  • It has been forty years since the implementation of National Health Insurance (NHI) in South Korea. Following the 1977 legislature mandating medical insurance for employees and dependents in firms with more than 500 employees, South Korea expanded its health insurance to urban residents in 1989. Resultantly, total expenses of the National Health Insurance Service (NHIS) have greatly increased from 4.5 billion won in 1977 to 50.89 trillion won in 2016. With multiple insurers merging into the NHI system in 2000, a single-payer healthcare system emerged, along with separation policy of prescribing and dispensing. Following such reform, an emerging financial crisis required injections from the National Health Promotion Fund. Forty years following the introduction of the NHI system, both praise and criticism have been drawn. In just 12 years, the NHI achieved the fastest health population coverage in the world. Current medical expenditure is not high relative to the rest of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. The quality of acute care in Korea is one of the best in the world. There is no sign of delayed diagnosis and/or treatment for most diseases. However, the NHI has been under-insured, requiring high-levels of out-of-pocket money from patients and often causing catastrophic medical expenses. Furthermore, the current environmental circumstances of the NHI are threatening its sustainability. Low birth rate decline, as well as slow economic growth, will make sustainment of the current healthcare system difficult in the near future. An aging population will increase the amount of medical expenditure required, especially with the baby-boomer generation of those born between 1955 and 1965. Meanwhile, there is always the problem of unification for the Korean Peninsula, and what role the health insurance system will have to play when it occurs. In the presidential election, health insurance is a main issue; however, there is greater focus on expansion and expenditure than revenue. Many aspects of Korea's NHI system (1977) were modeled after the German (1883) and Japanese (1922) systems. Such systems were created during an era where infections disease control was most urgent and thus, in the current non-communicable disease (NCD) era, must be redesigned. The Korean system, which is already forty years old, must be redesigned completely. Although health insurance benefit expansion is necessary, financial measures, as well as moral hazard control measures, must also be considered. Ultimately, there are three aspects that we must consider when attempting redesign of the system. First, the health security system must be reformed. NHI and Medical Aid must be amalgamated into one system for increased effectiveness and efficiency of the system. Within the single insurer system of the NHI must be an internal market for maximum efficiency. The NHIS must be separated into regions so that regional organizers have greater responsibility over their actions. Although insurance must continue to be imposed nationally, risk-adjustment must be distributed regionally and assessed by different regional systems. Second, as a solution for the decreasing flow of insurance revenue, low premium level must be increased to an appropriate level. Likewise, the national reserve fund (No. 36, National Health Insurance Act) must be enlarged for re-unification preparation. Third, there must be revolutionary reform of benefit package. The current system built a focus on communicable diseases which is inappropriate in this NCD era. Medical benefits must not be one-time events but provide chronic disease management. Chronic care models, accountable care organization, patient-centered medical homes, and other systems that introduce various benefit packages for beneficiaries must be implemented. The reimbursement system of medical costs should be introduced to various systems for different types of care, as is the case with part C (Medicare Advantage Program) of America's Medicare system that substitutes part A and part B. Pay for performance must be expanded so that there is not only improvement in quality of care but also medical costs. Moreover, beneficiaries of the NHI system must be aware of the amount of their expenditure through a deductible payment system so that spending can be profiled and monitored. The Moon Jae-in Government has announced its plans to expand the NHI system; however, it is important that a discussion forum is created so that more accurate analysis of the NHI, its environments, and current status of health care system, can take place for reforming NHI.

