The purpose of this paper is to explore the determining factors of foreign direct investment(FDI) of Korea by using institutioanl theory. In addition, this study divides institutional facts into the formal and the informal institutions. The empirical test implements multiful regression analysis focuing on korean electronics and automotive industry. The dependent variables are FDI outflow and the independent ones are corruption, econimic freedom, political risk, human development, and culturan distance. According to the empirical results, corruptin and human development have positive effects on Korean FDI outflow. On the other hand, political risks and economic freedom have negative effects on Korean FDI outflow. This results indicate the importance of forman and informal institutional facotrs as determinants of Korean FDI outflow.

This study first analyzes economical environment change (factor) of investment nation Japan and Japanese enterprise at the analysis of Japanese enterprise's over-seas expansion factor and influence. As a result of an analysis of the factor about Japanese enterprise's overseas expansion from 1990 to 1996 and from 1998 to 2006, commonly applied factors were Yen exchange rate, interest rates, wage, enterprise profit, facility investment, and consumption expenditure. Especially, as a result of regression analysis, a sudden change of "low interest rate" was main factor at Japanese enterprise's overseas expansion from 1990 to 1996, and Japan's "Yen ex-change rate" was drawn as an important factor from 1998 to 2006. That is, from 1990 to 1996, a shock by a sudden rise in Yen value could be viewed gradually accumulated and absorbed inside Japanese economy from 1998 to 2006. Whereas it could be said that Japanese enterprise's overseas expansion was accelerated under Japanese government's overseas supporting policy and "low interest rate" together with the factor in the rise of Yen value from 1998 to 2006.

This would be a fundamental research to develop a curriculum for librarians based on their career paths, aiming to achieve a higher level of specialization in educational courses of library and information science in South Korea. The area of career paths is the public librarian, academic librarians and special librarians. In order to adopt the librarians' perspectives, the research analyzed the survey results of librarians regarding the practicability of courses in library and information science. The research also used the existing data on job analysis for different type of libraries for the analysis. In order to adopt educational perspectives, the research analyzed the curriculums for different career paths, which are presented in the websites of the 3 universities in Korea and 6 other oversea universities in the U.S.A and Canada. As the result, career paths for different type of libraries are suggested based on the analysis of the data.

This study suggests a way through Hong Kong as an alternative strategy for Korean companies to enter Chinese service market which is rapidly expanding due to China's recent policy switch toward service economy. Service market is generally more regulated, labor-intensive, and domestic demand-oriented than goods market, which makes opening of domestic markets to foreigners slow. In case of China, market control and regulations by the State is tighter than other economies. Therefore, it is important to find ways to avoid regulations from the Chinese government if possible. In this sense, this study investigates the China-Hong Kong CEPA and draws its strategic value for entering Chinese service market by comparing it with the Korea-China FTA service sector. In addition, utilizing the difference in tax agreements between Korea-China and China-Hong Kong, and the human network of Hong Kong entrepreneurs in China may play an important role in reducing the risk that might arise in China.

This study analyzed the spatiotemporal evolution of Korean multinational corporations' (MNCs') foreign direct investment (FDI) networks from 1978 to 2023, focusing on Samsung Electronics and LG Electronics. Using data on the consolidated overseas subsidiaries of these two companies, a two-mode network was constructed to examine the status of host countries through the betweenness centrality index and to identify types of countries with similar value chain arrangements by investigating their linkage structures. The main findings are as follows. First, during the early phase of Korean electronics MNCs' overseas expansion in the 1980s, they primarily established sales bases in developed consumer markets. However, over time, they gradually expanded into other business areas, including manufacturing, producer services, and R&D, increasing complexity in their FDI networks as cross-border mergers and acquisitions (M&As) became more frequent. Second, the United States has remained central to these MNCs' FDI networks since the 1980s, but more recently, China has emerged as a significant hub, challenging the U.S. in global value chains. Third, emerging Asian economies, including India, Vietnam, and Indonesia, have strengthened their positions due to the diversification of MNCs' investment objectives from manufacturing bases to a broader range of business areas. Finally, since the 2010s, the convergence of the electronics industry with the automotive electronics sector and new industries has led to a diversification of the value chain arrangements of Korean electronics MNCs.

