Purpose: The aims of this paper are to assess the competitiveness about the spectacles industry of Korea against Japan. Methods: We use export competitiveness indexes such as market share index, trade specialization index and market comparative advantage index to evaluate the competitiveness of spectacles industry of Korea against Japan. Results: This paper shows that the comparative advantage of the Spectacles industry of Korea in MC(market comparative advantage) against Japan arc spectacles lenses and contact lenses. Furthermore, it can also be known that the spectacles lenses and contact lenses have export competitiveness in the TSI (trade specialization index) against Japan. Conclusions: We need to choose spectacles lenses and contacts lenses as the main export items against Japan in the spectacles industry of Korea. Along with this, we need to improve the image of the Spectacles industry in Korea; after that, we have to create a strategy that would strengthen export competition in other items.

Rapid progress of globalization around the world makes global supply chain management a very important competitive strategy for global corporation. And ports, where international trade cargoes are coming and going through on a large scale, are becoming global supply chain basis for global co게orations. Accordingly, ports' capabilities to support global supply chain activities of global corporation become major tools for the measurement of ports' competitiveness. Recently there have been several studies to find the variables related to port's supply chain function and port's competitiveness. In this study, an effort has been made to identify variables related to port supply chain function and competitiveness. Also, considering the increasing usefulness and rising importance of Incheon port, the supply chain function of Incheon port and it's relationship to Incheon port's competitiveness has been ascertained.

The increasing number of global natural disaster has been raising people's concerns, and at the same time, disaster prevention technologies have been developed and advanced continuously. At this stage, it is necessary for the natural disaster prevention industry to be aware of the current status of the disaster prevention technologies and strength their competitiveness of technologies. This study investigates not only the current situation on the domestic natural disaster prevention industry, focusing on competitiveness of technologies, but also analyzes technologies based on type of disaster and type of technology by survey. The analyses reveal that there are differences in a way that companies categorized by annual revenue feel based on their competitiveness of disaster prevention technologies. This paper provides with suggestions, and policy implications are discussed.

The importance of platform businesses in the global market is growing, but in Korea, platform businesses with a global competitive edge are rare. This study compared the competitiveness of the local and international platform businesses by analyzing the six success factors of platform businesses. It surveyed 104 professionals in ICT regarding the competitiveness of SNS services (Kakao Talk, Facebook), mobile payment systems (Samsung Pay, Apply Pay), digital content (Naver, YouTube), online shopping (G Market, Amazon) and education (K-MOOC, MOOC). In sum, the local platform business sector, compared to its U.S. counterpart, is lagging behind in creativity, value creation, cost reduction, networking effects and the ability to build, change and develop new ecosystems.

Recently, it has increased projects in the Oil and Gas industry as growing plant of overseas construction market. Therefore, domestic companies need to set some aggressive plans up that secure competitiveness of international plant business such as enhancing productivity, technological ability and statistical management. Specifically in the Oil and Gas industry of overseas plant business requires implying information in EPC (Engineering, Procurement and Construction, below EPC) more, but it has not been suggested an appropriate breakdown system for contents that manages the information each EPC phase, which lead to problems such as revision of design document, occurring duplicated work and omissions of each participant. For these problems, we find market share decreasing and competitiveness running down. Thus, for increasing practical use of contents management system and construction industry's information, this paper suggests a contents breakdown system based on BPM (Business Process Management), defines business process and systematizing knowledge needed, and finally analyzing contents information that establish information among industrial facilities in Design phase which is the weakest part of domestic companies.

This study evaluates industrial competitiveness of 34 industries in the 41 countries in terms of several trade indices such as value-added RCA(VRCA) and value added intra-industry trade(VIIT). Conclusions are as follows: First, China is still showing week evidence to replace or overtake Korea in terms of VRCA. Second, it is not supportive of the assertion that the gap between Japan and South Korea had widened in the 1995-2011 period. Third, Korea's exports pattern in the manufacturing sector has shifted from the one featured by developing countries(re-exportation of final goods produced using imported intermediate inputs) to that of the developed (exportation of intermediate goods). According to dynamic panel analysis regressing the RCA gap on the IIT gap, intermediate-goods RCA and the market share gap, the estimated coefficient of the gap between value-added IIT and gross IIT is 0.253 and statistically significant at the 2% level. This implies that increases in IIT or intermediate-goods trade to sustain the global competitiveness are the main reasons for the gap between value-added RCA and gross RCA.

