This work investigates how domestic or foreign ERP affects the relationship between risks associated ERP implementation and intention to adopt risk-mitigating options. We propose three risks such as ERP vendor risk, economic risk, and security risk should affect positively the intention to adopt the risk-mitigating options. To validate the impact of risks and to examine the difference between domestic and foreign ERP, we collected data from IT managers in small and medium sized logistics companies in South Korea using survey questionnaires. We validate the difference between domestic ERP and foreign ERP using multiple regression analyses. We find that IT managers using domestic ERP are willing to adopt risk-mitigating options for economic and security risk. In contrast, we find that IT managers using foreign ERP are willing to adopt risk-mitigating options for ERP-vendor risk. This work may provide IT managers in logistics industry a practical guideline of choosing either domestic or foreign ERP based on their risk preferences.

The purpose of the study is to investigate whether monetary and non-monetary incentives paid to exporters influence the level of compliance and tendency to behave opportunistically. As one of the most common ways to export one's products overseas is to establish relationships with foreign agents, numerous research has aimed to identify types of incentives to motivate foreign agents to bring the most efficient outcomes. Stemming from previous studies, this research hypothesizes that the type of incentives affects exporter's level of compliance, and tendency to act opportunistically which determine the level of exporter's satisfaction on foreign agency role performance. Data was collected from 196 Korean exporters, and the findings suggest that exporters should actively engage in providing non-monetary incentives to their agents to motivate importers to comply with exporter's rules. Conversely, agents tend to act more opportunistically when they receive monetary incentives only. These phenomena lead to the conclusions that the satisfaction level of foreign agency role performance is improved when non-monetary incentives are actively in place, and at the same time, foreign agent's level of compliance and opportunism play mediating roles.

1970년대 이후 중화학공업을 중심으로 산업이 발전하면서, 위험한 기계·기구를 사용하게 되었다. 더 나아가 각 산업마다 새로운 공법을 채용하면서 산업재해가 과거에 비해 더 빈번하게 나타나고, 그 피해 역시 과거에 비해 매우 광범위하게 나타났다. 특히, 유해물질을 대량으로 사용하는 산업이 다양해지고, 작업환경 역시 각 산업에 따라 다른 모습을 보이자 이에 따른 직업병의 발생이 기하급수적으로 증가하였다. 이러한 위험은 직접적으로 근로자의 생명과 건강을 해칠 뿐 아니라 사용자에게도 경제적 피해를 주게 되었다. 이러한 위험에 효율적으로 대처하기 위하여 적극적·종합적인 산업안전보건관리가 필요하게 되어 산업안전보건법이 제정되었다. 하지만 산업안전보건법이 제정된 이후에도 같은 사고가 재발하고 현장관리의 소홀, 노동환경 개선 등이 이루어지지 않으며 비슷한 사망사고가 재발하였다. 이러한 산업재해사고를 막기 위해 다양한 방법을 강구하여 왔지만 큰 실효를 보지 못하자 실질적인 효과를 보기 위해 영국의 '기업살인법'을 참고하여 사업주, 경영주, 경영책임자에게 직접적인 책임을 묻고 중대재해 예방과 일하는 사람과 시민의 생명·신체를 보호함에 있음을 분명히 하기 위해 중대재해처벌법이 제정되었다. 이러한 법률이 제정됨에 따라 재해 및 안전에 관한 관심이 전국민적으로 증가하게 되었고 과거보다 많은 관심을 받게 되었다. 그에 따라 본 연구에서는 최근 10년간에 발생한 산업, 중대재해 등에 대하여 발생 사고, 발생 원인, 발생 기간에 따라 정리하였다. 본 연구는 향후 산업, 중대재해 등에 대한 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

After the COVID-19 pandemic, a global economic downturn and a recession in the shipping market are expected, it is important for domestic shipping companies to establish appropriate strategy in response to the recession. Accordingly, domestic shipping companies should grow into integrated logistics companies that combine shipping and logistics in the future. And for this purpose, it is necessary to actively promote logistics integration with external shipping and logistics companies. This paper presents the direction of logistics integration for domestic shipping companies to develop as integrated logistics operators with competitiveness in the global shipping market, and presents detailed alternatives. Domestic shipping companies lack the infrastructure such as ships, port terminals, and warehouses, so they have a weak capacity to independently promote logistics integration. At the shipping company level, a logistics integration promotion strategy should be established, and accordingly, logistics infrastructure, service network, and logistics integration operating system should be established. The government should provide tax benefits for logistics integration, financial support for M&As led by domestic shipping companies, a standardized information sharing system, and preparation of educational courses for nurturing digital manpower.

