International trade environment is rapidly changing. Developing all economic activities included in the value chain of economy out of a particular country or region in the trends where globalization is spreading all over the world, 'a borderless world' has been created and become common throughout the world. Especially, in case of East Asian region, becoming the factory of the world, China has become a center of the world's economic activities in recent years; and the increase of regional investment among East Asian countries and trade expansion focused on China has been the factor of promoting the formulation of a regional trade network. SCM is an efficient way of adaptation to the complexity or uncertainty on the scene through the achievement of a sustainable competitive advantage by integrating the activities of improving the relationships in the supply chain. In this study, Sumitronics, a Japanese company, was studied as a case of the company who had implemented SCM effectively and efficiently utilizing the East Asian trade network. Not being engaged in the manufacturing processes in the headquarter, Sumitronics has implemented SCM which is capable of maximizing the responsiveness upon the requirements of customers by effective information sharing. In particular, the profits of the company have been maximized through SCM by its headquarter in Japan, which is capable of managing each base in East Asia as China and Southeast Asia, etc. Korean companies may also be able to create a new source of profit by dint of establishing SCM as such. The results of this case study has revealed that the implementation of an effective business model is the key of the successful implementation of SCM.

우주용 고해상도 전자광학카메라의 개발에 있어 초점면 배열 장치(Focal Plane Assembly, FPA)의 열제어 설계는 영상품질을 결정하는 중요한 요소이다. FPA 열제어 설계의 목표는 영상 촬영 기간 중 안정적인 열 환경을 제공하는 것으로, 촬영 기간 동안 운용 온도를 주어진 범위 내로 유지해야 하며 후속 촬영에 문제가 없도록 빠른 시간 내에 온도 초기화를 완료해야 한다. 상기의 두 항목인 온도 유지와 온도 초기화 중에서 FPA 구조 설계에 따른 영향을 가장 많이 받으며, 설계 변경의 자유도가 상대적으로 낮은 온도 유지 항목에 대하여 FPA 구조설계 초기 단계부터 검토 및 반영이 가능한 단순화 된 열 저항 해석 기반의 온도 예측 방안을 정의하였다. 또한 열해석 결과와의 비교를 통해 온도 예측 방안을 검증, FPA 설계를 위한 trade-off에 효과적으로 사용할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

This study examines the effect of international capital flows on corporate capital structures in Vietnam by analyzing panel data from all non-financial listed firms from 2005 to 2014 using pooled ordinary least square (OLS) with a variance estimator. The analysis includes a comparison of the signs and significance of the variable coefficients from the perking order and static trade-off theories to the empirical results to determine the optimum approach to the corporate capital structure given Vietnam's high-inflation environment. The results indicate that international capital flows have a positive relation to the debt ratio in the long term, and the relationship is more robust for 2005-2009 than for 2010-2014. Corporate capital structures adjusted to changes in the business environment in different sub-periods (2005-2009 and 2010-2014). When the economic environment became more favorable, the pecking order theory's predictive power increased, and that of trade-off theory lessened. Manufacturing and non-manufacturing firms required different capital structure decisions to fuel their operations and grow under foreign competition. The analysis demonstrates that firms should intensify their use of long-term debt relative to the availability of capital, which is an implication not only for firms in particular but also for industrial innovation overall.

To look at Korea trade environment, as increasing the quantity of goods transported in North-East Asia and deepening national competitive, information-oriented logistics environment is needed. That means it is automated work process and can provide value-added service. To do this, logistics business can be efficiently handled through "Electronic Means for the Clearance of Ships" and electronically data processing. Also, by increasing the risk of international terrorism, regulation regarding to logistics security has strengthened around the advanced country, such as USA and EU, etc. or international organization, such as IMO, ISO, etc.. Furthermore, because trade and logistics environment is changing and security becomes more important in logistics area, movement or status information of goods within the port or in entry in/out becomes more and more be needed in real time. In case cross-border logistics activities, international cooperation or agreement between countries is very important. However, different opinions much happened on defining the interface. If to follow one format or type using at a specific country or organization, it was occurred to difficulty in respect of interoperability as well as additional costs or time. Therefore, this paper proposes common interface model to exchange information for the efficient global SCM for using by the output of Korea R&D project, "National Logistics Standardization System Development".

