$\Box$ 시장개요 o 독일 자동판매기 시장은 매출이나 수입, 수출량에서 큰 성장이 없다. 그러나 기존의 주를 이루던 음료, 스낵 자판기 이외에 다양한 자판기 물품 수요가 높아지고 있어 새로운 시장 개척의 기회가 되고 있다. o 자판기 시장의 대부분을 차지하는 음료, 스낵 자판기는 주로 사내에 비치되어 있다. 쉽게 거래처를 바꾸지 않는 독이 바이어 특성상, 기존 고객 유지와 신상품 개발이 주요 성공요인이 될 수 있다. o 자동판매기 시장의 특징은 담당 업체가 자판기 판매에서부터 지속적인 제품 조달 유지, 청소까지 맡게 된다는 점이다. 급격한 수요 증가가 예상되지 않는 한, 구매후의 서비스가 재구매 여부를 결정한다고 할 수 있다. $\Box$ 경쟁 동향 o 독일 자판기 시장에는 독일 제품과 더불어 프랑스, 네덜란드와 같은 주변 유럽국가의 제품들이 시장을 지배하고 있다. 대부분 한 업체에서 물품에 상관없이 다양한 자판기를 생산하고 있다. o 최근에는 선택의 폭이 넓은 복잡하고 다양한 자판기 제품이 인기를 끌고 있다. 박람회를 통해 선보이는 신상품에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. o 신선한 디자인과 다양해진 제품의 양이 새로운 구매 요소로 떠오르고 있다. 자판기의 위치 또한 중요한 변수가 되면서 좋은 위치 선점이 경쟁력 향상에 도움이 될 것으로 보인다. $\Box$ 마케팅 참고사항 o 자동판매기의 경우, 사업 파트너와의 협상이나 각각 상품에 따라 가격이 매우 유동적이다. 기존 시장에서의 기업 인지도 역시 가격 협상에 영향을 미치기 때문에 시장의 정확한 가격을 알아보기가 매우 힘들다. 자사의 가격이 곧 핵심역량을 나타내기 때문에 제3자에게 공개되는 일이 적다. o 독일에서는 우리나라와 달리 온라인 광고시장이 활성화되어 있지 않다. 자동판매기도 온라인 광고보다는 전문 잡지를 통해 광고한다. 올해에도 이런 경향은 지속될 것으로 보인다. $\Box$ 수출 시 참고사항 o 자판기 관련 제품의 독일 진출 시 현재까지 특별한 제약 사항은 없다. 관세는 1.7%이며 부가세는 다른 제품과 동일하게 19%를 적용 받는다. o CE 마크의 획득은 필수적이다. 독일 내 진출을 생각한다면 GS 마크를 획득하는 것도 도움이 된다.

Service industries nowadays have become the subject of a scientific research. However, unlike research on manufacturing, there has not yet been a broader presentation of important aspects theoretically and methodologically. The importance of service sector in both national and global economies has grown significantly. An active participation of service industries in the internationalization process, notably by licensing and FDI, has occurred over time. But a few sub-sectors still dominate on this process, for example, financial institutions such as banks, securities, and insurance as well as producer services in advertising and accounting. On the other hand, personal services that are owned by small- and medium- sized firm have limited capabilities in their transnational transfer. This paper attempts to examine various factors influencing decisions for these small- and medium- sized Korean beauty firms in entering to the foreign markets. Determining factors for these firms in the engagement of internationalization depends largely on competitive advantages in both domestic and host countries, and they may be different from those in the sub-sectors mentioned above. Based on previous researches, i identified three categories of independent variables(characteristics of firms, managers, and competition) that can influence decisions to enter to the foreign markets. Seven hypotheses have been tested by using a sample of beauty firms in Daegu city and Kyungbuk province. The results show that the intention of these firms to enter to the foreign markets is significantly influenced by the factors of the innovative character of CEO's, the competitiveness of firms, and size of firms.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the changes in trade and industry of Korea and suggest implications from the perspective of global value chains following the spread of COVID-19. To this end, products for prevention of epidemics which is directly related to COVID-19 and IT industries with high GVC participation were analyzed. Due to the spread of COVID-19, the variation in import and export of products for prevention of epidemics was large. In the case of masks, import and export of final goods changed drastically, but the change in intermediate goods was not significant relatively. Korea's IT industry has been differentiated according to major trading partners amid overall changes in GVCs which is summarized as higher forward participation and lower backward participation. While no particular change resulted from COVID-19 has yet been made directly, the need for diversification strategies should be taken into account at a time when the production links with China and Vietnam are close and the dependence on trade with these countries is high. The COVID-19 is still in progress, requiring corporate strategies and policy efforts to respond to changes in GVCs in the post-COVID-19 era.

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the Japanese emission trading system and climate change policy thereby contributing to the instituting of similar systems that will be viable for the Korean context. In applying such analyses, it is important to include a careful consideration of cost sharing between stakeholders and firms, an enhancement of the trust worthiness of data concerning greenhouse gases, and an examination of related infrastructure such as emissions authentication agencies and their development. Moreover, it is important to minimize the outflow of domestic resources such as offset credit, green electricity certification system, and ecopoint, making compatible economic growth and carbon reduction thereby encouraging the production and dissemination of 'Environmental Value' as well as connecting 'Environmental Value' to a emission trading system.
