Recently, with the US protection trade trend, South Korea 's exports to the US have shrunk and the need to pioneer emerging markets in Eurasia has increased. Due to the bankruptcy of Hanjin Shipping, a large Korean national shipping company, the necessity of securing transportation that can replace the Asian - European shipping route has emerged. Moreover, as the international trade and logistics environment is rapidly changing due to the spread of electronic commerce, it is time to prepare for the environment where IT technology is applied to international logistics activities. Therefore, this study was carried out to establish information strategy of Eurasia logistics information sharing platform from Korean perspective through comparison of logistics information level of Eurasian countries. This study aims at standardization direction for supporting logistics activities between Eurasian countries, providing customs clearance and logistics services without interruption, providing information for expanding business of trade companies, and building information linkage infrastructure for expanding cooperation between logistics companies across countries. Through this study, it is expected that logistics activities through information sharing among countries will be actively carried out.

Korean government had used public 'credit guarantee schemes' (CGS) as a counter-cyclical measure. However, it is still controversial about the effectiveness of policy financing on the SMEs. Criticism on policy financing involves the argument that supporting enterprises hampers competition and innovation of SMEs by increasing their dependence on the government and delays the exit of marginal firms. In this paper, we investigate how to effectively build up the rationale of running public CGSs. At the same time, we propose the ways to coexist of public credit guarantee and market-based private finance system for SMEs. First, CGS, as a counter-cyclical function, must coexist with the private financial system by compensating the market failure caused by pro-cyclical behavior of the private financial market. Second, CGS has the comparative advantages, compared to both the interest rate policy of the central bank and fiscal policy of the government. The credit guarantee is the symptomatic treatment that could revitalize the economy shortly by providing liquidity. Also, knowing that CGS is provided based on the leverage ratio defined by outstanding guarantee divided by capital fund, public 'credit guarantee' (CG) has an advantage that is free from the risk of government deficit. Third, the reason for existence of the CGS should be founded in supporting services for SMEs, available only in a public sector that is difficult to expect from private banks. In this regard, it is desirable to strengthen the publicness of credit guarantee over the support for start-ups, growing companies, the improvement of productivity, increase of exports, a long-term investment in facilities, the employment-creating businesses, and innovative enterprises.

As Korea has been industrialized high recently, the constructional plant part which is the major driving force to Korean economic growth is being developed. In spite of the great importance, there are many ill-prepared parts in EPC project management procedure, and working in practice of EPC project management procedure manual is not systematic. That is why the governmental progressive policy on the relevant technology and the establishment of EPC project management procedure are needed. This study was aimed to derive reform measures by analyzing problems of EPC project management procedure manuals which are in use at 13 large-sized construction companies currently. The reform measures which are based on the theory of PMI(Project Management Institute)'s PMBOK(Porjcet Management Body Of Knowledge) are about deriving administration factors to control the project, and EPC project administration factors are derived from the definition of CMAA(Construction Mangement Association of America). The reformed electronic EPC project management procedure manual system is set up by standardizing derived administration factors.

In spite of the increasing importance of service sector, most previous studies on schumpeterian hypotheses originated from manufacturing firms that have the needs to invest heavily in research and development (R&D). Conversely, we investigated the relationship between technological innovation activity and size of firms using panel data. Results of the analysis, the following results were obtained. First, the details depending on the industry sector was divided into active and vigorous industry technology innovation activities did not. Second, the relationship between firm size and technological innovation activity may not be, depending on the industry, some of the U-shaped model, may be. Third, showed fewer intangible assets, more debt, larger exports which further promote the technological innovation activities in industry. Finally, the relationship is responsive depend on the firm size variable.

This study examines the impact of national economic restructuring on regional development patterns. Korea's development over the last decade has been characterized by a rapid economic restructuring towards the information economy. This economic restructuring has had significant impacts on regional development patterns. The most remarkable feature is a clear coreperiphery disparity in terms of levels of informatization. Seoul showed an extraordinarily high level of informatization. The process of regional development in the information era is marked by an intensified spatial division of labor, which articulates with the pre-existing pattern of regional disparity. Information infrastructrue improvements for regional development do not necessarily result in reductions in regional unevenness. There is an urgent need to develop the integrated regional informatization strategy.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the changes in the recovery of equipment using full containers loaded with freight instead of direct container transportation according to the sales policy considering the cost of transporting the containers. The EMU operation case was analyzed. The policies implemented by Company A to provide EMU credits depended only on the relative accountability contribution margin per box (RA CMPB) for the profitability of backhaul full freight. Therefore, these policies resulted in limitations in sales based on profitable accountability (PA) CMPB, which is more profitable. Moreover, while some Asian regions have surplus equipment, many Asian destinations to which their freight is exported have equipment shortages. Thus, in some cases, service sales to the regions with surplus equipment generated greater company-wide profits when compared with the return of empty containers or sales to the regions with insufficient equipment. In other words, the conditions for providing EMU credits should be changed, and even the full freight between regions with surplus equipment should be provided with credit amounts in which potential factory and transport costs in a destination are pre-reflected.

