본 연구는 연구개발의 기술적 성과에 비하여 상대적으로 저조한 경제적 성과를 제고하기 위해 중소기업의 기술사업화를 촉진하는 한국형 기술사업화 모델 및 이를 위한 과학적 연구방법론 제시를 목적으로 하고 있다. 먼저 기술사업화의 성공실패에 관련된 연구 중 하나인 신제품개발에서 경제적 성과에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 요인들을 선행연구를 통해 확인하고 우리나라 중소기업의 기술사업화 추진실태와 과제를 진단한다. 다음으로 세계 R&D 동향과 국내 대기업에서 추진하고 있는 6시그마 연구혁신 모델 및 기술사업화의 경제적 성과를 제고하기 위한 과학적 연구방법론 벤치마킹 분석 등의 결과를 토대로 우리나라 중소기업들이 수행하는 연구개발의 기술적 성과는 물론 경제적 성과도 제고할 수 있는 시장중심 R&D를 위한 한국형 기술사업화 모델과 이를 위한 5가지 과학적 연구 방법론을 제시한다. 1990년대 후반부터 등장하기 시작한 새로운 R&D동향은 사업부나 고객뿐만 아니라 공급자 등 외부 파트너들과의 상호 긴밀한 협력 하에 이들의 명시적인 니즈는 물론 암묵지 형태의 니즈까지도 파악하여 이를 R&D 활동에 반영하기 시작하였다. 특히 기업은 1980년대 정보화 진전, 변화의 가속화에 따라 연구과제의 성공이 바로 기업발전으로 연결되지 않는다는 것을 자각하기 시작했다. 단순히 R&D 활동만을 중시하는 것이 아니라 기술을 어떻게 마케팅과 연계시킬 것인가가 더욱 중요하게 되었다. 신기술을 신시장에 연결시키는 것이 용이하지 않지만, 성공 시에는 높은 가치창출을 기대할 수 있으므로 기업들은 R&D활동 보다 높은 가치를 창출하려는 활동에 관심을 가져야만 한다. 이와 같은 글로벌 환경 변화에 능동적으로 대처하고 제4차 산업혁명시대 중소기업의 연구개발 투자가 경제적 성과로 촉진될 수 있도록 본 연구에서 제시된 시장중심 R&D를 위한 한국형 기술사업화 모델과 5가지 과학적 연구방법론이 크게 기여하기를 기대해 본다.

Gender Representation of animation character that is discussed in this essay is a semantic discourse that is related to communication with contemporary audience. For gender Representation of animation character, as it can be thought that linguistic elements for signification with audience are materialized, it has a significant value when it comes to communication with audience. Commercial success of Disney's feature length animation Frozen is from excellent aesthetic principles and techniques and global marketing capabilities of Disney studio. However, independent and active gender representation of Elsa and Anna in Frozen are more important commercial successful elements. Especially, Gender representation of these two characters reflects myth of women who live in this modern society so their linguistic meaning can appear affluently. That also means that those two characters have advantages, in terms of communication, that can have effective signification with contemporary audience as linguistic sign.

The purpose of this study is to forecast the ship-management market size and to propose a management improvement scheme to support Korean ship management companies in the stagnating world shipping market. Recently, global shipping companies have begun outsourcing all ship management activities. However, the Korean ship-management market represents just 3.75% of ocean shipping companies' sales, making it necessary to enlarge this market. This study performs a business analysis of ship management companies in Korea. The findings show that these companies' profitability and financial structures are not very good, mainly because of insufficient management ability and small firm sizes. Therefore, we propose that the Korean government supports crew training programs and shipping financial systems.

The T-DMB(Terrestrial Digital Multimedia Broadcasting) which was developed by the convergence of digital broadcasting technology and communication technology provides us with very good quality of music like CD, and provides TV services in a super express train like the KTX whose velocity is over 300 Km per hour. The T-DMB is diffusing toward the world as a technology which is be able to provide the various convergent services of broadcasting and communication through mobile phone, PDA, dedicated terminal, and so on. A business model needed for the diffusion of the T-DMB toward the world was established and utilized to expand the T-DMB into Vietnam in the paper. In addition, this paper describes not only some predicting methods for the technological valuation of the T-DMB Total Solution, but also a case study on the marketing related to establishing the T-DMB system in order to provide the paid services in Vietnam. Finally, A couple of business models needed to globally expand the T-DMB have been provided.

The national boundary's meanings turn to weak according to advent of Global enterprises. The place for design a product and marketing are separated to actual market. R&D is to the area where the knowledge activity is well, and low skilful product assembling is to the place the low wage is acceptable. It shows that the importance of net work structure. From early 90's, production system is diversified to markets where with the consumer as the central as multifarious items and creation new demands through consumer's participation into manufacturing process. This phenomenon show that logistics structures adapt to demand of technical variation, and the development of e-business with VAN(:value added network) and EDI(:Electronic data interchange) prove it. This study tried to analyze utilitarian assay about systems those land, sea, air logistics through documents research, and this study also present the direction of logistics system of airline company and goal of development on the based to the model of domestic airline company accordingly.

Korean foreign direct investment (FDI) firms procure cheap raw materials, produce goods in developing countries featuring low rent and labor costs, and sell goods in world market. In this regard, global supply chain management is important to Korean FDI firms. The objective of this study is to analyze gaps in the performance of reliability and quality of supply chain orientations. To achieve this objective, this study confirms theoretical relationships between variables through prior research, selects measuring variables, and analyzes data collected from Korean FDI firms. Results are as follows; First, there is a gap in reliability performance among the levels of supply chain orientation. Managers should check the level of their supply chain orientation and make strategic and structural efforts to improve reliability performance. Second, there is a gap in quality performance among the levels of supply chain orientation. To improve quality performance, managers should identify the level of their supply chain orientation. In addition, managers can enhance quality performance on the basis of strategic and structural efforts.

The purpose of this study is to classify the types of internationalization strategies utilized by Korean ventures and to examine whether there is a significant relationship between these types and internationalization performances. Specifically we tested whether there is a good feasibility through empirical analysis of the study model constructed through the following process. As a criterion of typification, the capability of international entrepreneurship and the capability of effectuation of a venture were chosen, and a model in which those three types exist based on the capabilities is established. The characteristics of each type and the contents of internationalization strategy are explained and empirical analysis is conducted. We also test whether there are significant differences in internationalization performance for each type. As a result of the cluster analysis, we concluded that there are three types : pioneer, careful preparation and passive response. In addition, these three types have significant differences in the levels of performances of reputation in foreign markets and the accumulation of knowledge in international management. This implies significant differences among the performances of each type of ventures according to their internationalization strategy positions. Therefore, the type of venture should be considered when a venture establishes its internationalization strategy and governments set supporting policy for venture companies.
