This study extracted the major attributes of the competitiveness of services provided by port logistics networks from previous research and interviews with experts and, based on the attributes, analyzed the effects of change in the competitiveness of the Incheon Port. According to the results, services provided by port logistics networks were divided into facility conveniences, access conveniences, and decision conveniences. In the results on the integrated value of the competitiveness of logistics network among ports, competitiveness was high in order of Busan Port>Qigndao Port>Tianjin Port>Dalian Port>Incheon Port. Particularly in the results of scenario analysis, with the elevation of one or two factors of logistics network service, the Incheon Port was even inferior to the Dalian Port, which had the lowest competitiveness among the ports compared. In the results of reversed fuzzy analysis, the Incheon Port could maintain equal competitiveness with the Dalian Port by raising the service level of the logistics network by 25% for facility conveniences, by 8% for access conveniences, and by 1% for decision conveniences.

Keen attention has been directed at "smart tourism cities" due to its role of solving urban problems arising from modern tourism development. However, some local governments are making huge investments in developing uniform tourism apps without specific directions or guidelines for the transformation of smart tourism cities. Accordingly, this study aims to develop a standardized and objective smart tourism competitiveness index and evaluate the competitiveness rankings of various cities around the world. The index comprises the five subindices of attractiveness, accessibility, digitalization readiness, sustainability, and co-partnership. The analysis results have shown that Singapore is the most competitive smart tourism city, followed by Amsterdam, New York City, Seoul and Barcelona, with Ho Chi Minh and Bangkok being relegated to the bottom of competitiveness rankings. We expect that this index can be employed as a global standard for continuously and systematically monitoring smart tourism city-related projects in the future.

The purpose of this study is to develop competitiveness evaluation index for global aviation training organizations. Research and studies on relevant documents were conducted to establish the index. With no sufficient study results previously done directly associated with global aviation training organization, relevant and related documents, such as studies on competitiveness evaluation index of higher educational institutions, were reviewed as an alternative. Two rounds of delphi surveys were conducted based on the review and consultation from experts in aviation training and human resource management fields. First round of survey with 62 evaluation indices were carried out, through which a total of 29 were selected, and 19 indices were chosen during the second round of survey. However, factor analysis was conducted in order to justify the survey result, which eliminated 3 more indices, with 16 finally selected. This study will provide implications for aviation training organizations which need to further improve their competitiveness globally.

정부가 국내 도축산업 경쟁력 강화를 위한 대책 방안을 시행한다. 현재 진행되고 있는 도축장구조조정을 촉진시키는 한편 이를 바탕으로 거점별 혹은 지역별 대표 도축장을 선정하고 각종 정책사업을 집중 지원해 육성한다는 계획이다. 여기에 현행 도축장 위생 및 품질기준을 대폭 강화해 세계 일류기업과 경쟁하는 선진 도축산업으로의 도약을 위한 발판을 마련한다는 방침이어서 추이가 주목되고 있다.

무한 경쟁의 E-business시대에서 가장 강력한 경쟁력 제고 수단의 하나로 평가되는 디자인. 디자인이라는 단어는 이제 누구에게나 친밀하며 누구나 디자인의 중요성을 강변하고 있다. 그러나 과연 디자인에 대한 올바른 이해가 이루어지고 있는가에는 의문의 여지가 있다. 웹에서의 디자인의 역할을 외관에서 느낄수 있는 심미성을 향상시키는 것 정도로 인식하고 있기 때문에 디자인에 의한 경쟁력 제고가 단순한 외관의 변화에 그치는 경우가 대부분인 것이 현실이다.

As the annual growth rate of port handling container volume in Korea has faced slowdown, this paper attempts to find strategies for the domestic container terminal operators in order to enhance competitiveness. For this, the model of using AHP and the fuzzy set theory is used for evaluating competitiveness between domestic and global container terminal operators. The evaluation model hierarchy is developed based on SERM(subject-environment-resource-mechanism) theory of business strategy. The results show domestic operators are ranked lower than global player so that they particularly pay attention to the areas of scale of economy, business diversification, and globalization strategy.