  • The National Defense Reformation bill of "National Defense Reformation 2020" which have been constantly disputed and reformed by the government went through various levels of complementary measures after the North Korean sinking on the Republic of Korea (ROK) Naval Vessel "Cheonan". The final outcome of this reform is also known as the 307 Plan and this was announced on the 8th March. The reformed National Defense Reformation is to reduce the number of units and military personnel under the military structure reformation. However, in order for us to undertake successful National Defense Reformation, the use of privatized civilian resources are essential. Therefore according to this theory, the ROK Ministry of National Defense (MND) have selected the usage of privatized resources as one of the main core agenda for the National Defense Reformation management procedures, and under this agenda the MND plans to further expand the usage of private Especially the MND plans to minimize the personnel resources applied in non-combat areas and in turn use these supplemented personnel with optimization. In order to do this, the MND have initiated necessary appropriate analysis over the whole national defense section by understanding various projects and acquisition requests required by each militaries and civilian research institutions. However for efficient management of privatized civilian resources, first of all, those possible efficient private resources which can achieve optimization will need to be identified, and secondly continuous systematic reinforcements will need to be made in private resource usage legislations. Furthermore, we would need to consider the possibility of labor disputes because of privatization expansion. Therefore, full legal and systematic complementary measures are required in all possible issue arising areas which can affect the combat readiness posture. There is another problem of huge increase in operational expenses as reduction of standby forces are only reducing the number of soldiers and filling these numbers with more cost expensive commissioned officers. However, to overcome this problem, we would need to reduce the number of positions available for active officers and fill these positions with military reserve personnel who previously had working experiences with the related positions (thereby guaranteeing active officers re-employment after completing active service). This would in tum maintain the standards of combat readiness posture and reduce necessary financial budgets which may newly arise. The area of maintenance, supply, transportation, training & education duties which are highly efficient when using privatized resources, will need to be transformed from military management based to civilian management based system. For maintenance, this can be processed by integrating National Maintenance Support System. In order for us to undertake this procedure, we would need to develop maintenance units which are possible to be privatized and this will in turn reduce the military personnel executing job duties, improve service quality and prevent duplicate investments etc. For supply area, we will need to establish Integrated Military Logistics Center in-connection with national and civilian logistics system. This will in turn reduce the logistics time frame as well as required personnel and equipments. In terms of transportation, we will need to further expand the renting and leasing system. This will need to be executed by integrating the National Defense Transportation Information System which will in turn reduce the required personnel and financial budgets. Finally for training and education, retired military personnel can be employed as training instructors and at the military academy, further expansion in the number of civilian professors can be employed in-connection with National Defense Reformation. In other words, more active privatized civilian resources will need to be managed and used for National Defense Reformation.

  • This case focuses on Shanghai Tang, the first truly Chinese luxury brand that appeals to both Westerners and, more recently, to Chinese consumers worldwide. A visionary and wealthy businessman Sir David Tang created this company from scratch in 1994 in Hong Kong. Its story, spanned over almost two decades, has been fascinating. It went from what best a Chinese brand could be in the eyes of Westerners who love the Chinese culture, to a nearly-bankrupted company in 1998, before being acquired by Richemont, the second largest luxury group in the world. Since then, its turnaround has been spectacular with a growing appeal among Chinese luxury consumers who represent the core segment of the luxury industry today. The main objective of this case study is to formally examine how Shanghai Tang overcame its downfall and re-emerged as one the very few well- known Chinese luxury brands. More specifically, this case highlights the ways with which Shanghai Tang made a transitional change from