The Swedish labor market secures flexibility in the use of labor force by means of non-regular workers such as temporary workers among others instead of regular workers' layoffs. Although the labor law reform in the late 2000s made it easier to use temporary workers and the outbreak of the economic crisis strengthened the power of user firms against labor unions, the size of temporary workers was scaled down. It is the aim of this study to analyze the change in the use of temporary workers, to examine the effect of the labor law reform and that of economic crisis in that regard, and to explain how, over the use of temporary workers, user firms' strategy to secure flexibility and labor unions' strategy to regulate flexibility interact with each other so as to establish a new equilibrium through conflicts and compromises. The labor law reform to enhance the flexibility in the use of temporary workers failed to entail amendments of collective contracts. Besides, out of the economic crisis, user firms adopted a new policy to use third party workers more, refraining from employing temporary workers. That's why the number of temporary workers has declined eventually. User firms prefer to use third party workers because they could avoid their own responsibility as an employer and they could rely on 'permanent temporary' workers without any time limit. Labor unions, however, responded with a strategy to lay more strict regulations on the use of third party workers, so that third party workers could be used only for limited cause for external numerical flexibility. As a result, the managed flexibility thesis comes to prevail to the usage of non-regular workers in general beyond the category of agency workers. Korea with severe abuse of third party workers should learn from Swedish labor unions' strategy to provide third party workers with stronger employment security and higher wages so as to prevent user firms from abusing third party workers.

The purpose of this study is to survey startup founders within 7 years of founding the importance and satisfaction of the components of the scale-up entrepreneurial ecosystem at the national level in Korea and analyze the direction of scale-up policy by component using IPA (importance-performance analysis). Since the perception of founders, who are the subjects of the entrepreneurial ecosystem, affects the quantity and quality of start-ups, research is needed to analyze and diagnose the perception of scale-up components. For the development of the national economy and entrepreneurial ecosystem, companies that emerge from startups to scale-up and unicorns must be produced, and for this, elements for the scale-up entrepreneurial ecosystem are needed. The results of this study are as follows. First, the importance ranking of the components of the scale-up entrepreneurial ecosystem recognized by founders was in the order of "Financial support by growth stage," "Support for customized scale-up for enterprises," "Improvement of regulations," "Funds dedicated to scale-up," "large-scale investment," and "nurturing technical talents." Second, the factors that should be intensively improved in the importance-satisfaction matrix in the future were 'Pan-Government Integration Promotion Plan', 'Scale-Up Specialized Organization Operation', 'Company Customized Scale-Up Support', 'Regulatory Improvement', and 'Building a Korean Scale-Up Model'. As a result, various and large financial capital for the scale-up entrepreneurial ecosystem, diversification of scale-up programs by business sector, linkage of start-ups and scale-up support, deregulation of new technologies and new industries, strengthening corporate-tailored scale-up growth capabilities, and providing overseas networking opportunities can be derived. In addition, it is expected to contribute to policy practice and academic work with research that derives the components of the domestic scale-up entrepreneurial ecosystem and diagnoses its perception.

