In this study, the influence of the CEOs' characteristics on the technology innovation performances of IT venture companies was analyzed. The relation between business performance and the characteristics of CEOs has been dealt with in earlier studies, but most paid attention to financial perspective, and few of these focused on the influence of managers on technology innovation. On the other hand, most of the studies related to the role of managers in technology innovation mainly focused on R&D investment and research infrastructure but did not delve on the characteristics of them in an in-depth way. In this study, the characteristics of CEOs and their technology innovation performances were empirically analyzed based on the results of a recently conducted survey on the IT venture companies. In the analytical aspect, a negative binominal model was applied to solve the over-dispersion problem that often appears in the count variable analysis. As a result, it was found that major, work type, and work experience, among managers' characteristics, have significant influences on managers' technology innovation performances, along with the company's innovation capacity, technological competitiveness, market competition, and support from the government.

While the e-commerce market in Southeast Asia is growing, this study aims to derive factors for establishing an entry strategy for the Cambodian e-commerce market where Korean logistics companies can strategically enter in the future. Cambodia is a country where growth and growth potential in the e-commerce market is steadily increasing based on the high youth population ratio, high smartphone penetration rate, the introduction of convenient payment systems, and government-level e-commerce promotion policies. In this study, Korean logistics companies established detailed promotion strategies by deriving factors necessary for Cambodia's entry into the e-commerce market and analyzing their relative importance. The AHP analysis technique derived three top factors for the entry strategy, and each presented four sub-factors. As a result, the importance was shown in the order of 'Market Factor' (0.556), 'Policy and Institutional Factor' (0.295), and 'Corporate Competency Factor' (0.149). As a result of the sub-factors analysis, the importance was found in the order of "Characteristics and Growth Potential of Distribution Channel" (0.230), "Purchasing Power and Awareness Level of Consumers" (0.176), "Cambodia Government's E-commerce Policy and Institutional Support" (0.122), and "Cambodia Government's Logistics Infrastructure Plan" (0.108). In both the upper and lower factors, the characteristics and growth potential of the Cambodian e-commerce market were important, indicating that Korean logistics companies value market size and growth potential to enter the Cambodian e-commerce market. The results of this study can be used as a guideline to help Korean logistics companies make successful inroads into Cambodia, where the e-commerce market is expected to grow in the future.

The purpose of the study was to examine cooperative education between industry and school recognized by tentatively called managers of cooperative education, teachers in charge of cooperative education between industry and school, in vocational high school in Incheon Area. In order to accomplish the study purpose, the study conducted a research through questionnaire and examined their recognition for cooperative education between industry and school focusing on curriculum (purpose and content), operational system including supporting system (establishment and operational level) and educational type (process, effectiveness, problems and reinforcing measures). The study conducted a survey using Likert 5 score scale and analyzed the survey results using technical statistics such as frequency, average, standard deviation, etc. From the comprehensive results from the survey, it was found that although outcomes from industry-school cooperation are relatively high, participation is insufficient and intermediating organizations connecting concerned parties and mediating them are not enough because recognition and will of interested parties of industry-school cooperation are not sufficient. In addition, policies, legal and systematical and financial infrastructure for activation and efficiency of industry-school cooperation are not established perfectly, therefore, there are a lot of things to be improvement in operation. In particular, it was observed that establishment of internal organization and infrastructure for the number of workers in vocational training organizations are decisively inadequate.

In recent time, rural-studying programs have emerged as an alternative to promoting exchange between urban and rural areas. The purpose of this research will be to take a look at such exchange activities through the study of cases involving rural areas using its human and material resources. The research will also consider the implications resulting from the possibility of its application in Korea. According to a Japan's rural-studying program, there was a whole family participation and there was cooperation between the school, village and the local government. There are some domestic places that applied this program, but only a few are successfully being implemented. To increase the possibility of successful application, building network systems between rural-studying schools will be vital. So will be the building of critical infrastructure to induce the return to farming and the establishment of assistance institutions. Also, visible assistance towards farms in rural area and conversion of recognition upon exchange activities between urban and rural will be necessary. Legislation of rural-studying program, establishment of local government assistance ordinance and continual education to local inhabitants will be central to the role of central and local government.

Uiwang ICD, which is the only inland container depot in the capital area, is equipped with modern facilities, and loading and unloading equipment, and can handle 1,000,000 TEU annually.It has many advantages such as advantageous conditions of location, the role of foothold for distribution transportation in the capital area, so it plays an important role of vitalizing the railroad transport. However, Uiwang ICD has reached the limit in the vitalization of railroad transport of containerized cargo due to the current problems in facilities and operations. This research analyzed the Uiwang ICD's problems by dividing them into facilities problems and operational problems, and presented short-term and medium and long-term improvement measures with the year 2023 when the private use permission expires as the basic year. However, the vitalization of railroad transport of Uiwang ICD can be attained only when it has support and cooperation from the government, Uiwang-si, Korea Rail Network Authority, and other related organizations together with efforts of Korea Railroad Corporation, and occupant companies. Such improvement measures for Uiwang ICD are expected to contribute to establishing combined transport system and forming efficient railroad distribution infrastructures and vitalizing railroad distribution, and also contribute to the government's low-carbon green growth policy by building environment-friendly transport system.

