This study is focused on traditional market's competitiveness in Korea. Ever since the Korean retail industry had been opened to the big conglomerates, the traditional markets have faced very serious competition from various types of distribution channels. In particular, this study has been conducted to find another way to help the Korean traditional market from the perspective of college students who are consumers of the future. This study examines the relationships among store choice attributions, consumption emotion, consumer's value, and relationship quality from the perspective of college students. In order to verify the relationship, and moderating and mediating effects, data were collected from 126 college students in Whasung, Gyeonggi Province to test the theoretical model and its hypotheses. The results of this study are as follows: First, service (= .263, p < .01) and advertising (= .188, p < .05) are significantly positively related to relationship quality. However, store atmosphere (= .176, p = .052) is not statistically significantly related to relationship quality. The result that students have stereotypes about the atmosphere of traditional markets and are therefore excluded from their store choice attributions can be expected. Second, college students selected service division (= .230, p < .05) as the most important factor among the traditional market's store choice attributions. This result reflected that enhancing service strategy would strengthen the traditional market against discount stores. The process of product selection by customers in discount stores is based on the concept of self-service. However, traditional market traders can make various contacts with their customers. If traditional market traders can enhance various service factors just like in the process of product selection, it will effect strong competitive advantages. Third, it is also revealed that consumer's value exhibit complete mediation effect in the relationships between service and advertising. These results showed that traditional markets must be considered for consumer value. Because previous studies showed that values refer to "enduring belief that … specific mode of conduct or end-stat of existence … personally or socially preferable to an opposite of converse mode of conduct or end-state of existence" (Rokeach, 1973; George and Jones, 1996). Furthermore, Schwartz (1994) defined values as desirable trans-situational goals, varying in importance, that serve as guiding principles in the life of a person or other social entity. As conceptions of desirable end-states of existence or modes of conduct, values help people choose, evaluate, and give meaning to their experiences (Rokeach, 1973). Efforts (e.g. promote the consumers value) of the traditional market traders will improve the preferences for the traditional market of consumers and college students. Implications and future research directions are also discussed.

The objectives of this study were to explore food-related lifestyle segments of the older consumers, to identify its socio-demographic characteristics, and to investigate the differences in variables regarding health beliefs. A survey was conducted of adults 55 years of age and older living in Seoul, South Korea from March 28 to April 10, 2007. Out of the 500 distributed questionnaires, 361 were retained for final analysis: a response rate of 72.2%. As a result of cluster analysis, five consumer segments were identified; health-managing group, diet-unconcerned group, convenience-oriented group, taste-oriented group, unpracticed group. Significant differences were found among the five segments in terms of socio-demographic characteristics and variables regarding health beliefs (i.e., perceived self-efficacy, perceived barriers, perceived benefits). In the health-managing group and taste-oriented group, mean scores of perceived self-efficacy (p<0.001) and perceived benefits (p<0.001) were significantly higher than other groups. However, in the diet-unconcerned group and convenience-oriented group, the mean scores of perceived barriers (p<0.01) were significantly high. This study shows that foodservice operators targeting the older consumers should consider characteristics of each segment to develop a customized program.