In terms of the international air transport, the open skies policy implies freedom in the sky or opening the sky. In the normative respect, the open skies policy is a kind of open-door policy which gives various forms of traffic right to other countries, but on the other hand it is a policy of free competition in the international air transport. Since the Airline Deregulation Act of 1978, the United States has signed an open skies agreement with many countries, starting with the Netherlands, so that competitive large airlines can compete in the international air transport market where there exist a lot of business opportunities. South Korea now has an open skies agreement with more than 20 countries. The frequent flyer program (FFP) is part of a broad-based marketing alliance which has been used as an airfare strategy since the U.S. government's airline deregulation. The membership-based program is an incentive plan that provides mileage points to customers for using airline services and rewards customer loyalty in tangible forms based on their accumulated points. In its early stages, the frequent flyer program was focused on marketing efforts to attract customers, but now in the environment of intense competition among airlines, the program is used as an important strategic marketing tool for enhancing business performance. Therefore, airline companies agree that they need to identify customer needs in order to secure loyal customers more effectively. The outcomes from an airline's frequent flyer program can have a variety of effects on international competition. First, the airline can obtain a more dominant position in the air flight market by expanding its air route networks. Second, the availability of flight products for customers can be improved with an increase in flight frequency. Third, the airline can preferentially expand into new markets and thus gain advantages over its competitors. However, there are few empirical studies on the airline frequent flyer program. Accordingly, this study aims to explore the effects of the program on international competition, after reviewing the types of strategic alliance between airlines. Making strategic airline alliances is a worldwide trend resulting from the open skies policy. South Korea also needs to be making open skies agreements more realistic to promote the growth and competition of domestic airlines. The present study is about the performance of the airline frequent flyer program and international competition under the open skies policy. With a sample of five global alliance groups (Star, Oneworld, Wings, Qualiflyer and Skyteam), the study was attempted as an empirical study of the effects that the resource structures and levels of information technology held by airlines in each group have on the type of alliance, and one-way analysis of variance and regression analysis were used to test hypotheses. The findings of this study suggest that both large airline companies and small/medium-size airlines in an alliance group with global networks and organizations are able to achieve high performance and secure international competitiveness. Airline passengers earn mileage points by using non-flight services through an alliance network with hotels, car-rental services, duty-free shops, travel agents and more and show high interests in and preferences for related service benefits. Therefore, Korean airline companies should develop more aggressive marketing programs based on multilateral alliances with other services including hotels, as well as with other airlines.

Interest in Fintech is extremely growing as O2O which means the binding of online and offline appears. The scale of private consumption in South korea reached about 700 trillion won, however, the online trading is only about 60 trillion won, which means 640 trillion won is still trading in offline. The reason the Fintech industry comes into the spotlight is because the foundation of related industries such as the rise of mobile traffic and the fast growth of the financial transaction through the mobile channel is forming. Especially, the introduction of payment systems among these Fintech industries offers convenience to the consumer. Mobile payment has been generalized in daily life such as utility bills and taxi fares. Use of O2O service in various industrial fields in commerce gives convenience to consumers and increase in sales to business in recent commercial transaction which is moving to on-demand channel services. People in smartphone life are supposed to find more convenient services for saving time using their phone, and this kind of environment makes the ordering goods and services through Fintech payments increase. The emergence of O2O services influences the development of Fintech industry and the emergence of convenient and reliable Fintech service through the deregulation of Fintech also affects the activation of O2O services. The complementary relationships between O2O services and Fintech would contribute to economic activation. From the standpoint of the researchers, I would like to further study the methods that can lead to a new paradigm of the financial payments industry through the development of Fintech and the drafts for the market expansion of the current offline commerce making it online in the advent of O2O services in variety industries.

In this study, first, current state and future prospects of indirect real estate investment systems after foreign exchange crisis are analyzed, and second, policy alternatives for activating indirect real estate investment markets are examined. After foreign exchange crisis, various indirect real estate investment systems, such as REITs, ABS and CRC, were introduced. Present market size of indirect real estate investment is not larger than expected. The reasons are the problems of incomplete system on the one hand, and real estate market conditions on the other hand. But long term prospects of indirect real estate investment markets may not be pessimistic. Considering the positive effects of indirect real estate investment systems to the real estate and financial markets, policy supports for activating indirect real estate investment market may be needed. The representative alternatives are reconciliation and integration of indirect real estate investment systems, upgrading the infrastructure of real estate industry, and activating the networks between indirect real estate investment markets and related markets such as financial makets, capital markets, restructuring markets.

Remodeling the existing building structure by recycling has great advantages compared with reconstruction in terms of environmentally contributions and reduced use of national resources. And no matter the existing floor area ratio, extension up to 30% of the exclusive using area and short project period have made remodeling a good alternative to reconstruction. However, the residents of aged housings that were being remodeled are either abandoning the remodeling project and turning to reconstruction. The main reason is remodeling project cannot increase the number of householders. In principal, it is prohibited to increase the number of floors during remodeling due to matters of safety. That is, all remodeling construction costs are borne by the residents, which leads to great financial pressure. Therefore, in order to improve these conditions, the residents' burden of remodeling charges should be reduced, and one of the ways to do so is to increase the number of householders. In this study, there will be suggestions of alternatives, including the story increase during remodeling, and compare the burden of remodeling charges on each of the residents, between proposed alternatives and the current remodeling plans by calculating the construction costs in order to prepare a foundation for a system that will promote remodeling.