지식경제부의 발표에 따르면, 세계 SW/IT융합 시장은 2010년 1.2조 달러에서 2015년 2조 달러, 2020년에는 3.6조 달러에 이르러 연평균 11.8%로 성장할 것으로 전망되고 있으며, 같은 기간 동안 세계경제성장률이 3~4%인 점을 감안한다면 이는 상당히 높은 성장률이라고 할 수 있다. 이러한 추세에 맞추어 세계 각국은 빠르게 확산되고 있는 SW융합 환경에서 자국의 경쟁력을 높이기 위해 정책적으로 많은 노력을 기울이고 있으며, IT인프라의 확산 및 고도화를 통해 정보 지식기반의 사회로의 발전을 꾀하고 있다. 국내에서도 SW기업의 성장기반 확대 조성 및 시장 환경 개선을 위해, 2010년 2월 제45차 비상경제대책회의에서 범부처 차원의 SW산업 육성방안을 담은 'SW 강국 도약전략'을 수립하여, 국내 SW산업의 체질을 개선하고, SW분야의 신시장 창출을 위한 SW 산업 생태계 재편, SW 융합 수요 창출, SW 인재양성, SW 기술역량 제고 등 4대 핵심전략과 12개 정책 과제를 제시하였다. 그러나 국내의 SW산업분야에 대한 정책적인 지원 투자는 약 10년을 넘은 수준으로, 상대적으로 초기수준인 SW산업의 글로벌 경쟁력 확보를 위한 체계적이고 전략적인 지원이 필요하다. 특히, 지역기반의 SW산업은 서울 및 수도권에 비하여 사업체의 수, 생산액 등 모든 면에서 열세이므로 지역의 경제 및 산업에 있어서 SW산업의 중요성을 재인식하고 이에 따른 발전전략을 추진할 필요가 크다고 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 그동안의 지역 SW산업 지원 사업의 문제점과 지역 SW산업의 기반 현황 및 여건분석에 해당하는 지역적 특성, IT SW 산업의 시장 규모, IT SW 산업의 GRDP 비중 및 기여도, IT SW 산업의 사업체 수 및 종사자 수, 국내 산업단지 현황, IT SW 산업의 가치사슬, 지역 지원정책 등 다양한 변수들을 고려하여, 정부의 광역경제권발전전략의 핵심인 지역별 선도산업을 중심으로 한 SW융합사업으로서 시너지 창출이 가능한 지역발전전략을 수립하고자 한다. 또한, 국내외 SW산업의 정책 및 성공사례를 조사, 분석하여 SW산업 육성을 위한 지역발전정책의 방향성을 도출하여 광역경제권 수요기반의 신규 정책 및 제안을 통해 선택과 집중에 의한 지역 SW산업 육성 전략을 수립하고자 한다.

This paper aims to identify the role of local governments in building regional innovation system. The central government has recently decided to support the promotion of innovation capacities of local innovators and innovation networks among thor The central government forces local governments to establish the council for regional innovation in order to implement these goals. Meanwhile, there is no consensus about the way in which the council for regional innovations constitute and operate. I think it is the time for us to talk about this seriously. It is widely conceived that local governments in Korea have still been hierarchical. Thus, they would be difficult to make the decision effectively on regional innovation and development initiatives. In this context, I suggest that the regional innovation promoting agency needs to take authorities to secure transparency and autonomy in planning, implementing, evaluating regional innovation initiatives. The local government no! ed to play a central role in establishing the agency. However, the local government should not try to intervene and control its operations.

This study analyzed the important factors in service quality for public usage of national R&D facilities and equipments, and, using those factors, performed the importance-performance analysis for several national R&D programs in order to examine what service quality factors should be concentrically improved in each programs. Additionally, the in-depth interview with program managers and R&D facility experts was performed to realize the managerial issues subject to the characteristics of programs regarding the national R&D public facility management. As the results, this study made some political suggestions such as the reformation of promoter's role regarding the formulation of the government policy to support those programs. For example, it is more suitable for colleges as the subject of programs to be invested for self-research purpose rather than public usage, for independent corporation to be centered on the more general and common production fields, and for the government R&D agencies on the leading and special technical fields.

Mongolia is a developing country with a smaller population living across a large territory where infrastructure is underdeveloped. The country has been actively implementing road construction in recent years. The Mongolian government has increased investments in new road construction, but funding for major maintenance or reconstruction projects declined between 2012 and 2016. On the other hand, road network management has not been implemented owing to insufficient road maintenance and If the road network expands, there is a risk that the cost of overall maintenance will increase significantly in the future. Therefore, in order to cope with these problems, this study reviewed applying Korean road model to Mongolia for systematic management of road infrastructure.

This study analyzed Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR hereafter) of construction companies, especially focusing on small-medium companies. Surveys on construction companies' CSR activities and intensive interview with experts were executed to analyze and draw some implications. The empirical results shows that most of construction companies feel keenly necessity of CSR. The level of small-medium companies' awareness is lower than that of large companies'. CEO and board members of small-medium companies are less concerned about CSR yet. Carrying CSR activities co-working with NGO is preferred because of expertise and network. This study also suggests future strategy for CSR in the construction industry, focusing on small-medium companies. First of all it is necessary for small-medium companies to enhance the level of awareness and encourage participation in CSR. Second, it is required to strengthen relation with NGO and share information for CSR. Third, it is really significant to strengthen budget support and secure personnel to activate CSR. The systematic support by gevernment is also important. Lastly, it is essential to mount a publicity campaign and develop various CSR program. The role of 'Construction Industry Foundation for Social Responsibility' is emphasized because small-medium companies have very little room for CSR.
