  • This research is, first of all, a theoretical study concerning 'conflict.' Only then, we could obtain ways in which we manage and resolve various problems arising from conflicts in business between Korean and Chinese companies. In doing this, we also tried to grasp cultural characteristics, or factors, in Chinese ways of carrying out negotiations that lead to conflicts with us. On the basis of these preliminary considerations, we developed practical techniques of conflict management and types of negotiation strategy. We thereby could suggest broader strategic implications for better performance in international business. Concretely, this research investigates techniques of conflict management and types of negotiation strategy. For such techniques and types, we suggest, (1) Sharing technique or reconciliatory compromising negotiation and its compromise strategy, (2) collaborative technique or cooperative negotiation and its win-win strategy, (3) competitive technique or competitive negotiation and its profit-seeking attack strategy, (4) accommodative technique or receptive negotiation and its relation-maintaining yield strategy, (5) avoidant technique or evasive negotiation and its indifference-showing avoidance strategy. This research contributes to promote understanding on negotiation culture of chinese corporate. and we provide the guideline of the conflict management and the insight for the efficiency strategy of chinese business negotiation. But, empirical data and statistical examinations should be added to our present research for the future prospective ones.

  • As the ubiquitous computing technology (uT) is prevailing, applying uT is more likely to transform the legacy way of doing business to a new way with the goals of ubiquitous computing: strategic use of information resources by using them everywhere, every time, with any devices for any services. These opportunities naturally require the provision to assess the degree of the transformation from the legacy IT-based e-business to the uT-based business. However, research about assessing the degree of u-transformation has been still very few. Moreover, even deciding what is ubiquitous or not is obscure. Hence, this paper aims to propose the methodology for assessing the degree of u-transformation oriented by the teleology of ubiquitous service, which intends to fully make use of uT in creating new business of next generation. Through the literature review, we developed the methodology to check whether the provided service is ubiquitous or not based on the capabilities that technologies have. and then, the methodology developed to assess the technical requirements that the uT should have when the transformation is considered through the focus group interview based on the literature review of the capability. A two-layered approach is introduced to assess not only the level of ubiquity but also the degree of u-transformation.

  • e-Marketplace is a business concept which is importantly considered in the area of marketing. e-Marketplace provides the public field in which multi-purchasers can efficiently trade with multi-suppliers. Supply Chain Management(SCM) is being widely acknowledged by the development of information technology. SCM is well known as one of the key issues lately. The complexity of supply chains and the associated potential opportunities for gaining a competitive edge by designing a product and process to support supply chain management can be significant. In order to achieve successful implementation of supply chain management system, companies should understand some barriers in implementation and set up effective and integrated information system. Standardization of logistics is needed through the unification of EDI, Bar Code, Pallet and so on. It's effect is magnified on Efficient Consumer Response such as efficient store assortment, efficient replenishment, efficient promotion and efficient product introduction. International logistics management is the integration of key business processes from original suppliers to end user that provides products, services and information that add value for customers. e-Logistics is being used in managing the international logistics. In this study, three basic e-SCM models for the strategic implementation of supply chain management are suggested. Among them, the virtual company can be the best one we can develop in order to cope with the individualized customer needs.

  • The purpose of this paper is to examine how loyalty programs designed by retail stores affect customer retention. The present study is one of the few empirical studies finding the role of different loyalty programs that help to build customer retention. The study also seeks to explore the moderation role of customer perceived value between intrinsic motivation - customer retention and extrinsic motivation - customer retention. The researchers employed a quantitative research design to collect data from the 350 respondents who purchased goods from the retail chain/departmental stores in Bangladesh. The collected data are then analyzed using structural equation modeling. The result of their findings indicated that the size of the organizational reward has a positive effect on intrinsic and extrinsic motivation; further extrinsic motivation has a significant relation to customer retention. Surprisingly, no support was found for the positive impact of intrinsic motivation on customer retention. Customer perceived value (CPV) is critical as a moderator in building client retention, which improves the positive association between extrinsic motivation and customer retention. CPV, on the other hand, was found to mitigate the negative link between intrinsic motivation and client retention.

