이 글은 2012년 3월 9일 '무역 및 경쟁 정책에 관한 국제 원탁회의(International Roundtable on Trade and Competition Policy) 비공개전문가회의'에서 Shanker A. Singham이 발표한 자료와 참석자들의 토의내용을 발표 이후 정리, 이를 요약문 형식으로 번역(의역)한 것이다. 이 글의 주요 논지는 경쟁당국의 지식재산권에 대한 전통적 관점에 대한 재고찰로서, 필자는 "지식재산권 보호가 반드시 경쟁정책에 반하는 것은 아니고, 오히려 지식재산권 보호가 경쟁을 촉진하는 효과를 가진다"는 점을 강조하고 있다. 저자는 자신의 논지를 설명하면서 의약산업의 예시를 상당부분 들고 있다. 이 글 중에는 국내 사정과 정서에 일부 부합하지 않는 내용도 있을 수 있지만, 국내외 경쟁정책에 대한 다양한 관점을 경험할 수 있다는 점에서 의미가 있다고 생각한다.

대망의 21세기 새천년 첫장이 열렸다. 지난 한세기 역사의 격랑과 함께 해온 한국건축은 새천년의 시작과 함께 새로운 미래 설계에 나서고 있다. 많은 이들이 눈앞에 펼쳐진 새시대는 정보와 문화가 주도하는 글로벌시대가 될 것이라지만 과연 인류 자신들 조차도 앞날의 변화 발전 속도를 정확히 예측못하는 불확실성의 시대를 맞아 한국건축은 무엇을 준비해야 하며 어떻게 변신을 서둘러야 하는 것인가? 더욱이 오늘날 대륙간 경제블럭화와 무역장벽의 철폐 등 국제질서의 새로운 흐름들이 국경없는 무한경쟁시대의 도래를 재촉하는 가운데 세계 건축계에 새로운 체제개편의 바람이 불고 있고, 국내적으로는 건축수요의 다양화와 함께 건축의 경제 문화적 가치의 극대화를 요구받는 사례가 크게 늘고 있어 이들 안팎의 흐름들이 우리 앞날에 적지않은 영향을 가져다줄 것으로 예상된다. 건축의 삶의 그릇이자 사회적 자산으로서 그 시대를 가장 적절하게 반영하는 틀이 되기 위해서는 이러한 시대적 변화의 흐름을 지나칠 수 없을 뿐만 아니라 시대의 반영물로서 건축문화의 기본틀을 형성하고 발전시키는 일은 건축인들의 절대적 사명인 것이다. 따라서 이제 새천년의 출발점에 선 한국건축은 오늘의 자기모습을 진지하게 뒤돌아보는 자세로부터 시작해 발전적 미래상을 정립해 나가야 한다. 이에 본지에서는 지난호에 이어 '21세기 한국건축의 비전'을 주제로 특집 시리즈를 마련해 건축 각분야의 전문가와 함께 다각적 시가에서 오늘의 우리건축을 진단하고 이를 바탕으로 새천년의 비전을 조망해 본다.

This study examines the concept and related technologies of the 4th industrial revolution that has been mixed so far and examines the socio-economic changes and influences resulting from it, and the cases of responding to the 4th industrial revolution in major countries. Based on this, by deriving SWOT factors and calculating the importance of each factor for Korean venture companies to prepare for the forth industrial revolution, it was intended to help the government and policymakers in suggesting directions for establishing related policies. Furthermore, the purpose of this study was to suggest a direction for securing global competitiveness to Korean venture entrepreneurs and to help with basic and systematic analysis for further academic in-depth research. For this study, a total of 21 items derived through extensive literature research and data research to understand what are the necessary competency factors for internal and external environmental changes in order for Korean venture companies to have global competitiveness in the era of the 4th Industrial Revolution. After reviewing SWOT factors by three expert groups and confirming them through Delphi survey, the importance of each item was analyzed by using AHP, a systematic decision-making technique. As a result of the analysis, it was shown that Strength(48%), Opportunity(25%), Threat(16%), Weakness(11%) were considered important in order. In terms of sub-items, 'quick and flexible commercialization capability', 'platform/big data/non-face-to-face service activation', and 'ICT infrastructure and it's utilization' were shown to be of the comparatively high importance. On the other hand, in the lower three items, 'macro-economic stability and social infrastructure', 'difficulty in entering overseas markets due to global protectionism', and 'absolutely inferior in foreign investment' were found to have low priority. As a result of the correlation verification by item to see differences in opinions by industry, academia, and policy expert groups, there was no significant difference of opinion, as industry and academic experts showed a high correlation and industry experts and policy experts showed a moderate correlation. The correlation between the academic and policy experts was not statistically significant (p<0.01), so it was analyzed that there was a difference of opinion on importance. This was due to the fact that policy experts highly valued 'quick and flexible commercialization', which are strengths, and 'excellent educational system and high-quality manpower' and 'creation of new markets' which are opportunity items, while academic experts placed great importance on 'support part of government policy', which are strengths. The implication of this study is that in order for Korean venture companies to secure competitiveness in the field of the 4th industrial revolution, it is necessary to have a policy that preferentially supports the relevant items of strengths and opportunity factors. The difference in the details of strength factors and opportunity factors, which shows a high level of variability, suggests that it is necessary to actively review it and reflect it in the policy.

Korean general trading companies had started their business to benchmark and to adopt the successful new business models of the Japanese ones. Nevertheless, the strategic gaps between Korean and Japanese GTCs, Sogo-Shosha, still exist, including financial profitability and managerial competencies. In this regard, it is academically and practically required to find out the differences between Korean and Japanese GTCs. This study overviews the previous researches and the business cases to understand the features of GTCs and to get recent and meaningful factors which are related with the rebirth of Sogo-Shosha. Thereafter, in-depth interviews with industry experts and scholars and subsequent investigations were also conducted to suggest meaningful implications for both academicians and practitioners with the found factors. This study suggests four fundamental differences between the Korean and Japanese GTCs: ① the origin and growth path, ② business ownership, governance strategies and contracts management, ③ availabilities of investment portfolio and risk management, ④ business operation system and organizational culture. This study suggests meaningful implications for Korean GTCs to apply the experiences and lessons learned from Japanese Sogo-Shosha into their own business.