a brand for Westerners who love the Chinese culture, to a brand for both, Westerners who love the Chinese culture and Chinese who love luxury. A close examination reveals that Shanghai Tang has followed the brand identity concept that consists of two major components: functional and emotional. The functional component for developing a luxury brand concerns all product characteristics that will make a product 'luxurious' in the eyes of the consumer, such as premium quality of cachemire from Mongolia, Chinese silk, lacquer, finest leather, porcelain, and jade in the case of Shanghai Tang. The emotional component consists of non-functional symbolic meanings of a brand. The symbolic meaning marks the major difference between a premium and a luxury brand. In the case of Shanghai Tang, its symbolic meaning refers to the Chinese culture and the brand aims to represent the best of Chinese traditions and establish itself as "the ambassador of modern Chinese style". It touches the Chinese heritage and emotions. Shanghai Tang has reinvented the modern Chinese chic by drawing back to the stylish decadence of Shanghai in the 1930s, which was then called the "Paris of the East", and this is where the brand finds inspiration to create its own myth. Once the functional and emotional components assured, Shanghai Tang has gone through a four-stage development to become the first global Chinese luxury brand: introduction, deepening, expansion, and revitalization. Introduction: David Tang discovered a market gap and had a vision to launch the first Chinese luxury brand to the world. The key success drivers for the introduction and management of a Chinese luxury brand are a solid brand identity and, above all, a creative mind, an inspired person. This was David Tang then, and this is now Raphael Le Masne de Chermont, the current Executive Chairman. Shanghai Tang combines Chinese and Western elements, which it finds to be the most sustainable platform for drawing consumers. Deepening: A major objective of the next phase is to become recognized as a luxury brand and a fashion or design authority. For this purpose, Shanghai Tang has cooperated with other well-regarded luxury and lifestyle brands such as Puma and Swarovski. It also expanded its product lines from high-end custom-made garments to music CDs and restaurant. Expansion: After the opening of his first store in Hong Kong in 1994, David Tang went on to open his second store in New York City three years later. However this New York retail operation was a financial disaster. Barely nineteen months after the opening, the store was shut down and quietly relocated to a cheaper location of Madison Avenue. Despite this failure, Shanghai Tang products found numerous followers especially among Western tourists and became "souvenir-like" must-haves. However, despite its strong brand DNA, the brand did not generate enough repeated sales and over the years the company cumulated heavy debts and became unprofitable. Revitalizing: After its purchase by Richemont in 1998, Le Masne de Chermont was appointed to lead the company, reposition the brand and undertake some major strategic changes such as revising the "Shanghai Tang" designs to appeal not only to Westerners but also to Chinese consumers, and to open new stores around the world. Since then, Shanghai Tang has become synonymous to a modern Chinese luxury lifestyle brand.

  • Even after S. Korea took 5.24 Measure(24 May 2014), N. Korea has not stopped raising provocations such as the shelling of Yeonpyeong Island, electronic and cyber attacks. To make matters worse, the communist country lunched long-range missiles(twice) and conducted 3rd nuclear test, escalating tensions which could possibly lead to an all-out war. Korean Government failed to respond properly. However, escalation into an all-out war was deterred by the CFC immediately carrying out its peacetime duty(CODA). The US made a rapid dispatch of its augmentation forces(Aircraft carrier, nuclear-powered submarine, strategic bomber, F-22) to the Korean Peninsula. In recognition of the importance of the Combined Forces Command, since May 2013 the Park Geun-Hye Administration has been pushing ahead with re-postponement of Wartime Operational Control Transfer(which initially meant the disassembling of the CFC as of 1 December 2015) More recently, there has been a series of unusual indicators from the North. Judging from its inventory of 20 nuclear weapons, 1,000 ballistic missiles and biochemical weapons, it is safe to say that N. Korea has gained at least war deterrence against S. Korea. Normally a nation with nuclear weapons shrink its size of conventional forces, but the North is pursuing the opposite, rather increasing them. In addition, there was a change of war plan by N. Korea in 2010, changing 'Conquering the Korean Peninsula' to 'Negotiation after the seizure of the Greater Seoul Metropolitan Area(GSMA)' and establishing detailed plans for wartime projects. The change reflects the chain reaction in