The global intelligent transport systems (ITS) market is experiencing rapid growth, and domestic ITS companies' efforts to extend its business abroad are steadily increasing. However, due to the burden of costs associated with the overseas expansion and the lack of strategy for local market, domestic companies' contracts for global businesses are far short of the technology. Although the government is actively promoting Korean enterprises' participation to overseas business, it has obvious limits due to the lack of its specialized strategy. This study established a customized export model for the countries in which Korean companies want to enter, and developed a strategy to advance into the local market.

GWI(2019)에 따르면, 2020년 기준 세계 물시장은 약 996조 원(8,034억 $) 규모로 추정되며, 2024년까지 연평균 3.4%대의 성장을 기록할 것으로 전망된다. 이에 선진 국가를 비롯 글로벌 기업들은 물시장의 선점을 위하여 경주한지 오래이며, 우리 정부는 2000년을 기점으로 물산업 육성관점에서 해외시장 진출을 강조하고 있다. 하지만 국내 기업의 해외시장 진출을 위해서는 무엇보다 중점 육성 분야 및 타겟시장 등의 선정이 필요한데, 이를 위한 분석적 정보는 찾아보기 어렵다. 이에 본 연구는 데이터 기반의 물시장 현황 및 전망을 분석·제공함으로써, 물기업의 중점 육성분야 및 타겟시장 선정에 도움을 제공하고자 하였다. 분석 결과는 ① 사업별 물시장 ② 제품별 물시장, ③ 지역별 물시장으로 구분하였으며, 시장 유형은 자본투자와 운영시장으로 구분하였다.

Using a panel data set covering 19 Korean manufacturing sectors for the period 2009-2015, this paper investigates the extent to which industry characteristics affect the mode of entering foreign markets. The estimation results across various specifications show that firms prefer affiliate sales to export as firm heterogeneity increases, implying positive effects of productivity regarding foreign relative to domestic operations. The motive for overseas production is reinforced as economies of scale at the plant level decrease and economies of scale at the corporate level increase.

The purpose of this study is to identity the relationship between CAGE distance and Korean foreign subsidiaries' social responsibility, which is divided into responsive and strategic activities. The hypothesis is that CAGE distance has positive relationships with subsidiaries' social responsibility to overcome local liabilities of foreignness and acquire social legitimacy. The key findings are as follows. Firstly, culture distance has positive significant impacts on subsidiaries' social responsibility activities. It especially has positive influences on strategic CSR. Secondly, administration distance has no impacts on subsidiaries' social responsibility. Thirdly, geographic distance also has positive impacts on subsidiaries' social responsibility activities, especially on responsive CSR. Lastly, economic distance has significantly negative effects on social responsibility. This empirical study identifies the relationships between cross national distance and subsidiaries' social responsibility. Culture and geographic distance has positive influences on subsidiaries' social responsibility. Market seeking subsidiaries group shows more positive relationship between culture distance and social responsibility activities, which means that foreign subsidiaries would engage in social responsibility activities for strategic purpose.

Due to various reasons (normally financial constraints in developing countries), it becomes common to change of the business model from state-run projects to Private Investment Projects (Public Private Partnership) in the global railway businesses. However, due to the nature of railroads compared with other types of infrastructure such as roads and others, railway business require considerable construction cost and O&M cost through the business development, construction, and operation and management stages. Therefore, private investment railway projects, especially in developing countries, can be problematic in terms of the potential for uncertainty when return on investment cannot be guaranteed. In order to strengthen the competitiveness of domestic companies when entering overseas railroad PPP projects, this study proposes PPP-related risks and their countermeasures by reviewing global railroad trends and identifying Korea's weakness in managing international railroad projects.

