This paper aims to analysis the production linkage relationships between large firm and its subcontracting firms, especially focus on the spatial network and collaboration network. For the purpose of it, the division of semiconductor in Samsung Electronics and its most important subcontracting firms are picked up for the case study. The empirical study show that the location distribution pattern of Samsung Electronic's subcontracting firms is concentrated very highly on the Kyeong-Ki Province and Chung-Nam Province in Korea, which is the location sites of Samsung Electronic's key plants as well as the best environment for business in Korea. And the major subcontracting firms seems to be in the hierarchic and vertical relationship with Samsung Electronics rather than horizontal and good collaboration network in this case.

This article analyzes the lock-in factors and their advancement direction of Korean energy innovation system(EIS), using case-study methodology. As the lock-in factors, which have been structural and complicated ones in the developing process of Korean EIS, are postulated government policies, market, industrial network, and demand condition. The lock-in phenomena result from connecting and conflicting incompletely among government policies, competing and controlling oligopolistically in market, constructing insufficiently in intra-industrial value-chain, and lowering in demand efficiency. To cope with these lock-in structure, connection among government policies, activation in market competition, coordination of industrial structure for added values, and uprading in energy efficiency are needed.

일본의 상하수도 사업은 국토교통성(하수도)과 후생노동성(상수도)으로 크게 양분되어 있으며, 환경성이 수질을 담당하는 체제로 이루어져 있다. 이는 수량과 수질을 분리하고 있는 우리나라와도 크게 다를 바가 없다. 그러나 중앙에서의 다원적인 분리와는 또 다른 차원으로 지방자치단체에서는 상하수도 통합이 급속도로 진행되고 있다. 이는 기후변화라는 지구적 환경의 변화와 더불어 해외 물산업에 대한 경쟁력이 밑바탕이 되면서 가속화되고 있다. 즉, 아시아의 신흥국을 중심으로 급격한 경제발전에 따른 인구가 증가하면서 정수장 및 하수처리장의 건설과 더불어 누수 및 도수(盜水) 문제가 현재화하면서 이에 대한 운영관리기술의 도입이 시급해졌기 때문이다. 이러한 과제를 해결할 수 있는 충분한 기술과 경험을 보유하고 있는 일본의 지방자치단체가 해외 물산업을 전제로 지자체 내의 상하수도 통합을 추진하고 있다. 본 연구는 이처럼 이원적으로 이루어지고 있는 일본 상하수도 업무의 법제도적 차이를 살펴보고, 특히 지자체를 중심으로 전개되고 있는 상하수도 통합과정의 동향과 의의를 풍중시((豊中市)토요나까시)의 사례를 중심으로 살펴보았다. 풍중시(豊中市)는 2008년 상하수도 통합을 천명하면서 기존의 운영방침에서 크게 탈각하는 정책을 취하게 되었고, 이 정책을 통하여 시의 지속가능한 발전 및 위기관리체제를 일신하고, 나아가 기후변화에의 대응력 강화에까지 그 범위를 확장하고 있다. 지자체의 상하수도 통합논의가 가속화되는 반면, 일본 중앙 정부에서는 아직 이렇다 할 움직임을 보이지는 않고 있다. 이는 부처간의 이견차이가 큰 부분인 만큼 쉽사리 제도적인 변경으로 움직이기는 어려울 것이다. 그러나 밑으로부터의 이러한 거대한 개혁움직임과 그 동인의 정당성을 확보해가고 있는 과정을 감안한다면 정부차원의 상하수도 통합이 완전히 부정되기도 어렵다. 상하수도 통합논의와 관련한 일본의 사례는 향후 우리나라 상하수도 정책을 재검토할 수 있는 계기가 될 것이다.

The purpose of this article is to analyze the tendency and characteristics in armed conflict in post-Cold War era on the basis of Uppsala conflict data program(UCDP) datasets. The collapse of bipolarity and the end of cold War proved a watershed in the dynamics of international conflict. The major shift in the nature of conflict has been away from interstate conflict, leaving intrastate conflict. Major powers have acted carefully against each other and been willing to understand the interests of other to avoid military confrontation and crash. As the means of termination for armed conflict, there is a stronger emphasis on the peace settlement like peace agreement and ceasefire agreement than military victory. Many intrastate conflicts become internationalized, through the involvement of diaspora communities, or regionalized through a spillover effect into neighboring countries. Since the end of the Cold War, the UN has taken a much more active role in conflict management and conflict resolution.

Recently, in the space market, there has been a rapid reduction of the launch price. The major reason is that a few commercial companies, especially SpaceX, began to enter into the space market about ten years ago, which has changed the space market from monopolization to competition, and accelerated the adoption of commercial efficiency in the technology and management. Also, the successful landing and recovery of a first stage in 2016 by SpaceX proved to be a prelude to opening a new era of reusable launch vehicles, and SpaceX declared the groundbreaking launch price through using the reusable launch vehicle. This study calculates the total launch cost required to put a certain satellite into the LEO, compares the launch cost in three cases with different payload weights, and reviews the impacts of the payload on the cost effectiveness of a reusable vehicle. The total launch cost is divided into 6 subsections cost, namely development cost, production cost, refurbishment cost, operation cost, fixed-cost of factory and launch site, and insurance cost. The cost estimation relationships used in the calculation are taken from the commonly proven cost models such as TRANSCOST.

This study, for the reinvigoration domestic LCCs (Low Cost Carriers) in Asian air market which is in developing stage now, aims to analyze the management risk through the operation cases of domestic and foreign areas and then to derive a risk management plan to reinforce the competency of domestic LCCs. As for the major potential risk factors for LCCs in Asia-pacific market, the first is the absence of growth strategy. Then, the second is the problems in airline route, the typical problem of subsidiary companies of major air lines. The third is the lack of specialists and professional manpowers. In order to cope with such risk factors, rapid growth should be controlled and competition with parent company by entering to parent company's airline route should also be avoided. At the same time, there should be a comprehensive supporting system to foster specialists and professionals in this industry.

The Korean pharmaceutical industry has many pharmaceutical companies and business acquaintances, small quantity batch production and a lot of competition products having same ingredient. Under such a situation, an integrated distribution is said to be proper to lower distribution costs and deliver effectively: However, each business has different delivery conditions, timely delivery of small quantity batch order and other particular services, etc to have problems of competition of turnover increase. The study suggests measures below to lower distribution costs and to elevate sales business efficiency. First, Joint marketing of pharmaceuticals between pharmaceutical companies. Second, Joint delivery of three or less companies having similar business scales. Third, An agreement with wholesale distributors of unified distribution of pharmaceuticals being sold much. Fourthly, Wholesale distributors' pharmaceuticals distribution services. Fifthly, Cooperation of business acquaintance. In summary, the Korean pharmaceutical industry needs an integrated distribution system. Considering characteristics of the industry, however, the small pharmaceutical companies are thought to be difficult to accept the integrated distribution because complete integrated distribution may reduce sales.
