The utilization of Digital and Social Network has become be a key success factor in business operations as information technologies evolve rapidly. This study is to identity the relationship between ICT & digital utilization, global orientation and export marketing capability in Korean SMEs. Survey data of Korean SMEs in south regional areas was collected and analyzed for empirical hypothesis test by PLS structural equation method. The key findings are as follows. First, ICT utilization such as SNS, homepage and online portal does not impact directly on export marketing capability. It means that SMEs would not still take advantage of utilization of social network availability. Second, ICT utilization has positive influences on global market orientation and global network orientation. Finally, both global market orientation and network have significant impacts on export marketing capability. In conclusion, global orientation has full-mediation effects on relationship between ICT capability and global marketing. This study provides evidences and some practical insights that digital utilization have indirect influences on global marketing through global markets and network orientation in Korean SMEs. In information technology era, ICT utilization will play an important role in the process of SMEs' internationalization. Therefore, for sustainable growth and survival SMEs should manage and intensify ICT capability more strategically as one of core competence. The value of ICT capability in SMEs would be depended on their strategic perspectives toward digitalization. Additional empirical research about digital capability based on larger sample will be needed.

This study analyzes the impact of core competencies of technology innovation startups-namely technological development capability, organizational management capability, and digital transformation capability-on financial performance through the mediation of innovativeness. Previous research has focused on the non-financial performance of startups, with a lack of studies examining financial performance, which is a crucial indicator of actual business success. Therefore, an online survey was conducted targeting domestic technology innovation startups, and data from 213 responses were used for the final analysis. The results of the structural equation modeling indicated that technological development capability, organizational management capability, and digital transformation capability positively influence innovativeness. Additionally, higher levels of innovativeness were associated with improved financial performance, and innovativeness was found to play a significant mediating role between core competencies and financial performance. These findings suggest which competencies technology innovation startups should focus on to achieve financial goals.

With the development of information and communication technology, modern people are receiving various benefits, and knowledge and use of information and communication technology are becoming essential qualities in modern people's lives. There are people who do not enjoy the rich benefits of this information and communication society, and the so-called 'digital divide' acts as an obstacle that prevents the information and communication from enjoying a rich life. Currently, there are four major information underprivileged classes in Korea, the disabled, the elderly, low-income class and farmers and fishermen, respectively. The purpose of this study is to identify the current status of the digital divide for the low-income class and to analyze the causes of the digital divide. To this end, in this study, we analyze statistics on digital divide at the national level and analyzed the digital divide of low-income class from three perspectives: information access, information capability, and information use. As a result of the analysis, it was found that the lack of information capability was the biggest cause of the digital divide, and in particular, information management ability was the most insufficient among information capabilities.

As the DT of micro businesses emerges as an important task, the government is also promoting support projects such as policy establishment and micro business education. This study aims to develop a new index (checklist) that can objectively measure the level of digital literacy required for DT in the tertiary industry, which accounts for the largest share of micro business owners. In this study, indicators were derived through review of existing studies and FGI, and the validity and reliability of Likert 5 were measured for decision makers in the tertiary industry. In the field of digital literacy for micro business owners, a total of 22 indicators were developed, largely composed of basic technology environment competency, information utilization competency, information dissemination and production capability, and mind recognition capability. This study has academic significance in that it can contribute to accurately understanding the digital capabilities of micro business owners by developing a digital literacy index for micro business owners, a specific group lacking in research.

The purpose of this study is to investigate how supply chain digital transformation affects corporate performance by building supply chain agility and innovation capabilities based on the resource-based view (RBV) theory. The model was verified using structural equation modeling based on a data set of 271 domestic companies, and mediation and moderation analyzes were performed to test the research hypotheses. The study found a positive correlation between supply chain digital transformation and corporate performance that is fully mediated by both supply chain agility and innovation capability, with the potential for the interaction between supply chain agility and innovation capability to have adverse consequences for corporate performance. This study is expected to advance our understanding on the antecedents of corporate performance by integrating supply chain digital transformation and the mediating mechanisms of supply chain agility and innovation capabilities that serve as a conduit between supply chain digital transformation and RBV-based corporate performance.
