The domestic railway parts and equipment manufacturing industry is mainly focused on SMEs, and the majority of them are suffering from profitability because they cannot build economies of scale. Besides, they have survived in the form of importing technology products from overseas advanced countries and delivering them to domestic railway operators rather than having in-house technology. Therefore it is necessary to study whether the problems of the current railway industry can be identified and improved and at the same time, whether the government's railway industry development policy is properly reflected. literature studies related to technology commercialization, and conduct surveys of AHP questionnaires on the experts of the manufacturing industry of SMEs, academics / research institutes of the railway industry. After that, the Level 3 activation method AHP analysis was additionally performed on the important factors of Level 2 that have the highest importance and priority in Level 1. As a result of the AHP analysis, 'Technical Connectivity' was the most important method in the technical factor, and SME experts and academic and research institute experts were highly evaluated for 'commercialization ability' Competence in terms of importance. As for external support factors, it was analyzed that SME experts "support for manpower development" was important, while the other two group experts research and development support was important. In this study, the priority of the government support and policy priorities are suggested according to the capabilities of the railway manufacturing SMEs before the future R&D support.

한 나라의 경제는 자유경쟁원리에 입각한 시장 경제가 주도할 때 발전되어 가지만 자유경쟁체제는 때로 독점기업을 탄생시키고 이들 독점기업의 횡포 때문에 오히려 국민들에게 불편을 초래하는 시장의 실패가 발생한다. 한편, 철도와 같은 사회간접자본은 대자본이 소요되고 조직ㆍ규모가 방대하기에 시장에 맡기기보다는 정부가 이를 직접 운영하는 사례가 많다. 우리나라가 물론 이에 속한다. (중략)

Domestic urban railway are operated by urban railway operating public enterprises, which are owned by the 6 major metropolitan local governments and private operating companies, which are established under the Private Investment Act. Among urban railway operating companies, several public enterprises that operate urban railways with many experience, performance, human resources, and public nature are making efforts to promote overseas business. Therefore, this study examines the outlook for railway and urban railway overseas business, and provides implications for the overseas business approach of domestic urban railway operating public enterprises through data research and comparative analysis on the overseas business approaches and overseas business characteristics of domestic and foreign urban railway operating public enterprises. The results were derived and suggestions for the direction of overseas business were presented. I expect that suggestions will serve as a reference for domestic urban railway operators to promote overseas projects with preparation, implementation plan and direction.

This paper empirically analyzed the effect that the leadership of middle managers had on empowerment and innovative behavior, as measured by employees of a domestic railway corporation. The results demonstrate that transactional leadership had a positive effect on both empowerment and innovative behavior. However, transformational leadership did not exhibit immediate effects on innovative behavior. In addition, it was also found that empowerment completely mediated the relationship between transformational leadership and innovative behavior. Therefore, the results of this study imply that the leadership of middle managers in a railway corporation is an important influential factor which causes innovative behavior in employees. Specifically, to induce voluntary innovative behaviors in employees through transformational leadership, utilizing empowerment to instill a right to make decisions through the delegation of the right is a very important factor.

철도소화물 부문의 택배시스템 도입은 원가절감이 가능하고, 경쟁력을 갖출 수 있는 장점을 갖추고 있으므로, 현실적으로 매우 필요하다. 택배시스템 도입은 철도청에서 제3자에게 위탁 운영케 하든지, 직접 운영하든지, 별도법인을 만들 수도 있다. 그러나 본고에서는 이러한 내용은 별도의 연구가 있어야할 것으로 보이므로 생략한다. 본고에서는 환경ㆍ제도적인 측면과 운영ㆍ시스템 측면에서 택배시스템을 도입하기 위한 대책방안 만을 강구한다. 본고는 철도소화물시장이 독점적으로 정부의 관할 하에 있기 때문에 철도소화물에 대한 연구가 국내에서 여러 전문가에 의하여 다양하게 전개되지 못하였다는 점이 취약점이다. 따라서 본고도 이러한 환경에서 폭넓은 연구사례를 제기하지 못한다는 한계가 있다. 그러나 설문조사나 인터뷰, 실증자료와 관련 기업과 단체의 내부자료를 통하여 이 문제를 극복하고자 노력하였다.

Regarding the small- and medium-sized enterprises in Korea that manufacture the railway vehicle parts, there are over 250 related companies. And they have been surviving in the form of producing and delivering the parts of the railway vehicles by importing the technologies and the products of the foreign countries rather than possessing their own technological abilities. Due to this, regarding the industry of the core components of the railroads, the dependence on the overseas has been high. As such, although, for supporting the small- and medium-sized enterprises that manufacture the railway vehicle parts, the government has been strengthening the diverse policy supports, it is a fact that the effectiveness of the support is not high. And, in order to effectively support these, there is a need to understand clearly and definitely what the important promotion factors are in the process of the technology commercialization. Accordingly, through the precedent researches regarding the factors that promote the technology commercializations of the small- and medium-sized enterprises that manufacture the railway vehicle parts, this research had extracted 10 main items. And the level of the importance of these indices was analyzed by using the AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process). As a result of the AHP analysis, the factors within a corporation appeared to be the most important factor. And, as for the lower-ranking item, the commercialization capability was analyzed to be the most important item. It is highly expected that the contents and the results of this research will be usefully used when formulating the planning of the support program and the support policy for the technology commercializations by the public research organizations and the railroad management organization, which is an organization that supports the small- and medium-sized enterprises that manufacture the railway vehicle parts.

Due to various reasons (normally financial constraints in developing countries), it becomes common to change of the business model from state-run projects to Private Investment Projects (Public Private Partnership) in the global railway businesses. However, due to the nature of railroads compared with other types of infrastructure such as roads and others, railway business require considerable construction cost and O&M cost through the business development, construction, and operation and management stages. Therefore, private investment railway projects, especially in developing countries, can be problematic in terms of the potential for uncertainty when return on investment cannot be guaranteed. In order to strengthen the competitiveness of domestic companies when entering overseas railroad PPP projects, this study proposes PPP-related risks and their countermeasures by reviewing global railroad trends and identifying Korea's weakness in managing international railroad projects.
