얼마 전까지 우리나라는 고유기술에 의한 우리제품의 국제경쟁력을 확보하지 못하고 상대적 저급기술에 저임금으로 경쟁력을 키워왔다고 할 수 있다. 이와 같은 상황은 일정수준에 다다를 경우 성장의 한계에 직면하고 결국은 고급기술을 요구할 수 밖에 없다. 이에 따라 최근 기업들은 부설연구소를 설립하고 필요한 기술을 확보하는데 골몰하고 있다. 정부도 국가적 차원에서 기술개발자원을 아끼지 않았으나 막대한 연구비를 투입하여 개발한 기술에 대하여 그 관리가 적절하였는가에 대하여는 의구심을 떨칠 수가 없다. 개발된 기술을 효율적으로 활용하기 위한 관리가 필요하다. 현재 연구개발에 투입된 재원의 5%만이라도 개발된 기술관리에 투자하면 더 큰 성과를 올릴 것이다.

최근 국내 양계산업을 둘러싸고 있는 여러 여건들을 볼 때 가슴조이는 긴장의 연속이라고 말할 수 있다. 작년 12월 전 세계를 놀라게 한 조류독감(AI)은 우리 닭고기 시장을 얼어붙게 하였으며, 또한 국제 옥수수 수송비 상승과 함께 국내 사료 가격은 불과 6개월 사이에 3차례에 걸쳐 $30\%$ 가까이 올랐고 국제유가도 가파른 상승세를 지속하고 있다. 이러한 고유가, 고사료가 시대를 맞은 우리 양계산업의 경쟁력은 상대적으로 약화됨과 동시에 닭고기 수입량의 증가와 계란 소비의 둔화, 그리고 불안정한 가격체계 등 여러 어려운 문제점들이 현안으로 떠오르고 있다. 이와같이 국제화 시대에 가격 경쟁력을 약화시키는 주요인으로는 병아리 품질 저하와 낙후된 계사시설을 들 수 있으며, 이중 병아리의 품질저하는 우리나라 종계장과 부화장이 영세한데다 병아리의 수급 물량이 쉽게 급변하는데 기인하고 있으며 계사 시설의 낙후는 아직도 생산농가의 사육규모가 영세한데 따른 것으로 볼 수 있다.

In order to obtain and maintain competitive advantage, under rapidly changing maritime environment, liners should make efforts to reinforce their logistics service capabilities. Most of all, for this, shipping lines should accurately recognize and evaluate their logistics service attributes. In the present research, various logistics service attributes for ocean carriers were selected from previous studies and the observed data for 6 main service attributes were collected through a questionnaire survey to 31 maritime experts. Moreover, shipping lines' relative logistics service capabilities were measured by an additional survey process. The comparative gravity between core evaluation factors were measured by AHP technique and the relative capability levels of 2 Korean liners and 5 foreign shipping companies were assessed by utilizing a fuzzy model. The empirical result presents that Korean liners are superior at customer service capability but inferior at freight rate competitiveness. This research shows that Korean liners are ranked at high position for overall logistics service capabilities and focusing on the differentiation strategy but not on the cost related strategy.

A network connectivity has been regarded as a key element to strengthen a business competitive power in the aviation industry, so many airport authorities try to attract the new airlines and scheme out new air routes. With this trend, a study for an induced travel demand estimation methodology is needed. This study introduces a demand estimation method, especially for a new air route to a promising destination. With the results of previous studies, the derived demand is classified into four types - Local, Beyond, Behind and Bridge. The explanatory variables are established for each type of demand and the main independent variables are composed of distance, ratio of detour, and relative capacity compared with other airports. The equations using such variables and statistically significant coefficients are suggested as the model to make an estimation of derived demand for a new route. Therefore this study will be expected to take an initial step for all related parties to be involved more deeply into developing new air routes to enhance network connectivity.
