This study is based on the survey data of 74 Korean multinational corporations, which undertook foreign direct investments from 1980 to 1996. The study examined the firm-specific as well as the host country-specific factors affecting the decision between shared and full ownership. According to the results of this study, as for the firm-specific factors, Korean firms entering foreign markets in order to penetrate local markets prefer shared ownership while those pursuing core business diversification prefer full ownership. As for the host country factors, the more advanced the host country(such as OECD countries) is, the more preference is given to full ownership.

The promotion of economic exchange and cooperation between North and South Korea is significant in two ways. First, the pursuit of economic interest can lead gradually to the unification of the national economies. Second, economic relations can serve as the first stride toward political reunification. There are, however, many difficulties in conceiving a strategy for economic cooperation between North and South Korea because of their differences in ideology and socio-economic system. Under these circumstances, a bid by either the North or the South to consider its specific ideology or socio-economic system absolute and to impose them on the other side would inevitably lead to confrontation and collision and deepen the division of the country. Therefore, steps to expand and develop economic and technological cooperation and comprehensive exchanges between the North and the South, with due regard to the development of bilateral relations, are in full accord with the interests of the both sides. It is clear that North Korea's changing attitude toward its environmental conditions is neither a policy of opening nor an ideological shift toward pragmatism, as has occurred in the Eastern European countries. Instead, it is a temporary tactic for breaking out of the economic stagnation caused by its rigid economic structure. In this light, we must.

The international marine system was plunged into the age of divided occupation with the adoption of the United Nations Convention on Law of the Sea in April, 1982. The exclusive economic zone of 200 Nautical miles set up by the Convention confirms the assertions of many coastal states whose fishing industries are not well-developed. However, it is unfavorable to the countries whose fisheries are being carried on in deep-sea, because the coastal state has sovereign rights to conserve and manage living resources in it. Under the circumstances the Korean deep-sea fisheries had to find ways out of the difficulties. The ways may be divided into two ways, namely, licensed fishing and joint-venture fishing. The former type becomes unfavorable to foveign fisheries because of decreasing quarts, rising fees and remunerations. The latter type properly meets the wishes of countries concerned and has some merits. However, there is a possibility of bearing the risk in case of investment in developing countries. The insurance system is effective to make up for the loss from the risk, although not perfect. The deep-sea fisheries depressed now by accumulated difficulties need more financial support from the Goverment for the active promotion of overseas joint-venture.

정부는 지역의 내생적인 역량을 바탕으로 지역혁신을 활성화하기 위하여 지역별로 연구개발특구 제도를 시행하고 있다. 연구개발특구내 각종 세제혜택과 정책적인 지원을 받는 연구소기업 제도는 지역혁신활성화를 위해 새롭게 등장한 혁신액터이다. 그러나, 이러한 연구소기업의 모형에 대한 연구는 체계적으로 이루어지지 않고 있으며, 대부분의 기업혁신활동에 대한 연구는 수도권과 대전 중심으로 이루어졌다. 본 연구에서는 기업대표를 대상으로 우수 연구소기업 모형 선정을 위한 요소들을 선정하고 AHP(계층적 분석기법)을 통하여 우수 모형을 선정하였다. 그 결과, 우수한 연구소기업 모형을 선정하는 데 가장 중요한 요인은 기술요인으로 나타났으며, 그 중 기술의 우수성을 최우선적으로 선택하였다. 또한, 세가지 연구소기업 모형 중, 합작투자형을 가장 선호하는 것으로 조사되었다. 본 연구는 지역을 기반으로 체계적인 우수 연구소기업 모형을 선정하는 시스템을 확립하고 정책적 시사점을 도출하는 성과를 거두었으며, 특히 제2의 도시임에도 불구하고 혁신클러스터 논의에서 소외된 부산지역을 중심으로 본 연구가 진행된 것에 큰 의미가 있다. 향후 설문범위와 숫자를 확대한다면 더 좋은 정책적 의미를 거둘 수 있을 것으로 보인다. 향후 연구소기업의 모형에 따른 장단점 분석과 함께 지역에서의 기술혁신활동에 대한 연구가 더욱 증가되어야 할 것이다.

