The global economy and the air transport business have been affected since the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic. As countries tighten restrictions on international movements, the growing emphasis on air cargo puts pressure on airports to maintain and upgrade their cargo policies, facilities, and operations. Hence, ensuring the competitiveness of cargo airports becomes pivotal for airports survival under the volatile global demand. The study aims to evaluate the importance of the competitiveness factors for cargo airports and identify areas for further improvement. The study applies the Best-Worst Method (BWM) to assess the cargo airports' competitiveness factors: 'Transport Capacity,' 'Airport Operations and Facility Capacity,' 'Economic Growth,' 'Financial Performance,' and 'Airport Brand Value.' The selected airports include Heathrow Airport, Aéroport de Paris-Charles de Gaulle, Hong Kong International Airport, and Incheon International Airport. The results identify 'Transport Capacity' as the most significant competitiveness factor, and Hong Kong International Airport the best performing cargo airport. This research forms a reference framework for evaluating cargo airports' competitive position, which may help identify airports' relative strengths and weaknesses. Moreover, this framework can also serve as a tool facilitating the strategic design of airports that may accommodate both air cargo and passenger demand flexibly under the demand uncertainty.

전자무역은 인터넷, EDI 등 디지털 수단을 이용하여 국가간 상품과 서비스를 매매하는 상거래 활동 및 이를 지원하는 활동을 말한다. 특히, 무역의 전부 또는 일부가 컴퓨터 등 정보처리 능력을 가진 장치와 정보통신망을 이용하여 이루어지는 거래를 말한다. 무역업무는 무역관계당사자 즉, 은행, 보험회사, 운송회사, 선박회사, 세관, 검사소, 조합 협회 등과 사이에서 이루어지는 거래이기 때문에 복잡한 업무의 가치체인을 가지고 있다. 따라서 1건의 무역업무의 실현시키기 위해서는 다양하고 복잡한 가치체인 속에서 업무의 영속성을 가지고 있어야 한다. 현재 전자무역은 전통적인 무역장벽의 축소 및 제거에서부터 복잡한 무역절차에 의해서 초래되는 보이지 않는 무역장벽을 제거 또는 축소하는 방향으로 전개되고 있으며, 절약되는 시간과 비용(직접비용과 간접비용)을 국제경쟁력을 높이는데 활용하자는 데에 관심이 모아지고 있다. 궁극적으로 글로벌 기업들은 다양한 수단 즉, 인터넷, 모바일 등을 이용하여 새로운 글로벌 수요를 창출하기 위한 방법을 모색하고 있다.

Purpose - Appropriate response to the fast changing economic environment determines SMEs' competiveness in the era of globalization and open market and, therefore, government policies to strengthen SME's competitiveness will be very important in the future. It is time to investigate the element of strategic orientation that is necessary for strengthening the competitiveness of SMEs, and its effect on the success of a business start-up. This study analyzes the network orientation in addition to existing strategic orientation, and focuses on price and quality management capability as mediators for strategic orientation and outcomes of business start-ups. Research design/data/methodology - The orientations of technology-based business founders were classified into market, technology, network, and entrepreneurial orientation. We then investigated the effect of these orientations on product price and quality management capability, as well as the influence of price and quality management capability on the outcome of a business start-up. This study is based on the nation-wide survey of the founders and members of technology-based business establishments. The survey was administered to 300 selected companies via email for a period of one month, at the end of which 175 companies replied with valid answers. Further, for effective and objective research, we used SPSS 14.0 and Amos 7.0 for structural equation modeling assumptions and hypothesis verification. Results - Except for entrepreneurial orientation, the other three orientations, namely, technology, market, and network orientations, affect the price management capability according to our results. The price management capability relates significantly with the sales and customer satisfaction. Especially, technology orientation is the core competency of start-ups that affects price and quality management capabilities. However, technology and entrepreneurial orientation do not influence the outcome of business start-ups, but affect their quality management capabilities. Conclusions - This study confirms that the strategic orientation affects product price as well as quality management capabilities, to introduce new products and achieve successful outcomes. In conclusion, new business founders face the dilemma of trade-off between price and quality in the planning stage of new product development. In particular, price management capability directly affects the outcome. Therefore, price management is more important for a successful start-up than quality management. Especially, during the initial stages of starting up a new business, price management capability entails following the market-leading company, or price penetration strategy. In this stage, price management is dependent on the information from outside rather than on the founder's decision, and it directly affects sales performance and customer satisfaction. In contrast, quality management capability is directly related to the technology capability and market experience of founders. In this case, subjective and proactive decision making is required for differentiation and development of demand in the niche market, which does not directly influence the sales performance and customer satisfaction.

