Port hinterland has been experiencing difficulty in generating new cargo volume and high value-added activity. It will be able to contribute to create new cargo volume and high added-value if transshipment cargo can be switched to trusted processing and then attract to port hinterland. This paper estimates items and volume size that can be the appropriate to attract in port hinterland and also be able to switch to trusted processing based on the trade data and manifest of transshipment container. The 50 items were classified from the result of trusted processing trade and the 33 items of them were suggested as the appropriate to attract in the port hinterland. The result shows that the 3.2 times transshipment cargo volume which is large than the total volume of trusted processing trade in Korea is transshipped at Busan port. This study is the first research to compare trade data and manifest of transshipment container, and thus it contributes to attracting firms in the port hinterland for the port authorities and the government.

This study empirically analyzes the policy demand for population inflow in Hongcheon-gun, a region that has experienced population decline over the past decade. The results of this study based on the multinominal logit model provide the policy implications as follows. First, due to the differing factors influencing the demand for population inflow policies among the young and the elderly, local governments should clearly define the policy targets for population inflow. Second, in the context of policy demand for population inflow through corporate attraction, we identify statistically significant and positive effects of the length of residence for both young and old people, and the level of formal education for the elderly. These results emphasize the importance of formulating population inflow policies distinctively targeted for the young and the elderly generations, respectively, thereby increasing population inflow in the population reduction area.

외국인투자 유치를 통해 국내산업의 생산성을 향상시키는 것이 중요한데 외국인투자가 한국의 산업생산성에 어떤 영향을 미쳤는지에 대한 실증연구가 전무한 것이 현실이다. 본 연구는 기업데이터를 이용하여 외국인투자의 생산성효과를 추정하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 상기 분석을 통해 얻은 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 외국인소유기업의 노동생산성이 높다. 둘째, 외국인투자의 생산성 파급효과는 양(+)의 효과를 가지나 통계적으로 유의하지 않다. 즉, 생산성 파급효과가 미미하다고 볼 수 있다. 이상의 결론은 매우 중요한 시사점을 갖는다. 우선 외국인투자기업이 선진기술 및 경영노하우를 전수할 능력을 가졌을 가능성을 시사한다. 외국인투자를 유치하는 중요한 이유 중의 하나인 선진기술 및 경영노하우 전수의 전제조건인 외국인투자기업의 기술 및 노하우 소유가 실제로 성립할 가능성을 시사한다. 하지만 외국인투자가 국내산업 전반의 효율성 제고로 이어지는 데는 아직 장애요인이 존재함을 암시한다. 경쟁규율이 확립되지 않았거나 기술파급을 위한 제도적 여건이 미비한 것이 원인일 가능성이 있다. 따라서 정책적인 시사점은 어떻게 기술파급효과를 극대화할 것인가에 집중된다. 경쟁에서 낙오한 기업의 퇴출을 확실히 제도화함으로써 외국인투자의 경쟁압력이 기업의 효율성 증가로 이어지도록 해야 할 필요가 있으며 각종 반경쟁적 관행 또는 행위를 단속할 수 있는 경쟁정책의 확립이 요구된다. 또한 노동시장의 유연성 제고, 산업입지정책의 효율화 등을 통해 외국인투자의 기술이전 및 확산효과가 극대화되도록 해야 할 것이다.

The purpose of this paper is to classify individual startups by growth stage based on data-based quantitative criteria. This is to provide a basis for systematic support for government startups based on accurate statistics on the startup growth process. This startups were the TIPS (Tech Incubator Program for Startup) support company, which used a relatively reliable startup. We found seed money to complete MVP (Minimum Viable Product) within 1.5 years after establishment, verified PMF (Product-Market Fit) within 1 year, attracted Series A investment within 2.5 years after establishment, and successfully commercialized it. It attracted Series B investment for stable growth within 1.5 years (Series B investment within 4 years from start-up). The results of the study, the division of government programs that support stage-based startup commercialization, that is, within three years and within seven years of establishment, is significant to date. Three directions are suggested for future research. First, develop indicators for monitoring startup growth stages. Second, it continuously updates the annual changes and tracks the growth stages of individual startups. Third, we discover the successful growth law of technology-based startups by applying in-depth case analysis of successful startups to the model.