Since 1995, Korean enterprises have been rapidly expanding their business, especially to Eastern European countries such as Poland, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Hungary and so on. After the establishment of Korea-EU FTA in 2011, close relationship between the two through economic cooperation has been maintained. To efficiently connect the seaport regions to inland factories located in Eastern European countries, researches on mode choice in the intermodal sector are needed to perform. However, there is a scant of research for mode choice factors on intermodal transportation service in Europe. Therefore, the aim of this research is to understand the current situation of intermodal transportation sector in Europe, identify key factors of mode choice, and weigh the importance among factors influencing intermodal selection in the perspective of Korean exporters or forwarders with overseas cargo to Europe. A survey and in-depth interviews to CEOs and executives who have more than 20 to 30 years of career in logistics sector were carried out from April 01 to May 01, 2013. Using the fuzzy theory as the methodology, 'Reliability of arrival time', 'Transit time', and 'Freight Rate' are equally ranked as the most important factor in the selection of intermodal transportation.

'물발자국(Water Footprint)' 개념은 가상수의 개념이 확장된 것으로 제품 생산과 서비스 전 과정에서 사용된 물의 양을 나타낸다. 따라서 한 국가내의 수자원 총량의 산출 시에 국제 무역을 통해 수출-수입되는 가상수의 양까지 고려하여 국가 물 총합(Water Budget)을 계산한다. 본 연구는 가상수의 수자원 활용에 관한 산업적 차원의 비교를 위하여 산업별 물발자국 산정모델을 구축하고자 하였다. 산업별 물발자국을 산정하기 위하여 첫째, 산업별 용수사용량에 기초하여 물발자국을 산정하였고, 둘째, 단위 물발자국에 기초하여 산업별 물발자국을 산정하였다. 먼저 산업별 용수사용량에 기초한 물발자국 산정은 하향식 접근법을 적용하였다. 국가 산업별 물발자국을 산정한 결과, 산업 전체 물발자국은 약 330억$m^3$이며 그 중 농업계가 연간 118.8억$m^3$으로 전체 물발자국의 36%를 차지하였다. 그 다음은 생활계로 전체의 34%인 111억 4천만$m^3$이다. 축산계의 물 사용량은 연간 2억 6천 7백만$m^3$ 정도이지만, 오염물질을 정화하는데 필요한 물인 회색수의 양이 많아 물발자국이 73억 $m^3$으로 비교적 높게 산정되었다. 공업계의 가상수량은 연간 26억$m^3$으로 타 산업에 비하여 오염부하량이 높지 않아 회색수량이 작게 나타났다. 다음으로 단위 물발자국에 기초하여 산업별 물발자국을 산정하였다. 단위 물발자국과 생산량을 활용하여 산정하는 상향식 접근법을 활용하였다. 1980년대부터 2014년까지 쌀 외 18개 품목에 대한 농산물 생산의 물발자국을 산정한 결과, 전체 물발자국은 평균 90억$m^3$으로 추정되었다. 한편, 2차 산업의 물발자국은 산업연관분석을 활용하여 산정하였다. 산업연관분석을 위하여 한국은행의 산업연관표와 경제총조사의 용수비 항목을 활용하였다. 2차 산업의 총 물발자국을 산정한 결과, 60억 $m^3$으로 추정되었다. 3차 산업의 물발자국도 이와 동일한 방식으로 산업연관표를 활용하여 산정하였다. 산업연관분석을 활용한 3차 산업의 물발자국 산정한 결과, 숙박 및 음식점업에서의 물발자국이 가장 큰 것으로 산정되었다. 이에 따라 Case Study로서 국내 워터파크 대상으로 물발자국을 산정하였다. 자료가 없는 부분을 제외하고 연간 총 840만 $m^3$의 물발자국을 가지는 것으로 나타났으며, 이 중 직접수는 70만 $m^3$, 간접수는 770만 $m^3$으로 간접수의 비율이 92%를 차지하였다.
