Using bidding data collected from the World Bank's open database, this research performed a series of competitive analyses of the major countries that have participated in the Bank's engineering consulting services contracts in Vietnam. The goal of the analysis was to evaluate the performance of Korean engineering firms to date, and provide strategic recommendations for future projects. Results showed that Korean firms had a high bid acceptance rate, comparable to major developed countries. The success was attributed to the high technical scores in the selection process. Comparatively, financial scores were not competitive and inferior to developing countries such as China and India. Results of a 'Skitmore' analysis revealed that Korea was competitive in medium size projects and were situated between developed and developing countries. Korea thus needs to increase participation in basic and detailed design services, 2) improve labor costs through 'localization' and latest technologies, and 3) and venture into larger sized projects.

While major alliance container carriers in the post-corona era are enjoying the largest boom in history with their fleet reduction strategy, shippers companies are in a state of deteriorating import and export price competitiveness due to increased logistics costs, and forwarders who act for shipping companies' logistics services are also experiencing the burden of rising freight rates It is in a state of overheated competition and worsening profits for attracting shippers. For this purpose, research data, literature studies, statistical data and data from overseas specialized networks were used as prior research. Online surveys and telephone interviews were conducted, and as a result, four areas of cold chain (including perishable cargo), project logistics, UN procurement logistics, and dangerous goods logistics, which were found to be particularly in high demand, were analyzed to suggest entry strategies.

최근 지방자치단체는 세계화 개방화 정보화 기술화라는 메가트렌드와 지방화 분권화 자치화라는 국내외 환경변화에 직면하고 있어 그 생존과 발전을 위해서는 무엇보다도 지역개발 및 지역경제발전이 시급하다는 위기의식을 가지고 있다. 과거 국가적인 차원에서 주도되어 왔던 지역경제개발정책이 이제는 지방자치단체에 의하여 지역적 차원에서 이루어지고 있다는 것이다. 특히, 경제정책의 대외적인 측면인 통상정책분야는 최근의 시대적 흐름에 비추어 볼 때 그 개발의 주체가 지방자치단체이어야 하며 지방자치단체의 정책영역 중에서도 비중이 가장 높아지고 있다. 이러한 통상진흥정책의 중요성에도 불구하고 중앙정부차원에서 제공되어지는 통상자료는 수도권 중심의 자료가 대부분이어서 그 자료를 이용할 때는 해당 지방의 중소기업에 맞게 지방자치단체가 보완 수정해줄 필요가 있다. 특히, 세계화와 지방자치시대 이후 경쟁이 심화되고 있는 지방자치단체는 국내외적인 통상환경변화에 능동적으로 대처하기 위하여 통상진흥전략을 신축적으로 운용하여야 한다.

Recently the environment in geospatial information has conversed into the plaform. The platform based geospatial information contributes to save time and cost as well as maintain the consistency and stability in spatial data infrastructure. The Republic of Korea is now constructing and operating the spatial open platform called as the V-World(Virtual World), and searching for the possibility of its abroad export. The purpose of this study is to elicit the abroad export strategy by country of spatial open platform by comparing the cases of developing country, the Kingdom of Cambodia and newly developed country, the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, The Kingdom of Cambodia depends on foreign aids to develop the spatial data infrastructure and the Emirate of Abu Dhabi is inducing an advanced technology and high human power from overseas based on abundant oil money. This study establishes the abroad export strategy based on two country models such as Cambodia and Abu Dhabi by considering the characteristics in geospatial information, and suggests the ways of abroad export and the methods on fund raising for spatial open platform.

Dongguan City of Guangdong province, one of the core areas of the Pearl River Delta, has also pursued economic development through the geographical advantage close to Hong Kong. In the early 1980s, small and medium-sized multinational corporations related to home appliances industry from Hong Kong invested to the Dongguan area and set up a production factory. In the mid-1990s, as Taiwanese PC manufacturers invested, local industrial clusters have developed in Dongguan with core of the IT, PC components and electronic industries. The case of the IT industrial cluster in Dongguan is a typical example of the development of Chinese manufacturing industry after the reform of China. This paper focused on the coupling strategy case of Dongguan City industrial cluster in Guangdong province, and theoretically compared the endogenous growth factor analysis(NMID) of regional industrial development with the regional differentiation of industry based on external linkage with global production network(GPN).

As the Asian region becomes strategically important in the international construction market, competition among construction firms has been more intense. While existing literature on the Asian construction market have mainly focused on qualitative approaches to market entry strategies and risk assessment, quantitative research to explain the dynamic competitive structure of the market has been rarely conducted. To address this issue, this study analyzes the structure of contract performance in the Asian region based on the data from 3,996 projects awarded to Korean construction firms from 2009 to 2017. In addition, this study applies a mathematical model using both static (market concentration) and dynamic (market mobility and instability) analyses. Consequently, the static analysis indicates that market concentration led by top-four firms tends to be increased, and on the dynamic aspect, the market position of Korean construction firms is recently weakened and fluctuated in most of the Asian regions and the construction sectors. The methodology and result of this paper would be meaningful not only to understand the underlying structure of industry-level performance but also to provide a useful reference for establishing competitive strategies towards the Asian market.
