Purpose - The aim of this paper is to examine the newly formed a partnership of Amazon, Berkshire Hathaway (Berkshire) and JPMorgan through the lens of strategic alliance, corporate philanthropy, and corporate social responsibility. Research design, data, and methodology - This is an analytical case study that examines the existing scholarly articles in strategic alliances, corporate philanthropy, and corporate social responsibility to explain the recent strategic alliance. Results - There is a clear limitation in explaining this type of unconventional strategic alliance with exiting definitions and concepts because there is no existing study or case available today. Forming a strategic business alliance to create and operate healthcare for their domestic employees could be viewed as a social innovation that resulted from an effort to resolve a social problem, the ineffective healthcare system in the U.S., rather than focusing on business benefits and profits. Conclusions - The success or failure of this type of business alliance would certainly affect the current healthcare system of the United States and global businesses and healthcare industries in the future. However, just entering or tapping into uncharted territory by these three companies to deal with a social issue is significant enough to merit further exploration and analysis for scholars and practitioners.

Dongwon Systems established in 1977 to exclusively supply Dongwon tuna cans, the parent company. Instead of its stable management and profits by relying on the parent company, the company was not complacent and started innovating and challenging new markets. Dongwon Systems decided to expand the business area and pioneer new markets so that it becomes the first domestic company to successfully expand into independent businesses other than parent company products. Such success of Dongwon Systems was driven by its differentiated B2B strategies. Unlike the characteristics of usual B2B companies, Dongwon Systems has been thinking both of its client companies and end-consumers. In this case-study, we will explore how Dongwon Systems became the No.1 packaging solution company in Korea through technology innovation in the aspects of unique B2B marketing strategy. The key success factor can be summarized in three ways; product and technology development with customer centric mind-set, systematically extending new markets through business diversification, and marking Southeast Asia as a bridgehead for its global strategy. It is expected that the current case study of Dongwon Systems will be able to provide implications for B2C companies as well as B2B companies that try to expand their business portfolio and global business areas through B2B marketing case analysis.

본 논문은 코스닥 제조업 중심으로 2004년부터 2014년까지 11년 동안 기업들의 현금흐름과 그 발생액 및 발생액 요소가 기업 영업이익의 지속성과 기업가치에 미치는 관계를 회귀분석을 통하여 살펴보았다. 이 실증적 관계분석을 통하여 기업운영의 효율성을 제고하였고, 투자자 입장에서는 좀 더 합리적인 투자판단을 하기 위한 기초 정보를 제공하는데 본 연구의 목적을 찾을 수 있다. 본 연구의 결과, 현금흐름과 그 발생액 및 발생액 요소들은 지속적으로 기업 영업이익과 기업가치에 유의미적인 관계를 나타냈다. 이는 기업의 영업활동으로 인한 현금흐름 총액, 발생액 총액과 그 주요 요소인 매출채권의 증감, 재고자산의 증감이 기업이익에 정(+)의 영향을 미치고, 또한 매입채무의 증감은 부(-)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 한편 기업 시장가치에는 영업활동으로 인한 현금흐름과 영업활동관련 발생액 총액인 자산부채변동은 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다.

본 연구는 건축 전문건설업체의 경영성과지표와 건설경기지표와의 상관성 분석을 통해 건축 전문건설업체의 대응전략을 제시하는 것을 목적으로 수행되었다. 건축 전문건설업체의 경우, 총자본회전율의 충격에 건설수주액이 반응하는 것은 기업이 총자본을 운용함으로써 건설수주액에 영향을 미치고 있기 때문인 것으로 판단되며, 이러한 활동성이 결국 기업의 영업이익률을 증가시킴으로써 안정성을 확보시키는 것으로 판단된다. 이는 건축 전문건설업체들의 특성상 총자본의 운용이 수주활동에 영향을 미치기 때문인 것으로 평가된다. 따라서 건축 전문건설업체는 총자본의 운용계획을 구체적으로 수립함으로써 기업의 안정성을 확보할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

The Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO) recorded 2.9 trillion won deficit in the aftermath of the world financial crisis. KEPCO is trying to escape from the business crisis in every way; however, it is impossible to make huge profit by selling electricity alone. Overseas electrical utilities make profits by selling gas and heat along with electricity. However, it is difficult for KEPCO to enter the gas and the heat selling market because other public companies are already dealing with them. In this situation, improving the business is possible when KEPCO develops a new business model and creates added value using Korean advanced Power IT combined with electricity. This study shows a new business model using Power IT, based on a survey targeting managers in KEPCO branch office and electrical engineers in the field. We hope the new business model suggested in this study is adapted to the real field to create high value in the future.

Korean mobile telecommunications market is shifting from 2G to 3G service. Considering the revenue of voice-based communication has reached its maximum, 3G services can provide telecommunication companies with the opportunity to increase their revenues. As the competition in the market is becoming fierce, mobile carriers are trying to increase their profits by preventing their customers from switching to rivals.

In this research, we tried to develop and test a model that aids further understanding of the determinants of continuance intention to use the current 3G service. We conducted empirical study through the analysis of 3G service users' data in Korea.

This paper examines the relationship between diversification and financial performance of community credit unions in Korea from 2011 to 2017. To do so, I employ fixed-effects panel analyses using credit union level panel data collected from the National Credit Union Federation of Korea. This study finds evidence that business diversification is likely to lower the ratio of troubled loans, which means improving asset quality of credit unions. However, the relationship between diversification and asset quality is not linear but nonlinear, which means over-diversification would have negative effects on asset quality. Next, diversification tends to increase profitability. Specifically, although diversification results in a rise in expenditures, an increase in profits made by diversification outweighs the rise in expenditures, which contributes to profitability. Put together, diversification would be a good business strategy to improve both profitability and asset quality. Given a result that fast loan growth deteriorates asset quality, credit unions' managers might adopt the diversification strategy to enhance asset quality, and not to pursue their own objectives motivated by moral hazards.