현재 태양전지 시장은 결정질 태양전지가 주류를 차지하고 있으며 이중 상대적으로 재료비가 저렴한 다결정 실리콘 기반의 고효율 태양전지 제작에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 이에 본 실험에서는 표면 텍스처링 방법에 따른 태양전지 소자의 특성 변화에 대한 실험을 진행하였다. 일반적으로 다결정 태양전지의 경우 산성용액을 이용한 표면 텍스처링을 실시하는데 이 경우 표면에 형성된 텍스처 구조는 산성용액의 등방성 식각으로 인해 반구(Hemisphere) 형태의 구조를 띄게 된다. 이는 표면에서의 광흡수율을 떨어뜨려 태양전지 소자의 효율을 저해하는 원인이 된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 다결정 실리콘 태양전지의 효율 향상을 위해 레이저를 이용한 차세대 텍스처링 방법에 대한 연구를 진행하였다. 우선 355 nm 파장의 Ultra-Violet (UV) 레이저를 소자 표면에 조사함으로써 $10{\mu}m$의 dot diameter와 depth를 갖는 honey comb 배열의 hole을 형성하였다. 이후 산성용액에 담가 레이저 공정 후의 slag를 제거해 최종적으로 피라미드 형태의 구조를 형성하였다. Suns_Voc 효율 측정 결과 산성용액을 이용한 텍스처링의 경우 개방 전압이 611 mV, 곡선인자가 81%, 효율이 17.32%로 각각 측정되었다. 반면, 레이저 텍스처링의 경우에서는 개방전압이 631 mV, 곡선인자가 83%, 효율이 18.33%로 용액 텍스처링 방법보다 우수한 특성을 보였다. 이는 UV 레이저 텍스처링을 통해 형성된 피라미드 형태의 표면 구조에서의 광흡수율이 산성용액을 이용한 방법보다 우수함을 말하며, 따라서 태양전지의 주요 파라미터가 향상된 결과를 보였다. 본 실험에서는 레이저 텍스처링을 통한 태양전지 제작에 대한 방법을 제시하며, 향후 고효율의 다결정 태양전지 제작에 있어 기여 할 것으로 판단된다.

영국지방정부 노사관계는 중앙집권적인 구도 속에도 개별 지방정부 차원에서의 자율이 허용되는 일종의 조정된 분권화의 모습을 보였다. 하지만 1980년대부터의 시장메커니즘의 도입 이후 일부 지방정부는 중앙의 현실인식부족을 강조하면서 중앙차원의 교섭구도에서 탈피하게 된다. 1997년의 교섭구도의 통합화 이후 보다 조정된 형태로의 변화를 기대했으나, 지부차원에서의 교섭자율화는 그대로 유지되었다. 하지만 중앙교섭의 영향력은 여전히 건재하며 이러한 측면에서 우리는 일종의 중앙과 지방의 상호결합이 나타나고 있다고 정의할 수 있다. 그동안 축적된 조직력과 경험이 이를 가능하게 했다고 보여진다. 또 다른 변화는 노사 파트너십의 도입인데 노동조합도 자신들의 입지 약화를 인정하면서 이러한 변화에 대해 긍정적인 입장이고, 더 이상 과거와 같은 대립적인 관계는 자신들에게 유리할 것이 없다는 인식이 확산되는 상황에서 점차적으로 파트너십의 관행이 영국 내 자리 잡을 것으로 기대된다. 여전히 중앙의 영향력이 있기는 하지만 분권화와 같은 변화는 현장 차원에서의 파트너십을 용이하게 할 수 있는 제도이기 때문이다. 결국 지방정부의 노사관계는 기존의 고도의 현대화의 하나인 제도적인 형태에서 철저한 성과압력 및 하위단계로의 권한 위임 등을 동반한 고도의 온정적인 모습 그리고 고도의 현대화의 또 다른 형태이자 보다 유연한 모습인 협의에 근거한 일종의 파트너십 등이 동시에 사용되어지는 다양하고 복잡한 모습으로 변해가고 있다고 정의할 수 있다.

Yuhan Kimberly, a joint-venture company of Korean Yuhan Company and American Kimberly-Clark, opened a premium diaper market in Korea by launching Pull-Ups which was pants-typed diapers in 1993. Pull-Ups was imported as finished goods from Kimberly-Clark. However, in spite of its huge market share in United States, it failed to land down in Korean market because of wrong positioning strategy which did not consider domestic customers' tastes. In 1996, Yuhan-Kimberly brought out a pants-typed diaper, Huggies-Toddler, to Korean market again. This paved the way for the combination of Kimberly-Clark's production power and Yuhan-Kimberly's marketing power and led to launch new product superior to Pull-Ups. However, this product was unsuccessful in the market because of wrong positioning which did not catch domestic customer's life styles such as cultural, environmental and habitual differences in toilet training, the cost increase coming from IMF crisis in Korea, weak trust within the company, weak trust within the company, and too much higher price than regular diapers. In 2005, Yuhan-Kimberly redeveloped new pants market business strategy. It was organically combined with winning product development plan, winning communication strategy and the market structure change through the pants market creation. Customer's habit, usage and attitude were studied with total 55 times market investigations. Also, all processes from planning to designing were executed in the customer's view by investigating product research, positioning research and advertisement research. Yuhan-Kimberly repositioned new product as a wearing diaper not as a toilet training diaper and launched Huggies Magic Panty as a premium product which had 25% higher price than previous Huggies. Huggies Magic Panty was recognized as a great hit product in domestic diaper market and the sales recorded 37.6 bill won in 2006, 57.2 bill won in 2007, and 90 bill won in 2008 since launching in 2005. The reason of Huggies Magic Panty's success was the repositioning strategy deduced from the precise check of customer's usage habit. It was the winning strategy of Huggies that were market investigation in order to survive in domestic baby goods market where a lot of companies struggled intensively, the exact positioning based on its market investigation and aggressive 360 degree communication strategy to give customers impressions efficiently.

