the decline of the Korea's footwear industry since 1990 was mostly due to the rapid rising of wage and the structural changes in labor-intensive industries. On the contrary, this paper attempts to explain the decline of the Korea's footwear industry, in terms of the path of selection and imitation, the dominant technological paradigm, regulatory frameworks and the meso trajectory of industry evolution. This paper concludes that the decline of the Korea's footwear industry since 1990 was appeared as a result of the evolutionary selection processes of the firms in order to adapt to changes in the environment of competition and the regime of market selection in the global footwear industry.

The CBM(Coalbed Methane) development technology being developed in mid 1980s is the technology to produce the methane gas absorbed in the coal bed. CBM is easy to be developed and its coal deposit is abundant. Therefore, the CBM industry has a large potential as an energy source as well as to deal with the global regulations for reducing greenhouse gas emission. In order to produce coal, the CBM should first be developed as a preliminary action for mine security. So CBM is advantageous in reducing the global greenhouse gas as well as its advantage not being influenced by the changes in gas market. The ECBM (Enhanced Coalbed Methane) is a new technique producing the methane gas which is substituted and disorbed from coal by injecting $CO_2$ or $N_2$ gas into a coal bed. Especially, $CO_2$-ECMB is a low-carbon, green-growth technology, so can expect to the effect of green gas reduction as well as the improved productivity of methane gas. CBM technology is being developed in about 40 nations including Canada, Australia, China, India, Indonesia and Viet Nam, and the coal output using this technology is continually being increased. The CBM is expected to contribute in changing the energy source paradigm from current coal & petroleum energy to unconventional gas.

In response to climate change, Korea is attempting to shift the paradigm of energy and climate change policies by introducing carbon pricing based on market mechanisms. While policy adoption is proceeding at a rapid pace, the introduction of carbon pricing has been faced with great opposition from industry. This study measures to what extent Korean companies understand and accept carbon pricing, using data from a questionnaire survey covering energy consuming companies in 2012, when discussions between the government and such companies about the introduction of a domestic emission trading system were active. It further identifies how preparations and practices for carbon and energy management of companies correlate with their policy understanding and acceptance. The analysis results show that the surveyed companies indicate moderate understanding of, as well as resistance to carbon pricing policies, while appreciating the economic incentives and accepting the mandatory regulations in this phase. Companies' understanding is more related to characteristics, i.e., sector, size, etc. than external pressures. This study found that the extent to which companies understand policy is the essential factor in their policy acceptance and related practices. In particular, understanding of carbon policy significantly influences their managerial practices and voluntary activities for carbon and energy practices. This study substantiates the correlation between the level of policy understanding of a company and its carbon and energy practices - something that all countries seeking to introduce carbon pricing in response to climate change should consider prior to policy actually being implemented; in other words, enhancing the understanding of major policy subjects of the new instrument is a key policy strategy that should be elaborated as it will lead to better performance of companies and smoother policy implementation.

As the importance of R&D increases amid the paradigm of technology hegemony competition, countries around the world are increasing investment in R&D, at the same time, making effrots to portect R&D. Centering to technology-leading countries, such as Korea, the United States and Japan, they reorganize research security regulations to protect national R&D; however, the burden of compliance for researcher and research institutes is still high. Korea enacted the National R&D Innovation Act and the Enforcement Decree of the same Act to establish an integrated and systematic research security support system, but research institutes and researchers still lack understanding and practice of research security. In order to strengthen researcher's research security compliance, this study organized information requirements for each security management area through domestic and foreign research security laws and prior research analysis, and designed research security information requirements items centered on researchers. The designed information requirements are meaningful in that they were designed by considering both the management area and the stage of R&D, focusing on researchers performing R&D in the field. Based on the designed information requirements items, it is expected that systematic security management will be possible at the research site, which will ease the security burden of researchers and improve research security compliance at the research and development site.

This article aims at the legislation of User-Protection Act in area of ICT. In these days telecommunication and broadcasting are getting more and more convergent. The paradigm of ICT is turning over from the service provider to the end-user. User protection has been in each erea of ICT (C-P-N-D) individually regulated. In the area of telecommunication it is important to protect the interest of user, who stands in contract with the service provider. And in area of broadcasting it is important to protect the interest of viewers, who stands "gratis" with the broadcasters without any contracts. For the more efficient user-protection it is also necessary to make a dedicated organization under KCC(Korean Communications Committee). In this early year the government organization was divided into MSIP(Ministry of Science, ICT and future planing) and KCC. The user-protection act will be very important instrument of ICT regulation in the era of creative economy. It is necessary to establish a new frame act of user protection. It is also necessary to make start to establish a new system of user education in erea of ICT. It is strongly expected the new act will be a turning point of ICT development in Korea.

This study aimed to analyze the characteristics and problems of the quasi-market for welfare technology in the long-term care service area in South Korea. The qualitative interviews to the developers of welfare technology were conducted. The main results are as follows. First, the long-term care insurance (LTC) in South Korea has helped to create the limited amount of the effective demands for welfare equipments with low technology. Second, the systemic features of the LTC, however, have constraint the quantitative expansion as well as qualitative growth of the quasi-market for welfare technology. The low level of financial support combined with strict regulations has obstructed qualitative competition in the market. Third, they tend to develop the standardized and minimum welfare equipments for the serious needy for long-term care instead of welfare technology promoting independency of the elderly. Based on the results, this study provided the predictions for the growth of welfare technology and suggested some policy implications.