  • Globally, Fintech, which acts to replace existing intranational payment methods, is actively used, and such Fintech payments are widely accepted in international B2C trade. However, Fintech for B2B trade has not been released to the market thus far, and previous attempts at electronic international payment systems, such as Bolero, TradeCard, and Identrus, have not succeeded, and most of them have completely disappeared. On the other hand, there are continuing attempts to introduce Fintech technologies such as blockchain to international payments, and these attempts are more widely pursued in foreign countries. If international payments using Fintech are marketed through foreign services and such Fintech services become the de-facto standard for international payments, then Korea in which dependency on international trade is high will be vulnerable due to a dependency on foreign services such as relying on foreign SNS platforms like Facebook and Instagram. Therefore, this paper proposes a business model that can be used as a legitimate B2B trade international payment system on the basis of domestically provided services, focusing on various services afforded by K-SURE, which is the Korea Trade Insurance Corporation.

  • 최근 연구를 살펴보면 다국적기업이 국제경영 활동에서 국제기업가지향성은 기업성과의 향상에 아주 중요한 수단으로 인식되고 있지만 이들 관계는 다양한 연구결과를 보여주고 있다. 따라서 개발도상국인 중국 수출기업을 대상으로 선정하였을 때 이들 관계가 선형관계를 미치는지 아니면 비선형관계를 미치는지에 대한 검증은 매우 흥미로운 연구주제가 될 수 있다. 본 논문의 연구목적은 중국 수출기업을 대상으로 국제기업가지향성과 수출성과에 비선형의 영향을 미치는지를 검증하고, 국제화 정도와 시장역동성의 조절효과를 검증하고자 한다. 본 논문의 가설검증을 위해 사용된 설문지는 총 478부이다. 연구결과를 요약하면 첫째, 국제기업가지향성과 수출성과의 관계는 J형 관계인 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 국제화 정도는 국제기업가지향성과 수출성과의 J형 관계를 더욱 강화하는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 국제화정도가 높을수록 국제기업가지향성과 수출성과의 J형 관계는 강화되고 이러한 조절작용은 시장이 역동적일수록 더욱 강화되는 것으로 나타났다. 연구결과는 다음과 같은 이론적 기여와 경영적 기여를 한다. 이론적 기여로는 국제기업가지향성과 수출성과는 비선형 관계(J형)를 형성한다는 것이 확인되면서 국제기업가지향성과 수출성과의 관계를 새롭게 접근할 수 있는 실증적인 기여를 이루었다. 경영적 기여로는 역동적인 해외시장에서 국제화정도가 높은 중국기업은 수출성과의 향상을 위해서는 국제기업가지향성 행위를 지속적으로 실행해야 한다는 것을 시사한다.

  • 본 논문은 글로벌 비즈니스 협상과 신뢰요인 사이에 어떠한 관계가 있는지를 확인하는 데 연구목적을 두었다. 크리스틴 블랭클리(2010)는 비즈니스 협상에 있어서 각 단계별로 영향을 미치는 신뢰수준을 계산기반의 신뢰, 지식기반의 신뢰, 그리고 동일체기반의 신뢰 등 3가지 유형으로 나누어 지적한 바 있다. 이러한 관점에서 본 연구는 중국인 거래 파트너와의 비즈니스 협상경험을 가진 한국인과 캐나다인의 협상에 초점을 맞추어 각각의 신뢰수준과 비즈니스 협상 프로세스 사이의 상관 관계를 분석하였다. 연구 결과 한국 응답자들의 경우 계산기반의 신뢰와 동일체기반의 신뢰는 협상 분위기에 유의미한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타난 반면, 캐나다 응답자들의 경우는 유의미한 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 캐나다 응답자들은 비즈니스 협상과정에서 지식기반의 신뢰가 각 단계별로 가장 크게 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다.

  • On the stage of an international trade with well-developed transportation, communication system and proliferation of free trade, global companies who are eager to sustain business growth by cutting cost and pioneering new market are facing a new challenge named "Global Compliance" of business transparency, export and import regulations, and potential international business environment. The purpose of a global compliance is to monitor and regulate a company's trade activities to reduce the risk of transactions that might violate relevant countries' laws, regulations, or standards. After the 911, for strengthening the non-proliferation of the export control goods, UNSCR1540(United Nations Security Council Resolution 1540(2004)) was declared in order to enforce the members to adopt the rules in the resolution into their national laws and regulations. Companies does not realized that they need to get rid of the risks because they underestimate the importance of international security, caused by their careless management. That is why currently the export control program is not fully observed by the most. Lack of awareness for the export control and the poor system of each members could be the reason for this unstable operating status. With this background, this thesis will study on the meaning of export control, schemes for companies to recognize its importance and governmental guideline to support global companies.
