Domestric Construction & Engineering market has been long in recession due to the global economic crisis. Domestic construction industries consequently looks at overseas construction markets where relatively more construction projects are constantly required. In order to provide meaningful information for Korean engineering companies to keep the pace with the changes in the construction industry, various construction related date and statistics are analyzed. In addition, previous research from the related organizations and construction engineering companies are closely reviewed. Investigation of preliminary data and research have been conducted to draw remedies for their overseas expansion. Moreover, it is attempted to classify foreign markets as the Asia, Africa and etc. (Europe, North America/the Pacific and Latin America) to provide the list of first target countries and its regional market information focusing on their bidding system. This study had tried to show comparative analysis of different bidding procedures between Korea and the selected countries to suggest measures of improvements for the domestic bidding system. Finally, this study suggested policy recommendations to meet the requirement of bid qualification to advance the global market that was suggested with validated clustering bidding data.

An index was developed for analyzing the promising countries for seawater desalination plant and related data sets were collected and analyzed. Each indicators was standardized by scale readjustment method and Delphi method was used to calculate the weights for indicators from questionnaire survey by experts in seawater desalination plant field. Twenty three indicators were selected and they were classified into three groups, economic, social, and environmental indicator groups. Eleven countries (Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait, Iran, Qatar, China, Singapore, India, Algeria, Turkey, United States) were selected considering present data availability and index for each country was calculated. The results show United States and China took the first (0.537) and second (0.490) place for the most promising country for seawater desalination plant. However it will not be easy to play a significant role in the markets because of present seawater desalination technology level and national policy, etc. Saudi Arabia took the third (0.329) place and other countries which has more than 0.2 index value can be considered as a promising countries for seawater desalination plant. We can establish a strategy to export our seawater desalination technology and plant using the result of this study. The developed index can be applied to other countries, which were not included in this study, when their data is available.

베트남은 캄보디아, 태국, 버마, 말레이시아 등 주변 시장으로 쉽게 진출할 수 있는 거점지역으로서의 중요성을 가지며, 세계적인 컨설팅사인 AT Kearney사는 2009년 평가에서 5위로 전 세계 185개 국가 중에서 2020년까지 아시아의 유망시장으로 평가하고 있다. 평가는 인구, 소득, 시장잠재력, 위험, 유통침투 지수 등을 기초로 AT Kearney사가 개발한 소매유통산업개발지수(General Retail Development Index)에 따른 것으로 베트남은 2008년 1월, 2009년 5위 등 상위권을 지키고 있다. 또한 2010년 기준 8,700만명의 인구대국으로, 30대 이하 인구비중이 56%로 상대적으로 높아 소비자 인적구성 측면에서 성장가능성이 크며, GDP의 70%를 내부소비가 점유하고 있고, 소비여력이 큰 44세~55세 인구가 높은 비중이 높아 홍삼시장의 성장가능성이 크다. 홍삼제품은 도시 중심의 500개 소매점과 3,000개의 약국을 통해 유통되고 있고, 홈쇼핑과 인터넷 쇼핑몰 등 신규유통을 통해서도 유통이 활발해 지는 등 나름대로 유통체계가 구축되고 있으나, 소비자 인식부족과 물류시스템 등 유통 시스템의 미흡으로 본격적으로 성숙기 시장으로 진입하지 못하고 있다. 따라서 소비자와 유통 특성을 고려하여 시장에 진출한다면 성공적인 진입이 예상되나, 미국 등 다른 선진국들도 투자를 강화하고 있어 조만간 성숙기 시장으로 진입할 것으로 예상된다.

This paper proposes a new strategy for assisting SMEs in S. Korea to grow by the use of free technologies, which include expired patents, patents that are effective in other countries but not in S. Korea, and technologies that were published without being patented. A key question answered in this paper is how to find valuable technologies developed by large companies that can be utilized by domestic SMEs. A procedure for identifying emerging free technologies was developed and is explained with an example. A quantitative analysis of technology trend was conducted on PCT's published patents that did not include S. Korea as a designated country, and then emerging IPC subclasses were identified. Among those emerging technology areas, the subclass areas where the number of Korean inventors is small were identified as key emerging free technology areas. Our method for identifying emerging free technologies can assist domestic SMEs to advance in the international market and guide the development of a national industrial strategy.

