In deriving the economic order quantity (EOQ) formula, it is tacitly assumed that the buyer has to pay product price while receiving the product from the supplier. However, as a marketing policy, some suppliers permit a delay in payments to the buyers to increase demand for the product they made. Credit transactions would have a positive effect on both suppliers and buyers. For a supplier who offers trade credit, it is an effective means of price differentiation to increase the demand for the product. Availability of opportunity to delay the payment in buyer effectively reduces the cost of holding stocks and therefore, the buyer has a lot of price options to choose his sales price for a customer. Since the buyer's order is affected by the customer's demand, the problems of determining the sales price and EOQ are interdependent and must be solved simultaneously. From this perspective, this paper evaluates the problem of determining the optimal sales price and EOQ for the buyer at the same time when the supplier allows a delay in payments for the product whose demand is represented as a function that decreases linearly with the sales price. For the analysis, it is also assumed that inventory is exhausted not only by customer's but also by decay.

Globalization of economy brings both opportunities and threats especially for companies in developing countries such as Korea. Globalization is an opportunity because it may expand the size of market for the company where globalization brings a threat for developing global competitiveness. If the company has already built competitive advantage in its business domain, the company can easily transfer market growth to profit improvement. However, if the company has not developed competitive advantage, globalization of economy will give a serious threat for the survivor of the company. The company might lose its own domestic market share. For the less famous brand of product or company name, international expansion is a challenging strategy. The study evaluated organizational performance of companies that try international expansion by utilizing Miles and Snow's strategy typology. We clustered organizations based on their strategy typology (prospector, analyzer, defender, and reactor) in view of the level of product diversification, new product development instances, level of localization, and autonomy of foreign subsidiary. With the strategy typology, we evaluated international strategy in view of product competitiveness, marketing strategy, human resource strategy, and organizational strategy. The regression result demonstrates that the performance of the company is significantly higher when the company employs prospector strategy. We also found out that product quality and emphasis for developed countries in international expansion are the most important factors for success.

이 논문은 1980년대 이후 한국에서 영화의 사회적 위상이 올라가는 과정을 사회학적으로 살펴보았다. 특히 영화의 위상 변화는 사회에서 문화적 가치를 인정받는 정당화 과정으로 인식하고, 이에 영향을 미치는 사회적 동력을 탐색하였다. 이를 위해 사회운동 이론에서 다루는 기회구조 개념을 논의의 배경으로 삼았다. 기회구조는 동원집단(=영화계) 외부에 존재하는 변수를 의미하며, 본론에서 기회와 위협요인으로 제시된다. 영화의 정당화 과정에 기회로 작용한 요소는 80년대 민중문화운동을 통한 영화 신진 인력의 투입이다. 반면, 위협요소는 미국 영화계의 산업적인 침투와 이에 대한 영화시장의 개방이다. 각각의 요소는 영화계 외부의 변수로 작용하였고, 영화의 정당화 과정에 있어 보완재와 경쟁재로 작용하였다. 1980년대 이후 민중문화 운동은 영화를 의미 있는 문화적 산물로 정당화 하는데 영향을 주었다. 또한, 미국 영화계의 위협은 한국 영화계 내부의 합리성과 경쟁구도를 역동적으로 변화시켰다.

이 연구의 목적은 제품이라는 도메인에 보다 집중된 감성 디자인의 논의를 이끌어내고, 이에 대한 실행적인 접근을 통하여 실제로 디자이너가 제품을 디자인함에 있어 감성적 접근을 하는데 도움이 될 수 있는 기반을 마련하는 것에 있다. 감성의 중요성이 증대하였지만 감성의 논의는 추상적인 수준에 머무르거나 오감이라는 감각에만 집중되고 있으며, 이는 제품이라는 도메인에서 감성적인 접근을 할 때에도 적용하기 어려운 수준이거나 한정적인 부분만을 포괄할 수 있을 뿐이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 제품이라는 도메인에 보다 집중된 실행적 차원에서의 감성의 논의를 위해 'Emotionalized Product'의 개념을 제안하고, 규명을 진행하였다. 규명의 결과물로 EP 매체, EP 절차, EP 차원, EP 캐릭터, EP 가치라는 'Emotionalized Product(EP)' 접근에 유효한 5가지 관점이 도출되었고, 이를 바탕으로 EP의 정의를 실행적 관점에서 내렸다. 이어 EP와 제품과의 결합에 필요한 2가지의 관점, 도메인 구조와 EP 기회가 도출되었다. EP의 실행적 정의와 제품과의 결합 관점을 토대로 최종적으로 크게 2가지의 관점, 귀납적 프로세스와 연역적 프로세스로 구성되는 EP의 디자인 프로세스를 제안하여 공유가능한 EP 디자인 시스템의 기반을 마련하도록 하였고, 보다 성공적인 감성적 접근으로 제품을 디자인하는 데 도움이 되도록 하였다.