which requests from pro-north groups within the South will lead to the proclamation of war. Kim, Jeong-Un, leader of N. Korean regime, sent threatening messages using words such as 'exercising a nuclear preemptive strike right' and 'burning of Seoul'. Nam, Jae-June, Director of National Intelligence Service, stated that Kim, Jung-Un is throwing big talks, saying communization of the entire Korean Peninsula will come within the time frame of 3 years. Kim, Gwan-Jin, Defense Minister, shared an alarming message that there is a high possibility that the North will raise local provocations or a full-fledged war whenever while putting much emphasis on defense posture. As for the response concept of the Korean Government, it has been decided that 'ROK·US Combined Local Provocation Counter-Measure' will be adopted to act against local provocations from the North. Major provocation types include ▲ violation of the Northern Limit Line(NLL) with mobilization of military ships ▲ artillery provocations on Northwestern Islands ▲ low altitude airborne intrusion ▲ rear infiltration of SOF ▲ local conflicts within the Military Demarcation Line(MDL) ▲ attacking friendly ships by submarines. Counter-measures currently established by the US involves the support from USFK and USFJ. In order to keep the sworn promise, the US is reinforcing both USFK and USFJ. An all-out war situation will be met by 'CFC OPLAN5027' and 'Tailored Expansion Deterrence Forces' with the CFC playing a central role. The US augmentation forces stands at 690,000 troops, some 160 ships, 2,000 aircraft and this comprise 50% of US total forces, which is estimated to be ninefold of Korean forces. The CFC needs to be in center in handling both local provocations and an all-out war situation. However, the combat power of S. Korean conventional forces is approximately around 80% of that of N. Korea, which has been confirmed from comments made by Kim, Gwan-Jin, Defense Minister, during an interpellation session at the National Assembly. This means that S. Korean forces are not much growing. In particular, asymmetric capabilities of the North is posing a serious threat to the South including WMD, cyber warfare forces, SOF, forces targeting 5 Northwestern Islands, sub-surface and amphibious assault forces. The presence of such threats urgently requires immediate complementary efforts. For complementary efforts, the Korean Government should consider ① reinforcement of Korean forces; putting a stoppage to shrinking military, acquisition of adequate defense budget, building a missile defense and military leadership structure validity review, ② implementation of military tasks against the North; disciplinary measures on the sinking of ROKS Cheon-an/shelling of Yeonpyeong Islands, arrangement of inter-Korean military agreements, drawing lessons from studies on the correlation between aid for N. Korea, execution of inter-Korean Summit and provocations from the North, and ③ bolstering the ROK·US alliance; disregarding wartime operational control transfer plan(disassembling of CFC) and creation of a combined division.

  • Background: Collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) in mice is animal model of autoimmune disease known as rheumatic arthritis in human. We investigated CII-specific CD4+ T cell receptor usage in CIA mice. Methods: In CIA model, draining lymph node (dLN) CD4+ T cells and splenocytes at $3^{rd},\;5^{th},\;8^{th}$ week, we investigated CII-specific T cell proliferation, production of IL-17, IFN-${\gamma}$, TNF-${\alpha}$, IL-4 and IL-10. And we also performed anti-CII IgG Ab measurements in serum level, TCRV ${\beta}$ usage and T cell clonality with RT-PCR-SSCP analysis. Also, we performed proliferative response against CII when CII-specific T cell subset is deleted. Results: CIA mice showed more increase in the serum level of anti-CII IgG than normal mice after induction of arthritis. And the level of anti-CII IgG2a in CIA mice was increased after $3^{rd}$ week after primary immunization, while anti-CII IgG1 was decreased. Draining LN CD4+ T cells have proliferated against CII stimulation at $3^{rd}$ week after $1^{st}$immunization. CD4+T cells derived from dLN of CIA mice produced proinflammatory cytokine IFN-${\gamma}$, IL-17 etc. Draining LN CD4 T cells of CIA presented higher proportion of CD4+V ${\beta}3$+subset compared to those of normal mice at $3^{rd}$ week after $1^{st}$ immunization, and they were increased in proportion by CII stimulation. Draining LN CD4+ T cells without TCRV ${\beta}3+/V{\beta}8.1/8.2+/V{\beta}$10b+cells were not responsive against CII stimulation. But, CII-reactive response of TCRV ${\beta}3-/V{\beta}8.1/8.2-/V{\beta}$10b- T cells was recovered when $V{\beta}3+$ T cells were added in culture. Conclusion: Our results indicate that CD4+$V{\beta}3+$ T cells are selectively expanded in dLN of CIA mice, and their recovery upon CII re-stimulation in vitro, as well as the production Th1-type cytokines, may play pivotal role in CIA pathogenesis.

