There are many government-led efforts for exploiting new growth engine to survive in a globally competitive environment. as a representative strategy, technology standardization policy is promoted by many countries. Although each country has unique characteristics in facilitating technology standardization, we can recently observe different strategy from conventional way like in United States. Thus, this study examines government-led technology standardization for activating emerging industry. Using case analysis, cloud computing is analyzed in terms of standardization organization and process perspectives, and technology standardization efforts by government in United States and Korea are compared. According to case analysis, this study investigates changes of the government-led standardization strategies for each country and suggests implications for activating emerging industry using technology standardization policy.

National preference enables a nation to achieve more advantageous position regarding international relations. Considering this benefit, the purpose of this study is to explore determinants of national preference between Korean and Japanese college students. To pursue this aim, two versions (translated to Korean and Japanese) of survey were conducted in Korea and Japan in 2015. A total of 370 (206 of Koreans and 164 of Japanese) college students were participated in the survey. Specifically, participants were asked to respond perceptions toward multiculturalism, international experiences, and consumption of media contents. Further, participants were asked to describe their knowledge and perception toward cultural contents of partnered country via open-ended questions. The results implies that Japanese music and books are significant determinants among Korean students in developing national preference toward Japan whereas Koran drama is more an effective factor among Japanese students to build national preference toward Korea. Based on the result, theoretical and practical implications were discussed.

The purpose of the article is to compare the impacts of energy efficiency and economic growth for energy demand through production frontier approach in OECD countries. We compared the traditional energy intensity with energy efficiencies of production frontier approach, slack efficiency on the frontier, and estimated elasticity of energy demand for GDP growth. First, the energy intensity has a low relationship with energy efficiency by radial approach, but has constant correlations with slack energy efficiency, slack-adjusted efficiency by non-radial approach, and energy efficiency by horizon approach. If we measure energy efficiency only with energy elasticity, it may make a mistake. Especially the energy efficiency by radial approach has a tendency to overestimate most OECD countries. Second, as many countries have excess energy consumption of 17.3% even on the points of the frontier, reduction of energy consumption is necessary in addition. Third, the average energy elasticity of OECD countries is 1.1 close to elasticity 1. There exists the difference of elasticity among countries and the energy demands are also high in countries with high elasticity.

The Jasmine Revolution started from Tunisia in January 2011 has brought many changes into countries in North Africa and Middle East. We need to study the causes of the revolution. First, the kings and dictators in those countries oppressed the opposition parties and the media aiming for long-term seizure of power. The power concentrated on specific people produced illegalities and corruption. Secondly, most of the national income of those countries belonged to kings and dictators producing problems during the distribution of the income. Especially, with the decrease of oil price in 1990s and the increase of the price of daily necessities in 2000s people lost their credits on their governments. Lastly, the number of people in those countries using the Internet has increased by 4,863% from 2000 to 2010. The expansion of social network services such as Facebook and Twitter was one of factors that made the information control by those countries difficult. We should think about the possibility of sudden change in North Korea. It is necessary to compare and analyze the political, economic and social characteristics between those countries and North Korea. It shouldn't be just a simple comparison or analysis. It should provide basic data for objective and quantified index development in relation to sudden change in North Korea.

The electric technology of modem stage is able to be convenient our everyday life and offers the chance to become a strong economic country. Therefore the education about the electricity and magnetism comes to be more and more important to enhance the electric technological power of each nation. In this paper, it is compared that how much the electricity and magnetism are treated in science education of primary and secondary school level in several nations such as USA, England, Japan, Taiwan, Singapore and Korea. We selected the teaching topics about the electricity and magnetism described in the curriculum of each nations and classified the topics by similarity to be easy in comparing. In results, Korea treats poorly most of the subjects in the middle school and early high schoollevel, but teach abrupt.ly much in the selection course of high school.

The foremost aim of the paper is to evaluate the flexibility and stability of the Korean labor market through a cross-country comparison with OECD countries. Evaluating by the OECD Employment Protection Legislation Index, the flexibility of permanent job layoff in Korea is close to the average of OECD countries. Employment of temporary workers appears to be relatively flexible allowing for effective indicators such as the proportion of temporary workers among paid employees. As regards security, the levels of job security, income security and combination security are all far below the OECD average. A panel data analysis of OECD countries reveals that labor productivity increases as regulations on permanent job layoff become looser and regulations on temporary employment become more rigorous.

최근 이슈화되고 있는 국가직무능력표준(NCS)에서 "방송통신직종"의 직무분석과 "국가기술자격검정"의 자격시험제도에 관한 실행방안을 알아본다. 국가직무능력표준은 학벌 중심의 사회에서 능력 중심의 사회로 전환하기 위한 정부의 정책방향에 따라 표준을 구성하였고, 표준에 기반 하여 학교교육 직업훈련 및 자격제도 개편을 하고자 시행되고 있다. 방송통신직종은 대분류가 정보통신이고, 중분류가 방송기술, 소분류가 방송제작기술, 방송플랫폼기술, 방송서비스로 분류되고 있다. 방송통신 직종의 각 세 분류 내에 능력단위를 보고 "국가기술자격검정"의 연관성을 검토하였다. 결과적으로 국가직무능력표준의 직무 능력단위의 수준을 검토함으로서 국가기술자격검정의 자격등급별로 타당성을 비교하였으나 능력단위 수준 및 능력단위의 내용이 가지고 있는 다양한 직업군을 자격검정으로 맞추지 못 할 것으로 판단이 되고, 자격제도의 올바른 시행을 위해서는 세부 항목을 검토하여 세분화하거나 자격검정을 새롭게 분류하여 제도화를 하거나 정비가 필요할 것으로 판단이 된다.

Today the traditional national intelligence activities which are mainly based on classified informations are confronted with several problems. These are excessive collection cost, morality of intelligence activity, objectivity of intelligence, intelligence dead zone and timeliness of intelligence etc. On the other hand, circumstances of national intelligence activity are rapidly changed. Those are rapid growth of internet, transformation of classified information into open one and rapid growth of intelligence capabilities of private sector. To cope these problems and circumstances, we reevaluated OSINT(Open Source INTelligence) which is collected from all kinds of open source informations on the internet. First, we classified OSINT into four categories corresponding to the traditional classified collection methods i.e., IMINT, SIGINT, HUMINT and MASINT. And we evaluate the value of OSINT in comparison with classified collection methods. Finally a system for national intelligence activity based on all kinds of open source intelligence on the internet is proposed, described and compared with the system of traditional national intelligence activity.
