본 연구는 최근 국내 SI 기업의 활발한 해외시장 진출과 관련하여 일반적인 IT 서비스의 성질을 도출해 고객의 구매결정을 방해하는 요인을 찾아내고 이를 해결하기에 적합한 시장진출유형을 제시하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 또한 거래비용 관점에서 SI 기업에게 가장 효율적인 진출유형이 무엇인지를 도출하는 것이다. IT 서비스는 구매계약이 체결된 이후에 생산이 시작되므로 일단 사용해 본 후에야 품질평가가 가능한 경험적 성질을 갖는다. 따라서 해당 SI 기업과의 사업경험이 없는 고객은 구매 전에 IT 서비스의 품질을 평가할 수 없기 때문에 구매에 대한 높은 불확실성을 인식하게 되고 이것은 구매결정을 방해하는 요인으로 작용한다. 이러한 문제는 SI 기업이 새로이 해외시장에 진출할 때 현지에서 명성과 신뢰를 쌓고 있는 기업과의 합작투자를 통해 해결될 수 있다. 왜냐하면 이럴 경우 IT 서비스와 관련해서는 아직 사업경험이 없다고 할지라도 현지 기업의 명성이나 신뢰, 또는 기존의 돈독한 사업관계를 통해 SI 기업이 자신을 속이거나 배반하지 않을 것이라는 기본적인 믿음을 통해 고객의 불확실성을 감소시킬 수 있기 때문이다. 또한 시장거래비용과 관리적 거래비용 측면에서 순수 자회사 설립보다는 현지 시장 및 고객환경에 밝은 현지 기업과의 합작회사 설립을 통해 진출하는 것이 보다 효율적이다. 이와는 달리 최근 국내 대형 SI 기업의 해외진출 현황을 살펴보면 자회사 설립을 통한 진출을 선호하는 것으로 나타났는데 이것은 이들이 속한 그룹사들이 많은 해외시장 경험을 통해 해당 시장환경에 익숙하기 때문에 현지 기업의 도움 없이도 시장개척이나 고객확보가 가능하다고 판단했기 때문이라고 해석된다. 본 연구결과는 특히 해외시장 경험이 아직 부족한 국내 SI 기업들이 해외시장에 진출할 때 유용한 자료로 활용될 수 있다.

Existing studies have argued that, compared to the 1990s, the Japanese foreign direct investment (FDI) in the 2000s became multi-faceted in terms of investment motivation, ownership structure and entry mode, and diversification strategy. We have conducted a cross-sectional analysis and compared our results with the recent findings. We have found that the Japanese FDI in the mid 2000s became globally focused and regionally diversified. Ownership strategy and entry mode of the Japanese FDI in the Asian countries shows a remarkable shift from joint venture to wholly-owned subsidiary. In contrast, the preference of greenfield investments was observed consistently across regions. It seems that, after the Asian financial crisis, the Japanese firms began to re-optimize global FDI strategy and to regionally differentiate investments.

With the number of social overhead capital(SOC) projects that introduce private capital on the rise, overseas construction global companies today need to establish and advance their overseas order strategies. In this context, the purpose of this study is to develop the public private partnership(PPP) capacity evaluation model for developing countries and use it for domestic overseas construction companies to establish strategies for overseas expansion. The PPP competency evaluation model analyzes the importance of PPP competency evaluation items and infrastructure environment competency evaluation items through a review of previous studies and an interview survey with overseas construction experts. Through the above analysis results and expert surveys, problems that may occur when overseas construction companies enter the PPP market were derived, and improvement measures were proposed. Countries with a high probability of overseas construction companies entering the PPP market were determined to be those that have a mature PPP system, low risk in construction, and a good entry environment with a high infrastructure market size and growth rate. In addition, a lack of PPP investment experience, the absence of information on the infrastructure environment, and a shortage of PPP experts were identified as problems when entering the overseas construction PPP market. As an improvement measure, it was suggested to enter in cooperation with domestic and foreign companies. In addition, a plan was proposed to develop a curriculum to secure experts in areas such as PPP finance and contracts and to provide PPP information for each country. These findings are expected to contribute to overseas construction companies proposing strategies for entering the overseas construction market and using them for overseas expansion strategies and policy establishment.

Global semiconductor companies is investing enormous capital worldwide. And direct investment in China is increasing greatly these days, Especially, global semiconductor companies are setting up a factory in China due to expanding market rather than utilizing low labor cost. Therefore, this study is trying to analyze the background and process of direct investment from global Korean and Taiwanese semiconductor companies in China. Firstly, In 1996, Samsung semiconductor established a back end process factory in Suzhou. And in 2014, Samsung semiconductor set up a front and back end factory in Xian. Secondly, In 2006, SK Hynix built a front and back end factory in Wuxi. and SK Hynix set up a back end factory named Hitech semiconductor with Chinese company in 2009. Later in 2015, SK Hynix established a back end factory in Chongqing. Thirdly, In 2004, TSMC started to operate a factory in Shanghai, and in 2018, TSMC is going to establish a factory in Nanjing. Lastly, UMC bought a stock to produce product in Chinese local company named HJT, and at the end of 2016, UMC is going to finish building a factory in Xiamen. As a result, it was proved that most companies hoped to expand the chinese market by setting up a factory in china. In addition, Samsung expected to avoid a risk by setting up a factory in china, and SK Hynix wanted to avoid a countervailing duty by setting up a factory in china. Based on the result of this study, this study indicates some implications for other semiconductor companies which are very helpful for their future foreign direct investment.
