To enrich a country's food culture, it is essential that residents understand and care about that culture. Although various efforts to globalize Korean food have been made outside Korea, the importance of understanding Koreans' perception of and increasing interest in Korean food has been neglected. Thus, this study was conducted to identify the cognitive structures regarding Korean food among 30 Koreans living in metropolitan cities using in-depth laddering interviews based on the means-end chain theory. The most dominant cognitive structures toward Korean food were familiarity (attributes), ease of digestion and health (functional consequences), sense of responsibility and will to live (psychosocial consequences), and family affection and sense of achievement (values). In short, Koreans were found to consume Korean food to achieve perceived high-dimensional values rather than simply for its attributes or benefits. These findings have important implications for future strategies and policies aimed at increasing Korean food consumption by Koreans, as they suggest that underlying and symbolic values rather than the attributes of Korean food are more effective in promoting its consumption. Further studies on understanding perceptions and values using a larger Korean population are needed to preserve and further develop Korean food.

Zusammenfassung : Seit den 1990er Jahren hat Muenchen sich zu einem der fuehrenden europaeischen Biotechnologie Clustern entwickelt. Cluster, d.h. raeumliche Konzentrationen von miteinander vernetzten Unternehmen und Institutionen entlang einer Wertschoepfungskette, stellt fuer Unternehmen und Regionen einen erheblichen Wettbewerbsvorteil dar. Ziel dieser Beitrag ist es, die Herausbildung und Entwicklung des Innovationsclusters in Deutschland, am Beispiel von Biotech Cluster Muenchen zu analysieren. Im Folgenden wird zunaechst der Versuch unternommen, eine uebergreifende Kozeption regionaler Unternehmensclustern theoretisch zu eroerten. Darauf aufbauend wird anhand des Biotech Clusters Muenchen die Struktur und Entwicklung des Innovationsclusters empirisch aufgezeigt.

New services such as OTT have appeared, and the value chain of the media industry has formed a complex terrain, and new problems have arisen in terms of fair competition between operators and user protection. However, the problem of introducing OTT under the existing law that classifies services by physical characteristics and technical elements of the network has been criticized in terms of hindering industrial activation due to excessive regulation. The introduction of the new regulatory system has been delayed for a long time despite the dissatisfaction of stakeholders and attempts to legislate

우리나라는 후발주자임에도 불구하고 개방형 운영체제의 전격적 채택과 고급 기종 중심의 공격적 제품 라인 확대, 그리고 가치사슬의 수직 통합 체계 구축 등에 힘입어 2011년 세계 스마트폰 시장 점유율 1위를 차지하였다. 그러나 우리나라 스마트폰 산업은 시장 점유율 1위를 달성한지 4년만인 2015년 또 다른 후발주자인 중국에 추격을 허용하였다. 이와 같은 스마트폰 산업 주도권 이전 현상을 논의하기 위해 본 연구는 추격 사이클 이론에 기반하여 중국 스마트폰 산업의 추격과 관련한 기술 수요적 정책 및 제도적 기회의 창을 고찰하고, 이에 대한 중국의 전략적 대응과 우리나라의 실책을 논의하였다. 먼저 기술적 기회의 창으로 스마트폰 아키텍처의 모듈화와 시스템 반도체의 원칩화는 스마트폰 생산에 필요한 기술적 지식의 장벽을 낮추는데 기여하였다. 또한 2013년부터 급성장하기 시작한 저가(190달러 이하) 스마트폰 시장은 기술적 열위인 중국의 시장 개척에 우호적 기회로 작용하였다. 이와 함께 중국 정부의 스마트폰 관련 연구개발 투자 확대는 중국에게 우호적 사업 환경을 제공하는 정책적 기회의 창으로 작용하였다. 이와 같은 기회의 창을 활용하기 위해 중국 스마트폰 산업은 빠른 시장 진입, 원가 절감을 위한 현지 부품 채용, 정부 연구개발 투자를 활용한 기술 역량 축적 등의 전략적 대응을 전개하였다. 반면 우리나라는 고급 기종 생산 고수와 저가 기종 출시 지연, 수직통합 체계의 고착화에 따른 부품 경쟁력 악화에 따라 중국에 추격을 허용하게 되었다. 본 연구는 산업 주도권 이전 현상에 대한 최신 실증을 추가함으로써 추격 사이클 이론의 발전에 기여할 것으로 기대되며, 향후 우리나라 스마트폰 산업 발전 정책 발굴에 중요한 지침으로 활용될 것으로 기대된다.

Existing multinational subsidiary typologies seem to have limitations in two respects. First, the prevalence of subsidiary classification along two-dimensions fails to capture many distinct subsidiary types. Failure to reflect a sufficient richness in dimensionality can give rise to a partial picture of subsidiary typologies in the international business literature. A new typology developed from multi-dimensional approach will be required for reflecting various subsidiary roles in the multinational enterprise. Second, multinational subsidiary performing a number of activities is hard to be defined functionally across the value chain activities. In addition, multinational subsidiary roles can vary dramatically. In conclusion, despite a growing amount of work on subsidiary typologies, there seems to be limited convergence of results. the study regarding subsidiary roles still remain a challenge. In this respect, the purpose of this study is to develop a new typology based on multi-dimensional approach in order to overcome the limitations of traditional typologies. To classify subsidiary types, we propose 8 types of multinational subsidiary according to three dimensions that are adopted: (1) number of required value chain activities (2) subsidiary's sourcing capability and autonomy (3) global orientation (3) The case study analyzing Korean foreign subsidiaries appropriate for 8 types is performed to establish the validity of this study.