  • 대부분의 포유동물에서 수란관내로 배란된 난자는 정자에 의해 수정이 된 후 개체발생을 시작한다. 그러나 수정이 되지 못한 난자들은 난구세포와 함께 수란관내에서 퇴화하여 제거되는데, 그 기작에 대해서는 구체적으로 알려져 있지 않다. 따라서 본 연구는 포유동물의 수란관내 물질이 난자-난구 복합체에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 사람의 난포액과 소의 수란관 조직 추출액을 생쥐의 난자-난구 복합체에 처리하고 난자의 생존율 및 난구세포의 세포자연사(apoptosis)를 조사하였다. 수란관 조직 추출액을 처리한 미성숙난자는 난포액만을 처리한 난자와 비교하여 난자의 성숙률에 차이를 보이지 않았다. 그러나 난구세포에서 난포액만을 처리한 경우 확장을 일으키면서 배양접시 바닥에 붙어서 배양 후 72시간까지 분열 증식을 계속하는 것이 관찰된 반면, 수란관 조직 추출액을 처리한 난구세포는 확장이 억제되며 72시간 배양 후 모두 죽었다. 한편 난포액과 수란관 조직 추출액을 함께 처리한 난구세포는 배양 후 24시간에 화장을 일으켰으나 72시간 후에는 수란관 조직 추출액 만을 처리했을 때 와 마찬가지로 모든 난구세포가 죽었다. 이러한 난구세포의 죽음이 세포자연사에 의한 것인지를 알아보기 위하여 DAPI로 핵을 염색한 후 관찰한 결과 세포자연사의 특징인 응축되고 분절화된 핵을 관찰 할 수 있었고, 특히 수란관 조직 추출액을 처리한 난구세포에서 많이 관찰되었다. 또한 TUNEL 방법으로 세포자연사를 확인한 결과 응축되고 분절화된 핵을 가진 난구세포에서 염색되는 것을 확인하였다. 본 연구의 결과들을 종합해 볼 때 소의 수란관 조직 추출액에 의한 생쥐 난구세포의 죽음은 세포자연사에 의한 것으로 판단되며, 이로 미루어 수란관 조직세포에는 난구세포의 세포자연사를 유도할 수 있는 물질을 포함하고 있는 것으로 사료된다.or teacher educators to re-conceptualize teacher education in Korea. 것이 필요하다.량은 264,000$m^2$, 79,200$m^3$이였으며, 우려기준의 40% 농도 이상의 경우 복원 면적과 물량은 779,000$m^2$, 233,700㎥, 배경치 농도 이상의 복원 목표 설정의 경우에는 각각 969,200$m^2$, 290,760$m^3$ 이였다. 토양오염 우려기준 농도의 40%를 복원 목표로 하는 경우와 배경치 농도를 복원 목표로 하는 경우, 복원 물량은 우려기준 농도를 복원 목표로 하는 경우의 3.0배와 3.7배정도 증가하는 것으로 나타나 복원 목표치 설정시 우려기준 농도의 40%와 배경농도의 차이에 다른 복원 물량의 차이는 적어서, 복원 목표 설정시 배경치 농도로 복원계획을 세우는 것이 가장 바람직한 것으로 판단되었다.amma}$D)안정동위원소값이 광화I시기에는 각각 11∼9.${\textperthansand}$, -92∼-86${\textperthansand}$, 광화 II시기에는 각각 0.3${\textperthansand}$(${\gamma}^{18}O_{H2O}$),-93${\textperthansand}$({\gamma}$D)이며, 리본-호상구조를 보이는 것으로 보아 대봉광상의 광화유체에 대한 기원과 진화과정을 두 가지로 생각할 수 있다. 1) 마그마유체로부터 광화작용이 진행됨에 따라 계속적인 순환수의 혼입이 있었으며 2) 조기 마그마${\pm}$변성유체에서 유체압력의 차에

  • 오늘날 IT 조직들은 시장확보와 재정이득 측면에서 비전을 가지고 프로젝트를 수행한다. QCD관점에서 그 수god능력을 향상시켜 나가는 것이 비전을 실현하는 목표이다. 따라서 조직들은 이러한 목표를 달성하기 위해 프로세스 개선을 통해 QCD관점의 목표를 달성하고자 많은 노력을 하고 있는 실정이다. TBM, Ford, GE와 같은 대형 회사들도 컴퓨터에 의한 업무개선 효과보다는 IT를 이용한 비즈니스 프로세스 리엔지니어링을 통해 80퍼센트 이상의 성과를 거두고 있다. 