In order to expand the market of the domestic space information industry, which is currently saturated, overseas expansion is essential, but the prospects are limited. Therefore, an effective strategy of overseas expansion is needed. Given the current state of such spatial information industry, V-World is expected to play a very important role. In the world market for space information, in order to ensure the export competitiveness of the domestic space information industry, in the present study, research and development was carried out on the V-World-based packaged goods model as one possible method. First of all, to analyze the current situation and characteristics of the spatial information industry, to grasp V-World as a commodity and derive the relationship between foreign demand and V-World, the sales destinations and methods were defined. To formulate the basic strategy of the fusion-composite package export utilizing V-World on the basis of the basic concept of the product, the necessary components were designed. In response to this fusion-composite package product mix, the overseas promotion of spatial information-related companies it to be expected.

전자정부 표준프레임워크는 공공부문 정보화 사업을 위해서 개발 보급되었으나, 최근 민간부문으로 확대 적용되면서 정부차원의 강제성 없이 자발적으로 오픈 플랫폼 생태계로 진화하기 시작하였다. 또한 전자정부 표준프레임워크는 세계 전자정부 1위의 대한민국에서의 성공적인 안착에 힘입어 개발 도상국을 중심으로 해외로도 확산 조짐을 보이고 있다. 본고에서는 최근 내수 시장의 한계 및 국내 SW 산업 정책이 중소기업 중심으로 이루어지면서 대형 IT서비스 기업들의 해외진출 전략이 공격적으로 전환되고 있는 시점에서 전자정부 표준프레임워크를 중심으로 국내 기업의 장점을 살리면서 단점을 극복할 수 있는 성공 전략에 대해 알아본다.

월성 원자력발전소와 같은 중수로에 쓰이는 개량 핵연료(CANFLEX)가 새로이 개발돼, 중수로형 원자력발전소의 안전성은 물론 경제성을 크게 향상시키게 되었다. 한국원자력연구소와 캐나다원자력공사는 최근 천연 우라늄을 사용하는 개량 핵연료(CANFLEX-NU)와 순환 우라늄을 사용하는 고연소도 핵연료(CANFLEX-RU)의 공동 개발에 대한 협정을 체결하였다. 이를 통해 우리 나라는 중국$\cdot$아르헨티나$\cdot$터키 등 중수로 발전소 건설을 추진중인 제3국 핵연료 시장에 단독 진출할 수 있는 교두보를 마련하였다. 개량 핵연료를 노후되는 기존 중수로 원전에 사용할 경우 향후 10년간 약 400억 원의 비용절감효과가 예상된다. 한국원자력연구소 중수로핵연료개발팀(팀장 석호천 박사)이 캐나다원자력공사와 공동 개발한 중수로용 개량 핵연료의 개발 경위 등을 알아본다.

지난 6월과 7월, 중국 위해시 전기민 신문출판국 국장(인쇄협회장 겸임)을 단장으로 하는 투자유치단이 대한인쇄문화협회를 두 차례나 연거푸 방문했다. 그들은 한국의 인쇄시설과 기술 발전에 놀랐다면서 위해시에 조성중인 인쇄공단에 한국 인쇄업체들이 진출해 주길 간곡히 요청했다. 그리고 위해시에 조성중인 인쇄공단을 보여 주겠다며 기자를 정식 초청했다. 체재비용 일체를 부담하겠다는 조건도 달았다. 그동안 우리나라에 특별히 알려진 바 없는 위해시에 대단위 인쇄공단이 조성되고 한국 인쇄업체를 유치하겠다는 그들의 발상에 다소 의아한 생각이 들기도 했지만 전기민 단장을 비롯한 투자유치단의 설명이 워낙 진지해 보여 현장 취재를 해 보기로 결심했다.

무선랜의 장점은 무엇보다 말 그대로의 선이 사라진다는 점에 많은 이들에게 매력이 있다. 즉 사무실이나 공장등 제한된 공간안에서 사용하는 랜을 무선화 한다는 것이다. 무선랜 장비는 일종의 기지국 구실을 하는 무선접속장치와 컴퓨터에 꽂는 무선랜 카드 등 두가지로 나눌수 있다. 무선 접속장치는 기존의 유선망과 유선으로 연결돼 있으며, 한대 당 실내의 경우 30-50m, 실외는 200m내에서 13-20명이 동시에 데이터 서비스를 받을수 있다. 이러한 무선랜 시대를 개화 시켜준 것은 무엇보다 대학을 중심으로 하는 무선랜 시장의 성공에 고무된 통신사업자들의 시장진출에서 기인한다.
