As many countries in the world including the Republic of Korea have used all their national resources in the accelerating economic information warfare, illegal leakage of industrial technologies and information has increased rapidly. The costs required for damage prevention from 2007 to 2008 are estimated at approximately KRW 180 trillion which is expected to increase gradually in future. Because the tricks of leaking key technologies are also getting increasingly systematized, sophisticated and bigger, e.g., simple theft at the individual level or the conspiracy of all the staff taking part in the research activities, we should pay special attention to technology security in addition to technology development. While there are several factors affecting such the brain drain, they usually include personal, social, political and cultural factors, for instance, very heavy educational expenditure of children compared to relatively low pay, the speedy labor market circulation for experienced personnel, or political restrictions on researches. In this context, as part of efforts made to prevent the outflow of core personnel, individual companies and research institutes should establish systematically appropriate core personnel management systems for their own organizational or business goals and principles which are intented to ensure to give better treatment and benefit to core personnel and to exercise closer supervision over them. Furthermore, the conventional personnel management system should be radically and flexibly improved in the manner of encouraging the core personnel returning to the organization to combine their external experiences with practices, instead of penalizing them. At the same time, it is necessary to train and educate core personnel through mutual collaboration and in-house training facilities as well as external academic programs operated jointly at the level of the industry. Finally, as the issues concerning the outflow of core personnel are not just problems of relevant companies and other advanced countries have devoted their best efforts to secure their own key technologies at the national level, it is urgent for the industry and the competent authorities to cooperate closely.

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.

North Korea(NK) has designated the special economic zones(SEZs) since the first one in Rason. But, why have the SEZs in NK still not been developed successfully? This study comparatively evaluated the SEZs in China, Vietnam and NK, with respect to 'context/purpose', 'development/management system', and 'location/infrastructure.' NK's strategies for the SEZs were different from those of China and Vietnam in terms of historical context and development purpose. China and Vietnam chose the market opening policy aiming to reform their national economy, while NK tried the opening policy without the economic reform. This difference made NK's decentralization and location strategies marginal. In spite of the positive land system and tax benefit of NK, the strategies couldn't make a successful result. The implications of this comparative study are as follows. Firstly, NK needs to establish a strategy for the SEZs in accord with the comprehensive and long-term plan for economic development and 'trustworthy and substantial market-systems' being compatible with outside world. For that, NK has to secure the regime stability in political and diplomatic dimensions. Secondly, NK has to carry out policies of decentralization and location of the SEZs more positively. Thirdly, in order to solve the problem related to lack of infrastructure capital, NK needs to utilize a BOT scheme.

It is noted that nowadays, the bride wealth custom takes an extremely distorted form in African society. Such a phenomenon is a result that the male-dominant culture, Western religions, and capitalist economic system have been negatively combined into dynamic factors seen as bride wealth. This means that the concept of bride wealth has been incessantly reconstructed in the middle of clash and conflict of tradition and modernity. There is also little doubt that the practice is inextricably tangled with the common and current ways of livelihood, early marriage, polygyny, kinship/family structure, poverty, and migration labor. Bride wealth has become an increasingly commercialized element under a capitalist economic system. Accordingly, its traditional symbolism is seen to be subsequently weakening, whereas a tendency towards the reification of women is strengthening more in modern society that embraces modern customs bent on the protection of women's human rights. Its commercialization has produced a result, which instigates the noted violations of women's basic human rights, gender inequality, and promotion of domestic violence. The ways that people perceive bride wealth vary according to their own sex, generation, stratification, and ethnic background. Those people who negatively recognize bride wealth will increase with the deepening of its commercialization due to the influence of capitalism. Its color and effect will deepen and depend on how its agents correspond to socioeconomic changes. They will constantly reinterpret and reconstruct it within their own environments, but the basic human rights efforts are constantly under review by concerned individuals seeking to promote equality for women as a global effort.

