Disruptive technology is increasingly gaining attention by industries, standards development organizations (SDOs), academia, government and regulatory bodies due to its massive scope of impact on the incumbents and consumers. Companies that take a lead in new technologies intend to dominate the global market by making their technologies into an international standard. However, they tend to seek ways of by-passing the slow procedures of formal SDOs that often hinder prompt action in response to rapid changes in technology and market situations. In the area of disruptive technologies, there is a need to harmonize standardization efforts in formal SDOs for various companies and stakeholders to reap the benefits of technological development and diffusion of innovation. This paper examines the reasons why standardization is more active using market-based mechanisms than through formal SDOs for disruptive technologies. We conducted a Delphi study to investigate standardization strategies in the area of disruptive technologies. This research found that experts understood the core element of disruptive technologies as creating new markets and changing the competition basis in existing industries through the transformation of consumers' behavior. Based on these core characteristics, experts agreed that flexibility and speed are the most important factors for standardization. Results also show that the perception that standardization activities are not directly connected to companies' profit-making is the key barrier to links between research and companies' participation in standardization. This research provides implications for formal SDOs and policymakers.

While the cost of technology development is increased, the life cycle of products and services that have been developed has become progressively shorter. Open innovation have been increasing by company as a strategy to respond to the rapidly changed market. Technology transfer from universities is one of the typical means of technological innovation. Although a university has invested significant resources in R&D, the results has been neglected. Therefore, at the moment, research is needed about the outcomes and efficiency of technology transfer at universities. In the previous research, since most of studies focus on the analysis of factors that influence the outcome of technology transfer, in this study, targeting domestic universities, the efficiency of technology transfer at the university was analyzed. In addition, differences in the efficiency of different types of university is verified. Consequently, universities specializing in technology and industry has high-efficiency than the others. There is no significant difference between the groups of universities whether or not to participate in Technology Licensing Office(TLO). More efforts are required for successful results of TLO in Korea. This study is expected to be able to provide reasonable indicators on technology transfer for further research.

This study examines how the patent results of the University Academic-Industrial Cooperation influence technology transfer. Statistical analysis was performed by using 2013 panel data from the Ministry of Education and Science Technology(MEST) National Research Foundation of Korea(NRF) and the results are as follows. The results show that the patent result factors that have a positive effect on the total number of technology transfers are domestic patent application numbers, foreign patent application numbers, future technology(6T) patent application numbers, science technology patent application numbers. The factors that have a positive effect on increasing royalty are the total number of technology transfers. Domestic patent application numbers, future technology(6T) patent application numbers and science technology patent application numbers have a positive effect on patent results. The results implicate that more research and development is needed for more patents to be applied, that the main focus should be on future technology(6T) and science technology fields, and that effort should be directed at planning negotiation strategies for the term of the contract. However, this study is the need to research, including primary research is so patent performance may be limited in having only been considered in future studies of human and material resources and operating system factors that may be presented to the essential elements of the Industry-Academic Cooperation Foundation this raises.

To investigate the causes of the thermal deformations of packaging materials when microwave-heating ready-to-eat sauce products packaged in stand-up pouches, patterns of temperature changes were determined using an infra-red thermal imaging camera, a thermo-sensitive tape, and a fiver-optic thermometer. The temperature distributions of spicy chicken sauce and Indian curry samples in a stand-up pouch were found to be uneven during micrewave heating. A sharp increase in the temperature was detected, especially above the filling layers and in the corners of sealing layers of the package. The temperature measurements using an infra-red thermal imaging camera are restricted to the surface, and therefore might underestimate the actual temperature. Using a thermo-sensitive tape, temperature up to $200^{\circ}C$ were measured in the spicy chicken sauce sample showing package deformation. When the temperature is measured using a fiber-optic thermometer, it is crucial to have precise sensor performance to accurately measure the temperature in a narrow hot-spot area of the package. In this experiment, the fiber-optic thermometer was attached to a GaAs crystal sensor, which obtained more sensitive and accurate temperature measurements than those by a convectional sensor.

A method was developed for analyzing the radiation heat transfer from the duct burner flame to the heat exchanger in a heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) in order to supplement the existing thermal design process. The burner flame and the heat exchanger were considered to be imaginary planes, and the flame temperature, surface, and emissivity were simplified using an engineering approach. Three analysis cases in which the duct burner position and fuel were changed were considered. The calculated flame radiative heat transfer and local flux on the heating surface were compared with those of 3-atomic gas radiation and convection. In all analysis cases, heat transfer by 3-atomic gas radiation was very small. The ratio of the flame radiative heat transfer to the convection heat transfer on the heating surface was estimated to be as high as 8-41%. Moreover, the local heat flux on the heating surface centerline was dominated by flame radiative heat flux.

