City Diplomacy, with its relational and global communicative components, becomes a strong link in the chain of extending the diplomatic mindset and performative practice in a social context, thus responding to societal expectations. Some lessons from Corporate Diplomacy as a policy valorizing sociability and interactionism provide assertive guidance to overcome the challenges to global City power. This Practitioner's Essay is building on diplomatic experience to outline innovative tendencies in contemporary practice and the effectiveness of Corporate Diplomacy as the Cities' soft power for cooperative solutions with regard to core global issues. The COVID pandemic serves as an example for city health diplomacy.

In this study, the current state of management efficiency of ocean carriers in Korea and the factors affecting them were analyzed. The purpose of this research is to enhance global competitiveness of ocean carriers by presenting suggestions that can improve management efficiency based on the analysis results. The measurement of management efficiency was made using the DEA model. The results of testing the adequacy of the input and output variables used are as follows. Appropriate inputs are total assets, cost of goods sold, charter expenses, sales and general management expenses, and interest expenses. Appropriate variables are sales, operating income, and operating cash flow. According to the analysis results of the DEA model by these variables, inefficient carriers (78%) are nearly four times more than efficient carriers(22%). However, container carriers have the most improved management efficiency compared to 2016 and 2017. According to the panel regression analysis, the charter rate has the greatest negative impact on efficiency (CRS), and the debt rate has a significant negative impact. Thus, it appears that reducing the charter size and the debt-to-sale rate facilitate improvement of the management efficiency of ocean carriers. Additionally, the pre-sales tax return rate, value added rate, total asset turnover rate, and the scale variable and interest coverage rate have a positive (+) effect. Thus ocean carriers should restore their global competitiveness by improving management efficiency by securing stable cargoes increasing sales profitability from the cost management perspective, increasing productivity, and enhancing the efficiency of their total assets through efficient fleet management.

It has been 15 years since Jeju Island first was designated as one of UNESCO Biosphere Reserve areas. Jeju currently holds 5 UNESCO designations and the UNFAO Globally Important Agricultural Heritage (GIAHS). The 5 UNESCO global heritages that Jeju honors are the World Natural Heritage, Biosphere Reserve, Global Geoparks Network, Chilmeoridanggut Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH) and JejuHaenyeo ICH. The UNFAO GIAHS that Jeju honors is Jeju Batdam Agricultural Heritage System. Those global titles are highly valued and recognized for environmental preservation and those global designations have attracted more visitors to the island. It is essential to see if Jeju global level heritages are recognized as they deserve attentions from home and abroad yet no holistic analysis on those 6 global level designations as a whole has been progressed to see the perception level among residents and visitors. The study aims to see the perception level of Jeju global Heritages, impact of global recognitions and the channels of the perception level. UNESCO World Natural Heritage and Haenyeo ICH have showed the highest perception level due to designation process and the amount of promotion by the managing division of Jeju municipality. The routine survey as per the result of the study regarding the perception level of those global designations could benefit Jeju tourism direction and help to preserve the island and culture.

The paradigm of IT ecosystem has been rapidly changing into open ecosystem irrespective of the territory on which the device, software and contents are located. IT venture ecosystem which can compete and collaborate with the global companies is really needed because the global opportunity of IT venture company has been expanding. Research model based on PEST-SWOT-AHP(Analytic Hierarchy Process) model was employed to analyze the current status and problems of IT venture ecosystem in Korea. Survey was conducted with 20 experts who are involved in venture companies, university, R&D research institute, and investment companies as a working group supported by the Ministry of Knowledge Economy (MKE). The empirical result showed that global promotion of IT ventures, coexistence and development of large enterprises and ventures, revitalization of investment infrastructure, and building of smart venture ecosystem are derived to revitalize IT venture ecosystem and suggested global revitalization model for smart IT venture ecosystem.
