The purpose of this research is to improve the investment success rate for startups in the water industry for the development of the entrepreneurial environment of the Korean water industry. In this research, we identified investment determinants through prior research and stratified them, and then surveyed the investor group at the beginning of the start-up using the FGI method, and determined the order of the investment determinants of investors. At the same time, we classified 41 start-ups related to the water industry into two groups: the group that received investment and the group that did not in the early stages of the start-up. Then we investigated the understanding of the investor's investment determinants, ranked them, and compared them by using the AHP technique. Through this, this research proposes five implications. First, it is important for start-ups in the early stages to receive seed investment to revitalize investment for startups in the water industry. For this, startups need to understand investors and prepare to attract investment with the perspective of angel investors rather than the perspective of VC investors. Second, Start-ups in the water sector should consider that the characteristics of the founder are important in order to receive seed investment, and also need to define their business at the industry and market level, and provide relevant rationale to meet the expectations of investors who value industry expertise and experience, and to increase the possibility of seed investment, which is important in the early stages of a startup. Third, institutions, such as K-water(Korea Water Resources Corporation), that support water industry startups need to conduct open innovation business opportunities discovery programs linked to startups so that startups currently participating in the startup support program could have business opportunities from the business infrastructure of platform-forming companies in the water industry. In particular, such institutions should help founders develop their industrial expertise and careers by supporting this type of start-up preparation process through the participation of in-house venture founders. Fourth, when K-water uses the government start-up support fund to discover and foster founders, it should increase initial contact with seed investors, conduct more thorough verification of business plans, and develop programs that use government start-up support funds to prepare a business suitable for seed angel investors. Fifth, K-water should support seed by connecting funds for initial investment among funds operated by itself. It is also necessary to develop a program that links the company receiving the seed investment with VC investment, not angel investment in cooperation with the VC fund operation entity participating as an LP so that companies that have attracted seed investment could attract follow-up VC investment.

PMN-PZT 단층 및 다층 후막을 알루미나 기판위에 켄티레버 형태로 제작하여, 외부의 미소 진동에 의한 마이크로 발전 특성을 고찰하였다. 미소 변위에 의한 마이크로 발전 특성은 켄티레버의 무게(load), 진동수, 켄티레버의 길이 등에 밀접한 영향을 미치므로 이에 준한 요소를 고려하여 여러 가지 변수로 실험하였다. 연구 결과 서로 다른 소재의 기판과 발전체의 계면 분리 현상, 전극과 발전체의 분리 현상, 소결 온도 등이 소재 측면의 문제점으로 크게 대두되었으며, $5{\times}20mm$ 기판위에 형성된 발전체의 특성은 $1.1k{\Omega}{\sim}1M{\Omega}$의 부하에 따른 전압변동이 0.01V에서 3.6V로 큰 차이가 났다. 켄티레버의 로드의 변화에 대한 피크 전압은 $1.9{\sim}{\pm}2.8V$로 조사되었으며, 출력은 $0.45{\sim}4{\mu}W$로 측정되었다. 그러나 이런 외부 조건 보다 압전체의 공진 특성과 진동수는 가장 중요한 요인으로 나타났으며, 몇몇 문제가 해결될 경우 마이크로 발전소자로의 활용 가능성이 있는 것으로 조사되었다.

Present-day world economy is characterized by : technology nationalism, economic regionalism, market protectionism, multinational corporations, efc. All nations are striving for intensifying national economic rivalry and seeking after their own interests above everything else. Many regions of the world are also forming trading blocs, which could negatively affect nonmember states. The ultimate way to meet these difficulties is to establish production facilities in the countries imposing trade regulations. However, as the existing models of direct forrign investment (DFI) do not account for the particular nature of Korean firm's DFI activities, a new point of departure is imperative. It is because of this that Korean firms have only limited firm-specific advantages, the basic precondition of extant DFI theories, compared with their developed counterparts.

Composites of $Fe_{93.5}Si_{6.5}$ powder and epoxy were prepared using a thermal curing process. Scanning electron microscope (SEM), vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) and network analyzer were used to analyze the structure, electromagnetic properties and microwave absorption of the composites. Results show that the saturation magnetization depends on the fraction of the $Fe_{93.5}Si_{6.5}$ powder in the composite, which affects initial permeability. It is believed that the eddy current loss is a dominant factor over 1 GHz and that the resonance frequency of the composite decreases with increasing fractions of $Fe_{93.5}Si_{6.5}$ powder. Finally, reflection loss was calculated from the permeability and permittivity of these composites. Composite with 50 wt.% $Fe_{93.5}Si_{6.5}$ powder fractions and 5 mm thickness showed reflection loss below -20 dB from 3.66 GHz to 4.16 GHz. Therefore, it is believed that thin Fe-Si/epoxy composites may be a good candidate for microwave absorption application.

