  • In response to drastic environmental changes, companies have been continuously rebalancing their resources and capabilities to sustain their competitive status or to survive difficult times. The aim of this study is to analyze the effect of sudden environmental changes on the competitive status of a firm and to identify the internal factors that differentiate sustainer and non-sustainer groups. To achieve this goal, we selected 85 representative IT and non-IT companies from the S&P 500 companies and investigated them with respect to the change in their five-year competitive status since the 2008 global financial crisis. As a concrete performance measure, the concept of perceived competitive status (PCS) was introduced, and four distinct PCS categories were identified by using the stock price changes during the selected period. The four distinct PCS categories are "sustaining," "drifting," "deep sunken," and "bouncing back." Discriminant analysis was performed on these four distinct PCS categories. The empirical study conducted showed that revenue and cost efficiency are the most discriminating factors, especially in the economic recovery period. In particular, stronger financial liquidity was observed in high-performing "bouncing back" companies than in the other category companies.

  • 본 연구는 구미지역을 둘러싼 산업 환경의 변화와 그러한 환경 변화 속에서의 구미지역의 산업위기 실태를 분석하였다. 구미지역은 제4차 산업혁명시대로의 전환, 모바일기기 및 디스플레이 업종을 비롯한 주력산업의 경쟁력 약화 그리고 삼성과 LG그룹 등 중핵기업의 역외 이전과 같은 국제적 국가적 국지적 차원에서의 환경 변화 속에서 그 어느 때보다 급격한 격동의 시기를 겪고 있다. 이에 지역 차원에서는 환경 변화에 대응 적응하기 위해 자동차부품, 첨단의료기기 그리고 탄소소재 산업 등의 육성을 통해 산업구조를 다각화하려는 노력이 이루어져 왔다. 하지만 구미지역은 여전히 모바일과 디스플레이 부문을 중심으로 하는 모노컬쳐적이고 대기업 의존적인 산업구조에 지나치게 고착되어 있어 지역산업위기를 극복하지 못하고 지역경제가 전반적으로 침체되어 있다. 기업차원에서는 2010년대 들어 대기업의 역외 이전이 활발해지면서 각종 환경 변화에 대한 대기업의 보호막이 축소되었다. 그 결과 영세한 중소기업들의 위기 요인들이 점차 국가적 국제적 스케일로 확대되고 보다 복합적으로 작용하게 되면서 그들이 감당할 수 있는 수준을 벗어나고 있어 현재의 산업위기가 심화될 가능성이 크다. 따라서 구미지역은 산업위기 극복에 있어서 환경 변화에 대응 적응할 수 있는 회복력의 강화가 요구된다. 이를 위해서는 기업차원에서 융 복합 기술에 기반한 혁신역량의 향상 및 사업다각화의 실현과 지역차원에서 기업과 산업의 자생적인 공진화를 통한 혁신 생태계 조성을 목표로 하는 산업위기대응특별지역 제도의 선정이 이루어져야 한다.

  • The paper examines dynamic relationship among 'Limit to Growth' factors in Korea using causal loop diagram. It also aims to explore policy implications for Korea in overcoming current difficulties and future crisis we may face. For this purpose, five factors -economy, population, resource, environment, food- used in the were adopted as an analytical framework. Findings show that Korea is fragile to external shock such as world economic crisis, food price surge, and resource price -including energy price- hike. High dependency of energy, food and resource on foreign market was found to be a major source of limit to growth in Korea. Furthermore, environmental problems like global warming could be a major external shock that could hit Korea harder than the rest of the world. Policy implications and measures for these problems were discussed too.

  • Risk assessment on Jeju Special Self-Governing Province(JSSGP)'s water supply facilities and establishment of adaptation measures for climate crisis factors were implemented. JSSGP's vulnerability to the climate crisis was high in the order of drought, heat wave, heavy rain and strong wind. As a drought adaptation measure, policies of water saving and revenue water ratio improvement were considered. As for the heat wave adaptation measure, the introduction of an advanced water treatment process was suggested in response to the increase of algae cell number which resulting in taste and odor problem. As for heavy rain adaptation measures, the installation and operation of automatic coagulant injection devices for water purification plants that take turbid surface water were proposed. As a measure to adapt to strong winds, stabilization of power supply such as installation of dual power line was proposed in preparation for power outages. It is expected that water facilities will be able to supply high-quality tap water to customers even under extreme climate conditions without interruption through risk assessment for climate crisis factors and active implementation of adaptation measures.

