China has become the group of two (G2) in almost fields including the scientific technology following the economic growth and joining the WTO in 2001. The main reason is that the government had strong intention for the industrialization of the scientific technology and connected the scientific technology and the economy. Typically, for analyzing the cause of the meteoric rise of China, the competitiveness of the scientific technology was analyzed by the entire score of the nation. However, in the case of China, there are differences in the pattern of the development between the eastern, central, and western province. Also, the industrialization and the competitiveness of the scientific technology are difference because each province established the decentralization of power. Therefore, it is more meaningful to analyze the main factors of Chinese economic growth on a province unit. In this study, therefore, we analyzed the competitive of R&D in China by 124 indexes in 31 areas. The data was analyzed by Partial least squares regression analysis. In conclusion, the scale of the area and the ability of R&D of the company are very important factors for total amount of production in the area. And the journals, patents, the transfer of technical know-how and the investment of R&D are main factors of the amount of export on the high-tech product. According to these results, the factors which make the difference in the industrialization and the competitiveness of the scientific technology in China were analyzed. Finally, it will be helpful to establish the policy for the development of the industrialization and the scientific technology in Korea.

In 2005, the Korean government decided to postpone the introduction of competition up to 2009 in the power plant service industry. Thus, the purpose of this study is to analyze the efficiency changes and the determinants of international competitiveness of Korean power plant service industry by the comparison between before and after 2006. The sample used in the estimation of efficiency is six firms III Korean power plant service sector for the period of 2003~2008. According to the results, technical efficiency before 2006 (2003~2005) is 0.865 and that after 2005 (2006~2008) is 0.947, which implies that efficiency has been improved after the delay of introduction of competition. In addition, according to the analyses based on the diamond model of Porter using survey data, demand condition has been ranked first in the determinants of international competitiveness. The second and the third important conditions are government and input factor ones. Firm's strategy/structure/competitiveness condition is the most weak condition. Therefore, it would be necessary for firms to improve this condition for competitiveness.

This paper examines agri-food export competitiveness among 4 countries(Korea, USA, Japan, China) based on Porter's Diamond model approach. Korea agri-food competitiveness index is much less than those of other countries. Korea is the lowest ranked among the 4 countries in terms of three determinants(except 1 factor, related and supporting industries) of Porter's Diamond Model: Factor condition, demand condition, firm strategy, structure and rivalry. Korea is assumed to have weak point in the factor condition, demand condition because of low capital and land as well as insufficient investment on the agri-food sector. on the other hand, it seems to have strong factor in consumer condition(demand condition). This paper suggest the following strategies to reinforced the agri-food export sector in Korea. 1) an incentive system for seed development and capital investment, 2) a cluster strategy between agriculture and related industry.

오늘 날 외식업체는 고객욕구의 파악에 있어 고객만족에 영향을 미치는 요인에 대한 보다 세심한 배려를 기울이기 보다는 서비스기업이 가지는 모방성의 특성에 따라 표면적인 측면을 기준으로 신제품 개발과 서비스제공으로 경쟁력을 갖추려 하고 있다. 따라서 인적자원에 의한 의존도가 매우 높은 외식업체의 특성상 서비스 제공자의 의도 와는 달리 고객의 입장에서 불만족의 요인은 언제나 발생할 수 있는 가능성에 노출된 상 태에서 그러한 상황에 대처노력이 고객만족에 어떤 영향을 미칠 것인가에 대한 연구는 향후 외식업체의 경쟁력 강화에 많은 시사점을 제시할 수 있을 것으로 보인다. 본 연구의 목적은 앞에서 제기한 문제의식을 바탕으로 외식업체의 서비스품질과 고객 만족의 관계에서 상황대처요인의 역할을 규명하는데 있다. 본 연구를 통해 얻은 결론은 일반적인 서비스 품질속성에 부정적인 생각을 가지고 있다고 하더라도 불만족요인에 대한 상황대처요인에 의해 전반적인 만족을 느낀다는 것이다. 특히 상황대처요인 가운데 대응의지가 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났는데 이를 두고 볼 때 외식업체에서는 고객만족을 위해 대응의지 제고방안을 강구해야 할 것이다.
