In this treatise, a survey was conducted on American female consumers to confirm the possibility of segmenting the American cosmetic industry by classifying lifestyles and analysing differences in consumer behavior, and also to provide global marketing strategy for entry into the American cosmetics industry by Korean companies. The results of the analysis provided three categories of American female consumer lifestyles. The first is the "practical conservative" type(58 people) who are fairly indifferent to or uninterested in external changes. The second is the "pro-active sensitive" type(48 people) who are interested in external changes and want to live a leading life. The last is the "neutral economical" type(54 people) who resemble characteristics that are in between the previous two types. The study has showed there was a difference in consumer motivation, considerations during selection, factors associated with shop choice according to consumer classification. It provides evidence that lifestyles can be a criteria in segmenting the American cosmetics market.

In order to expand its entry into not only the domestic construction market but also overseas global markets, it is necessary to secure technological competitiveness, and as a fundamental measure, it is necessary to increase the proportion of R&D investment and establish and revitalize R&D organizations. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to analyze construction sales and construction R&D investment for global construction companies in Korea and Japan, derive implications, and provide basic data for government policy establishment and global construction company strategy establishment. As a result of analyzing R&D investments in construction companies in Korea and Japan, it can be seen that Japanese construction companies have higher R&D investment costs compared to sales compared to Korea. In particular, the proportion of R&D investment continues to increase year-on-year, strengthening global competitiveness due to technology development. In addition, Japanese construction companies have established a technology research institute to discover and conduct future R&D research such as advanced IT, disaster prevention, and environment.

This study is an attempt to identify factors determining the success of international standardization and understand the relationship between the factors, such as government-driven standardization activities. Six factors were identified through factor analysis; namely, 'Direct government support', 'Indirect government support', 'Utilization of standardization bodies', 'Standardization strategy', 'Attainment of a dominant market power', and 'Adoption as an international standard.' The results showed that firstly, support from the government, whether direct or indirect, had no direct effect on the outcome of international standardization efforts, but produced an indirect influence on it through mediating factors such as the attainment of a dominant market power. Secondly, the attainment of a dominant market power proved to be the most important success factor of international standardization, suggesting that the government must direct its efforts to help boost the market power of target standards through measures like promoting a timely market entry and the development of high-quality standards, in a manner to induce market satisfaction, increasing lock-in effects and building a quasi-vertical integration system. Thirdly, direct support from the government holds the key to the success of international standardization with de jure standardization bodies, while the strategic use of standardization bodies appears the most important for the positive outcome of standardization concerning de facto standardization bodies.

In 2011, the overall construction markets in KOREA are highly depressed due to decreases in orders of domestic construction markets in both private and public field. Also, we are losing competitive advantages over Chinese and Indian companies owing to the market shares on plant construction projects excessively. It is recognizable, under the circumstances that we are in interior position on high value technique to other advanced countries, that the orders of mega building and plant construction projects tend to be placed through the" Pre-construction Service", the importance of which has been emphasized domestically and internationally in recent time. However, current domestic construction companies show scarcity in understanding the general idea of the Pre-construction Service and fail in building proper structure of it. It is obvious that they cannot have any competent strategy to deal with Pre-construction Service. The Purpose of this paper is to analyze the core competence throughout preconstruction phase and, and make up for the weakness in the current pre-construction service process.

This research aimed to design and develop a mobile-website mixed business model and smartphone based mobile application for the purpose of mobile fashion content distribution. We have implemented a mobile interface and trading system supporting self production of content, use, share, and user's self-up. And we proposed its market access strategy for the expansion of fashion contents transactions. To do this, the existing status of research and benchmarking for mobile app of fashion contents related were studied. As a result of the study, Android, iOS-based mobile applications were developed, but there are some business problems such as low awareness, low entry barriers, and the poor fashion content compared to the size of industry. Because this system provide the fashion contents of affiliated companies to users, it needs to expand cooperation and to promote the partnership with fashion blog, cafes, and fashion magazines.

The purpose of this study was to propose an efficient and feasible global market entry strategy for the Korean apparel industry by analyzing the Italian fashion industry. In particular, the study investigated the role of foreign exhibitions and showrooms supported and organized by Italian fashion organizations. The methodology for this study was to analyze industrial reports, review previous studies and conduct in-depth interviews with 23 industry experts in Italy, Korea and LA. The results indicated that the most prominent factor in the Italian fashion industry was the fashion cluster, which is a strong and organic network of diverse fashion related areas No matter the size of the enterprise, firms can get practical, prompt and efficient support from diverse associations. The network operated by the associations provides strong support to each firm by organizing collections and exhibitions, and providing promotional activities. Showrooms and agents are another supportive "gate keeper", directly related to an enterprise's sales. However, Korean fashion firms did not have enough information or knowledge for foreign exhibitions, nor did they make aggressive promotional efforts in the global market. Despite the many fashion-related associations exist in Korea, their programs are too focused on visible accomplishments and are too oriented on "big company" and "big voice", rather than many "small firms". In conclusion, the Korean fashion industry-particularly the fashion industry in Seoul-has strong potential to become the center of the global fashion market in the future. However, the fashion support system that can act as the channel to promote firms and to meet global buyers needs to be supplemented. To feasibly create this system, government or industry associations should develop a strong and generous support system and network, and they must recognize the need for small firms to exist.
