An expansion into the global market increasingly becomes a buzz world among Construction Management(CM) firms in Korea. The objective of this study is to identify potential obstacles and investigate their nature and implications to CM firms in Korea. The study identified 25 obstacles under 5 categories. Base on a questionnaire survey and interviews with CM experts who have global CM projects experience, the study discusses that while there exist various types of obstacles, a more attention needs to be paid for a small number of major obstacles to minimine risks in overseas CM projects. It also suggests that improving pre-construction management competency through securing CM experts should be listed as a top agenda for Korean CM firms.

This study aims to explore the difficulties of Korean dance instructors targeting senior people and extends the difficulties found to developing PBL problems applicable to the instructors' education. To address the goal, this author employed an open-ended questionnaire consisting of four questions and 1:1 interview and collected data. According to the study results, total nine subfactors were drawn from four difficulties associated with student management, the curriculum, performances, and class environment. First, about difficulties related to student management, 'conflicts between students' and 'demand for personalized class' were explored. Second, regarding difficulties about the curriculum, 'refusal against new teaching methods' and 'level difference according to the ability of acquisition' were explored. Third, concerning difficulties related to having performances, 'lack of time for practicing', 'needs to achieve excellent performances', and 'the administration of organizations in charge' were explored. Fourth, about difficulties associated with class environment, 'environment in general' and 'spatial environment' were explored. Also, based on the difficulties explored from dance instructors for senior people, this researcher has developed four PBL problems through community dance for harmony, joint choreography-based creative dance, playful dance allowing role division, and mirroring-based dance.

This study has been conducted at a time when Korean government continues to extend support for youth startups as part of its policy to create jobs and the focus moves from career and employment to youth startups with a growing interest in the field of youth startups. Against this background, this study aims to identify difficulty factors of youth startups in areas besides the Seoul Metropolitan Area, seek ways to overcome difficulty factors, and propose policy implications. To this end, this study set five criteria and 25 sub-criteria to evaluate the difficulties of youth startups by reviewing previous studies and conducting literature review, and performing brainstorming method. The empirical analysis of the evaluation criteria was performed, using the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) method, on youths aged 19 to 39 in Gunsan area. The analysis results showed that the largest difficulty factors facing local youths include business model establishment, business administration and management, and startup funding in the criteria. As for sub-criteria, the largest difficulty factors are market information acquisition, technology commercialization, project feasibility, technology development, and new market pioneering in descending order. Local youths have much difficulty about the process of turning a business item into a product and commercializing it. According to a comparative analysis by gender, men were a relatively high difficulty in commercializing business models than women. men were a relatively high difficulty in commercializing business models than women. On the other hand, women were higher than men in all factors (management management, entrepreneurship, improvement of entrepreneurship system, and improvement of entrepreneurship awareness) except for factors affecting business model. In addition, the factors of entrepreneurship were found to be relatively different among young people (college students, prospective entrepreneurs, entrepreneurs). In conclusion, it was suggested that in order to revitalize youth entrepreneurship in the region, it is necessary to actively resolve the difficulties of business model commercialization rather than entrepreneurship funds. In addition, it is necessary to strategically support customized entrepreneurship support and situational administrative services because gender and hierarchical difficulties are different than general solutions. This study presented practical priorities and derivation methods for the entrepreneurship difficulties faced by local youth, and suggested measures and improvements for vitalizing local youth entrepreneurship in the future.

This study aims to investigate the overall relationship between the deterring and facilitating factors in export activities of the small and medium export companies. Nine export deterring factors are analyzed by multinational dimensional scaling(MDS) method to identify key dimensions underlying those factors. Perceptual mapping shows that some factors such as brand image, operating capital and e-trade infra are found similar in its degree of difficulties in export activities. Regression analysis shows that government export promotion measures might play an effective export facilitating factors to ease the export deterring factors like market information and manufacturing skill. Whereas difficulties arising from e-trade infra, operating capital, and brand image might be eliminated by internal competency of company, difficulties from distribution channel might be lessened by overseas orientation of chief executive of company.

본 연구는 920개 정보통신중소기업을 조사대상으로 하여 일반경영현황, 기술개발 실태, 정부의 기술개발지원사업에 대해 실태조사한 결과중에서 정보통신중소기업이 처한 현황 및 애로요인을 위주로 하여 정리한 것이다. 먼저 실태조사방안 및 회수율에 대해 간략히 설명하였으며, 정보통신산업 전반적인 차원에서의 중소기업 현황과 조사대상 중소기업의 일반현황에 대해 분석한 결과를 정리하였고, 정보통신중소기업이 당면하고 있는 일반경영관리 및 기술관리 측면에서의 애로요인을 위주로 설명하였다. 실태조사 분석결과에 의하면 정보통신중소기업은 업체 수에 비해 생산 및 수출에서 차지하는 비중은 아직까지는 매우 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 인터넷의 발전에 따라 향후 국가경제에서 중요한 위치를 차지하게 될 소프트웨어산업의 종업원 수에 있어서는 중소기업이 차지하는 비율이 월등하게 높게 나타나는 등 신규고용 창출에 있어서 정보통신중소기업의 역할은 보다 높아질 것으로 예상되고 있다.

In this paper, we tried to find the bottleneck factors of firms' innovative activities using the KIS (Korea Innovation Survey) 2002 data. Employing the method of factor analysis, we identified five bottleneck factors of innovative activities: organizational bottleneck factor, innovative bottleneck factor, economic bottleneck factor, supply-chain bottleneck factor, and market-environment bottleneck factor. Using regression analysis which includes the five bottleneck factors, industry characteristics variables (market concentration, technological opportunity, appropriability), and other control variables, we found (1) that all the five bottleneck factors are negatively related with innovative activities, (2) that technological opportunity and appropriability conditions are positively related with innovative activities, (3) that there is an inverted-U relationship between market concentration and innovative activities, and (4) that firm size has no significant influence on firms' innovative activities.

국내 여성벤처기업의 수는 지속적으로 증가하고 있으며, 우리 경제와 벤처업계에서 여성벤처기업의 역할과 중요성도 증대되고 있다. 그러나 여성벤처기업의 경영애로요인과 경영성과 간의 관계가 기업의 유형에 따라 어떻게 달라지는지에 대한 체계적인 연구는 수행되지 않고 있는 실정이다. 이에 따라 여선벤처기업에 대한 지원도 이러한 기업 유형을 고려하지 않은 채 이루어지는 경우가 많아 지원의 효율성에 문제점을 내포하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 여성벤처기업에 대한 효율적인 지원에 필요한 기초자료를 제시하기 위하여, 여성벤처기업의 경영애로요인과 경영성과 간의 관계가 기업의 유형 및 지원형태에 따라 어떻게 달라지는지를 실증적으로 분석할 연구모형을 제시하였다.
