A voluminous research on efficiency employs the DEA(Data Envelope Analysis) models. There are, however, only very few that have an interest in the factors influencing such efficiencies. We, furthermore, do not see any studies which analyze the long-term efficiency of the logistics providers using the panel cointegration techniques. The purpose of this paper, hence, is to evaluate the efficiency, analyse its determinants and show a long-term relationship between turnover and the other variables employing the SBM(Slack Based Measure) model, Tobit model, the panel procedure and the FMOLS(Fully Modified OLS). The panel data are composed of 9 individuals and 6 years. The panel cointegrating vectors show that the group coefficient of asset and employees is not only significant but has expected signs, while some of the individual coefficients are insignificant or/and exhibit wrong signs. The panel cointegrating vectors from fully modified OLS also indicate that the estimated coefficients of the panel analysis tend to be overvalued and the asset influences the turnover far greater than the employee does.

The rise of K-Pop in the latecomer environment is unusual. There is little research on K-Pop from the catch-up perspective though it would yield some insight into a strategic direction of creative industries in the latecomer environment. Thus, this study aims to compare the firm capability, market development, and product strategy of K-Pop firms with ones of manufacturing firms during the catch-up period. It reveals first that K-Pop firms developed project execution capability to carry out discrete projects effectively by adopting in-house (vertical) system in music production and increasing the size of firms. Second, they pursued global market and utilized the window of opportunities based on a proven music genre. Third, K-Pop firms pursued the incremental innovation in the product development. Since these characteristics have many similarities with the catch-up strategy in the manufacturing sector, Korean catch-up experience could provide valuable insight into the development of creative industries in Korea.

This study is an attempt to identify factors determining the success of international standardization and understand the relationship between the factors, such as government-driven standardization activities. Six factors were identified through factor analysis; namely, 'Direct government support', 'Indirect government support', 'Utilization of standardization bodies', 'Standardization strategy', 'Attainment of a dominant market power', and 'Adoption as an international standard.' The results showed that firstly, support from the government, whether direct or indirect, had no direct effect on the outcome of international standardization efforts, but produced an indirect influence on it through mediating factors such as the attainment of a dominant market power. Secondly, the attainment of a dominant market power proved to be the most important success factor of international standardization, suggesting that the government must direct its efforts to help boost the market power of target standards through measures like promoting a timely market entry and the development of high-quality standards, in a manner to induce market satisfaction, increasing lock-in effects and building a quasi-vertical integration system. Thirdly, direct support from the government holds the key to the success of international standardization with de jure standardization bodies, while the strategic use of standardization bodies appears the most important for the positive outcome of standardization concerning de facto standardization bodies.

This study analyzed the technology innovation strategies of knowledge-based companies in the semiconductor IP industry. The theoretical approaches of this study are to i) the creation, protection and utilization of knowledge and innovation, ii) value creation from innovation, iii) modularity, timing of market entry, and the emergence and competition of standard (dominant design). Based on the theoretical analysis, I presented exploratory research hypotheses. Ultimately, this study examined the proposed hypotheses by conducting case studies on the technology innovation strategy of two leading knowledge-based companies in the semiconductor IP industry: ARM and INTEL. First, knowledge-based companies entering in the early stage of the technology cycle select the vertically-integrated technology strategy because of lower access to complementary knowledge assets, and maintain the vertically-integrated technology strategy despite the environmental change-driven differentiation of industry's value chain. Second, knowledge-based companies entering in the later stage of the technology cycle prefer the contract-based technology strategy because of its increased accessibility to complementary knowledge assets, and choose a different path of innovation strategies depending on whether their asset has the feature of discontinuity or not.

In this paper, a new demand-side evaluation for the technical potential of lighting dimming control and its applications in electricity markets have been presented. The California standard practice test has been widely used to estimate the economic value of demand-side resources. However, as the advent of deregulation and restructuring of power industry, the California test has been facing some limitations to adopt in the new market environments. In particular the conventional DC test is appropriate for the traditional vertically integrated utility, not for the restructured unbundled utility. Thus, this paper presents a new method to evaluate the economic value of demand-side resource, especially of controllable lighting dimming resource in terms of the energy service provider in market environments. We, therefore, first estimate the technical potential of the lighting dimming control and evaluate the value of the lighting dimming control based on the Korean electricity market data in 2006. The study result shows that the lighting dimming control is a cost effective option for the energy service provider.

