The agricultural sector has an important contribution to the economic development of Vietnam in particular and other countries in general. The growth of enterprises in the industry is an important bridge in promoting the economic development of the country. Currently, the policies of the Government of Vietnam always create favorable conditions for enterprises to conduct business, especially enterprises in the agricultural sector. The study aims to assess factors influencing the profitability of listed firms in Vietnam's stock market. Using 40 enterprises in the agricultural industry listed on the Ho Chi Minh City Stock Exchange and the Hanoi Stock Exchange and using advanced econometric modeling, dealing with defects in the regression model, the research results show that large-scale firm has higher economic efficiency than small-scale firm. In addition, a firm with higher use of loan capital is associated with a more efficient firm, reflected in the relatively good debt management ability of enterprises in the agricultural sector. Adversely, growth and age do not have any impact on firm performance. Macroeconomic factors do not impact profitability. Finally, the study has some policy implications for developing agricultural businesses in the case of Vietnam.

Purpose - Korean agriculture is facing internal and external environmental changes and the need for secure stable outlets. Active participation and mutually beneficial cooperation between enterprises and agricultural is necessary for a win-win situation. This study investigates the case for distribution cooperation and a cooperative system. To respond to the diverse needs of consumers and market reclamation, there is a need to analyze and categorize distribution cooperation. Research design, data, and methodology - A literature study, relevant interviews with enterprises, and meetings with local government practices were conducted. A survey frame was derived through the participation of agricultural enterprises and distribution cooperation models were categorized identifying win-win cooperation and best practices. It was organized on the basis of six best practice examples of distribution cooperation between industry and agricultural sectors, divided into three types: opening distribution channels, exporting cooperation, and developing new products. Results - An innovation management system that can adapt to environmental changes and problems of agriculture is necessary. A company has to supply high-quality agricultural products reliably to meet the preferences of consumers by introducing products that promote domestic market differentiation. In addition, consumers are choosing a variety of products that may include not only high quality products but also local products and safe products. The main areas of cooperation are the direct provision of agrifood raw materials to consumers. Next, would be to help agricultural sectors distribute and pioneer international markets. The ideal step for distribution cooperation is the joint investment in new products by business and agriculture. Conclusions - Agriculture and win-win cooperation with enterprises is in an early stage of social contribution. To implement a distribution cooperation model between business and agricultural sectors, it is crucial to establish a structured support system including joint councils. Additional requirements include strengthening agricultural capacities, creating a legal basis for provision, and producing a win-win cooperation environment. The promotion of win-win cooperation and agricultural enterprises needs to exist in various forms in order to establish a different type of incentive system.

This paper analyzes the efficiency of social enterprises by analyzing bootstrapping data envelopment analysis. Unlike the definitive DEA model, we analyze the confidence intervals of efficiency estimates through the DEA model, which takes into account stochastic factors. Major analysis results are summarized as follows: First, the results of the bootstrapping DEA analysis of social enterprises estimated that the technical efficiency was 0.459 and the 95% confidence interval was 0.389 to 0.601. Second, the number of inefficient social enterprises with efficiency values of less than 0.5 was found to be 15 (55.56%) in technical efficiency, 5 (18.52%) in pure technical efficiency, and 8 (29.63%) in scale efficiency. It can be seen that a significant number of social enterprises are operating in an inefficient state. Third, looking at the returns of scale of social enterprises, 25 (67.57%) are currently in the increasing returns of scale, 10 (27.02%) are in the constant returns of scale, and 2 (5.41%) are in decreasing returns of scale. In other words, it can be seen that social enterprises are under-invested in terms of input factors.

According to the secondary data and the survey results, Rural Industrial Parks play an important role in the regional economy. The result of the survey shows that the enterprises are dissatisfied with excessively high distributing costs and they want improvement of roads and transportation condition. They recruit their employees mainly through advertisement and loan money from banks. One of serious problems is giving up the business due to shortage of fund or failing to find the markets. To prevent quitting business, a preliminary analysis of the feasibility of running business should be conducted. Technology and management guidance and marketing support are necessary not only for new enterprises, but for existing enterprises. Alternatives for connecting local resources and Rural Industrial Park and forming a network between local universities, institutes, and firms should be considered.

