Nowadays, SCM(supply chain management) is recognized as a efficient way to overcome the limits of asset and capability of one fun through the synergy effects comes from strategic alliance. Traditionally material management and logistics are recognized as a simple functional activity. But as the importance and needs of customer service are increased, gradually these activities are given to strategic role of cutting off the cost and increasing the sales. But unlike traditional alliance, for example technology alliance or holding facility in common, SCM has many difficulties in action because of differences in organization structure and management system between two firms. So in this paper, I will review literatures about the concept and constructing factor of SCM, the conditions for effective doing and strategic implications.

This study analyses support policy and structural change of textile industry in Daegu Kyungbuk region, and suggests major issues for textile industry's innovation. In Daegu Kyungbuk, it was 1999 that a policy, so called Milano Project, in order to promote a textile industry was devised. In 2004, the Regional Industrial Promotion Plan was devised. The plan was born from a view point of establishing a regional innovation system and of promoting the innovative clusters under a knowledge based economy. After then, the Regional Industry Promotion Project or Regional Strategic Industry Promotion Project became a core of regional textile industrial policy. Research results indicated that the first stage Milano project (1999-2003) showed both positive and negative effects. There were no long-term development plan, clear vision and strategy. But, core industrial infrastructure for differentiated product development, such as New product Development Support Center and Dyeing Design Practical Application Center, was constructed. The second stage Daegu Textile Industry Promotion Plan (2004-2008) displayed a significant technological performance and new product sales with the assistance of Kyungbuk province. Also, textile industry revealed positive fruits such as financial structure, productivity, and profitability as a result of strong restructuring. In industrial structure, there was a important change from clothe textile material to industry textile material. Most of textile companies did not showed high capability in CEO's technology innovation intention, entrepreneurship, R&D and human resource competency in compare with other industry. We suggested that Daegu Kyungbuk has to select and concentrate on the high-tech textile material and living textile for sustainable development and competitiveness. We also proposed a confidence and cooperation based innovation network and company oriented innovation cluster.

Industry-academy Collaboration alms to produce synergy-empowerment through co-opt between university and business within R&D and human resource management. The lack of indigenous R&D capabilities makes Korean small businesses not have sustainable competitive advantages. While the Korean government has increased the budgetary supports on small businesses since the late 1990s to enhance technological capabilities of small businesses, the competitiveness gap between large and small firms has been widened. The alternative for the government support is considered as active industry-academy collaboration. After exploring various policy measures for the collaboration with classifying them and pointing out their problems from a technological innovation perspective, this study shows the more expected roles of the collaboration to be a catalyst coordinating the R&D activities among the local small businesses, local universities, and public research institutes. Based upon the analyses, this study suggests several policy alternatives to facilitate the technological innovations of small businesses in the regional innovation clusters.

In recent years, China has gradually made clear its decision to modernize the governance system and governance capacity of the government by the virtue of digital transformation. As for the smart prison, as a penal institution of the state, technological reform is a key element in the sustainable development of smart prisons; however, relying on technology does not necessarily lead to a better service experience. Service design concept, as a coordinator of technology and social sustainability, needs to be adapted to the technological integration of smart prisons and to the needs for service design in the prison context in a new mode of thinking about services. This paper takes the development of the Jail Pay financial services system, one of the twelve sub-systems of the Smart Prison, as an entry point to explore the characteristics and shortcomings of the service design approach in achieving sustainable service innovation in the Smart Prison, it proposes an experience-based lead collaborative design (EBLCD) that is suitable for the specific needs in the prison context. The EBLCD is a theoretical framework and practical experience for sustainable service innovation in the construction of smart prisons.

The current research investigates the strategies for fostering service industries from the service's nature perspectives. Because the service industry is broad and heterogeneous in nature, if service's nature is not considered in building strategies for developing service industries, it would have a limited perspective, and thus, it would be difficult to foster large growth in service industries. In addition, not considering service's nature would not encourage synergy among service sectors nor encourage innovative development among individual sectors. Therefore, we need to understand that different service sectors are all under the umbrella for service industries, and consider the service's nature. The current research considers the service's relational, bidirectional, horizontality, and harmonization nature of services, and also, intangibility, inseparability, heterogeneity, perishability were considered in suggesting strategies for fostering service industries. These results can be used to developing governmental policies for developing service industries.

