One of the biggest challenges in export activities of SME is the increasingly cultural diversity that requires especially export managers to adapt their doing business in many different kinds of cross-cultural situations effectively. A relative newly developed concept 'Cultural Intelligence' has been evaluated as a key element for the success in international business activities. This study aims to investigate empirically the role of Cultural Intelligence(CQ), one component of cultural competence, on export marketing adaptation. The statistical method used to test the hypotheses was Structural Equation Modeling using PLS. The results of this study are follows. The moderating role of Cultural Intelligence between information seeking and information using abilities is more stronger in marketing rather than relationship adaptation. Cultural Intelligence moderates between them. Critical factors affecting Cultural Intelligence are also discussed; foreign language fluency, business travels in abroad, characteristics of the business travels, multi-lingual ability, pre-education related cultural subjects, and visit experience in foreign countries. Especially, export managers' foreign language ability leads to much stronger influence on cultural intelligence. The result of the empirical study provides important implications for export SME and export supporting organizations. Export firms and supporting organizations must expand programs widely in multi cultural training and education to help managers gain a better understanding in a various export environment.

방송통신융합의 핵심으로 자리잡은 IPTV는 통신서비스와 방송산업의 경계를 허무는 동시에 새로운 시장을 형성하고 있다. 세계최고의 초고속 인터넷 망을 보유하고 있는 우리나라는 방송통신 융합규제에 묶여 IPTV분야가 상당기간 답보상태에 있었다. 반면 해외시장은 2008년에 2,500만 가입자를 넘어설 정도로 커지고 있는데 국내 IPTV공급업자들의 해외시장 진출 전략에 대한 국내 연구가 부족한 것이 문제이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 국내의 IPTV시장 답보상태에서도 IPTV의 필수 구성요소인 셋톱박스, CA/DRM, 미들웨어, 네트워크장비, 요금청구 플랫폼 등을 개발한 국내 IPTV공급업체들이 성공적으로 해외에 진출하기 위한 전략을 세우고 최적의 비즈니스를 펼칠 수 있도록 하는 요인을 발굴하여 글로벌전략 모델을 제시하고자 한다.

오늘날 우리 사회는 물산업의 성장성을 높이 평가, 국내 물산업 육성이 경제발전을 위하여 중요하다고 말한다. 따라서 정부는 정부대로, 기업은 기업대로 시장의 육성 및 선점을 위하여 많은 노력을 경주하고 있다. 특히 최근에는 국내 물시장의 성장 한계성을 이유로 해외 물시장 진출의 중요성이 강조되고 있다. 하지만 우리사회는 정작 해외 시장 진출을 위해 무엇보다 중요한 부문인 시장에 대한 정보 탐색에는 노력이 미흡한 실정이다. 즉 해외 물시장 진출의 중요성을 강조하고는 있지만, 어느 시장을 목표시장으로 선정해야 하는지, 무엇이 우리의 강점인지, 무엇을 고객에게 줄 것인지 등에 대한 탐색이 미흡함에 따라, 해외 물시장 진출에 대한 속 시원한 해법을 제시하는 이는 많지 않다. 이에 본 논고는 물시장의 성장 가능성이 높을 것이라고 알려진 아시아 시장의 여러 국가 가운데 국내 시장에도 잘 알려져 있지 않은 말레이시아 시장을 중심으로 정부 정책, 시장 환경, 현지 기술력 등에 관하여 살펴보고, 이를 기초로 시장으로서의 기회와 위험, 그리고 국내 기업의 강점과 약점을 살펴보았다. 분석결과로서 기회와 위험, 강점과 약점을 약술하면 다음과 같다. 먼저 기회의 관점에서 말레이시아는 치수사업, 수도사업, 환경정화사업 등 물산업 인프라가 여전히 취약한 점에서 국내 물기업에게 시장으로서의 기회를 제공하고 있다. 둘째, 외국계 기업에 대한 정부의 규제, 부실한 수도 재정 및 낮은 요금 등은 외국계 기업에 게 있어 위험 요인이 된다. 셋째, 높은 기술력을 이용하여 성공적으로 물 인프라를 구축 운영함으로써 선진국 수준의 물안정성 및 안전성을 확보하고, 4대강살리기 사업과 같은 대규모 프로젝트를 통해 녹색성장 모델을 구축함은 국내 물기업의 큰 강점이다. 넷째, 국내 기업에 대한 현지 시장의 낮은 인지도는 약점 요인이 된다. 현지 이해 관계자의 말에 따르면 "한국계 기업은 보유하고 있는 기술력에 비해 '기업' 및 '보유기술'에 대한 홍보가 부족하다"라고 지적한다. 결과적으로 국내 물기업이 현지 시장에 성공적으로 진출하기 위해서는 무엇보다 국내 기업에 대한 그리고 국내 기술력에 대한 적극적인 홍보가 필요할 것이다.

