This study uses various methods, including media analysis, expert interviews, and large-scale surveys, to derive notable digital business trends in 2023. Most trend studies have yet to deal with digital business trends in Korea. They also often have limitations in the objectivity of the results using unclear methods. On the other hand, this study emphasizes the validity of the results by collecting opinions from Korean digital business experts in various fields. First, Korean IT news articles were collected and analyzed through topic modeling analysis. Then, based on the results, interviews were conducted with 13 academic and industrial experts to derive 16 IT business trend candidates. Then, a survey was conducted on 210 experts to finalize the list of Korean IT business trends. Finally, to compare overseas and domestic views, we conducted an additional survey using the items developed by the Society for Information Management, SIM. This study is meaningful in that it drew prospects for digital business trends in consideration of the domestic business environment by scientifically converging various opinions of Korean digital business leaders. Our study contributes to developing strategies for IT technology and IT service business markets.

In a global software development project, knowledge transfer between a corporate headquarter and offshore development sites is considered to be important for effective software development. This article presents empirical research that investigates factors influencing knowledge transfer in global software development. The factors evaluated in this study are: 1) quality of communication infrastructure, 2) quality of partnership and 3) types of governance mechanism. Questionnaires were collected from offshore development sites in Mauritius. While the quality of both the partnership and communication infrastructure were found to be determinants to knowledge transfer, hierarchical governance had a negative impact on knowledge transfer. Although the results are similar to the previous studies done within an organizational boundary, implications of the results are far different due to the geographical distance among offshore locations. Future research is called for to investigate the relationships between governance type and knowledge transfer.

Recent studies shows that international entrepreneurship orientation is recognized as a very important tool for improving corporate performance in international business activities. However, these relationships show various research results. Therefore, it can be a very interesting research topic to examine whether these relationships are linear or non-linear when selected as a target in developing country like China. The purpose of this study is to examine whether the effects of international entrepreneurship orientation on the export performance is non-liner type in China's manufacturing firms. And investigated the moderating role of degree of internationalization and market dynamism relative to the relationship between the international entrepreneurial-orientation and the export performance. A total of 478 questionnaires were used for the hypothesis test. The results of this study are summarized as follows: First, there is a J-shaped. relationship between international entrepreneurship orientation and export performance. Second, degree of Internationalization strengthened the reverse J-shaped relationship between international entrepreneurship orientation and export performance. Finally, degree of internationalization and market dynamics show that J-shaped relationship between international entrepreneurial orientation and export performance is strengthened. The results of the study's theoretical contribution and the managerial contribution is as followed. As a theoretical contribution, it is confirmed that international entrepreneurial orientation (J-shaped) and export performance form a non-linear relationship, and it is possible to make an empirical contribution that can newly approach the relationship between international entrepreneurial orientation and export performance. The managerial contribution suggests that China's exporting companies have a higher degree of Internationalization in their international business activities and that the higher the dynamics of the overseas markets, the more advanced the international entrepreneurial behavior should be required to improve the export performance.

Recently, many companies improving their management performance by building a powerful brand value which is recognized for trademark rights. However, as growing up the size of online commerce market, the infringement of trademark rights is increasing. According to various studies and reports, cases of foreign and domestic companies infringing on their trademark rights are increased. As the manpower and the cost required for the protection of trademark are enormous, small and medium enterprises(SMEs) could not conduct preliminary investigations to protect their trademark rights. Besides, due to the trademark image search service does not exist, many domestic companies have a problem that investigating huge amounts of trademarks manually when conducting preliminary investigations to protect their rights of trademark. Therefore, we develop an intelligent similar trademark search model to reduce the manpower and cost for preliminary investigation. To measure the performance of the model which is developed in this study, test data selected by intellectual property experts was used, and the performance of ResNet V1 101 was the highest. The significance of this study is as follows. The experimental results empirically demonstrate that the image classification algorithm shows high performance not only object recognition but also image retrieval. Since the model that developed in this study was learned through actual trademark image data, it is expected that it can be applied in the real industrial environment.

This research tries to present the role of Jung, which is well known as Koreans' traditional emotional attachment in service recovery process. Prior research on the service recovery have focused on relationship among perceived justice, recovery satisfaction and forgiveness. Especially perceived justice including distributive, procedural, and interactional justice has addressed as most important antecedents of recovery satisfaction. Although the pivotal role of emotional factors for successful service recovery has agreed by many researchers, relatively little attention has been paid to this issue. During the service recovery process, even if customer perceived recovery effort from service provider as justice one, they might feel displeasure or dissatisfaction. It means prior researches have underestimated the importance of emotional aspect, especially for Korean perspectives. In this study, we examined customer reactions to service failure and recovery process in restaurant service settings. Specifically, we focused on the moderating effect of 'Jung' on the paths between perceived justice and outcome variables such as forgiveness and recovery satisfaction.

경제의 패러다임이 지식의 확산과 공유가 경제 성장의 주요한 요소로 대두되는 지식기반경제로 변화하게 되고, 융합 기술(fusion technology)의 중요성에 대한 인식으로부터 학제간(inter-disciplinary) 연구나 기술개발이 활발해지면서, 각 산업이 타산업과 맺고 있는 특정한 연계구조에 대한 분석은 정부의 기술정책이나 기업의 기술전략 수립에 필수적인 것으로 받아들여지고 있다. 특히 산업간 지식흐름의 구조를 파악하는 것은 산업간 협력(collaboration)의 형태나 파급효과에 대한 분석뿐만 아니라 기술 혁신을 촉진하기위한 혁신 클러스터(innovative cluster) 형성의 기초를 제공하는 것이라 하겠다. 따라서 본 연구는 기술집약적 장비에 체화된 유형자원의 간접적 지식 확산이 아닌, 특허 인용의 명백한 지식 흐름을 활용하여 한국 제조업의 지식 흐름 구조를 분석하고 이를 토대로 클러스터를 나누는 것을 목적으로 한다. 이를 위하여 특허 인용 정보가 존재하는 미국특허청(USPTO)의 자료를 이용하며, 여기에서 도출된 한국 특허의 인용관계를 통해 한국 제조업의 네트워크 및 클러스터를 생성하였다. 즉, 특허 분류를 산업 분류에 매칭(matching)시킴으로써, 특허의 인용관계를 각 특허가 속한 산업간의 지식흐름으로 변환하여 산업간 연계 구조를 파악하고 이를 토대로 한국 산업의 지식 클러스터를 생성함으로써 클러스터간 지식 흐름을 분석하고, 각 클러스터의 기술적 특성을 제시하였다. 본 연구는 한국 산업의 지식흐름을 미국특허청에 출원된 한국 특허를 활용하여 분석했다는 점에서 제기될 수 있는 해외 기술 시장으로의 전략적 차원의 출원에 의한 자료의 편중성문제와 지식흐름의 절대량이 아닌 상대량을 통해 클러스터링함으로써 발생될 수 있는 자료 활용의 한계점을 지니고 있다. 그러나 비체화 지식의 흐름을 특허인용관계를 통해 실증적으로 분석하고, 이를 통해 클러스터를 나누어 산업간 연계구조와 기간에 따른 변화 양상을 조명하며, 각 클러스터의 특성을 다양한 지표(indicators)로부터 설명했다는 데에서 의의를 찾을 수 있다. 본 연구의 결과는 기술혁신을 위한 국가 차원의 산업정책이나 기술개발과 관련한 기업의 기술전략에 활용될 수 있을 것이다.