The International Maritime Organization (IMO) is tightening environmental regulations in the shipping sector to reduce air pollutants such as greenhouse gases emitted from ships. Meanwhile, the paradigm of the shipbuilding and shipping industries is shifting toward eco-friendly and high-efficiency ships worldwide. The Republic of Korea is also promoting a policy to expand the supply of eco-friendly ships from 2020 to disseminate them. In this article, a survey was conducted with 12 experts on the government's eco-friendly ship supply policy, and the priority of the policy was evaluated using the analytic hierarchy process (AHP). As a result of the comprehensive evaluation of the priorities for six priority tasks, "Securing the world's leading technology for future eco-friendly ships" for the development of carbon-free and low carbon ships was the highest. This study, which analyzed the importance of eco-friendly ship policies through AHP analysis, can be used as data to preemptively respond to international marine environmental regulations and to improve policy execution efficiency such as budget allocation and policy development regarding protecting national shipping and shipbuilding industries.

This study focuses on resetting the direction of the universities' accountability introducing the notion of accountability which is a new paradigm in the setting of records management.. First, we analyze the notion and structure of accountability, and then demonstrate the need of accountability in the university. And we try to deduce factors for accountability through cases of foreign universities. Based on this, we analyze the present status of records management of domestic universities. Based on the results of analysis, this study suggests several proposals. First, university records need to be reset. Second, regulations related to tasks in the university should be improved. Third, the function of university archives should be strengthened. Forth, the process of university records management should be reset. Fifth, in order to settle down accountability of the university in a right way, proper systems and procedures to regulate it are necessary so that the university can perform accountability properly outside the university.

본고는 다음과 같은 문제를 제기한다. 해외직접투자와 관련한 우려 중의 하나가 수출이 잘되고 있는 부문에서 해외투자가 증가하여 국내의 수출기반을 약화시킬 수 있다는 것인데, 이를 어떻게 해석할 수 있을 것인가? 이 문제에 대한 접근을 위해 본 논문에서는 우리나라 수출입(輸出入) 및 해외직접투자(海外直接投資)의 구조변화(構造變化)에 관한 분석을 시도하고 해외직접투자의 요인(要因)을 추론하였다. 근년에 해외직접투자가 급증하면서 해외직접투자의 경제적 효과에 대한 관심이 높아지고 산업공동화를 우려하는 견해도 대두되고 있다. 특히 우리 기업의 해외진출을 진출(進出)이 아닌 탈출(脫出)로 인식하기도 한다. 고임금, 고금리, 고지가, 고물류비 등 국내의 고비용 구조가 우리 기업을 해외로 몰아내고 있다는 것이다. 본고는 해외투자에 관한 이러한 시각이 우리 기업의 해외투자가 기업고유(企業固有)의 자산(資産) 또는 경쟁우위(競爭優位)를 활용 강화하기 위해 이루어지는 측면을 간과하고 있음을 지적한다. 본고는 다음과 같은 점을 강조한다. 우선 해외투자는 경쟁우위가 증가하는 부문(본고에서는 수출비중이 커지는 부문)에서 오히려 더 자주 이루어지는 경향이 있다는 것이다. 이는 절충적 패러다임에서의 소유권우위적 요소가 해외투자의 요인 및 양상을 설명하는 데 중요함을 의미한다. 우리나라의 최대 수출업종인 조립금속 기계장비부문에서의 해외투자 증가도 이러한 맥락에서 보면 아주 당연하다고 할 수 있다. 그리고 조립금속 기계장비부문의 해외투자 내용을 살펴보면 주로 보급률이 높은 중저급 성숙기제품 중심으로 해외투자가 이루어지고 고급제품은 주로 국내에서 생산되거나 선진기술습득을 위해 선진국에서 생산되고 있는 것으로 판단된다. 결과적으로 주요수출업종(主要輸出業種)에서의 해외투자(海外投資)는 오히려 당연하고 내용면에서도 국내경제(國內經濟)의 구조고도화(構造高度化)를 저해하지는 않는 것으로 판단된다. 본고는 향후 정책이 해외직접투자가 국내산업구조(國內産業構造)의 질적(質的) 고도화(高度化)에 효과적(效果的)으로 기여하는 방향으로 마련되어야 함을 강조하고 이를 위해 국내(國內) 기술기반(技術基盤)의 강화(强化), 고급인력(高級人力) 개발(開發) 등을 제안한다. 해외직접투자의 증가가 국내 고부가 직종의 증가로 이어지고 이것이 저부가 직종의 감소를 상회하도록 해야 하고, 이러한 정책이 실패하면 국내의 고용감소는 불가피하며 고용감소를 우려하여 해외직접투자를 인위적으로 규제하는 것은 고용사정을 더욱 악화시킬 뿐임을 강조한다.
