In the performance of this research we aimed at surveying·studying the trouble factors, problems and improvement plans to extend agricultural products and agro-food and providing basic data for the globalization of Korean agricultural products and agricultural foods in future. All the respondents highly recognized, in general, the problems in exporting agricultural products and agro-food, and it was surveyed that the biggest reason lay in the insufficiency of the scout for new buyers and the lack in opening overseas market and marketing specialists. As for the problems of the supporting system of the export of agricultural products, it was pointed out that the level of recognition was fairly high, but the procedures were difficult, and they indicated the problems of non-benefits in spite of the recognition of the selection. For the purpose, it could be known that it required the publicity and education as to export supporting system, and also required the extension of export supporting system and the improvement of the system. Finally, in relation with the export promotion plan, the factors blocking the export promotion of agricultural products marked the highest in the weak management size and production foundation and the lack in export mind and special workforce. Therefore, considering that most of exporters of agricultural products are small/medium sized businesses, we foresaw that we lack in the opening of overseas market and the capacity of marketing activities, and analyzed that it was necessary to open an overseas market in the dimension of the government and cooperate with the marketing to solve the problems.

2008 began with the American financial crisis which gave way to the liquidity crisis (Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac) situation in which 'the withdrawal of investment initiated from the insufficiency of the U.S. subprime mortgage loan companies', 'the large size loss situation of the financial company (Bear Stearns) due to the American structured bond insufficiency' and the second half opening part national debt mortgage company. Within the American financial crisis was propagated the crisis of international derivatives. Due to this, the withdrawal of foreign investment progressed in the interior of a country with the considerable. By the end of 2007, the exchange rate fluctuation was absorbed in the domestic financial circle on the belief the potentiality of the domestic financial market had been growing drastically through the expansion of the foreign currency debt according to this and it came to the defence but while the exchange rate jumped up to the dollar shortage according to the international crisis, the small and medium companies making the banks and exchange rate-related derivatives contract were going bankrupt due to the derivatives loss. The small and medium factories establish the bank exchange rate-related derivatives has nose (KIKO), pivot (PIVOT), and snowball (Snowball) etc. at that time and the damage which it is the KIKO grasped at 6 end of the months in 2008 caused by reaches to 1 thousand billion 4 thousand hundred million dollars. Small and medium companies in which the dollar which it has to denounce among small and medium companies bearing the KIKO contract in fact with the Knock-In generation city bank exceeds the amount of sales were known to be 68 enterprises among 480 enterprises. This paper departs in this awareness of a problem and tries to look into the risk factor of the derivatives, including nose and study the essential ring risk management plan of small and medium manufacturer.

어떤 산업이든 기계공업이 관여되지 않는 분야가 없듯이 공작기게가 관여되지 않는 기계공업은 생각할 수 없다. 이와같이 공작기계는 <기계를 만드는 기계> 라는 점에서 모든 산업분야의 근간을 형성하고 있으므로 공작기계의 품질과 성능은 곧 한나라의 기술수준을 가늠하는 척도로서 대표된다고 하여도 과언은 아 니다. 오늘날 선진국들은 수요자가 요구하는 다양한 초정밀공작기계까지도 만들고 있다. 크게는 우주개발에 서 항공기, 선박 및 자동차생산을 위시하여 건설장비, 전자 및 광학, 정밀화학, 각종 시험기기 등 공작기계의 손이 미치지 않은 곳이 없다. 이렇게 공작기계는 전산업에 걸쳐 크게 영향을 주고 있으며, 특히 최근의 산업 화 추세가 점차 자동화, 무인화, 초정밀첨단산업으로 비약함에 따라 공작기계의 역할은 더욱더 중요시되고 있 다. 우리나라 공작기계공업은 1960 년대의 이전 극히 영세한 중소기업중심의 보수공작기계부품 생산형태에서 1960 년대 후반부터 일부 범용기종의 생산이 시작되었으나 보다 본격화한 것은 1973 년 정부의 중화학공업육성 시책에 따라 대기업의 대거 참여로 공작기계제조업은 시설, 자산, 경영면에서 대형화 하였고, 동시에 선진국의 최신기술과 시설을 적기에 도입하므로써 품질향상, 신제품개발, 수출참여 등 공작기계공업 발전에 일대 전기를 마련하였다. 특히 '85 년에 들어서면서부터 3 저의 여파로 국내 자동차산업의 호황, 전자, 기계 및 관련수요 산업의 설비투자와 시설개체에 힘입어 공작기계생산도 활발하기 시작하여 그 어느때보다 생산기반혁신을 위한 구조적 대응책이 절실해지고 있다. 따라서 공작기계공업의 당면과제는 지속적인 기술개발과 품질향상으로 국산 화율을 제고시켜야 함은 물론, 이를 양산화하여 명실공히 선도산업으로서의 위치를 굳히고, 적어도 기계류의 수입국에서 기계류의 수출국으로 기치를 든 탈바꿈을 할때 비로소 불균형이 없는 흑자시대는 도래할 것이다.