  • Purpose: This article aims to explore the distribution of technological innovation and environmental policy challenges to respond to COVID-19. The study also attempts to tackle a paradigm shift in science and technology policies against the pandemic and a desirable direction for environmental policies. The COVID-19 pandemic has been the one that rapidly changed global people's lifestyle. For the spread of a terrible infectious disease could not be avoided, regardless of a highly industrialized society. Research design, data and methodology: This study basically employs a qualitative approach as a methodology. This study is based on the fact that environmental pollution, various natural disasters continuously occur, and there are many unforeseeable parts, despite remarkable development of scientific technology, and that the circumstances are becoming more complex. Results: This study noted that scientific technology civilization formed due to industrial revolutions can deteriorate environment and increase environmental threat factors. As an alternative to this, this study investigates alternative discussions on how the 4th Industrial Revolution can help scientific technology and human environment to harmoniously coexist and develop. Conclusions: It implies that this study focuses on the possibility of overcoming this crisis through science and technology innovation, although mankind is in crisis of COVID-19 due to excessive human development.

  • 이 연구의 목적은 가족요인과 사회환경적 요인이 청소년의 학업중단 행동에 영향을 미치는 경로를 밝혀 청소년의 학업중단 행동을 예방 혹은 해결하기 위한 시사점을 찾으려는 것이다. 연구목적을 달성하기 위하여 J시 상담센터에 접수된 120명의 위기청소년을 대상으로 관련 변인을 측정한 후 자료를 분석하였다. 연구의 결과는 첫째, 가족 구조적 요인으로서 가정경제수준과 결손가정은 가족유대감과 일탈친구 요인을 매개로 학업중단 행동에 영향을 미친다. 둘째, 가족심리적 요인으로서 가족갈등은 학업중단의 직접적인 요인은 아니며, 가족유대감은 일탈친구와 무단결석 요인과 결합되어 학업중단 행동에 영향을 미친다. 셋째, 사회환경적 요인으로서 무단결석은 가족유대감과 일탈친구, 일탈친구는 가족유대감과 무단결석 요인을 매개로 학업중단 행동에 영향을 미친다. 이러한 연구 결과는 청소년의 학업중단 행동은 주로 가족심리적 요인으로서 가족유대감과, 사회환경적 요인으로서 일탈친구 요인이 가장 큰 영향을 미친다는 점을 확인시켜 주는 것이다. 따라서 이러한 요인의 개선 혹은 관련 프로그램의 개발 운영이 청소년의 학업중단 행동을 예방하고 개선하는 데 도움이 될 것이다.

  • The study analyzes divorce rates in Korea and makes suggestions for the future research of divorce rates. Based on the data from Korea Statistical Information System (KOSIS) of the National Statistics Organization, trends for divorce rates change and the relations between divorce rates and macro environmental factors are analyzed. Macro environmental factors include socioeconomic factors such as, Korean War, Vietnam War, oil shock, IMP economic crisis and gross national income (GNI), whereas demographical factors include population structure, rates of female labor participation, and geographical location. The principle characteristics of divorce rates are as follows: 1) the Crude divorce rates (CDR) and the number of divorced had been increased from 1970 to 2004, then the trend changed to a decrease; 2) the slope of the change were the highest during 1998 to 2004 after the IMP economic crisis. The relations between socioeconomic factors are as follows: 1) during the war there was a small increase of CDR for a short period of time; 2) the economic crisis of the nation tend to increase the CDR, while the IMP economic crisis had a strong impact on an increase of CDR because of the interaction effect among the population structure, women's sex role changes as well as the level of standard of living. The increase in CDR from 1990 to 2000 can be explained partly by the population of baby Boomers passing through their marriage and divorce process. The number of population residing in the rural area and the middle class households, and the mobility of population also had an impact on the divorce rates changes. The recommendations for the future research were as follows: 1) the need to develop new divorce statistics that are based on a marriage cohort or a birth cohort because family behavior is a mixture of personal, social and political responses, and because CDR is not an accurate measure of divorce rate since it was influenced by population structure; 2) the need to include micro personal factors as well as macro social factors in a model to find an interaction effect between those variables.
