  • In this article, we propose a typology of industry convergences which encourages to invent new types of products and services through combining technologies across industries and identifying success factors of convergence industries which were resulted by industry convergences. In detail, the proposed typology of industry convergences is analyzed based on three viewpoints such as academic areas that provide the knowledge of convergence technologies, industry structures for the existing markets, and user experiences used for improving user friendliness. Such viewpoints can not only be considered as the sources for convergence industries but also be closely related with success factors of convergence industries. Based on the typology and the success factors of convergence industries, we suggest the implications about policies for the domestic industry convergence. It is expected that the results of this article can be widely applied to further activate industry convergences to overcome the recent global economic downturn.

  • Purpose: This study aims to explore the effects of government's value intervention messages on the prevention and control of infectious disease in the risk communication process in terms of goveremnt policy response to COVID-19 from the mismatch message perspective, and draws the relevant implicaitons. Due to the infeciton spread, some people point out that depression caused by COVID-19 is because of wrong signals of the government and infectious disease prevention and control authorities, namely value intervention messsages. Research design, data and methodology: This study examined the epidcmic situation through message deails regarding the effects of government's mismatch messages on prevention and control of infectious disease and the resulting phenomena. Results: People's lives are under serious threat overall, so the declaration of the end of COVID-19 is almost impossible unlike MERS. Economic downturn due to foreced prevention and control regulaitons of COVID-19, mistruct of social distancing, fatigue on mismatch messages, and moral hazard on the awareness of prevention and control of infectious disease are negative phenomena to risk communiaiton on COVID-19. Conclusions: This study investigated the government authorities' policy sending wrong signals due to mismatching of the reality at this point in time for infectious disease prevention and control from the risk communicaiton perspectrive.

  • With the constant growth of R&D investment, it has been increasingly necessary to evaluate the effectiveness of R&D performance and there is a high emphasis on ensuring the accountability and effectiveness of R&D programs. The evaluation of performance of a firm is especially necessary in times of economic downturn to justify R&D investment. However, there is a marked shortage of clear guidelines as to where and how particular metrics are used to measure the output and outcome of R&D activity in firms. Many firms have difficulties in selecting appropriate indicators for their R&D and financial performances. To fill this gap, this article discusses and presents the findings from the literature in such a way that they become useful for researchers or managers who are in charge of measuring the R&D and business performances arising from innovation activities. Finally, based on the findings about metrics of R&D performance, this article proposes the hypothetical framework to investigate the relationship between technology forecasting, strategic technology planning, and business performance. The framework of this article will assist policy makers, universities, research institutes/national laboratories, and companies to enhance their decision making process in technology development.

  • Vegetarians have claimed and actively promoted the advantages of plant-based alternative milks as the best option for human nutrition and health, compared to the natural dairy milk. However, numerous scientific evidences and reports have demonstrated that the natural milk possesses more beneficial nutrients and bioactive components than artificially manufactured plant-derived milks. The biochemical and nutritional advantages and functionalities of natural dairy milk cannot be replaced by man-made or crafted plant-based beverage products. On the other hand, the tremendous increase in production and consumption of the plant-based alternative milks in recent years has led a serious business downturn in traditional roles and stability of the dairy industry, especially in the major dairy producing Western countries. Although plant-based milk alternatives may have some benefits on nutrition and health of certain consumers, the plant-derived alternative milks may not overshadow the true values of natural milk. Milk is not a high fat and high cholesterol food as animal meat products. Unlike plant-based alternative milks, natural milk contains many bioactive as well as antiappetizing peptides, which can reduce body weight. It has proven that taking low-fat, cultured and lactase treated milk and dairy products with other diversified nutritionally balanced diets have been shown to be healthier dietary option than plant-based milk/foods alone.

  • The outbreak of the financial crisis, the lack of corporate governance practices in Iraqi companies, the high level of earnings management (EM), and weak firm performance (FP) have all encouraged the purpose of this study. This study proposes to achieve the following objectives: (I) to investigate the influence of governance mechanisms on the earnings management practices, (II) to investigate the consequence of EM on FP. The study sample includes 65 Iraqi firms listed on the Iraqi stock exchange for six years from 2012 to 2018, with 390 firm-year observations. The hypotheses were tested using panel data regression. According to the findings, Iraqi companies prefer to use real EM rather than accruals EM to avoid reporting losses. Discretionary cash flow, production costs, and cash flow from operation are examples of actual operations employed to undertake EM. Furthermore, according to the findings of this study, board meeting frequency and female onboard have a significant and negative influence on EM. Besides, the internal audit function was found not to affect EM. On the other hand, results revealed a significant and negative relationship between EM and FP. According to the study, management prefers to minimize cash and accrual expenditure during the economic downturn.