There is a Korean proverb that learns old things and learns new things from it. This study analyzes the change of the policy governance system in the field of information and communication since 2008 and outlines the future directions. The launch of the Korea Communications Commission (KCC), which combines the Ministry of Information and Communication and the Korea Broadcasting Commission in 2008, and the separation of the Korea Communications Commission and Ministry of Science, ICT and Future Planning in 2013, were systematic responses to the policy environment. Recent changes in the ICT environment, such as the advent of the fourth industrial revolution and the intelligence information society, call for an organizational timely response. In the future, it will be very important to set the scope of ICT policy, the establishment of a dedicated organization, the strengthening of the regulatory system, and the role of the government and the market.

The aim of this article is to introduce articles of the special issue on 'Revitalization Conditions on Crisis on Industrial Regions: Experience from Europe and the Republic of Korea, and to explore policy alternatives to crisis on industrial regions on the basis of policy diagnoses and prescriptions. In the existing research, diagnoses of such Korean regions are quantitatively focused upon industry, employment, plant, consumption, investment, real estate, and labour market, and are qualitatively based upon external environment and functional, structural and spatial characteristics. Prescriptions of such regions emphasize the establishment of a law and an institutional fix, financial supports, jobs' creation, industrial diversification, the intensification of urban foundation throughout the urban revitalizaion. In the policy development for these regions, it is required to link the industrial sector to social, educational, political and welfare sectors, and furthermore the collaboration of inter- and intra-ministry and the active participation of provincial and local governments are needed.

The purposes of this research are to examine the theoretical background and industrial policy issues with regard to building a Innovation System for encouraging industrial competitiveness and fostering regional industry in Korea. Knowledge has become the driving force of economic growth and the primary source of competitiveness in the world market. So since 1990s, Innovation Systems have been put emphasis on as new industrial development strategy in a knowledge-based economy. It can be understood that Innovation System is composed of National Innovation System(NIS) and Regional Innovation System(RIS) and interrelated the concept of clusters and networks, which are contribute to industry development throughout boosting innovation. As for the Korean industrial policy, when the former centralized policy decision making process became decentralized through the implementation of local autonomy, the role of local or state government in relation to regional industrial promotion intensified. But with the impotance of for fostering strategic industry in the region. new industrial policy issues in Korea are needed as follows; $\circled1$ Building a market-oriented support system for industrial cluster through providing the resource of innovation. $\circled2$ Establishing agency for regional industrial development. $\circled3$ Making a evolutionary vision for broader region including 2 or 3 province, $\circled4$ Fostering strategic industry which is selected in term of specialization and potential of the region. The RIS model for industry development is outlined in this paper but policy initiatives for building a RIS have to be extracted from further case studies.

This paper attempts to evaluate the local economy and the local economic development policy in Goryeong County and to propose some policy alternatives for local economic development. Goryeong County has a locational advantage, which is not just geographically proximate to Daegu, a large metropolis, but also connected directly to the national highway networks. This region can also be regarded as a rural area, in a sense that the primary industry still plays a more important role for the local economy than the secondary industry and the tertiary industry. However, it is problematic that the local economic development strategies of Goryeong are universal rather than strategic and systematic. In order to design an effective regional economic development policy, the policy makers are necessary to deliberately consider regional specificity and geo-political and geo-economic situations around the region. In addition, it is important to say that policy makers, particularly in rural regions, need to break from the fantasy of high-tech industries. In this context, I propose some region-specific and context-specific policy ideas, including the promotion of the agro-food cluster and the build-up of the em-industrial complexes specialized in mechatronics and transportation equipment manufacturing.

In this research, we performed a SWOT analysis to analyze the feasibility of cultivating tropical fruits in Korea, using the mango as a case study. The opportunities for domestic tropical fruit (mango) cultivation are that the domestic cultivation environment is improving due to global warming, the consumer market is expanding due to the increase in domestic demand, and some local governments are supporting the cultivation of tropical fruits as a new high-income crop. The strengths are that it is possible to produce high quality fresh fruits in Korea and that they are still distributed in small quantities, so they can be differentiated from imported ones. There are regular customers and the mango is recognized as a medicinally functional fruit. The threats are that the price competitiveness of imported goods is likely to be further strengthened due to the implementation of the FTA and that it is difficult to cope with the unpredictable climate changes, such as heavy snowfall and extremely cold weather. The weak points are that the initial investment cost is high, the operating costs such as heating bills are also very high, and there is no supply system for the chemicals, fertilizers and cultivation technology required for tropical fruits. In order for tropical fruits such as mangoes to become major fruits, we must make full use of these strengths and opportunities while, at the same time, complementing the weaknesses and eliminating the threats in the value chain.
