The performance of FTA has a close relationship with the application of FTA by exporting companies. However, most existing literatures focus on the study of policies and economic results of FTA. Moreover, these researches based on a presupposition that exporting companies could make good use of FTA. Actually, these assumptions are clearly contrary to the reality of FTA application of exporting companies in Korea and the results are significantly differ from the performance of FTA. Based on the investigation of utilization of FTA, applied by export companies in Korea, this study tries to find out the most efficient strategies of the application of FTA. And the objective of this study is to propose some practical suggestions for export companies based on the case an alysis which will help them to improve performances of Korea-ASEAN FTA application. As the prior investigation of CEO's characters, application of FTA, and the implement of FTA, we got the fact that among lots of marketing strategies, Korea-ASEAN FTA is used extensively by large export companies. However, most of small and medium-sized export enterprises would like to choose conventional tariff, such as Lower tariffs and zero tariff as the main marketing strategies. In other words, because of lacking of human resources and infrastructure, the application of Korea-ASEAN FTA strategy is hard to achieve.

The study analyzes the optimum Korea-China FTA negotiations by utilizing the Putnam's two- level game theoretic approach. According to the Putnam's theory, the size of the win-set depends on the strategies of the Level 1 negotiators. The size of the win-set depends also on the level 2 political institutions and the distribution of power, preferences, and possible conditions among Level 2 constituents. The basic principles for the successful future Korea-China FTA negotiations should be based on comprehensiveness, substantial liberalization and gradual liberalization with consideration of sensitive sectors. This study concludes that mid-level FTA strategy with comprehensive but low tariff reduction would be of best strategy for Korea. This study also suggests the utilization of the EHP(Early Harvest Program) for the successful Korea-China FTA negotiations.

의약품 산업은 소득 수준의 향상에 따라 건강에 대한 관심이 고조되고, 과학 기술의 발달에 따라 난치병 치료제가 개발되면서 세계 의약품 시장이 지속적으로 성장하고 있어, 21세기의 가장 주목 받는 차세대 성장 동력 산업 중 하나로 분류 된다. 이러한 의약품 산업은 정밀 화학이나 생명 공학 기술의 첨단 산업 분야로서 고도의 두뇌 인력을 필요로 하는 고부가가치 산업이기 때문에, 부존자원이 빈약하고 인적자원이 풍부한 우리나라의 경우 차세대 성장 동력 산업으로 육성하여야 하는 산업이다. 본 논문은 2007년 4월 2일 한${\bullet}$미 FTA 의약품 분야 체결이 한국 의약품 유통에 미치는 영향올 분석 및 검토한 후, 국내 제약사의 위기 상황을 극복하기 위한 대응 방안으로서 새로운 사업 모델인 셀프 메디케이션의 활용 방안에 대해 연구하였으며, 전략적 관점에서 선택과 집중의 이슈를 유형별로 나눈 후 국내 제약사의 강점인 일반 의약품, 대체 의약품 시장의 효율성과 기능을 강화할 수 있는 방안에 대해 연구하였다. 이를 위해 의약품의 특정과 경로 별 유통구조의 특정 그리고 우리나라와 선진국의 사례를 비교 분석한 결과 유럽 제약회사의 경우처럼 R&D 등 기술 혁신에 필요한 투자가 부족하면 세계의약품 시장의 경쟁에서 뒤떨어지고, 반대로 쥴릭 파마 코리아의 경우처럼 선진 다국적 물류회사의 국내 의약품 도매시장 석권이라는 현상도 알 수 있었다. 또한 미국과 FTA를 체결한 국가들의 많은 부작용 사례와 한${\bullet}$미 FTA 의약품 분야의 이슈를 비교 검토한 결과 많은 부정적 영향이 미치는 것으로 확인되었다. 따라서 국내 제약사의 위기 상황을 극복하기 위해 셀프 메디케이션을 전략적 관점에서 선택과 집중의 이슈에 대해 국내 제약사의 유형별로 대웅 방안을 제시하였다.