  • After the COVID-19 pandemic, a global economic downturn and a recession in the shipping market are expected, it is important for domestic shipping companies to establish appropriate strategy in response to the recession. Accordingly, domestic shipping companies should grow into integrated logistics companies that combine shipping and logistics in the future. And for this purpose, it is necessary to actively promote logistics integration with external shipping and logistics companies. This paper presents the direction of logistics integration for domestic shipping companies to develop as integrated logistics operators with competitiveness in the global shipping market, and presents detailed alternatives. Domestic shipping companies lack the infrastructure such as ships, port terminals, and warehouses, so they have a weak capacity to independently promote logistics integration. At the shipping company level, a logistics integration promotion strategy should be established, and accordingly, logistics infrastructure, service network, and logistics integration operating system should be established. The government should provide tax benefits for logistics integration, financial support for M&As led by domestic shipping companies, a standardized information sharing system, and preparation of educational courses for nurturing digital manpower.

  • 본 연구의 목적은 클러스터 적응주기모델을 토대로 미국 수도권지역에 위치한 페어팩스 카운티 IT서비스산업의 진화경로를 탐색하는 것이다. 1970년대부터 현재까지 지역 IT서비스산업에 대한 문헌, 업체 및 고용수, 인터뷰자료를 이용하여 시기별 특성을 분석하였고, 1990~2011년 기간 동안 지역산업의 성장요인을 알기 위해 변이할당분석을 시행하였다. 적응주기모델에 따르면 페어팩스 카운티의 IT서비스산업은 클러스터 변화지속형 궤적을 보이고 있음을 알 수 있다. 지역산업은 국방성과의 지리적 근접성, 수도권이라는 지역적 특수성으로 인해 정부정책의 영향을 많이 받아왔다. 2000년대 후반 경기침체에도 불구하고, 지역 회복력이 높아 끊임없이 변모하는 클러스터 유형을 보이는 데에는 정부의 안정적인 수요와 기업의 역량강화, 지원부문과 기업 등 행위주체의 긴밀한 연계로 인해 충격으로부터 회복력이 높았다는 점과 지식기반서비스업이 정책변화나 경제, 산업기술적환경의 변화에 보다 유연적으로 적응하였기 때문이라고 판단된다.

  • 본 논문에서는 산업구조조정과 관련하여 나타나는 산업구조의 변화가 한국경제의 고용 및 성장에 미치는 영향을 탐구하였다. Lilien (1982)의 부문 이동가설에 의하면 산업구조의 변화는 노동시장에서 마찰적 실업을 발생하고 실업을 증가시키는 주요 요인이다. 그런데 마찰적 실업은 동시에 경기상황에 의해 영향을 받을 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 산업구조조정이 고용에 미치는 효과를 경기변동과의 의존성을 고려하여 살펴보았다. 그리고 산업구조 조정이 GDP 증가에 긍정적이라고 보는 Kuznets 가설과 이에 대립되는 Baumol 효과를 분석함으로써 산업구조조정이 경제 성장에 미치는 영향에 대해서도 살펴보았다. 우리나라의 경제활동조사, 사업체노동력조사 그리고 거시경제자료를 사용하여 실시한 분석결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 산업구조의 변화가 실업을 증가시키는 단기적 효과가 있으며 경기 수축 국면에서 구조조정의 효과가 더욱 크게 나타나서 우리나라의 경우에는 Lilien의 부문 이동 가설이 실증적으로 유효한 것으로 판단되었다. 둘째, 산업구조조정은 구직과 구인(또는 실업과 빈 일자리)의 관계를 나타내는 베버리지 곡선을 이동시킴으로써 일자리 매칭의 효율성을 감소시키는 결과를 보였다. 특히, 경기변동에 따라 수축 국면에서 매칭 비효율성이 더욱 크게 나타났다. 셋째, 산업구조의 변화가 GDP 성장에 미치는 중장기적 효과가 유의하게 나타났다. 산업구조조정과 함께 생산성이 높은 부문으로 자원의 재배치가 이루어지면서 성장을 제고시킴으로써 Kuznets 가설에 부합하는 결과를 얻었다.