Urguay Round(UR) has lots of implication in the forest product market as well as the other sectors of the economy. Chestnut, one of the major forest product in Korea, would be affected by free trade resulting from the agreement on UR. To establish effective policy measures dealing with negative effects of free trade, if any, the effect of UR on producers should be figured out. In this contest, the purposes of this study are (1) estimating the demand, supply and its price functions of this market and (2) forecasting the effect of UR on growers. Using econometric method, demand, supply and price function of this market are estimated. The total amount of yearly money loss of growers due to free trade from 1992 to 2001 are estimated for four different scenarios. In each scenario, it is assumed that the tariffication reduction is 30%, 40%, 50% and 90%. Yearly money loss of chestnut growers at the year 2001 are forecasted such as 14 billion won, 18 billion won, 24 billion won and 25 billion won for the rate of tariffication reduction of 30%, 40%, 50%, and 90%, respectively.

지구온난화 및 환경오염의 영향으로 선진국을 중심으로한 환경규제가 심해지면서, 홈 텍스타일 분야에서는 세계 패션 트렌드 및 소비자 선호에 부응한 친환경 섬유소재 개발, 웰빙 시대에 적합한 기능성 및 고감성 제품개발을 통한 차별화가 요구되고 있다. 최근의 섬유산업의 동향도 인체에 무해한 천연적인 섬유소재에 많은 관심이 증대됨에 따라 개인의 건강 뿐만 아니라 환경을 생각하는 생활패턴인 친환경섬유의 개발이 새로운 트렌드로 떠오르고 있는 실정이다. 헴프는 일년생 식물로서 학명은 Cannabis sativa L.이다. 헴프섬유의 장점으로 내구성 및 내수성, 항균성 등이 우수한 것으로 보고되고 있으나 양질의 원료 확보, 세섬도 추출 기술 및 combing 기술 등의 부족으로 100% 헴프 세 번수 방적사의 제조가 어려워 주로 면섬유와의 혼합소재로 제조되어 왔다. 최근 들어, 친환경 소재로서 박테리아 성장 억제 기능을 가진 재생섬유인 Tencel 소재를 이용하여 stiff한 Hemp의 성질에 유연성을 추가하여 촉감을 개선함과 동시에, Tencel과 Hemp를 혼용함으로써 soft touch부터 harsh touch까지 혼용율에 의한 다양한 감성을 느끼게 함으로써 용도의 다양화 추구가 시도되어 왔다. Hemp의 거친 느낌을 완화시키고 Tencel의 박테리아 억제 기능과 Hemp의 항균기능, 방충, 탈취기능이 상호 보완되어 친환경적이고 위생적인 다용도 홈 인테리어 및 가구용 직물 등의 제품으로 Hemp/Tencel 복합사가 많이 사용되고 있다. 본 연구는 Hemp와 Tencel의 혼용율의 변화에 따른 복합사의 물리적 특성을 확인하기 위하여 천연복합 태번수 방적사 최적 사설계 이론을 적용하여 Hemp 섬유 혼용율에 따른 사의 물성분석을 함으로써 Hemp/Tencel 방적사 최적 공정 조건을 결정하기 위한 사설계 이론 결과와 실험결과를 비교 분석하고자 한다. 최적 천연 Hemp복합방적사 사설계의 이론화 및 사 물성 DB화 그리고 태번수 Hemp사의 물성분석 및 이들을 DB화 함으로써 가구용 직물로 많이 사용되는 친환경 Hemp 소재사의 방적성 향상을 꾀하고자 한다. 이를 위해서 제조한 방적사의 Dry heat shrinkage와 Wet heat shrinkage를 측정하여 확인하였고 인장시험기를 이용하여 Tenacity, Initial Modulus, breaking strain을 측정 분석하였다. 방적사의 표면 특성은 영상 현미경 시스템을 사용하여 ${\times}40$ 배율로 측정하여 확인하였다.