The object of this paper is to increase in domestic use of export factoring for small and medium trading companies. Factoring involves a process where a specialized firm assumes the responsibility for the administration and collection of account receivable for its clients. It can be considered a form of short term commercial financing based on selling of trade credit at a discount, or for a prescribed fee plus interest. The youngest and smallest businesses cannot receive working capital for account receivable for export from financial companies, while larger businesses tend to have less need for factoring services. Using export factoring provide a valuable improvement to cash flow and working capital position and can possibly contribute to small business growth and development. There are several suggestions for export factoring to activate in Korea. First, the number of factoring companies need to be enlarge to activate export factoring in trade and financial policies. Second, factoring companies have to perform public relations for trading companies to inform the export factoring system and its advantages. Third, government need to support the system of export factoring with legislation and financial instruments. Forth, trading companies need to be reformed credit inquiry system in terms of expenses and methods by government This paper has attempted to emphasize on export factoring for small and medium size exporting companies and deserves more research by academics, practitioners and trade policy makers.

This study attempt to use secondary data from KIS-Value to understand how rapid globalization strategy affects BGF's performance defined five categories such as sales volume, return on investment, net profit per employee, increase in sales, and increase in net profit per employee. In particular, this research defines the BGF based on the export ratio within five years after the establishment and classifies BGF into three levels according to 25%, 50%, and 75% concentration of exports. The main results of this study were first, the rapid internationalization strategy was proven to have a sales effect in the short and long term, and in particular, the short term effect was more significantly compared to the long term effect. However, the impact on the return on investment(ROI) of BGF was found that the more stringent the BGF level, the more short-term effect on ROI, but the longer-term effect was diluted according to time. Third, the sales growth rate is significant in the short-term depending on the BGF level, but do not have long-term effects same as ROI. On the other hand, the growth rate of net profit has shown that the BGF strategy has a negative (-) effect over the long term. In particular, the higher the BGF level, the greater the negative impact on the increase in net profit.

In this study, the LINC project is finished and a new LINC+ has begun. For the settlement of mutual cooperation in universities and corporations, the main agenda of LINC+ project, this research attempts to find factors that are important to industries rather than the measurement of performance closely related to universities. From the companies' perspective, it is not easy to measure how much they are benefiting from mutual cooperation, although there are quantitative performance determinants such as sales, employment and export growth. Therefore, while estimating the satisfaction of industrial-educational cooperation and simultaneously estimating the satisfaction's effect to the development of companies, we try to estimate the contribution of satisfaction towards company development through subjective indicators. Through these efforts, we will raise the credibility of government policies through the cultivation of talented individuals who are customized to the industry through the cultivation of "Industry-Leading Universities" that we intend to pursue through the implementation of LINC+ business, and small and medium enterprises. Innovative support and the cooperation of industry-universities will increase job creation and ensure consistent industry. We will contribute to the mutual development of universities and industries.