최근 격변하고 있는 국제해운동정을 볼 때 정치적 측면에서 흔히 남북문제로 일컬어지고 있는 선후진국간을 치열한 경쟁문제, 공산국상선대의 활발한 진출, 각국의 자국선 보호주의의 강화문 제등이 산적해 있으며 선대절약형 경제성있는 선박으로 전환되고 있으며 대체에너지 개발에 따른 LNG, LPG,석탄전용선이 유망분야로 지목되어 선진해운국들은 서서히 이 분야로 선대편성을 시도하고 있는 점등, 국제해운환경은 복잡다난한 양상을 띄고 있는 것이다. 이러한 추세하에 1979년 제 2차 석유파동이후 격심한 불황속에 있는 해운계의 실정으로 미루어 이에 대처하기란 용이한 과제가 아닌 것이다. 여기에 정부와 업계가 혼연일체가 되어 국제경쟁력제고를 위한 제 발전전략이 적극 검토 추진되어야 함은 물론이고 우리의 목표가 기필코 달성되어 민족의 번영과 복지국가건립의 소망이 성취되기를 회원 여러분과 함께 기대하는 바이다.

This article explores the international trade flow of Bangladesh's ready-made garments (RMG). We first suggest the brief history and an international structure of trade among countries by using the trade volume. Then we implemented a gravity model regression with the sample of 38 major partner countries in order to investigate the potential export market for the RMG industry. The fixed effect and random effect model for the panel data during the period of 1990 to 2011 are estimated. Our result shows that Bangladesh's RMG exports are affected positively by the size of economy, inflation, exchange rate, foreign direct investment(FDI) and trade openness. On the other hand, the distance between trading partners are related negatively with the trade volume. We used the estimated coefficients from the panel regression in order to predict RMG export potential of Bangladesh. This might show which country is the promising export market for Bangladesh RMG industry. We found that Bangladesh has the highest potential of RMG export with Japan and USA, which seem to have considerable room for export growth if trade barriers and constraints are removed. We added some policy implications for encouraging the RMG export of Bangladesh by using the results from the analysis.

This paper investigates the causal impact of the increase in institutional distance between two geographic regions on the flow of cross-border Venture Capital (VC) between the regions. While cross-border VCs are believed to have competitive advantages at identifying and managing promising startups in a local market compared to local counterparts, the discrepancy in institutional characteristics between two markets exacerbates the difficulty of credible information exchange and negotiation, significantly increasing transaction cost related to a cross-border venture capital investment. This study conducts a difference-in-difference analysis to examine the relationship between institutional distance and the flow of cross-border VC investment using the fact that the official adoption of the Euro currency by member countries of the European Union except the UK created an institutional chasm between the UK and other EU member countries. The outcomes of the analysis suggests that UK-based VCs significantly decreased the VC investment into EU-based startups and that EU-based VCs reduced the investment into UK-based startups. The results have meaningful implications for understanding the impact of the change in institutional difference on cross-border VC investment, which seems to increasingly take place with the recent trend of de-globalization and the rise of protectionism.

Along with a general growth in living standards there has been a corresponding increase in the demand for tourism. Cruise based tourism, in particular, has become one of the most dynamic and dramatic growth sectors in the tourism industry over the last 20 years, including in the Northeast Asian region. In line with the growth of passenger numbers, the number of cruise ships and their berth capacities has increased significantly since the late 1970s. Korea, as a peninsular nation, has also experienced a rapid growth in cruise passenger numbers. The national economy has greatly benefited from this as the industry acts as an income generator, creating new jobs and potential investments and in developing local tourism. Ports play an important role in the development of any national cruise industry, providing not only ship berths but supply and bunkering facilities and a gateway to local tourism opportunities. The selection of the optimal cruise port location is an important and complex problem because the decision makers have to consider a large number of criteria which have a significant effect on the economy, environment, human life, and society. This paper investigates those criteria that are significant in developing a successful cruise port by employing a questionnaire survey of major cruise port users - shipping companies and tourism companies. The ports, surveyed in this study are Busan, Incheon, Yeosu and Jeju. All have been identified as important potential cruise ports in the Korean Government's 'The 3rd Port Basic Plan (2011-2020)'.