As with fast growing globalization, Korean firms have increased their offshoring activities and more empirical research are needed to analyze the effect of offshoring on Korean firms' productivity. This study used "Survey of Business Activities", a firm-level panel data set surveyed by the Statistics Korea between 2006 and 2008, and estimated pooled OLS and Panel fixed effect model to examine the impact of offshoring on a firm's labor productivity. Unlike the previous studies on offshoring, we included in the analyses the firms in the service industry in addition to those in the manufacturing industry, and presented the comparative results. The results from pooled OLS model show that 1% increase in the share of offshoring output will lead to 0.03% increase in labor productivity. However, the results from Panel model show that the effects of offshoring on productivity is positive but statistically insignificant. Analyzing the manufacturing and the service sector separately, the main results based on Panel model can be summarized as follows: Offshoring has significant positive effects on firms' productivity in the manufacturing industry. Contrastingly, the impact of offshoring on firms' productivity in the service industry is estimated to be negative but statistically insignificant. Other than the share of offshoring output, most factors except headquarter location have positive effects on firms' productivity in both manufacturing and service industry.

Crib wall is one of the segmental grid retaining walls using headers and stretchers to establish the framework of the wall. In this method, grids formed by the intersection of headers and stretchers are generally filled with the gravel to maintain the weight of the wall. Therefore, the construction can be carried out with higher speed and much economically when compared with the concrete retaining wall. Furthermore, it has high drain capacity, and environmentally friendly aspects also have been pointed out because the possibility of the planting at the front of the wall. However, in the wooden crib wall method, the relative movement between the individual headers and stretchers was generally recognized, and stress redistribution in the gravel filling was also observed when subjected to the external loading and self-weight of filling. In this study, it was analyzed fracture types and causes of wooden crib wall through detailed investigation and analysis of a large crib wall construction site. As a results, it occurred the damage in the members of 5.7% in a total of 2,315 locations and the damage of header occurred in the members of a header 80.2%. The 65.7% of the damaged header are concentrated in the lower part of crib wall. Therefore, it was analyzed the differences of fracture types and causes of wooden crib wall depending on the installation position and the kinds of members. It is considered basically the members of various forms of distortion and the grain affecting.

Heating patterns depending on the packaging materials were examined in order to investigate the causes of thermal deformation of packages used for ready-to-eat foods for microwave heating due to the non-uniformity of microwaves. Physical properties including tensile strength, heat-resistance and elongation of four different CPP grades were compared. High retortable CPP had higher sealing strength and heat resistance compared to the conventional CPPs. All CPP samples tested were proved to have melting temperatures around $160^{\circ}C$. However, they were all thermally deformed by microwave heating due to a limited penetration of microwave and non-uniform heating within the spicy sauce of high viscosity contained high salt, especially on the above the filling line and sealing edge of pouches. When the laminated stand-up pouches composed of G-PET/PET/PET/CPP and G-PET/PET/NY/CPP were retorted and microwaved, significant deformations were noticed in both samples after retorting. Besides, pouches contained titanium dioxide showed more intense thermal deformation than the control. When the $10{\mu}m$ aluminium foil was affixed on the pouch, small thermal deformation was observed only in the bottom layer. More studies are required to prevent the thermal deformation of packaging materials used for RTE foods during microwave heating by developing the technologies to increase the thermal stability of CPP layer and the modification of packaging design to modify the microwave access into the package.