Purpose - The purpose of this study is to present what the port of Pyeongtaek, the hub of Korean trade with China, should improve in the current situation, wherein the e-commerce trade volume between Korea and China is increasing due to the development of online technology. Design/methodology - In this study, through prior research and expert interviews on e-commerce and port activation between borders, we derived the main improvement factors for 1) Administration and Systems, 2) Facilities, 3) Transport, and 4) Manpower, and selected 12 detailed variables for the major improvement factors. To identify the relative importance of the major improvement factors, the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method was applied, and a survey was conducted among 15 related experts. Findings - As a result, among the 12 detailed variables, Composition of Association (0.267) was the first factor to be improved, followed by Incentive Support (0.143) and E-Commerce Cluster (0.131). Based on these analyses, the main implications of this study are, first, in the current situation where the cross-border e-commerce market is growing, Pyeongtaek Port needs to form a consultative body among the government, local governments, and related businesses in connection with cross-border e-commerce and develop various support policies for the e-commerce market. Second, it will have to be able to provide differentiated services from competing ports by establishing e-commerce market-oriented clusters. Originality/value - In existing related studies, various improvements were presented to revitalize trade in line with the growth of the cross-border e-commerce market. However, with regard to most cross-border e-commerce businesses, one-dimensional improvement measures, such as improvement of payment systems, improvement of customs clearance services, and promotion of human resources, are presented in a piecemeal manner. In other words, none of the studies have proposed the importance and priority of each measure in terms of both the forward-looking and efficient allocation of resources, which is the purpose of this study. Therefore, this study contributed politically, practically, and academically by presenting countermeasures for ports to revitalize cross-border e-commerce and presenting strategic priorities using quantitative analysis methods.

China has achieved remarkable economic growth through an extended period of rapid industrialization. However, adverse environmental issues have become more prevalent during this time of development. In particular, car exhaust emissions in the country have become one of the most substantial causes of environmental degradation in China. To combat these issues, the Chinese government is actively implementing green car policies to mitigate the negative environmental concerns. Likewise, Chinese consumers' interest in green cars has also increasing. Despite these changes in consumer perceptions, research on Chinese consumers' green consumption behavior is still in its infancy. Therefore, an empirical study was conducted to measure the relationship between zhongyong(中庸) values, new ecological paradigm(NEP), and green consumption behavior for 334 Chinese consumers. As a result, the study found that the three sub-dimensions of zhongyong(中庸) values(multi-dimensionality, flexibility and compatibility) and NEP had a significantly positive(+) effect on the purchase intention of green cars. It was also found that NEP positively mediates the effect of flexibility and harmony on purchase intention of green cars. This study is expected to provide academic outcomes on China, which is currently the world's fastest growing green car market, as well as providing practical strategic implications for establishing unique green marketing strategy for China.