항공사의 외국인 소유는 이것으로 인하여 전체 항공운송 시스템이 변화될 수 있는 핵심적인 개념이다. 작금 항공운송산업을 둘러싼 환경은 급격하게 변화하고 있어서 많은 국가들이 항공사의 외국인 소유와 관련한 기존의 법제나 정책변경을 심각하게 고려하기 시작하였다. 항공기 및 항공사의 국적과 관련한 전통적인 개념은 양자사이에 '진정한' 또는 '효파적인' 관계가 있어야 한다는 것이다. 특별히 항공사의 '실질적인 및 효과적인 통제'조항은 양자 및 다자간 항공운송 협정에서 가장 핵심적인 역할을 해오고 있다. 그러나 변화의 바람이 거세게 일고 있다. 항공운송산업에서 이러한 변화는 미국에서 시작되고 미국의 국제항공관계에 적용되고 있는 규제완화에서 비롯되었다. 미국의 규제완화정책은 합병 및 흡수를 통한 항공사의 집중이라는 결과를 가져와서 항공운송 시장은 궁극적으로 소수의 거대 항공사에 의해 지배될 것이라는 우려를 낳고 있다. 이러한 새로운 추세에 대응하여 많은 국가틀이 다양한 형태의 지역협력체를 형성하고 있다. (예, EC, 아세안, 안데안 그룹, 야마스크로 선언 등) 또한 다수 국가들은 정치.경제적인 이웃에서 정부의 소유주식을 외국인 및 외국회사를 포함한 민간부문에 매각함으로써 사유.사영화를 추진하고 있다. 한편 제조업 분야에서 다국적기업 (IBM, 코카콜라 등)은 별 어력움이 없이 성립될 수 있다. GATT의 주관하에 열리고 있는 우루과이 협상에 참여하고 있는 국가들은 최혜국 대우, 내국인 대우, 시장접근 같은 상품교역의 개념및 원리를 항공운송서비스를 포함한 서비스교역에 적용하는데 기본적으로 합의하였다. 급격히 변화하는 환경에서 항공운송 산업만이 국가의 영공 주권, 항공사의 공익기업 개념, 상업적 이익의 균형교환 같은 자기류의 논리에 집착하여 언제까지나 홀로 고립될 수는 없을 것이다. 더구나 세계 항공운송 산업은 1980년 후반부터 큰 시련에 직면해 있다. 몇몇을 제외한 대부분의 항공사는 세계경제의 불황속에서 초과공급 및 운임전쟁으로 인한 엄청난 적자를 기록하고 있다. 모든점을 미루어볼 때 세계의 항공사들은 과거 어느 때보다도 외국인 투자를 필요로 하고 있으며 항공사가 속해 있는 정부는 외국인 소유에 관한 법제를 개정하고 나아가 전체 항공운송시스템을 개편하도록 압력을 받고 있다. 많은 국가에서 외국인 소유에 관한 법규의 개정은 현존 항공운송 시스템에 다각적인 영향을 가져올 것이다. 다시말하면 양자협상, 반독점및 경쟁볍규의 적용, 고용 및 카보타지등을 포함한 제반분야가 영향을 받을 것이다. 결국 외국인 소유에 관한 법제의 완화는 항공사의 세계화 또는 다국적화의 과정을 촉진시킬 것이고, 항공사간 다양한 형태의 제휴가 이러한 방향에서 계속될 것이다.