All firms require new stimulus to spurt growth. Therefore it is necessary to successfully develop new products and to employ appropriate marketing practices for the new products to enter and settle in the market. Binggrae, a Korean company that specializes in dairy and processed dairy products, introduced a ready-to-drink (RTD) coffee product, 'a Café la' to expand its business into the coffee market in 2008. Binggrae was a latecomer in the RTD coffee market but a Café la has shown an impressive average sales growth rate of 115% as of 2011 since the launch. Moreover, it is a steady bestselling coffee brand among the Polyethylene terephthalate (PET)bottle category. Binggrae found potential and opportunity in the growing coffee market and made efforts to develop a new product that can be differentiated from the existing products. The result was PET bottle coffee, which was more portable and convenient to drink than coffee products offered in cups or cans. PET bottle coffee is produced through the patented Aseptic Filing System, thus the original coffee flavor stays fresh when combined with milk and has a longer shelf life than coffee products in cups. Moreover, as the taste of coffee consumers has become more sophisticated, Binggrae developed a premium product by differentiating the product processing method and by using higher-quality Arabica beans. After launching the new product, the company also employed a well-designed communication strategy. First, Binggrae was able to confirm the level of market demand and market potential for the product by employing BTL (Below the Line) marketing strategies through the consumers' word-of-mouth. Afterwards, the company invested its resources for a full-scale ATL (Above the Line) marketing campaign. Later a Café la's TV commercial effectively portrayed the product's characteristics, and succeeded in raising consumer awareness of the product. As a result, a Café la has become the bestselling brand in the PET bottle coffee market. The successful new product marketing strategy of Binggrae'sa Café la offers many valuable implications for companies planning to launch new products in the future.

Product liability (PL), which began enforcement in 2002, refers to the legal responsibility of the manufacturers or sellers (wholesales or retailers) for the property damage or bodily harm caused by their product. With a strong enforcement of the Product Liability (PL) Act, companies are required to structure and operate a response system to defend or prevent product accidents efficiently, but small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are unable to respond more aggressively due to limitation of management resources. In this manner, it is important to develop response strategies for SMEs to efficiently cope with the PL Act. In this paper, the PEST (Political, Economic, Social, and Technological) analysis is performed to reveal the impact of the PL Act on SMEs in macro-economic point of view. To formulate SME's PL response strategy, SWOT analysis is performed to categorize each factors from PEST analysis and AHP is applied to identify the intensities of SWOT factors. The prioritized SWOT factor, results of PEST-SWOT-AHP analysis, are used to formulate SME's PL response strategies. The study results are briefly summarized as follows. To reduce product defects, it is necessary for SMEs to formulate PL response strategies for each phase of the product life cycle by continuously collecting and analyzing PL cases in the same industry or for similar products. In addition, SMEs should invest more technological effort to ensure product safety. Further, SMEs should spread PL awareness to all staff members by training internal PL experts. Moreover, a SME should enroll in PL insurance and spread this information to its customers so that they become aware that the company is proactively conforming to the PL law.

This study examines factors determining contemporary Chinese households' food away from home (FAFH) expenditures using Becker's household production theory. Data came from the 2000 urban household survey in Guangdong Province, collected by National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) of China. It was revealed that the contemporary urban Chinese wives also substitute their household work by time-saving product, FAFH, as Becker's household production theory postulated. This suggests the important role of time-value (opportunity cost) in determining household FAFH expenditure across the cultures.

Solid freeform fabrication technology, widely known as rapid prototyping an rapid tooling, can create physical part directly from digital model by accumulating layers of a given material. Providing a tremendous flexibility of a part geometry that they can fabricate, these technologies present a opportunity or the creation of new products that can not be made with existing technologies. For this to be possible, however, various design environments including different fabrication processes needs to be considered at the time of design, and finding an appropriate design solution for the new product by combining necessary design communications become increasingly complex as environmental condition become diverse. This paper proposes a geometric modeling paradigm for design and fabrication of a new product, honeycomb structural geometry.
