Purpose - This study aims to investigate the success factors pertaining to K-POPs from an analysis of the internal business environment. Much research has investigated Korean Moves or how to popularize them. The research mainly focused on aspects of Korean Moves. However, few studies have attempted to examine Korean Moves or K-POPs from a managerial viewpoint. The current research tries to investigate the success factors of K-POP from strategic perspectives, specifically utilizing internal resource based view perspectives. It differentiates itself by looking at the competitiveness of K-POP from the internal resources. Research design, data, and methodology - In the entertainment industry, where creativity is heavily stressed, competitiveness is often regarded within the organization as a form of intangible asset, knowledge, or technology that is often related with the organization's personnel. Some research has tried to reveal the competitiveness of K-POP using Porter's competitiveness of nations framework. Others utilize the adapted model of Porter's structure. However, these models only look at the outside environment, and not inside a firm's resource, knowledge, or capabilities. This research utilizes the VRIO model to examine the internal resources and capabilities of K-POP producers. The model measures whether a firm's internal resources and capabilities are valuable, rare, difficult to imitate by competitors, or organizable. The research covered businesses whose yearly revenue exceeds $10 Million in music planning and recording in South Korea. There were only thirteen such companies (one percent of the total population). Of these, companies for whom 20 percent or more of the sales revenue comes from the abroad are targeted. Only seven are selected and these participated in the research. In order to find a firm's internal resources, we conducted qualitative research methodology. Their business names and persons who participated in this research are not revealed due to case sensitive issues. Instead, we use unrelated initials for their names and their statements. Results - From the in-depth interview with top-tier K-POP producers and managers, the current research tried to identify resources and capabilities that helped to strengthen their competitiveness. These resources and capabilities are sought from the scope of the VRIO model, which looks at the internal resources and capabilities from the scope of value, rarity, imitability, and organization. Interviews with the top tier producers and managers reveal the internal success factors of K-POPs. We conclude that these resources and capabilities are from internally accumulated producing know-how, unique managing (training) system, and outstanding all-round entertainment capabilities of the performers. Conclusions - These results indicate that the core resources and capabilities of K-POP are robust. It will take a significant amount of time and money to imitate for followers, because these resources and capabilities are the result of time investment and are embedded into producers' and performers' know-how. Taking Luo (2000)'s argument, K-POP is in the second stage of the globalization process, which is configuring and allocation resource capabilities to a global scope.

This study investigates the different pattern of trade negotiation between Korea and Japan. For the Korea, it is inevitable to enhance nation's competitiveness position amid the rapidly changed international environment. Especially, Korea's recent experience of IMF credit under economic crisis during 1997-1999 tells us the importance of international trade and trade negotiation. Our main interest is focused on the comparative pattern of both countries with the recognition that the role of the negotiation can not be overemphasized for the Korea. This is because Korea has continuously recorded the huge trade deficits with Japan for the long time. Although we consider the different degrees of products quality, industrial structure, productivity, and national competitiveness of both countries, it is necessarily required to pay special attention on different pattern of negotiation skills and tactics between two countries. In the paper, we suggest some important guidelines for Korea to improve its negotiation technique with Japan. First, valuing human relation between negotiators, rather than negotiating process. Second, preparing for negotiations: the negotiators should try to carve out enough time to prepare for the bargaining. Third, appreciating the power of patience: very essential to effective outputs. Fourth, being a specialist on both countries' culture and avoiding lawyers' intervention for conflict resolution.

These days, by the accelerated developments of science and industries and the menaces of war and terror, humans have come to have instinct to recur and nostalgia to nature and thereby many art works and designs with natural objectives have begun to be produced. Also the design in 21st century requires creative products based on cultural speciality of the countries. As the examples, we may easily find the images of the countries from visual expressions or products when we get in touch with the products of so called advanced countries in design i. e. U.S.A. Japan, Germany, France, Italy, countries of Scandinavian peninsular. This study, in such stream of the times, was to express our culture's own originality on clothing design with butterfly that is one of natural thing as the material but limited the boundary to realistic butterflies in folk drawings of the times of Chosun. As for the technique of expression, used digital textile printing for best expression of the fine lines, realistic shapes and peculiar colors of the butterflies in Chosun folk drawings and used diverse materials as materials for printing for diversity of the designs. Thereby this thesis is purposed to grope the products with superior competitiveness in the world market by presenting the realistic butterflies in Chosun folk drawings as motives with cultural value native to Korea and applying them to clothing designs.

This study aimed at developing tea furniture with beauty of traditional Korean furniture. As the population which drinks tea increases day by day in the light of LOHAS (Lifestyles of Health and Sustainability) era, the importance of the tea culture has been brought out and the interest of the pieces has increased with the cultural space. But the study is still not only insufficient for Korean tea cultural space, it is but also hard for us to find such pieces as holding the original culture's charm. Thus, after studying concepts and spatial qualities of the tea cultural space based on the traditional culture and after investigating the tea objects including the integral parts, a piece of tea shelf with table which hits the emotion of Korea necessary to tea cultural space was created with solid wood. As a result, if we rediscover and develop the tea pieces with beauty of traditional Korean furniture mentioned as the green furniture, the objects will be standing on tiptoe as contemporary tea pieces conveying the identity of Korea. In addition, they will have a competitiveness across the world pursuing LOHAS beyond well-being.