그러나, 목표달성을 위해서는 프로젝트를 수행한 데이터를 수집하고 분석하여 관리해야 하지만 소프트웨어의 비가시성 특성으로 인한 정량적인 측정이 어려운 것이 사실이며 이로 인해 프로세스 변경으로 인한 효과와 효율을 가시적인 확인하기 힘들고 효과적인 프로세스 개선전략을 도출하기 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 조직의 외부적인 효과와 내부적인 효율(품질, 납기일, 공정, 재사용)에 초점을 맞추어 프로젝트 성능을 측정하고 분석한다. 측정된 프로젝트 성능 점수를 기반으로 프로젝트 성능의 최적화를 위한 OT(Opportunity Tree) 모델을 설계하였다. 설계 과정으로서 먼저 프로젝트에서 공통적인 요소(Meta data)를 도출하여 정량적 GQM(Goal-Question-Metric) 설문서에 의해서 분석한다. 정량적 GQM 설문서로부터 얻은 데이터를 가지고, 프로젝트 성능 모델을 설계하고 조직의 영역별 성능 점수를 계산한다. 계산된 영역별 성능 점수와 모든 스테이크 홀더들(조직의 최고 경영자(CEO), 중간 관리자, 개발자, 투자가, 고객)로부터 받아낸 비전 가중치를 통합하여 보정된 값을 구한다. 이를 통해 개선을 위한 경로(Route for Improvement)를 제시하고 최적화된 개선 방법을 제공한다. 기존 소프트웨어 프로세스 개선 방법은 '프로세스 구분'에큰 뛰어난 효과를 보였으나, 프로세스를 프로젝트에 대응시켜서 전략을 수립하고 조직적으로 관리하는 구조적 기능이 미비하였다. 이러한 문제점에 대하여 본 논문에서 제시한 OT 모델은 해결책을 제시해 주고 있다. OT 모델의 효과는 조직의 목표에 맞게 최적화된 개선 방법을 제공하는 것이고, 제공된 방법을 사용하여 수행할 경우 프로젝트를 개선할 때 생기는 리스크를 감소시킬 수 있다는 점이다. 또한, 정성적인 설문서를 통해 모든 스테이크 홀더들에게 중요도를 입력받아 계산되었으므로, 개선 방법에 대한 만족도를 높여 줄 수 있다. OT 활용에 의해서 품질, 납기, 공정, 재사용을 조정하여 시장 확장과 재무성과를 최적화시킬 수 있다.

  • 배경: 이 연구에서는 원발성 자연기흉 환자의 초 치료를 위해, 본 교실에서 2005년부터 사용하기 시작한 상품화된 8 Fr 흉부 배액 도관($Pleuracan^{(R)}$)의 효용성에 대해 알아보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 2004년 7월부터 2006년 7월까지 원발성 자연기흉으로 진단받고 흉관 삽입술을 시행한 환자 59명(72 예)을 대상으로 하였으며, 20 Fr 이상의 흉관을 사용한 군(Tube군, T군)과 $Pleuracan^{(R)}$을 사용한 군($Pleuracan^{(R)}$군, P군)으로 나누어 그 임상 경과를 후향적으로 비교하였다. 결과: 총 41예에서 $Pleuracan^{(R)}$을 삽입하였으나, 9.8% (4/41)에서 도관 기능 장애가 나타났고, 이 중 3예에서는 20 Fr이상의 흉관을 삽입하였다. 따라서 최종적으로 T군은 34예, P군은 38예였다. 두 군 사이에 흉관 거치 기간(T군: $2.1{\pm}1.5$일, P군: $2.1{\pm}1.3$일), 재원 일수(T군: $6.4{\pm}5.4$일, P군: $5.2{\pm}2.9$일), 합병증(T군: 3% (1/34, 출혈), P군: 0%) 등에는 유의한 차이가 없었으나, 정주용 진통제 사용 환자는 P군이 60% (23/38)로 91%(31/34)인 T군에 비해 유의하게 적었다(p=0.003). 수술 얼이 흉관 삽입만으로 치료한 36예(T군: 17예, P군: 19예)만을 분석하였을 때도 동일한 결과를 얻었으며, 이 환자들에 있어 공기 누출 기간은 T군이 $0.5{\pm}0.7$일, p군이 $0.5{\pm}1.2$일로 차이가 없었고, P군의 84% (16/19)에서 폐의 재팽창을 얻어 94% (16/17)의 T군과 비교하여 유의한 차이가 없었다. 결론: $Pleuracan^{(R)}$은 20 Fr 이상의 흉관과 비교하여 그 효용성에 차이가 없어, 원발성 자연기흉의 초 치료에 사용될 수 있다고 생각한다.