This paper investigates empirically the relationship between various business portfolio properties (particularly technological properties) and chaebol's performance using data on the 50largest chaebols in Korea. In addition to the traditional indexes to measure diversification such as entropy index, we calculated inter-industry technological similarity using R'||'&'||'D expenditure data by industry and 1990 Input-output Table in korea, and obtained chaebol-level technological relatedness and internal transaction proportion from chaebols' business profile, inter-inustry technological similarity and 1990 input-output table. We applied factor analysis on 13 business portfolio property indexes and showed that they could be grouped into 3 dimensions. diversification scope, inter-business relatedness and degree of vertical integration. In this paper, using 50 largest chaebols' financial data (1989-1994), we analyzed empirically the effect of business portfolio properties on ROS(Return On Sales) which is conventional index for firm performance and on TFP(Total Factor Productivity) growth which is a pure measure of firm performance. To utilize the advantage of panel data, FEM(Fixed Effect Model) and REM(Random Effect Model) were used. The empirical result shows that the entropy index as a measurement of inter-business relatedness in not significant but technological relatedness index is significant. OLS estimates on pooled data were considerably different from FEM or REM estimates on panel data. By introducing interaction effect among the three variables for business portfolio properties, we obtained three findings. First, only VI(Vertical integration) has a significant positive correlation with ROS. Second, when using TFP growth as an dependent variable, both TR(Technological Relatedness) and VI are significant and positively related to the dependent variable. Third, the interaction term between TR and VI is significant and negatively affects TFP growth, meaning that TR and VI are substitutes. These results suggest strategic directions on restructuring business portfolio. As VI is increased, chaebols will get more profit. A higher level of either TR or VI will increase TFP growth rate, but increase in both TR and VI will have a negative effect on TFP growth. To summarize, certain business portfolio properties such as VI and TR can be considered "resources" themselves since they can affect profit rate and productivity growth. VI and TR have a synergy effect of change in profit rate and productivity growth. VI increases ROS and productivity growth, while TR increases productivity growth representing a technological synergy effect.t.

오늘날 기업간 M & A가 활발히 진행되면서 브랜드 자산가치에 대한 연구는 학계와 실무계에 있어 커다란 관심이 집중되면서 브랜드의 역할에 대해서 다양한 새로운 관점이 제시되고 있다. 브랜드 자산가치와 관련한 기존의 연구들은 주로 평가에 관한 것이 대부분이었으나 최근에 와서 브랜드 자산가치의 중요성이 부각됨으로써 브랜드 자산가치의 형성에 대한 영향요인의 연구가 활발히 이루어 지고 있다. 하지만 이틀 연구의 대부분은 제품 품질과 광고톨 중심으로 한 기업의 통제 변수인 마케팅믹스-4P(product, price, place, promotion)-에 연구의 초점을 맞추고 있다. 하지만, 오늘날 기술혁신에 힘입어 규모의 경제성이나 경험효과에 의한 비용 우위는 거의 기대될 수 없게 되었고, 품질에서도 기업간의 격차가 현저히 줄어들었다. 그러고 막대한 비용의 문제로 인하여 매스미디어등의 광고를 통한 브랜드 자산가치의 형성이 결코 쉬운 일이 아니다. 특히 오늘의 국내의 기업현실을 감안하면 더욱 어려운 실정이다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 기존의 연구에서 다루지 않았던 고객만족 실현를 위한 핵심개념인 내부마케팅과 다양한 소비자 욕구에 있어 신속히 대응하는 브랜드 수의 증가를 브랜드 자산가치의 형성에 대한 새로운 영향요인으로 선정하여 마케팅믹스 요인과 더불어 이들의 영향성을 실증분석을 통하여 검증하였다. 본 연구의 결론을 이용하여 다음과 같은 브랜드 자산가치에 대한 마케팅에 있어서 전략적 시사점을 제안한다. 첫째, 브랜드 자산가치톨 형성 내지 강화하기 위해서는 내부마케팅 요인, 브랜드수의 증가요인, 마케팅믹스 요인중에서 어느 한 요인만으로 한계가 있기 때문에 3가지 요인을 동시에 활용하여 시너지 효과를 노려야할 것이다. 아울러 다양화, 세분화되어 가고 있는 소비자 니즈에 신속히 대용하기 위해서는 브랜드의 수의 증가를 통한 마케팅전략으로의 실천이 시의 적절한 방법중 하나라고 판단된다. 둘째, 기존의 많은 연구에서 알 수 있듯이 그동안 브랜드 자산가치의 구성요소에 대한 영향 요인으로 마케팅믹스적 요인을 주로 다루어 왔는데, 본 연구 결과에 의하면 내부마케팅요인과 브랜드수의 증가요인도 브랜드 자산가치의 구성요소에 많은 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났기 때문에 기업들은 이들 요인에 대한 세밀한 검토와 관심이 요구된다. 셋째, 기업들은 향후 브랜드 자산가치를 증대하기 위한 장기적이고 전략적인 관리방안이 요구된다.