The purpose of this study is to explore whether entering the overseas market can be an opportunity in overcoming the limitations of the single profit structure in which the traditional performing arts industry relies on public support. To this end, we applied the concept of industrial value-chain and business model and divided the overseas market entry process into four stages-preparation, promotion, harvest, and follow-up. Based on three case-studies that actively pursued overseas market development with market-oriented thinking in the field of traditional music, the relevant entry model of overseas market for the Korean traditional performing arts industry was suggested. Although the overseas market is not yet a major source of revenue, the traditional performing arts teams searching for profit diversification can consider the overseas entry model derived from this study. Also as found in case studies, the Korean government should establish an institutional system to foster planning and distribution experts in charge of overseas markets for the traditional performing arts, and develop a long-term information provision program away from the one-time expense support.

최근 기후변화의 영향으로 극심한 가뭄과 홍수가 발생하고 기온 또한 꾸준히 상승하고 있으며, 이러한 변화에 대응하기 위해 전 세계에서 이산화탄소를 줄이고 국제 에너지 시장을 재구성하려는 시도가 꾸준히 이루어지고 있다. World Energy Outlook(2012)에 따르면 특히 에너지 시장에서 개발도상국의 수력분야 개발투자가 2035년까지 15,490억 달러에 이를 것으로 전망됨에 따라 국내에서 해외 수력발전사업에 적극적으로 나서고 있다. 그러나 국내와는 달리 댐 건설의 사전조사에 필요한 자료가 없거나 구축하는데 문제가 있어 손쉽게 구할 수 있는 자료로 사전에 수력발전 댐 적지를 조사할 수 있는 기술의 개발이 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 수력발전용 댐 위치 결정을 위한 예비 적지 분석 알고리즘을 개발하고, 분석 알고리즘에 위성영상자료인 30m 해상도의 ASTGTM(ASTER Global Digital Elevation Model)와 500m 해상도의 MCD12Q1(MODIS/Terra Aqua Land Cover) 토지피복자료를 사용하고자 한다. 예비 적지 분석 알고리즘은 DEM의 전처리, 하천망생성, 유역분할과 지형정보를 고려한 자동적지탐색과 댐 건설시 수몰면적에 따른 보상면적 산정 알고리즘을 포함하고 있으며 Python기반의 오픈소스 GIS로 구현되었다. 적지산정은 DEM으로부터 낙차, 도달시간, 내용적곡선과 같은 지형정보와 토지피복도를 통한 보상면적을 기반으로 순위를 매겨 사용자에게 최적의 위치들을 표출한다. 본 연구의 결과는 향후 해외 수력 댐 적지 예비분석 및 해외 수력산업 진출을 지원할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

The study proposes an exploratory analysis on the success of animation films in Korea industry. It identifies animation films that have been successful in the Korean film industry during 2004-2013 period and explores (1) how the number of screens allocated to the films have been changed; (2) what are the major factors that influence the success of the films; (3) what are the differences between Japan and the US animation in terms of plots and genres; and (4) how the characteristics of the US animations are related to the success of the US market, the global market, and Korean market. Analyses show that the number of screens allocated to the animation films has been consistently increased due to the vertical integration of Korean film industry; and the (FTA) period, months in year (summer and winter break months for middle and high school students), and the number of screens allocated to the films were the major factors influencing the financial success of animations. It also finds that specific characteristics embedded in its own cultural trait were shown in the plots and genres in the animations. Lastly the study also finds that specific set of characteristics extracted from IMDB site influence certain markets. Budgets and actor's power were found to influence the success in the US market while period (pre-FTA, FTA, post-FTA) only influence the success in Korean market. The study points out that the success of the US and Japan animations in Korean film industry are due to the historicity of animation cultures which are not found in Korean animation industry.

The aim of this study is to utilize system trading for making investment decisions and use technical analysis and Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) to determine similar patterns in the frequency of stock data and ascertain the optimal timing for trade. The study will examine some of the most common patterns in the futures market and use DTW in terms of their frequency (10, 30, 60 minutes, and daily) to discover similar patterns. The recognized similar patterns were verified by executing trade simulation after applying specific strategies to the technical indicators. The most profitable strategies among the set of strategies applied to common patterns were again applied to the similar patterns and the results from DTW pattern recognition were examined. The outcome produced useful information on determining the optimal timing for trade by using DTW pattern recognition through system trading, and by applying distinct strategies depending on data frequency.

This study analyzed valid samples of 707 units collected by conducting paper and online surveys on the Korean, the Chinese, the American, and the Japanese. The result showed that a significant causal relationship exists between power distance and pull motivation as well as collectivism and push motivation, which led to a conclusion that developing travel packages that can strengthen bonding of fraternal societies through various events and attractions is effective for respondents from Asian countries. On the other hand, Americans turned out to prefer practical plans, which could provide individual's needs and preferences, for example, a self-healing package. This study, using a simple survey, may have a limitation in that it does not allow the participants to express their opinions. However, the study is meaningful that it made a theoretical contribution utilizing Hofstede's cultural dimensions index, two types of motivation, and theories of customer satisfaction and revisit intention. It also has a practical implication in that it proposes the most optimal and applicable overseas travel marketing strategy by comparing cultural traits of each country.
