The study explores the evolving landscape of overseas expansion strategies by Korean corporations, focusing on recent geopolitical tensions, the COVID-19 pandemic, and disruptions in global supply chains. It emphasizes the challenges faced by industries producing high-value products and delves into the concept of "Friend-Shoring" policies in the United States, leading major Korean companies to invest in local semiconductor, battery, and automotive factories. Recognizing the potential fragmentation of Korea's manufacturing sector, the paper introduces the "Mother Factory" strategy as a policy initiative, inspired by Japan's model, to establish core production facilities domestically. The discussion unfolds by examining the cases of major companies in Japan and the United States, highlighting the need for Korea to adopt a mother factory strategy to mitigate risks associated with friend-shoring policies. Inspired by Intel's "Copy Exactly" approach, the paper proposes a Korean mother factory model integrating smart factory technology and digital twin systems. This strategic shift aims to enhance responsiveness to geopolitical challenges and fortify the competitiveness of Korean high-tech industries. Finally, the paper proposes a Korean Mother Factory based on smart factory concepts. The suggested model integrates smart factory technology and digital twin frameworks to enhance responsiveness and fortify competitiveness. In conclusion, the paper advocates for the adoption of a comprehensive Korean Mother Factory model to address contemporary challenges, foster advanced manufacturing, and ensure the sustainability and competitiveness of Korean high-tech industries in the global landscape. The proposed strategy aligns with the evolving dynamics of the manufacturing sector and emphasizes technological advancements, collaboration, and strategic realignment.

The Korean Apparel industry has played an significant role for the econom-ic development in Korea which is mainaly due to the apparel exports to the world market. However the Koran apparel industry has confronted drastic changes in domestic and also in international market for the last several years. Korean apparel products have lost price competitiveness in international market because domestic labor costs have increased so fast and al-so newcomers such as China or other Asian countries have emerged as compet-itive producers. Furthermore domestic market has been saturated with the Korean apparel manufacturers and also with the foreign retailers. Therefore the Korean apparel industry should establish market-ing strategies in order to regain competitiveness. This study aims to analyze the factors for non-price competitiveness of Korean apparel industry and propose the way to regain competitiveness form the buyers' point of view. The present study utilize the survey data for the internet database which is established by the Cotton Incorporated. The results show that the Korean apparel industry is not competitive in terms of non-price factors such as minimum orders terms of payment preproduction stage use of new technolo-gy and lead times.

GTO의 경쟁력 제고 방안 요인 중 대분류 세 가지 요인에 대한 분석결과는 "주관적인 요인"이 4.21점, "경영환경적인 요인"이 3.94점, 그리고 "정부 정책적인 요인"이 3.90점이었다. 세 가지 요인 중 주관적인 요인의 평균평점이 월등히 높아 결국 GTO의 경쟁력을 제고하기 위해서는 GTO 스스로 물동량을 확보하고, 항만물류서비스를 제고하는 등의 노력을 하는 것이 가장 중요하다는 것을 나타내고 있다. 하지만 경영환경적인 요인과 정부 정책적인 요인의 평균평점은 거의 동일하여, 이 두 가지 요인은 GTO의 경쟁력 제고에 거의 동일하게 영향을 미치고 있다는 결론이다. 즉, 주관적인 요인의 평균평점이 월등히 높다는 것은, GTO의 경쟁력을 제고하기 위해서는 항만 컨테이너터미널을 운영하는 GTO 스스로가 가장 우선적으로 (1) 로컬 및 환적 컨테이너 물동량을 확보하고, (2) 신속성 정시성 안정성 등 항만물류서비스를 제고하며, (3) 생산성을 높여 저렴한 요율을 적용하여야 하고, (4) 선사 유치 및 전략적 제휴 등을 통해 물동량을 확보하는 것이 가장 중요하다는 것을 의미한다. 한편 경영환경적인 요인(3.94점)이 정부 정책적인 요인(3.90) 보다 약간 높지만 거의 동일한 평균 평점을 기록하고 있는데, 이것은 경영환경적인 요인, 즉 세계경제의 발전 및 컨테이너 물동량의 증가, 컨테이너선사의 발전 및 Alliance, 항만의 인지도, 중추항만으로서의 기능 등도 GTO의 경쟁력을 제고 하는데 상당히 중요하며, 이와 더불어 선진적인 항만개발정책, 선전진적인 요율 정책, 환적물량 확보 등을 위한 인센티브 정책 등 정부 정책적인 요인도 GTO의 경쟁력을 제고 하는데 상당한 영향을 미치고 있는 것으로 보인다.

Recent trends in business are characterized by recognition of the importance of knowledge assets. Especially, this phenomenon is receiving more momentum as our society goes digital rapidly. The concept of Knowledge Management has long been used as an effective way of restructuring the management process of a firm. In literature regarding knowledge management, a number of successful cases were reported, where knowledge-based management activities could dramatically enhance a firm's strategic performance for years. However, there exists very little research investigating the effect of knowledge management on corporate competitiveness. Researchers as well as practitioners need more rigorous results about such issues, especially how much the knowledge management strategic initiatives may have an influence on the firm's competitiveness. In this sense, we need an empirical study adopting statistical approaches due to the existence of abundant knowledge management case studies. To fill this research void, this study proposes a research model testing whether knowledge management activities could improve corporate competitiveness. We collected 321 valid questionnaires from participants in knowledge management activities in the tourism industry and applied a structural equation model. Empirical results showed that knowledge management activities have a positive impact on knowledge management efficiency and finally corporate competitiveness. We hope that this study will shed light on further rigorous studies considering tourism industry as a major strategic activity.