이 글에서는 박근혜 정부가 적극적으로 추진해온 노동시장 구조개혁을 둘러싼 노동정치의 국면에서 한국노총과 민주노총이 보여온 정책대안과 활동전략을 중심으로 우리 노조운동의 전략적 역량을 검토하며 비판적으로 평가하고 있다. 정부 주도의 노동시장유연화 정책이 계획대로 성사된 것은 아니지만, 노동계가 그들이 바라는 고용안정성을 강화하는 진보적인 노동개혁을 관철시키는'파워의 역설'을 이뤄내지 못하였을 뿐 아니라 정부의 개혁정책에 대해 전략적 역량을 제대로 발휘하지 못하였다. 특히, 양노총은 조합원대중의 결집된 동원(조직연대자원)과 시민사회 친노동정치 세력과의 광범한 연대(연결망자원), 우호적 지지여론의 확보-강화(담론자원), 그리고 활동체계 조직자원 등의 효능적 집행(인프라자원)을 이뤄낼 수 있는 전략적 역량을 제대로 행사하지 못해온 것으로 평가된다. 노동시장 구조개혁을 둘러싼 노동정치에 있어 행사되는 노조운동의 전략적 역량에는 대중적 담론의 형성과 확산이 무엇보다 중요하다. 왜냐하면, 제한된 운동자원과 불리한 권력지형의 제약에 놓여 있는 노조운동으로서는 조직 안의 대중적 결집과 강력한 동원을 이뤄냄과 동시에 조직 밖의 시민사회로부터 대중적 지지와 동참을 이끌어낼 수 있는가의 여부가 그들의 정치적 협상력이나 사회적 영향력을 더욱 중요하게 좌우하기 때문이다. 노동개혁을 둘러싼 노동정치의 국면에서 노조운동으로서는 조직안팎에 대한 프레밍 조정 총화 학습의 전략적 능력을 효과적으로 행사하는 것이 더욱 중요해진다. 최근의 노동개혁국면에서 우리 노조운동은 보유한 자원을 제대로 가동-활용치 못하고 타성적 방식으로 저항운동을 전개함으로써 스스로 조직 안팎의 대중으로부터 운동적 효능감을 잃어가고 있는 것에 대해 깊은 성찰이 요구된다. 또한, 노동시장의 진보적 개혁을 도모함에 있어 정 경 언의 보수 권력연합 앞에서 분열된 조직노동과 야당 및 시민사회의 각개적 대응이 무기력할 수 밖에 없는 만큼, 친노동 세력과 집단들간에 유기적 연대-공조 네트워크를 만들어내는 것이 필요하다.

기술경쟁과 생산경쟁에 범위(範圍)의 경제(經濟)가 존재하고, 두 기업이 생산경쟁에서 전략적(戰略的) 대체관계(代替關係)에 있는 경우 경쟁기업간의 기술경쟁(技術競爭)은 적극적인 양상을 띠게 된다. 생산단계의 경쟁자를 견제하기 위환 전략적 대응으로 기술경쟁단계(技術競爭段階)에서 과잉된 기술투자(技術投資)와 기술이전(技術移轉)이 유발되는 것이다. 또한 과잉된 기술경쟁은 제품가격(製品價格)의 급속한 하락(下落)으로 연결된다. 이와 같은 맥락에서 최근 보도 된 바 있는 국산화 신제품에 대한 외국기업의 저가공세(低價攻勢)는 과점적(寡占的) 시장(市場)에서 나타나는 자연스런 현상으로 이해할 수 있다. 또한 기술경쟁단계에서 기술개발투자(技術開發投資)와 기술이전(技術移轉)은 전략적(戰略的) 대체관계(代替關係)뿐만 아니라 전략적(戰略的) 보완관계(補完關係)를 가질 수 있다. 이와 같이 대조적인 전략적 대응관계가 가능하기 때문에 국산화(國産化) 노력(努力)을 견제하고 국내시장(國內市場) 점유율(占有率)을 유지하기 위해 저가공세를 취하는 외국기업에 대한 대응방안(對應方案)으로 검토되고 있는 수입품에 대한 조정관세(調整關稅), 국산화 신제품에 대한 수요창출(需要創出), 기술투자의 채산성 보장을 위한 보조금지급(補助金支給) 등과 같은 정책변수(政策變數) 활용(活用)이 바람직한가를 사전적으로 규정하기는 어렵다. 즉 전략적 무역(산업)정책이론에서 주장하는 것처럼 관세부과(關稅賦課)나 보조금지급(補助金支給)이 국내기업의 시장점유율(市場占有率)과 기술투자규모(技術投資規模)를 향상 증대시키는 것은 아니라는 것이다.