한 국가의 국가경쟁력이 커지기 위해서는 여러 산업에 국제경쟁력이 있어야 한다. 특히 에너지 산업과 같이 전방효과가 큰 산업은 어떤 산업 보다도 경쟁력을 키워나가야 하는 산업이다. 본 논문에서는 국제경쟁력에 대한 개념 정리를 통해 규제완화를 포함한 정부의 역할이 에너지 산업의 국제경쟁력에 어떤 영향을 미치는가를 살펴보고 정부가 1994년에 발표한 규제완화조치가 에너지 산업의 국제경쟁력을 강화시키는데 충분한 조치인가를 석유산업을 중심으로 평가한 후 정부가 취해야 할 자세와 결정, 실천사항을 제언하였다. 한국의 국제경쟁력 모델을 이용한 분석에 의하면 한국의 에너지 산업은 부존자원과 경영환경면에서 열악한 모습을 보이는 반면, 근로자와 기업가면에서 경쟁력을 창출할 수 있는 요소를 간직하고 있다. 그러나 규제완화와 관련된 정부, 즉 정치가와 행정관료면에 있어서는 현 정부가 외형적으로 제시하는 규제완화조치에 대해서 큰 기대를 걸게 해 주지만 그 실천에 있어서는 기대가 큰 만큼 실망도 함께 주고 있다. 기업이 이윤극대화라는 목표를 달성하기 위해서 생산, 판매 등의 기업활동에 경영개념을 도입해야 하듯이, 국가 역시 국제경쟁력 강화라는 목표를 달성하기 위해서는 "규제완화조치"라는 정부활동에 사전계획, 현장집행, 사후평가로 이어지는 경영개념을 도입해야 한다. 즉, 정부가 규제완화를 목표로 삼고 있다면 일방적으로 어떤 규제를 완화하겠다고 할 것이 아니라 우선 민간 부문에서 어떠한 규제를 완화하기를 원하는지 파악하여 과감한 완화조치를 마련한 후 관련 부서간 조정을 거쳐 법령을 개폐하는 등 이를 집행하는 것이 중요하며, 마지막 단계로 수혜자인 민간부문의 입장에서 실제 규제완화가 이루어졌는지에 대해 평가하고 평가결과가 계획에 미달할 때는 그 원인을 찾아서 다음 단계의 계획에 반영하며, 성과가 계획목표대로 이루어진 경우에는 해당 집행관료에게 이에 상응하는 대우를 충분히 해주는 등 일련의 사후평가 절차가 반드시 뒤따라야 한다.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the technological competitiveness of the environmental industry with developed countries in order to establish an international market expansion strategy of the Korean environmental industry and technology. In order to evaluate the competitiveness of the environmental industry and technology, core technologies were classified by the environmental industry sectors based on the classification system of the domestic and international environmental industry and technology. After developing the evaluation index data, the Delphi analysis, journal and patent analysis, as well as the export and import analysis were carried out and the standardization analysis was performed on the index data. Moreover, the weights of each evaluation index were calculated using the AHP(Analytic Hierarchy Process) method and the evaluation results of competitiveness of the environmental industry and technology in Korea, the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, and France were derived. As a result of the evaluation, the United States was rated with the highest technological competitiveness in all the environmental industry sectors, while Korea got the lowest technological competitiveness rating compared to the 4 developed countries. In particular, Korea got the lowest level of technological competitiveness in the sector of multi-media environmental management and development for a sustainable social system. Therefore, in order for the Korean environmental industry and technology to enter the global advanced market, it is necessary to strengthen the competitiveness through the development of the fourth environmental industry based on IoT(Internet of Things), cloud, big data, mobile, and AI(Artificial Intelligence), which are currently the country's domestic strengths.