Intelligent transport services on smart roads tend to have a problem at the stage of benefit-cost analysis that can not secure economic feasibility of the new services which increase early investment cost on building its infrastructure. It is expected that the number of road accidents, 'Incident/Accident', will decline through various safety services using intelligent safety facilities, intelligent transport management and so on, and that traffic congestion will also decrease. The effect of traffic congestion reduction could be the benefit by safety improvement, however current investment-analysis process in Korea does not appropriate it as a benefit. This study estimated road blocking time with 'Incident/Accident' classification and highway accident data of past three years. It also developed a generalized model by a regression analysis with a microscopical simulation. Furthermore, it suggested necessary units on quantitative analysis in order to make the developed model applicable to investment evaluation. As a result of applying the developed model to Smart-Highway Project, it showed that total safety improvement benefit is about 139 billion dollars over 30 years when it is supposed that accident decreasing rate by smart safety facilities is 10%.

석탄, 석유 값의 지속적인 상승과 기후변화협약 발효 등 환경규제의 강화로 신 · 재생에너지에 대한 관심과 인기가 연일 올라가고 있다. 국내에서도 관련 업계의 신 · 재생에너지 사업에 대한 참여도가 매년 급증하고 있는 상황이다. 지난 2002년 신 · 재생에너지분야에서 생산한 총 발전량이 156.731MW에서 지난해에는 389.954MW로 2.4배나 늘었다. 이러한 급증세는 정부의 신 · 재생에너지 확대 정책에 따른 것이기도 하다. 정부는 여러 가지 지원제도를 통해 신 · 재생에너지의 활성화를 위해 노력하고 있다. 그 중 가장 효과가 큰 제도가 바로 2002년부터 시행 중인 '발전차액 지원 제도'이다. 사실 신 · 재생에너지는 초기 투자비가 높고 원가가 원자력 및 화석연료에 비해 2~10배가량 높다. 이러한 상황에서 발전차액을 지원해 주는 제도는 가히 매력적이라고 볼 수 있다. 그런데 최근 정부에서 이러한 '발전차액 지원제도'를 개선하겠다고 발표하면서 신 · 재생에너지 관련 시장을 후근 달아오르게 하고 있다. 그 이유는 바로 정부가 발전차액 지원 금액을 줄이겠다고 발표했기 때문. 따라서 관련업계에서는 당연히 반발할 수 밖에 없다. 그러나 정부 측 주장대로 그동안 기술적인 발전과 발전량의 증가 등으로 인해 이 시점에서 한 번 제도를 개선할 필요성도 있다. 최근 '뜨거운 감자'로 부상한 '발전차액 지원제도 개선안'의 내용과 논란 내용을 소개한다.

TiO$_2$의 첨가가 Mn-Zn ferrites의 전자기적 물성에 미치는 효과에 대해 연구하였다. TiO$_2$의 첨가량이 증가함에 따라 밀도와 전기비저항이 증가된 반면 초기투자율은 감소하였다. TiO$_2$의 첨가에 따라 Fe$^{2+}$ ion의 증가에 기인하여 전력손실의 최소 값을 나타내는 온도가 저온으로 이동하였다. TiO$_2$를 0.12wt% 첨가한 시편의 경우, 100 kHz, 200 mT, 8$0^{\circ}C$ 측정 조건에서는 소결온도가 증가함에 따라 전력손실이 감소하였으며 125$0^{\circ}C$ 소결한 시편이 340 mW/㎤으로 가장 낮은 값을 보였다. 500 kHz, 50 mT, 8$0^{\circ}C$의 측정 조건에서는 소결 온도가 감소함에 따라 전력손실이 감소하였으며 115$0^{\circ}C$ 소결한 시편이 105 mW/㎤으로 가장 낮은 전력손실 값이 관찰되었다.

Research on investment determinants of accelerators, which are attracting attention by greatly improving the survival rate of startups by providing professional incubation and investment to startups at the same time, is gradually expanding. However, previous studies do not have a theoretical basis in developing investment determinants in the early stages, and they use factors of angel investors or venture capital, which are similar investors, and are still in the stage of analyzing importance and priority through empirical research. Therefore, this study verified for the first time in Korea the discrimination and effectiveness of investment determinants using accelerator investment determinants developed based on the business model innovation framework in previous studies. To this end, we first set the criteria for success and failure of startup investment based on scale-up theory and conducted a survey of 22 investment experts from 14 accelerators in Korea, and secured valid data on a total of 97 startups, including 52 successful scale-up startups and 45 failed scale-up startups, were obtained and an independent sample t-test was conducted to verify the mean difference between these two groups by accelerator investment determinants. As a result of the analysis, it was confirmed that the investment determinants of accelerators based on business model innovation framework have considerable discrimination in finding successful startups and making investment decisions. In addition, as a result of analyzing manufacturing-related startups and service-related startups considering the characteristics of innovation by industry, manufacturing-related startups differed in business model, strategy, and dynamic capability factors, while service-related startups differed in dynamic capabilities. This study has great academic implications in that it verified the practical effectiveness of accelerator investment determinants derived based on business model innovation framework for the first time in Korea, and it has high practical value in that it can make effective investments by providing theoretical grounds and detailed information for investment decisions.