Jeju soybean industry is not competitive in areas of food-safety, quality, price, and bargaining power. Also, the processing products of soybean are simply-processed product. They are short of diversified product. The size of processing company is very small. The purpose of this study is to review and suggest programs for the construction and management of a network among farmhouseholds, agricultural cooperatives, manufacturing companies, related research institutes, and the local government, which are integrated vertically, horizontally and systematically. Jeju soybean cluster consists of production system, research & development system, industrial-support system, practical technology-support system, and center of operation. This system will help farmers get stable sales market & income. Also, It will help farmers produce the production of environment-friendly agricultural raw products.

Recently, most corporations in Korea need to construct new management system for overcoming economic crisis. Firstly, this paper suggests “Value Creation system”. Secondly, this paper suggests CALS as strategic substitute to achieve market efficiency, capital efficiency, personal efficiency, and operation efficiency, which are four critical factors of “Value Creation system”. Korean corporations should build new business model founded on cooperation by completing CALS system and reconstruct competitive management system by using knowledge and know-how accumulated in that process. Because most corporations keep exclusive corporate culture and little experience of cooperative relationship among businesses, strategic approaches are essential for construction of CALS. These are vertical integration, organization of CALS construction teams, concurrent development of product/process, CEO's iron will, Precise vision and strategies, and education/training of participant.

The phase in digital technology expedited low-budget digital film productions in the Korean film industry; hence the international film festivals circuit became the launching pad for Korean directors as they built their reputation and careers around the critical acclaim. Pieta (Kim Ki-Duk)'s Claim on Golden Lion prize at the Venice Film Festival in 2012 would be one of the splendid achievements - the festival is considered to be one of the top the international film festival. However, the increased volume of the low-budget digital film productions are not necessarily proportional to the growth in the quality of the productions. The drawbacks to the production system appeared to be the underlying cause. In attempt to approach the issue, this article explores the production system from 2000 until now. It is illustrated that the value chain model has been transformed from general ones into vertical & horizontal integrated ones. A notable example of successful indie bands-around Hongik university area-, as well the analysis on the low-budget hit productions, especially from the mid-2000's, are introduced as the case studies. The strategies that led the success, such as subsidies policy, the tax benefits on investment firms and production companies, and the aid in international film festival submissions on low-budget digital film productions, are thus examined with further suggestions.

가뭄 피해 극복을 위한 인공 함양지 통합관리시스템의 일부로써 지표수-지하수 연계 특성 분석용 의사결정을 전달하는 인공지능 스마트 계측기의 필요성이 꾸준히 제기되어 왔으나 실용성과 효율성을 동시에 갖춘 계측기는 시장에 출시되지 않았다. 기존의 계측기는 단순 측정이 목적이었으며 분석을 위해서는 일정 기간 직접 계측하여 분석하거나, 계측데이터를 원격 망을 통하여 서버로 전송하고 관리자가 데이터를 해석하는 방식을 취하였다. 또한, 수질 계측과 수질의 미소 변동성을 동시에 계측하여 수질 변화상태를 판단 할 수 있는 수질 계측기는 상품화되지 않아 다목적 수질 분석에 한계점을 갖고 있다. 이러한 한계점이 기존의 지하수 수질 계측기로는 불가능한 수중 라돈을 채수 없이 계측 가능하도록 하고, 순간 수질 변화 및 수질 변화 요인분석이 가능한 계측을 위하여 라돈, 전도도, 수위, 수온 및 필름형 pH 센서를 개발하여 적용한 다항목 계측기로 통합하는 연구가 필요한 이유이다. 개발한 계측기는 빅데이터 기반의 지능형 수질 변동성 분석 알고리즘을 내장하고 수직 깊이 방향의 다중심도 계측이 가능하도록 핵심적인 통신 연결성을 확보하였고 다양한 수질에서 견딜 수 있으며 특히 인공함양에서 발생하는 철, 망간에 부식되지 않는 재질을 이용하여 설계한 '지표수-지하수 연계 특성 분석용 다심도 및 인공지능 스마트 계측장치'이다. 본 장치는 기존 지하수 수질 계측기에서는 불가능하였던 순간 수위변화 및 수위변화 요인분석이 가능한 계측을 위하여 초당 측정 샘플링 주파수(10Hz)를 높인 계측회로를 개발하여 적용하였다.
