In these days, international construction market including construction companies has much grown due to globalization and economic boom in the mid 2000's. The size of international construction market, measured with overseas revenue of 225 construction firms, has expanded 2.7 times from 2003 to 2008 according to the ENR. However, after the global financial crisis of 2008 it has faced condition of low growth. In this research, major changes of international construction market and top contractors have been studied. In this study, changes of international construction market have been analyzed in the aspect of region and product including general buildings, transportation, petroleum, etc. Then, in order to find the changes of top contractors which obtained good accomplishment, business performance of companies have been examined by the compound annual growth rate, profit margin and international revenue by comparing the data before 2008 and after. The purpose of the study is to understand major changes of international construction market. Also, strategy changes of top contractors against market stagnation, profit depreciation, high competition have been inferred through the study. The result of the study would contribute to analyzing the strategies of construction companies in international market.

Following the global financial crisis, the global value chain contracted, and characteristics of "reverse globalization" of the economy and trade gradually emerged. This is due to the term "reverse globalization" referring to a shift away from globalization. Within a short period of time, the phenomenon known as "reverse globalization" developed as an inescapable obstacle, coinciding with the development and dissemination of the COVID-19 virus. At some time in the distant future, the "reverse globalization" of economic trade and the "globalization" of the digital economy will co-dominate the shifting trend of the global economic landscape. This will happen gradually over time. The goal of this research is to look at the minor changes that happened in the methods and techniques used by the economic mechanism known as "globalization against the flow." It employs Chinese smart manufacturing companies as a model and proposes a digital drive model to investigate the prospects and constraints of smart manufacturing technology enterprise innovation development under "reverse globalization," with the goal of establishing a digital innovation development path. The theoretical insights given in this study have the potential to serve as a reference for China as it attempts to build a new growth pattern based on a double-cycle and promote a new type of globalization.

Available data on the recent global financial crisis (GFC) show that it lasted between the second quarter (Q2) of 2007 and the fourth quarter (Q4) of 2009. Australia is one of the first economies to fully recover from this crisis. This study explorles the role played by the Australian construction industry in stimulating economic growth during the recession. In order to investigate the macro-variability trend during the financial crisis, data were collected and analysed relating to the quarterly GDP of Australia and selected countries between Q1 2000 and Q4 2009. Specifically, changes in the construction industry's GDP were compared with aggregate GDP changes in Australian economy and similar indices in the 'Group of 7' (G7) countries and Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries. Moreover, specific attention was focused on Germany, France, Japan, United States of America (USA) and United Kingdom (UK). Graphical and Pearson's correlation methods were used to analyse the relationships between changes in construction GDP and Australia's overall economic growth during the recession. In addition, an attempt was made to develop a regression model for predicting economic growth during the recent recession using changes in gross fixed capital formation (GFCF), changes in construction GDP and the impact of these changes on national economy. Analysis shows a slight contraction in construction activities during the crisis; however construction triggered significant growth in the economy during the crisis period and afterwards. This appears to be the major difference between Australia and other major economies that have experienced a longer recession.

글로벌 경제의 성장 패러다임이 창조경제 체제로 변화하고 있다. 이러한 변화가 가져올 결과를 제대로 이해하기 위해서 나아가 바람직한 미래의 창조경제를 위해서, 그리고 ICT의 역할은 무엇인지에 대해서 살펴보고자 한다. 창조경제는 경제성장론에 바탕을 두고 있다. 신경제 체제에서 ICT 부문에 대한 투자를 통해 인플레이션 없는 지속적 성장 또는 주어진 인플레이션 하에서 보다 높은 수준의 지속 가능한 성장을 달성할 수 있게 된다. 그러나 미국에서와 달리 국내에서는 신경제 현상이 유의하게 나타나지 않았다. 신경제보다는 요소투입에 의존하는 성장 패턴을 보였기 때문이다. ICT는 신경제(디지털 경제)로의 이행을 위한 필수적 요소이긴 하나 그 자체로 생산성 및 성장을 전부 설명하는 것은 아니라고 평가된다. 관건은 어떻게 정보통신 및 기술발전을 타 산업에 확산시키는지의 여부에 달려 있다. ICT는 그 자체가 창조산업이거나 창조경제가 아니라 enabler로서 제대로 역할을 할 수 있어야 한다. 창조경제는 신경제론의 연장선에 볼 수도 있다. 자본과 노동력 요소 투자 이외에 문화적 자산과 인적 자원(Human resource)을 투여하여 가치를 생산해 내는 경제를 의미한다. 그러나 투입요소의 변화에 국한되면, 진정한 의미의 창조경제를 기대하기 어렵다. 그러한 의미에서 창조경제는 정권 5년 정책이슈가 아니라 미래지향적이어야 하며 단순히 투입요소에 창의력이 추가되는 차원을 넘어 through-put이라고 할 시스템의 변화가 수반되어야 한다. 여기에 ICT의 역할이 있다.

이 논문은 싱가포르 정부가 어떻게 싱가포르의 장소마케팅을 위한 수단으로 "세계도시" 이미지 전략을 사용하는가를 탐구하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 1990년대부터 싱가포르는 그 자신을 "창조적이고", "문화적으로 활기차며", "코스모폴리탄"한 세계도시라고 이미지화하기 위한 장소마케팅 전략을 추진해 왔고, 이를 위해 여러 다양한 문화, 관광, 공간 정책수단들을 사용하였다. 이 논문에서 필자는 싱가포르 정부의 이러한 이미지화 전략은 싱가포르 경제를 지식기반 경제로 전환하려는 경제재편 프로그램과 밀접히 관련되며, 이는 장소마케팅을 통해 국제적인 지식 노동자들을 끌어들이는 것이 경쟁력과 혁신을 이끌어내는데 핵심적이라는 믿음에 기인한다. 이와 더불어 이 논문은 이러한 이미지 전략의 한계에 대해서도 논하는데, 특히 싱가포르 사회에서 어떻게 글로발과 로칼 간의 긴장이 증가하고 있는지, 그리고 어떻게 싱가포르의 권위적이고 하향식의 통치체제로 인해 진정한 의미의 "문화적으로 활기한" 환경을 조성하는데 제약이 생기는지 살펴볼 것이다.

Purpose - Semiconductors are a significant export item for Korea that is expected to continue to contribute significantly to the Korean economy in the future. Thus, the semiconductor industry is a critical component in the 4th Industrial Revolution and is expected to continue growing as the non-face-to-face economy expands as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. In this context, this paper aims to empirically investigate how semiconductors are imported and exported in Korea from a global supply chain perspective by analysing import and export data at the micro-level. Design/methodology - This study conducts a multifaceted analysis of the global supply chain for semiconductors and related equipment in Korea by examining semiconductor imports and exports by semiconductor type, year, target country, mode of transportation, airport/port, and domestic region, using import/export micro-data. The visualisation, flow analysis, and Bayesian Network methodologies were used to compensate for the limitations of each method. Findings - Korea is a major exporter of semiconductor memory and has the world's highest competitiveness but is relatively weak in the field of system semiconductors. The trade deficit in 'semiconductor equipment and parts' is clearly growing. As a result, continued investment in 'system semiconductors' and 'semiconductor equipment and parts' technology development is necessary to boost exports and ensure a stable supply chain. Originality/value - Few papers on semiconductor trade in Korea have been published from the perspective of the global supply chain or value chain. This study contributes to the literature in this area by focusing on import and export data for the global supply chain of the Korean semiconductor industry using a variety of approaches. It is our hope that the insights gained from this study will aid in the advancement of SCM research.