본 연구는 농업경영체 종사자를 대상으로 SNS 활용을 조절변수로 하여 내부마케팅요인이 기업성과에 미치는 영향에 관하여 분석하였다. 내부마케팅요인을 교육훈련, 커뮤니케이션으로 및 보상시스템으로 구분하고 기업성과를 재무적성과와 비재무적성과의 하위변수로 설정하였다. 농업경영체 종사자들로부터 수집한 설문지 349부를 실증분석에 사용하였다. SPSS v22.0과 Process macro v3.4를 사용한 분석결과는 첫째, 커뮤니케이션과 보상시스템은 재무적성과에 유의한 영향을 미치고 교육훈련은 재무적성과에 유의한 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 커뮤니케이션은 비재무적성과에 유의한 영향을 미치며 교육훈련은 비재무적성과에 부(-)의 유의한 영향을 미치고 보상시스템은 비재무적성과에 유의한 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, SNS 활용은 내부마케팅요인과 재무적성과 간의 관계를 유의하게 조절하는 것으로 나타났다. 넷째, SNS 활용은 내부마케팅요인과 비재무적성과 간의 관계를 유의하게 조절하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 농업경영체가 가진 특성으로 인해 일반기업에 영향을 미치는 내부마케팅요인이 다르며, 농업경영체의 성과에 영향을 미치는 내부마케팅요인을 발굴했다는 의의를 가진다. 특히 농업경영의 성과확대를 위해서는 커뮤니케이션을 중요하게 다뤄야 한다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 후속 연구로는 매개변수의 발굴로 형성된 매개모형에 대한 연구와 추가로 매개변수가 도입된 조건부과정 모형을 통한 조절된 매개분석을 위한 연구가 필요할 것으로 보인다.

본 연구는 농촌문제의 근원이 일자리 부족에 따른 과도한 인구유출에서 비롯되고 있다는 문제의식 하에 효과적인 농촌지역 기업유치방안 모색을 위해 수행되었다. 연구결과는 우선 기본적으로 2가지 방향에서 접근되어야 할 것임을 일러주고 있다. 첫째는 보다 종합적인 안목에서 적극적으로 접근하여야 할 필요성이 있다는 것이고, 둘째는 농촌지역 기업유치 대상으로 대기업을 우선적으로 고려하여야 할 것임을 제시하고 있다. 이어서 본 연구는 농촌지역 기업유치를 위한 3가지 실질적인 지원정책 실천방안을 제시하고 있다. 첫째는 기업하기에 좋은 인프라를 농촌지역에 구축하는 문제에 정책적 노력이 집중되어야 할 것임을 지적하고 있다. 둘째는 농촌지역에 입지유치를 위한 경제적 지원을 보다 강화하여야 할 것이다. 셋째는 농촌지역 자치단체로 하여금 적극적인 기업유치 활동을 전개하도록 실효적인 지원시스템을 강구하여야 할 것임을 제시하고 있다.

This study aims to identify feasible policy direction of the 6th industrialization in agriculture based on the current agricultural and rural environment in Korea. To do so, this study employes a heckman selection model to correct a probable selection bias, utilizing the Korean agricultural census in 2010 and the agricultural statistics of farm enterprises in 2011. This study focuses on the differences of the farm and off-farm income determinants, according to conjoint types of the 6th industrialization such as Type 1 (primary+secondary+tertiary) vs. Type 2 (primary+secondary or primary+tertiary). The empirical results show Type 2 has much higher possibilities to earn farm and off-farm income in Korea, especially for farm enterprises. This study concludes with providing some policy implications reflecting rural and agricultural environment in Korea.