With increasing interest in the health and safety of food served in restaurants, more emphasis is being placed on the importance of health and food. As a result, Yaksun cuisine with new added effects and image is becoming more popular as a way to improve people's health. This study analyzed the effects of selection attributes relating to Yaksun cuisine on customer satisfaction and intention to maintain relationship in order to understand various needs of consumers as they relate to health food. The results showed that, among selection attributes of Yaksun cuisine, price, safety, and health were found to have significant effects on customer satisfaction; however, the effect of quality on satisfaction was not verified. Moreover, while the effect of safety and health of Yaksun cuisine on the intention to maintain relationship was found to be significant, the effects of quality and price on the intention to maintain relationship were not verified. These findings suggest that consumers believe Yaksun cuisine is more beneficial for health than general food and trust the origin label, hygiene, and safety of ingredients in Yaksun cuisine. Therefore, the results of this study suggests providing opportunities for consumers to experience diverse tastes in Yaksun cuisine and that development and promotion of different recipes using Yaksun ingredients will help reinforce competitiveness of Yaksun cuisine in the market and increase sales.

This study is aimed to figure out the productivity and variability of cage-aquaculture changes. According to the analysis, the productivity of major fish species has been increasing, except mullet. Although the regional productivity has decreased in the last two years, it has been on the rise considering as a whole. Gyeongsangnam-do showed the highest level of productivity by region. Productivity by species was also higher than other regions in the cases of rock fish, mullet and sea bream followed by productivity of Chungcheongnam-do. The production of marine cage-culture in Jeollanam-do is the second largest in Korea in value/weight while its productivity is lower than that of Chungcheongnam-do. When it comes to comparison by region, Gyeongsangnam-do shows the lowest productivity variation. And Jeollanam-do shows the second-lowest variation in productivity that is only about half of that of Chungcheongnam-do province. Thus, it is found that Jeollanam-do region has an advantage in management stability while its productivity is low. On the other hand, productivity by species was also analyzed. Gyeongsangnam-do has the highest productivity by species for rock fish, mullet and sea bream whereas rock bream productivity is the highest in Jeollanam-do. Therefore, it probably needs to reflect these results when choosing regional-focused incubation fish species.

우리나라의 중소기업은 전체 사업체 수의 99.8%, 종사자 비중의 87.8%, 전체 생산액의 48.4%를 차지하는 등 국가경제의 근간을 형성하고 있으며, 고용창출, 기술혁신, 산업의 다양성, 지역균형개발 등 여러 측면에서 국민경제 발전에 있어서 실질적인 원동력이 되고 있다. 이로 인해 중소기업은 기술혁신을 통해서 기술역량을 확보하는 것이 더욱더 필요해졌다. 하지만 대부분의 중소기업은 자금부담 능력은 물론 R&D인력, 연구장비 등 R&D 역량이 대체적으로 부족한 실정이다. 이에 정부에서는 중소기업 지원을 위해서 정부 출연(연)을 통해 다양한 정책적 지원을 강화하고 있다. 즉, 정부출연연구소는 산업 전반의 혁신활동을 증진시키고, 기업의 기술역량을 강화하기 위해 R&D를 통해 창출된 지식과 기술을 꾸준히 시장에 제공하고 있으며, 중소 중견기업이 견실한 기업으로 도약할 수 있도록 인력지원, 장비지원/연구시설 등을 통해 기업들을 지원하는 역할을 수행하고 있다. 특히 중소기업은 국민경제에서 차지하는 비중이 높을 뿐만 아니라 정치, 경제적인 면에서도 그 영향력이 커서 중소기업의 경쟁력 제고는 지속적인 경제 성장을 위해 반드시 달성해야 할 국가적인 주요 정책목표가 되고 있다. 이러한 이유로 중소기업의 경쟁력 제고를 위해 기업을 둘러싸고 있는 환경, 전략, 조직문화 등과 같은 추상화된 개념들 사이의 관계를 구체적으로 살펴볼 필요가 있다. 본 연구는 중소 벤처기업이 지속적인 경쟁력을 유지하기 위해 외부환경과 전략, 조직구조의 일치성(fit)을 추구할 때, 중소 벤처기업의 업종별, 영업형태별로 어떠한 조직문화가 기업성과(영업이익)에 유의미한 영향을 미치는지 알아보고자 665개 기업을 대상으로 실증분석을 하였다. 삼원분산분석(3-way ANOVA)을 통해 기업성과(영업이익)에 대한 중소 벤처기업의 업종, 영업형태, 조직문화의 주효과 및 상호작용효과를 검증한 결과, 중소 벤처기업의 업종은 통계적으로 유의미한 주효과가 있는 것으로 나타났으나, 영업형태와 조직문화는 유의미한 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 중소 벤처기업의 세 가지 독립변수 간의 상호작용효과를 분석한 결과, 업종, 영업형태, 조직문화 간에는 통계적으로 유의미한 상호작용효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 구체적으로 살펴보면, ICT 서비스의 경우, B2B 기업은 관계지향적 문화, B2C 기업은 위계지향적 문화, ICT 기기의 경우는 B2B와 B2C 기업 모두 과업지향적 문화에서 기업성과가 상대적으로 높게 나타났으며, SW 기타의 경우, B2B와 B2C 기업 모두 위계지향적 문화에서 기업성과가 상대적으로 높게 나타났다. 이는 기업의 업종과 영업형태별로 적합한 조직문화가 존재한다는 것을 보여주고 있어, 향후 중소 벤처기업의 육성 및 기업성과와 관련된 촉진정책을 수립할 때 의미 있는 기초자료로 활용될 것으로 기대된다.