조미료란 식품을 조리, 가공, 섭취할 때 맛을 증진시키거나 강화시킬 목적으로 사용되는 물질을 일컫는다. 발효, 종합 및 천연계 조미료의 국내외 시장동향에 대해 살펴보고, 조미료의 향후 발전방향과 중점 연구 분야, 관련업계의 연구개발 동향에 대한 고찰을 토대로 조미료 분야의 고부가가치 산업으로의 육성방안에 대해 알아보았다. 미원, 아이미 등으로 대표되는 발효조미료의 내수시장은 성숙기를 거쳐 소폭 감소세를 보이는 쇠퇴기에 접어들고 있다. 이는 소비자의 MSG에 대한 기피현상이 주 원인으로 판단된다. 전반적으로 품질 차별화 없이 가격 경쟁이 심화되고 있는 실정이다. 국내 종합조미료 시장은 1975년 국내에 처음으로 CJ에서 다시다 제품을 출시한 후 대상에서 1982년 맛나, 1988년 감치미를 출시하면서 30여 년간 지속적으로 성장해 왔다. 현재 시장규모는 2천억원에 이르고 있으며 최근 들어서는 성장세가 완만해지고 있고 가정용은 거의 정체되어 있다. 일본 조미료 시장은 발효조미료, 종합조미료 그리고 다양한 조미식품의 소재로 활용되는 천연조미료로 구분할 수 있다. 발효조미료 시장은 국내와 비슷한 상황으로 전체적인 물량변화는 약간 감소하는 경향이며 생산기지의 해외이전 현상이 뚜렷하다. 종합조미료 시장은 한국과 유사한 풍미조미료 외에도 보다 전문화되고 다양한 형태의 조미료가 시판되고 있으며, 전통적인 풍미조미료는 정체현상을 보이고 건강지향, 전용화 조미료가 호조를 보이고 있다. 일본과 한국의 조미료 발전 단계는 조금 차이를 보이고 있다. 현재 한국은 종합조미료 시대에서 용도별 조미료 시대로 넘어가는 단계에 있는 반면, 일본은 이미 메뉴 전용 조미료시대에 접어들었고, 건강, 기능성을 강조하는 시대로 나아가고 있다. 이들 변화는 건강에 대한 소비자의 관심과 그로 인한 보다 천연에 가까운 조미소재에 대한 수요, 동시에 맛에 대한 충족까지 요구하는 시대적 변화에 따른 필연적 결과로 보인다. 미래의 조미료는 천연계 소재의 사용량이 증가할 것이고, 소비자의 건강, 안전 추구심리에 부흥하여 안전성과 기능성을 부여하는 소재에 관심이 집중될 것으로 보인다. 더불어 전반적인 생활수준 향상에 따라 제품의 고급화와 전용화도 진행될 것으로 보인다. 향후 조미료시장을 주도할 각 현상에 대해 좀더 자세히 알아보고 학계 및 업체의 최근 연구동향과 제품개발 현황에 대해 고찰해 보았다. 기술연구 동향을 보면, 나노 기술에 의한 조미신소재연구, 초미분쇄기술, 미세 캡슐화 기술, 생물공학 기술이 활용된 발효 및 효소분해에 의한 펩타이드계 조미소재 개발 등이 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 선진업체 연구 및 제품개발 동향은 아지노모트/교와의 ''코쿠미''계 조미소재 연구개발, 일연푸드/동해물산의 천연 엑기스계 조미소재 연구개발, 보조주(주)의 주류 조미료 개발 위주로 살펴보았다. 조미료 시장의 발전 과정과 선진 업체들의 연구, 개발동향을 종합해 보면 첫째는 천연 건강지향에 부응하는 차별화된 소재 및 기능성 소재 개발이고 둘째는 맛과 편리함의 추구에 대응하는 메뉴 전용화 추세이다. 이를 위한 기술적 연구도 기능성 소재(히스티딘 함유 디펩타이드)개발, 나노기술, 미세캡슐화 기술 등을 통하여 다양하게 진행되고 있다. 조미료 산업을 첨단 고부가가치 산업으로 육성하기 위해서는 R&D 투자확대와 효율성을 제고하는 것이 필수적이다. 각 기업단위에서는 장기적 차원에서 첨단식품 기반기술에 대한 연구를 수행하거나, 전문 중소기업, 벤처를 육성하는데 지원해야 한다. 그러나 현실은 당장의 수익과 회사간 경쟁으로 인해 장기적 투자, 사회적 인프라 육성 등에는 관심을 쏟지 않고 있다. 조미료를 비롯한 식품에 관련된 기술들이 다양한 기초연구와 응용기술, 개발연구 등의 총합인 경우가 많기 때문에 이들 상이한 연구 분야간의 연계를 강화하고 개발된 기술의 이전, 확산체계를 구축할 필요가 있다. 이를 위해 기업간 수평적 네트워크 외에도 국가기관이 참여하는 연구 자원의 효율적 집행 기관이 필요하리라 본다.

Korea's trade balance in service showed surplus in 2012 on the basis of BPM5. This is recorded by 14 years since 1999. This owes to decrease of deficit in tourism balance, increase of surplus in construction and transportation, and shift from deficit to surplus, even in small portion, in personal cultural recreational services balance. While externally the global economic growth becomes inactive and the Korean Won has appreciated, internally Korean service industry is very weak and is not equipped with international competitiveness. This study intends to look into service surplus items and services deficit items and to present measures that will be able to strengthen competitiveness in service industry. As a short case study, German and Japan was benchmarked, as they are the countries which are developed on the basis of manufacturing like Korea. And in this study, by analyzing surplus items and deficit items in trade balance sheet, it is attempted to suggest policies which would be available for strengthening service industry. As the service industry is a highly value-added one, it is necessary to designate promising categories and intensively foster as strategic industry. Service industry has their own characteristics distinguished with manufacturing goods. It has very different logistics and payment system with manufacturing industry. It means there must be independent support systems which reflect the nature of industrial classification in service industry. It is necessary to provide export support system, to organize export market development group, to support marketing, to set common logistics center, to support diplomatic means, to provide legal service and so on.