  • 본 연구는 1966년 TBC 동화부의 황금박쥐로 시작된 한국 하청애니메이션의 역사를 1980년대 시기까지 분석하여, 한국애니메이션에서 30년 넘게 진행되어 온 하청애니메이션의 역사를 재조명하였다. 이를 위해 하청애니메이션 제작사 제작현황 산업의 규모 등 하청애니메이션 개괄적인 상황을 통해 당시 OEM산업의 실태를 점검하였고, 애니메이션이 하청제작산업으로 고착화된 배경을 시대상황과 연계하여 분석하였다. 또한 이를 기반으로 하청애니메이션산업이 발생시킨 문제점과 한계 그리고 이를 극복하고 창작애니메이션을 활성화하기 위한 새로운 모색에 대한 분석을 통해 애니메이션 역사 연구의 지평을 넓혀보고자 하였다. 1970년대는 중화학공업 육성과 수출주도형 경제성장이 국가적 목표였던 시기였다. 70년대 후반부터 애니메이션도 해외애니메이션 하청 수주를 통해 수출 주력산업으로 주목받았다. 하청 해니메이션 제작의 확대는 당시 대중문화에 대한 국가의 정책과 칼라TV보급, 비디오 제작 시장 활성화 등의 매체 변화로 극장용 애니메이션 관객이 축소된 점에도 영향을 받았으며 경제적 논리로 자체 애니메이션 제작을 기피했던 방송사 등 플랫폼 부재도 그 원인이었다. 하청애니메이션산업은 애니메이션 인프라의 구축과 신진 인력 양성 등 애니메이션 환경을 확장시켰다는 측면에서 긍정적인 평가를 할 수 있다. 그러나 기술집약적인 '프로덕션' 단계 중심의 발전은 기획력 등 '프리 프로덕션'의 부재와 '포스트 프로덕션(후반작업)'에 대한 인식 부족으로 전문인력 양성에 왜곡된 구조를 만들었고, OEM산업으로 축적된 자본을 창작애니메이션 제작에 재투자하여 내수시장을 형성하지 못한 점은 부정적 측면으로 평가된다. 애니메이션은 한 나라의 문화적, 정신적 산물이다. 따라서 전문인력의 양성과 우수한 작품의 창작, 선순환 구조를 만들 수 있는 시장의 형성 등 창작애니메이션 활성화를 위한 체계적인 지원 정책이 모색되어야 한다. 그러나 애니메이션은 산업이지만 하드웨어 중심의 제조업이 아닌 창의력에 기반한 문화산업이라는 인식은 없었다. 이러한 인식의 부재로 이 시기 한국 애니메이션은 독자적인 작품 제작을 위한 장기적인 계획과 투자를 통해 시장을 만들고, 창작애니메이션을 활성화하는 어떠한 정책 방안도 마련하지 못했다. 이러한 시도는 1990년대 이후 한국도 창작 애니메이션 보호 육성을 위한 다각적인 모색을 통해 새롭게 시작된다.