The competence of enterprise for managing information is evaluated not by the amount of information but by the quality of information such as response time, data consistency, and data correctness. The degradation of data quality is usually caused by the inappropriate process of managing the structure and value of stored data. According to the recent survey on the actual condition of data quality management, the correctness and consistency of data appeared to be the most problematic area among the six criteria of data quality management such as correctness, consistency, availability, timeliness, accessibility, and security. Moreover, the problem was more serious in case of small and medium-sized companies than large enterprises. In this paper, therefore, we attempt to propose a new data quality control methodology for small and medium-sized companies that can improve the correctness and consistency of data without consuming too much time and cost. To adopt the proposed methodology to real application immediately, we provided some scripts for as-is analysis and devised automation tools for managing naming rules of vocabulary, terminology, and data code. Additionally, we performed case study on the distribution service of a small-sized company to estimate the applicability of our tool and methodology.

As the importance of logistics is increasing, Enterprises try to design the supply chain(SC) network to minimize the total costs considering inventory holding cost, transportation cost and apply the efficient strategies of supply chain based on SC network. Despite of this efforts, Calculating the logistics costs without reflecting the real components of logistics like the packaging cost, transportation related cost, storage cost, loading & unloading cost, and distribution costs, the companies has many limitation to calculate the logistics cost of real enterprise. For overcoming such problem, this paper is aimed at establishing SC strategies which can be an efficient alternative for a decision making on supply chain, based on existing reference and current logistics networks of 'L' company in Korea. Also, we analyze the interaction effects between strategies as well as install the optimal SC network reflecting concrete logistics components from the viewpoint of total logistics costs using the simulation and statistic methods. we expect that analysis results of this paper would be applied various industries and be utilized to the efficient tools for the decision making by planing and execution of the logistics budget from enterprises.

I think that there are few domestic enterprises that recognize standardization of logistics equipments is necessary, which causes a lot of waste in costs and also reduces their business competitiveness. The purpose of this paper is to make the companies be aware of this situation, to exactly analyze where the Korean logistics equipments status are, and further to provide practical directions of methods and activities for effective standardization. Through analysis in the study, there were some findings, as listed below. First, the standardization level of each company varies depending on its own corporate characteristics. Second, if a company adopted standardization process in logistics equipments, it would accelerate process of work efficiency or productivity. Third, when logistics equipment are standardized, it would boost efficiency in storage utilization. Fourth, the delivery services through this standardized logistics would be implemented at a higher speed than before due to the accelerated flow of materials. According to the above findings, it is confirmed that logistics standardization would greatly affect on business performance positively. For the domestic manufactures to facilitate logistics system more easily, as an easiest way, it is required to build logistics standardization teams and surveys. Then afterwards, to achieve it earlier than expected, the company-wide education and training for workers have to be followed to let them be aware of necessity and inevitability about standardized logistics.

Due to technological development in the globalized food system, quantitative problems of food supply have been solved, but food risks have expanded from problems in specific regions to global problems. In order to maximize the efficiency of agricultural production, the growth in agricultural production system, procirement of raw materials, establishment of food processing processes and establishment of food supply chain systems are required. Control of hazards requires facility and administrative efforts. In this study, we examined the role of CSR in conjunction with food safety. Food SCM is related to food safety and correlates with the food supply chain. In terms of the triple bottom line theory, CSR is correlated with SCM and it is possible to pursue food safety through corporate CSR and SCM. In this study, it is statistically confirmed that SCM and CSR are in a positive relationship. In the impact of CSR on food safety, it has been confirmed that economic responsibility and legal responsibility take precedence over environmental responsibility and social responsibility. Based on this, we can achieve food safety through SCM and CSR, and we can decide which of CSR activities can be prioritized.