The advent of information communication technology or the Fourth Industrial Revolution facilitated the fusion of equipment and management systems, such as Manufacturing Execution System, Enterprise Resource Planning, and Product Lifecycle Management, in the successful implementation of smart factories. The government supports the early adoption of these systems in small and medium companies to enhance their global competitiveness in producing products that can be recognized in a dramatically changing manufacturing environment. This study introduces smart factories to improve company competitiveness and address influences from the government assistance, CEO leadership, external consultancy, and organizational participation. We analyzed 101 results received from the questionnaires circulated to small- and medium-sized manufacturing companies. Given a successful smart factory implementation, company competitiveness is the factor that mostly influences organizational participation, government assistance, external consultancy, and CEO leadership. This study suggests several perspectives to implement a smart factory, which is the most important aspect of company competitiveness.

전세계 풍력발전 시장은 2009년말 160GW로 지난 5년간 연평균 36.1%로 성장하였으며, 2012년 310GW, 2020년에는 1,900GW에 이를 전망이다. 특히, 풍력산업은 조선, 중공업 등 우리나라가 강세에 있는 산업과 연관성이 높아 관련분야 대기업을 중심으로 시장진출이 활발히 진행되고 있는 추세이다. 본 연구는 지식경제부에서 지원하고 있는 신재생에너지기술개발사업 R&D지원실적을 토대로 풍력산업 및 기술혁신패턴을 분석하고, 이를 토대로 풍력산업 발전을 위한 기술혁신 지원전략을 연구하였다. 분석결과, 풍력시장이 급성장함에 따라 대기업을 중심으로 급진적 혁신 행태을 보였으며, 기술도입 및 선진기술의 모방이라는 전형적인 초기산업화 패턴을 보이고 있다. 이러한 기업전략은 기술혁신체제 관점에서 기술학습을 통한 기술축적이 부족하고, 부품소재 중심으로 공급사슬을 구성하는 중소 중견기업군이 취약하여 원가절감 등 시장 경쟁력에 장애요인으로 나타났다. 이를 개선하기 위해서는 첫째, 시스템 기업은 중소 중견기업을 중심으로 부품국산화 노력을 통한 경쟁력 있는 공급사슬 구현이 시급하다. 둘째, 정부는 부품소재 중심의 원천연구에 대한 지원을 확대하여야 하며 셋째, 경쟁력 있는 국가의 기술혁신체계 구현을 위해 정부 출연연구소 및 대학을 중심으로 기술축적을 위한 방안이 시급하다. 마지막으로 초기 풍력산업의 주요 수요자가 정부 및 공공기관인점을 감안할 때, 풍력시스템의 국산화 비율을 구매 조건의 핵심 평가요인으로 채택해야 할 것이다.

본 연구는 정보통신 산업 클러스터의 사례분석을 통해 제조업과 비교.분석하여 정책적 방향을 제안하고자 한다. 국내외 정보통신 산업 클러스터의 사례로 미국의 실리콘밸리, 일본의 테크노폴리스, 중국의 중관촌, 스웨덴의 시스 타와 국내의 대덕 밸리를 중심으로 특성을 도출하고자 한다. 산업 클러스터는 마이클 포터의 연구를 시작으로 하여 OECD 에서 국가혁신체제의 주요 주제로 제안하면서 국가 경쟁력의 핵심으로 등장하게 된다. 정보통신의 발달은 지역에 기반한 글로벌 경쟁력을 가진 산업 클러스터에 대한 체계적인 연구와 이에 대한 정책개발의 필요성이 증대되고 있다. 정보통신 산업 제품의 특성상 기술혁신 속도가 빠르고 제품의 라이플 사이클이 제조업 제품에 비해 짧은 특징을 지니고 있어, 투자에 대한 위험 (risk)이 발생한다. 또한 지식창조산업으로서 생산위주의 제조업과는 다른 지리적, 공간적 특성에 차이가 있으며, 고급 인력기술자의 활용도가 높아 안정적인 환경이 요구된다. 따라서 통신, 교통 등의 물리적인 기반시설뿐만 아니라 정보통신 관련 업체간 연계와 독특한 사회.문화적인 분위기 등이 어울려져 있음을 살펴볼 수 있다. 이러한 정보통신 산업 클러스터의 특성을 통해 본 연구는 경제의 신 성장동력 중에 하나인 정보 통신산업의 경쟁력을 높이고 세계적 수출산업으로 육성, 정보통신 중심지로서의 역할 수행 및 동북아 경제 중심 실현을 위해 정책적인 제안을 한다.