현재의 우리나라 SI 관련 산업은 IT 산업의 핵심을 차지하고 국내 산업을 주도할 전략 사업으로 그 중요성이 부각되고 있으며, IT 산업의 경쟁력을 강화하는데 SI 산업의 대내외 위상이 커지고 있다. 2002년도 SI시장 규모는 전년대비 15%정도 성장한 9.5조원을 형성할 것으로 예상된다. 올해는 SI사업부문 매출액 등을 전년대비 해볼 때 국내 SI사업 시장이 호전되었지만, 해외 SI사업 시장 상황은 여전히 어려운 것으로 나타나고 있다. 그 타개책으로 국내 SI 업체의 자본 및 기술의 합작제휴가 많아지고 있으며 그 중 자본 제휴보다는 중점적으로 기술 제휴를 하고 있지만, 기술 제휴 한계는 기술 이전이나 기술 확보가 되지 않는 것이다. 기술개발이 무한경쟁의 시대에서 살아 남기 위하여 어느 때 보다 더 필수 불가결의 수단이 되고 있어 기술개발을 위하여 SI 기업들이 R&D 투자와 운용에 회사의 사활을 걸고 있으며, R&D현황은 이전에 비해 단순히 양적인 측면을 떠나 질적인 부문에도 많은 변화가 일고 있다. 이것은 기술개발이 SI 시장의 흐름을 간파하거나 리드할 수 있는지가 주요 개발요인으로 작용하고 있기 때문으로 SI산업에서의 R&D 현황 등을 검토하여 국내 SI산업의 발전뿐만 아니라 해외시장의 참여에 기여 할 수 있도록 R&D 활성화 방안을 제안하고자 한다.

This research examines the effect of the relatedness and the gap between Resources and mechanisms on effectiveness of inter-organizational knowledge transfer. According to the literature, there has been a competing theory between two claims; one is that inter-organizational knowledge transfer will be more effective due to the reduction of the transaction cost as the relatedness increases. And the other is that the mutual complementarity of different organizational characteristics will increase synergy. In total, the relatedness and the gap of the Resource and mechanism makes the inverted U-shaped relationship with the inter-organizational knowledge transfer. As the result of empirical analysis about 109 Korean-based Joint Ventures entered country, it shows that the relatedness of parent company's production Resources, learning mechanisms, and coordination mechanisms made the inverted U-shaped relations with the inter-organizational knowledge transfer and the gap of production Resources and adjustment mechanism formed the same relationship. However, the U-shaped relationship has been established in the relatedness of market Resources, but the gap of market Resources and the learning mechanism was not statistically significant. Through this study, I can draw a best conclusion that the inter-organizational knowledge transfer will be more effective when the relatedness and the gap of management resources and mechanisms is in optimal level. However, when it comes to market Resources, it can be inferred that the result could be the opposite because the partner country's market environment would be different.

The purpose of this study is to empirically analyze the effect of cultural distance between partner firms on international joint venture performance, focusing on the moderating effects of the conflict resolution techniques and the competitive relationship between partner firms. We tested hypotheses based on joint venture firms that were surveyed which formed by equity investment between Korean and foreign firms in the manufacturing industry. The empirical analysis results of this study are as follows. First, in international joint ventures, the cultural distance between partner firms was found to have a negative effect on the international joint venture performance, and the higher the cultural distance, the lower the joint venture performance. Second, it was found that constructive conflict resolution techniques weaken the negative impact of the cultural distance between partner firms in international joint ventures on the performance of international joint ventures. Third, competitive relationship between international joint venture partners showed no moderating effect on the relationship between cultural distance and international joint venture performance.

Myanmar had fallen behind other southeast asian nations since Burmese way to Socialism settled down. However, historically second election in Myanmar hold in 2011 and dramatic changes in areas such as Special Economic Zone announcement, the very huge inflows of foreign direct investment in a year of 2009, the infrastructure building projects, a permit of the right to strike for Labour Organization in Myanmar etc. Particularly, Foreign investments and trade with neighbouring countries are actively growing and also with Korea. But investments of Korea in Myanmar relatively are not diversity, with limited sectors such as mining and sewing manufacturing. In this point of view, this paper is trying to make implications for strategies of entry and investments of Korea in Myanmar by using previous papers related to Myanmar economies, trade and foreign investments with updated statistical data. The implications for Korea is that recently Myanmar economy is in its early stages of development. Although it can occur huge demand of railway, road, communications and constructions related to social infrastructures essentially needed for development of a country, these sectors relatively need huge investments. On the other hands, textile and sewing industry relatively need smaller investments in which investors can utilize low labour cost and a position for export to third countries. But those firms which set up for those purpose in Myanmar might have trouble creating domestic markets in future. Moreover, due to demand which occur in the early stage of growth in Myanmar, trade volume tend to increase and trading is also possible to invest but Myanmar still have lots of problems with infrastructure such as road and logistics and we need to make pre-survey for the costs and benefits of our products Finally, Myanmar government is trying to promote and encourage some of industries such as export-oriented industry, import substitution industry and labour-intensive industry. It can also means they will accumulate capital which can be sources for Myanmar economic growth.