The vicious cycle of over-education has been made. That is, higher education enrollment rate is high, but university graduate employment rate is low. To eliminate this cycle and relieve youth unemployment and young people to enter the labor market early, dual education and training system is needed. This dual system can support working and learning in parallel. So, worker can get the opportunity pre-employment and post-learning and improve his/her job skills. Recent MOOC (Massive Open On-line Course), a new form of online education system, has emerged. MOOC combines education, entertainment and social networking, and emphasize the interaction between faculty and student and between students. The educational contents of MOOC are available free of charge. Using newly changed online education environments we can effectively provide knowledge and skills. In technology and engineering education hands-on training is necessary. In order to support work based learning dual system for worker to work and learn in parallel, we should build the multi-learning system to combine the online education and campus hands-on practice.

해외투자로 인해 수출 및 고용이 감소할 것이라는 우려가 있다. 본고는 이론적, 통계적, 실증적 분석을 통하여 이에 관한 논의를 하고 향후 전망과 함께 정책적 시사점을 도출하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 본고의 분석결과 및 투자제도 개선방향을 요약하면 다음과 같다. 해외투자가 아직까지 수출을 대체하였다는 근거는 없다. 향후 국내부품업체의 현지동반진출 확대, 해외자회사의 역할 증대, 국제분업생산체제의 진전 등 해외투자전략의 변화에 따라 해외투자가 수출을 대체할 가능성을 배제할 수 없으나 해외투자의 제한시에는 수출 및 고용에 더욱 악영향을 줄 수 있다. 해외투자를 제한하는 것은 예상되는 실업을 단지 연기시키는 것에 불과하며, 오히려 향후 실업문제가 훨씬 심각해질 수 있다. 해외투자는 기업의 경쟁력 유지 및 구조조정을 위해서는 타대안보다 고용안정에 기여할 수 있다. 또한 과도한 해외투자가 기업 및 국내경제에 미칠 악영향을 우려하여 해외투자를 규제하는 것도 설득력이 약하다. 정부가 해외투자의 과도성 여부를 판달할 능력이 기업보다 우월하다고 할 수 없다. 설령 해외투자 결정이 비합리적으로 이루어질 가능성이 있다 하더라도, 이 문제는 투자기업 및 여신은행 등의 책임을 분명히 하여 기업은 투자성과의 책임을 지고, 여신은행, 채권자 등은 투자기업의 재무현황 및 투자계획의 성공가능성을 고려하여 자금제공을 하도록 유도해야 한다. 따라서 일부 대규모 해외투자에 대한 사전심의로 대표되는 현행규제는 철폐되어야 한다. 일부 대규모 해외투자의 적정성 여부를 판단하기 위해 운용되고 있는 해외투자 심의는 실효성이 없을 뿐만 아니라 신속한 해외투자결정을 방해할 수 있다. 중장기적인 관점에서 해외투자로 인한 국제분업을 국내고용 및 수출의 증가뿐만 아니라 경제성장으로 연결시키기 위해서는 국내의 입지여건을 혁신활동 및 고부가가치 활동에 적합하도록 개선해 나갈 필요가 있다. 한편 단기적 고용감소에 대비한 정책도 필요한데, 고육훈련제도의 개선, 노동시장의 유연성 제고, 고용서비스 개선은 이런 마찰을 완화하는데 기여할 것이다.

This is a study related to CI and BI, focusing on the change of an organization: a corporation. The organization of a corporation, in order to achieve the goal of an organization, get the injection(labor, technology, resources) and send it out to society by transforming them into a form of products(goods and services). While this production means the organization plays a social part for the accomplishment of a goal of the society, it indicates the society exerts influence on the process of setting the goal of an organization. On the other hand, a society influences the existence of a corporation through need and change directly or indirectly and in order to adjust to this, a corporation adapt the form of the organization to the need and change of a society. This study presents the causes of change from CI to BI according to the organizational changes of a corporation and theoretical basis through Elbin Toefler's "The Adaptive Corporation".

This study aims to make an analysis of the innovation milieu in connection with the agricultural products and distribution system, and suggest policy alternatives for agricultural development and rural community. The decisions on the agricultural management are highly depend on the individual farm household' conditions(labor force or profits) rather than the crop units(JAKMOKBAN) or others. The partnerships of the innovation agents and trust between the individual farm households are considerably weak. From this paper, we suggest as follows to improve the regional agricultural industry and rural community development. The individual farm households need to convert market-oriented production system. And it is more important to enhance the innovation milieu than to enlarge physical infrastructure for agricultural development and rural community.