Construction companies do not take necessary steps for sudden change in the Construction market, In order to over come the problem, it is necessary to make Corporate Strategy through correct Market analysis. If construction companies want to secure continuance profits, they must prepare proper strategy to advance into plant market. This research performs both external and internal environment analysis, External environment analysis is for overseas construction market and advanced foreign companies, and internal environment analysis is the current status of domestic companies. The research identifies some of the Key points, growth in foreign plant market is huge, but domestic companies do not have abundant construction experience on the same field and also they lack in high value-added techniques. They are far behind the advanced companies; they don't have proper skills of Procurement, engineering and project management. This study suggests a strategy for domestic companies to take necessary step to advance into plant construction market.

This paper aims to analyze the effects of external uncertainty on the entry modes decision of multinational firms. On the basic assumption that the entry modes of the firms are dependent on ex-ante or ex-post perceived risk, we empirically analyzed the impacts of perceived risk factors on the investment patterns of firms. We found that the larger the population, the higher the level of GDP per capita, and the larger the trade volume as a ratio of GDP resulted in increased M&A FDI and greenfield FDI. The economic growth rate variables were found to be significantly positive effect on only greenfield entry mode. Regarding the main variables, lower levels of corruption and increased stability regarding political issues resulted in the host country receiving increased M&A investment. However, we found only a positive statistical significance of the political stability variable on the explaining greenfield FDI. Results show that M&A entry mode is affected by both corruption and political instability level. However, the greenfield FDI featuring sunk costs, seems more responsive to political instability.

SCM(Supply Chain Management)와 로지스틱스에 관한 관심은 최근 몇 년간 많은 사람들의 관심을 끌고 있다. 수많은 혁신기법들을 통해 사업 내 낭비의 요소들을 찾아 비용을 절감하면서 생산성 향상을 통해 기업의 수익을 올리는 식의 방법에 한계를 느끼던 기업은 상대적으로 관심이 적었던 SCM과 물류관리 방면으로 눈을 돌리게 되었다. 특히 많은 기업들은 국가의 인지도와 기업의 이미지와 기술력을 통한 경쟁력이 해외로부터 인식되면서 과거 OEM 방식의 통한 수출에서 벋어나 자가 브랜드로 해외 진출을 꾀하면서 OEM 제품과 자가 제품들에 대한 관리를 위해 해외 거점에 대한 관심이 커지기 시작하였다. 이 논문에서는 지리정보시스템(GIS)을 사용하여 국내 기업의 미주 물류거점 구축 전략을 설명한다. 기업이 물류거점을 결정할 때 어떤 방식을 이용하는지, 의사결정지원시스템으로써 지리정보시스템을 어떻게 사용하고, 어떤 과정을 거쳐 물류거점이 결정되는지를 설명하게 될 것이다.

In order to strengthen competitiveness of Korean companies in the intensifying global market, it is crucial to establish preemptive strategy for filing and securing overseas patent in connection with the company strategies. Therefore, this study conducted in-depth interviews with technology innovative companies such as bio-life, manufacturing industry, information and communication, and information service industries with overseas application experience. By analyzing overseas patent application strategy for selecting a patent application route and country, reducing costs, utilizing agents, and adjusting the timing of the examination request according to the internal and external environment of the company, the direction of establishing an overseas patent application strategy for companies considering the overseas market entry was suggested.

1988년을 전후로 건설경기가 서서히 과열되면서 시멘트업계는 1990년부터 3년간 시멘트 파동을 경험하게 된다. 반면 1992년 이후에는 생산과잉을 우려하는 목소리가 터져 나오기 시작했다. 이에 따라 시멘트 업계는 해외진출과 신제품의 개발 등 사업다각화 쪽의 비중을 서서히 높여나가기 시작했다. 이러한 변화는 특히 IMF 상황이 더해지면서 더욱 두드러졌다. 이 시기 시멘트업계는 구조조정과 각종 비용절감 노력을 통해 기업체질 강화를 위해 애쓰는 한편 기존의 시멘트 사업역량을 단단하게 다져나갔다. 또한 1990년대에는 세계적으로 그린라운드(Green Round)가 대두되면서 폐자원의 활용 등 환경에 대한 관심이 커져갔다.
