Since their discovery in the early 1980's, the market for bonded rare earth magnets has shown steady growth. Today these magnets are widely used for our daily life such as computer peripherals, automotive, consumer electronics, and office automation. However, the price increases of rare-earths started from the $2^{nd}$ half of 2010 became even worse in 2011. During $2^{nd}$ quarter of 2011, almost all of rare-earths showed unprecedented vertical price increases, and it brought significant impact to the related industry in terms of the price and supply. This will ask the fundamental change in the policy of the bonded rare earth industry to expand its market share, which has been highly dependent on the replacement of ferrite magnets via relatively higher performance compared to the price at certain applications. In order to achieve the sustainable growth of bonded rare-earth magnets in the future, it needs to change the current paradigm and setup the new business model. This article includes a brief summary of the rare earth price trend and the applications of the rare-earth bonded magnets. The efforts to improve the performance and diversify the applications for future growth have been also presented.

Since the introduction of carbonated drinks in the 1950s, 'cola' and 'cider'along with orange juice, the dominator of the juice market, have been two main streams of the Korean beverage market. This market pattern has caused the following effects; a. Economical loss due to the import of foreign brands - royalty payments to x company. b. Loss of opportunity to develop a domestic beverage market. c. Inflow of an unfiltered foreign culture. This study shows a change in the Korean beverage market. In the 1980s. consumers' tastes started to change as a trend of developing beverages using traditional Korean ingredients started to begin. On the basis of this change, I would like to discuss the desirable path in developing beverages using traditional ingredients. 'Traditional ingredients'refers to the ingredients that the Korean people have enjoyed within the course of their life, whether it be via food or beverage. These ingredients have been chosen by our people as first rate for centuries. How to modernize and develop these work-in-progress products is the desirable direction for the development of drinks using traditional Korean ingredients. This study also shows various examples of how Korean traditional ingredients and the Western scientific civilization can fuse together to develop a modern and value-added product. One project in particular, created a method of producing a beverage using rice a simple traditional ingredient, marking it a hit product. Through this example, I present the desirable direction of how to develop a modernized drink using traditional ingredients that can change both the consumers' current value on the Korean beverage market as well as create a new pattern of consumer tastes.