The purpose of this research is to improve the investment success rate for startups in the water industry for the development of the entrepreneurial environment of the Korean water industry. In this research, we identified investment determinants through prior research and stratified them, and then surveyed the investor group at the beginning of the start-up using the FGI method, and determined the order of the investment determinants of investors. At the same time, we classified 41 start-ups related to the water industry into two groups: the group that received investment and the group that did not in the early stages of the start-up. Then we investigated the understanding of the investor's investment determinants, ranked them, and compared them by using the AHP technique. Through this, this research proposes five implications. First, it is important for start-ups in the early stages to receive seed investment to revitalize investment for startups in the water industry. For this, startups need to understand investors and prepare to attract investment with the perspective of angel investors rather than the perspective of VC investors. Second, Start-ups in the water sector should consider that the characteristics of the founder are important in order to receive seed investment, and also need to define their business at the industry and market level, and provide relevant rationale to meet the expectations of investors who value industry expertise and experience, and to increase the possibility of seed investment, which is important in the early stages of a startup. Third, institutions, such as K-water(Korea Water Resources Corporation), that support water industry startups need to conduct open innovation business opportunities discovery programs linked to startups so that startups currently participating in the startup support program could have business opportunities from the business infrastructure of platform-forming companies in the water industry. In particular, such institutions should help founders develop their industrial expertise and careers by supporting this type of start-up preparation process through the participation of in-house venture founders. Fourth, when K-water uses the government start-up support fund to discover and foster founders, it should increase initial contact with seed investors, conduct more thorough verification of business plans, and develop programs that use government start-up support funds to prepare a business suitable for seed angel investors. Fifth, K-water should support seed by connecting funds for initial investment among funds operated by itself. It is also necessary to develop a program that links the company receiving the seed investment with VC investment, not angel investment in cooperation with the VC fund operation entity participating as an LP so that companies that have attracted seed investment could attract follow-up VC investment.

Disasters and crises are spreading across the globe, and there has been an increase in the number disasters in northeast Asia, such as earthquakes in Sichuan, China, and East Japan. This study aims to propose a plan to attract facilities from the United Nations Humanitarian Response Depot (UNHRD). Although there are no prior domestic studies, the study focuses on the role of intangible benefits, values, and economic outcomes in attracting facilities. Based on an analysis of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) of Korea's host environment, using the UN's annual report and Korea's overseas emergency relief data, the study will analyze the status of relevant UN organizations and derive detailed strategies. In order to attract facilities from the UNHRD, it will be necessary to build and promote a cooperative system with domestic and foreign NGO experts in humanitarian assistance and joint proposals from government departments and local governments. In the long-run, it will be necessary to work closely with the relevant UN agencies to achieve strategic progress.

지난 7월10일 부터 7월20일가지 한국과학기술단체총연합회(회장 민관식)와 재미한국과학기술자 협회(회장 최상일)는 제5차 국내외한국과학기술자 종합학술대회를 개최한바 있다. 종합학술대회 개최 목적의 하나인 재외 한국과학기술자 국내유치을 위해 대회 마지막 날인 7월20일 과학기술회관9층 강당에서 재미한국과학기술자 국내유치를 위한 간담회가 열렸다. 해외에서 활약하고 있는 한국과학기술인의 우수한 두뇌를 국내에 유치하여 과학기술의 진흥과 산업발전에 가속화 하자는 것은 오늘의 시점에서 볼 때 충분한 타당성을 지닌 의도이다. 반면에 해외에서 활동중인 우리 과학기술인들이 조국의 현실을 이해하면서도 선뜻 돌아오지 못하고 있는 이유는 무엇인가? 그들의 희망은? 그들의 요구는? 또한 이미 유치되어 일하고 있는 이들의 형편은? 국내 산업기술계와 기업체 대표들의 발언을 간추려 본다. 이날 간담회에는 국내측에서 민관식 과총회장을 비롯 산업기술계 중진들과 재미측에서 최상일 박사 (재미과협화장)등 재미과학기술자(제5차 종합학술대회 참가자)100여명이 참석하여 성황을 이뤘다.

In this paper, we investigate the relationship between a company's Intellectual Property (IP) portfolio strength and its success in obtaining venture funding in the Korean digital media & entertainment industry. Using data from 685 Korean digital media & entertainment companies registered in Crunchbase, a global database provider of venture funding information, we found that a strong IP portfolio is positively associated with funding success. Furthermore, our study revealed that the effect of IP portfolio strength on funding success is stronger for younger companies, suggesting that IP portfolio is more critical for firms that have less reputation and track record.