Because the Korea-U.S. Free Trade Agreement (Korea-U.S. FTA) and the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) have an overlapping contracting party, the United States, their provisions have much in common. The investment chapters of these agreements, especially, show many similarities, and thanks to these similarities, it is likely that the Korea-U.S. FTA arbitration tribunal for investor-state disputes regarding the environment will put great weight on the NAFTA tribunals' interpretations of those similar provisions. Since the NAFTA tribunals have already handled many environment-related arbitration cases, their interpretations will help heighten the predictability of environment-related Korea-U.S. FTA arbitration cases. This paper analyzes the environment-related NAFTA cases in which the tribunal has issued an award, which are the Metalclad case, S.D. Myers case, Waste Management case, Methanex case, Glamis Gold case, and Chemtura case. According to this analysis, the most controversial NAFTA provisions have been Article 1102 (national treatment), Article 1105 (minimum treatment standard, fair and equitable treatment), and Article 1110 (expropriation). The NAFTA tribunals applied the requirement of these articles in a strict manner, reducing the possibility of finding a violation. After the aforementioned analysis, this paper proceeds to compare the national treatment, minimum treatment standard (fair and equitable treatment), and expropriation provisions of the Korea-U.S. FTA and NAFTA and to predict the impact that the environment-related awards under NAFTA can have on environment-related Korea-U.S. FTA cases. It is expected that the NAFTA interpretations of the national treatment and minimum treatment provisions are likely be used as they are, but not the interpretations of expropriation, because of the differences in the expropriation provisions of the two agreements.

공정무역(fair trade)은 국제무역거래에 있어 불평등을 해소하고 생산과정에 있어 환경을 파괴하지 않는 새로운 형태의 대안무역으로서 평가받으며 전 세계적으로 확산되고 있다. 한국에서도 윤리적 소비를 지향하는 소비자들의 공정무역에 대한 관심이 커져가고 있고 최근 그 거래규모가 급증하여 공정무역제품 시장이 성장하고 있다. 본 연구는 윤리적 제품에 대한 소비자의 구매의사결정 모델을 제시한 Shaw와 Shiu(2003)의 '수정된 계획행동이론'에 기초하여 대학생소비자들이 공정무역제품에 대한 인식과 구매의도와의 관계를 분석함으로써 윤리적 제품의 소비자행동에 관한 요인을 탐색하고자 한다. 연구목적을 달성하기 위해 소비자 구매태도, 규범적 신념, 공정회복기대, 윤리적 책임의식 등과 공정무역제품 구매의도와의 관계, 그리고 인구통계적 요인, 공정무역인지, 구매경험이 구매의도에 차이가 있는지 등의 가설을 설정하고 설문지조사를 통해 분석하였다. 검증결과, 공정무역제품 구매의도에 통계적으로 유의한 영향을 미치는 요인은 윤리적 책임의식과 소비자의 구매태도였다. 윤리적 책임의식이 구매의도에 영향력이 더 큰 요인이었다. 소비자들은 공정무역제품 구매를 통해 윤리적 의무를 한다는 인식을 하고 있다고 판단되므로 공정무역제품 구매촉진을 위해서 구매의 필요성과 소비자 개인으로서의 윤리적 책임을 연계하고 소비자태도가 우호적이고 긍정적으로 형성될 수 있도록 적극적인 커뮤니케이션전략이 강조되어야 할 것이다.

This study discusses the concept on environment-friendly textile products, environmentally oriented processes of fiber and fabric production, and case reports of environments-friendly products. This study may inspire recognition and necessity of environment-friendly textile products to textile industry and designers ,and also develop the consideration of environmental aspects in the field of textile design and fashion design. Environment-friendly textile products mean not only natural products but also the products reduced the environmentally harmful consequences of their production processes. Because the textile production processes may cause environmental problem. the processes of bleaching, dyeing, mercerising, proofing, and establishing must be carefully controlled. These environment-friendly textile products in this study are divided into development of environment-friendly textile products, recycled textile products, products which are produced by environmentally oriented processes, and recycling capacity in the process of the coming into use. If the textile industrialists and its designers are continuously interested in those environment-friendly products, the textile industrialists produce environment-friendly products in manufacturing process, and the textile and the fashion designers design their products having the conciousness of environment. They reduce environmental pollution caused by producing textile products and are survived in the struggle of existence of the future world trade market.
