  • Korean government has promoted the projects of National Geographic Information Systems since 1995 and the utilization level of Korean National Spatial Data Infrastructure based on them has also developed. However, due to the limit to domestic market size and the legal regulation on prohibition of large sized companies' expansion into domestic spatial information markets, Korean spatial information markets are tied up in term of industrial competitiveness. To overcome those problems and evade the domestic red oceans, it is necessary to find new one in overseas' blue ocean markets. It is estimated that overseas spatial information market will be grown to 125 billion-dollar size and the annual growth rate of it will be reached to 10.5% until 2015. Thus, Asian spatial information market has a huge growth potential and it is newly rising blue oceans for Korea. Advanced countries such as Finland, Germany, Sweden, and Japan have already expanded their market size into the newly industrializing countries. To step with advanced countries, it is time to set up the new globalization strategy of Korean spatial information for expansion into newly industrializing markets. The purpose of this study is to analyze the SWOT of domestic spatial information, investigate the status on spatial information of Asian developing countries, and suggest the globalization strategy of Korean spatial information for expansion into them. The globalization strategy can be labelled as K-FBI composed of 4 domains such as Knowledge sharing platform, Frontier, Back to the basic, and Internalization. In near future, the establishment and performance of road map based on the strategy will be the milestone for Korean spatial information companies' advance into Asian developing countries.

  • The purpose of this study was to determine the best ratio of tomato sauce with chili pepper powder. The investigation of food quality after preparing tomato sauce with chili pepper powder shall be as follows. Moisture was reduced when red chili pepper powder were added gradually, although protein, fat, ash, and carbohydrates were increased. pH values decreased as red chili pepper increased as organic acid was reduced. In case of colour, L-value and a-value were reduced, although b-value increased. Lycopene and ${\beta}$-carotene increased by adding red chili pepper by virtue of the existence of carotenoid. Polyphenol, flavonoid, and DPPH radical also increased with the addition of red chili pepper as a result of red chili pepper's antioxidant property. In an attribute difference test, smoothness showed a low score when red pepper powder was added, but graininess returned a high score as red pepper powder absorbed moisture. The result of the sensory test for sauce, TC2 showed the best score in overall acceptance, while TC3 showed the best score for sauce with pasta in overall acceptance. Tomato sauce with 3% of red pepper powder was shown to have the most acceptable quality and should have powerful manufacture competitiveness.

  • Recently government is set to expand its policy to promote technical proposal tendering in a dimension of technical competitiveness reinforcement. Because a variety of complicated techniques are applied in technical proposal tendering and variables could be occurred in terms of cost, schedule, constructability and others when techniques are reflected on design document collaboration management among participants is considered insignificantly. So the research would determine primary management factors and presents management direction for collaboration among participants. First action for this is categorization of hindrance factors to collaboration into five factors as 'Poor work processing', 'Communication cap among participants', 'Lack of understanding about technical proposal tendering', 'Difficulty of decision making' and 'Insufficiency in managing the work data'. Second correlation analysis is conducted between the categorized factors and participants according to tasks in technical proposal tendering to figure out the correlation degree of variables. If there is a strong correlation between variables, hindrance factor in that case regarded primary management factor to collaboration and finally management direction is presented at each task.

  • Recently, domestic construction companies have increasingly engaged in international PPP projects a result of both uncertainties in the domestic construction market and low competitiveness in international EPC project business. These international PPP projects usually require long-term preparations and substantial sales costs, which make it important for decision-makers to select winning-award potential project in early stage of the projects. However, most previous research has analyzed success factors in terms of project development across all stages. Thus, this study investigated 28 success factors of 4 categories in the early stage of 31 international PPP projects. First, results indicate that unsolicited PPP projects require better implementation capabilities and financial conditions compared to solicited PPP projects. Second, implementation capability is important because it is not easy to improve as the project proceeds. Third, commercial conditions are identified as important even if conditions are not fixed in the early stage of PPP projects. Fourth, non-commercial conditions, strategy, and public interest are not found to be meaningful in the early stage of PPP projects because they can vary as the project proceeds. This study helps to improve selection criteria aimed towards more winning-award potential project in the early stage of international PPP projects.

  • With the flow of globalization, world aviation markets are showing growing trends toward liberalization, deregulation, and privatization. At the same time, also apparent is a strong trend toward regionalism on aviation markets to realize open skies at the regional level. This research examines the recent trend of regionalism in the world aviation market from a political economic perspective, taking a single European aviation market as an example. The results show that the creation of a single European aviation market is the EU's strategic response against the US to enhance the European aviation industry's competitiveness. More specifically, the results show that the European countries are creating a single European aviation market in order to stand against the US' so-called 'divide and nile policy' and 'encirclement strategy' and to make their airliners to have competitive advantages over the US airliners on the lucrative North-Atlantic air routes. Recently, the single European aviation market is expanding by including the Mediterranean and Balkan states to pursue Pan European aviation cooperation and to develop European Common Aviation Area so that it can continuously enhance its negotiating leverage against external markets. The results imply that it is urgent for the Northeast Asian countries to create their own regional aviation bloc to develop their aviation industry and to increase their negotiating power against external countries.
