This paper aims to examine the implications of the global market for Korean textile and fashion firms with regard to recent changes in the international business environment to improve the corporative management to the level that the global economy demands. The trade and business environment is moving toward the paradigm of glocalism. As the geographical scope of the market and business environment continues to expand with the aid of technological development, demands for global standards as a means to offer universal validity in business settings have been raised. The glocalized society values diversity as a notion beyond global standardization. The world trade orders are subject to free trade; however, protectionism has substantially promoted trade barriers in the name of the environment and safety issues, ethical managements, and intellectual property rights. For sustainable development in the global market, Korean firms should strive to implement global standards related to these issues and corporate social responsibility in their business settings.

SCM as the important marketing strategy enhance the firm's efficiency and compatibility in global market environment such as global outsourcing. Firms adopted SCM realized the need to evaluate precisely the performance of SCM. In spite of importance of SCM, there was not much intention and research to measure SCM performance in textile fashion industry. Therefore, the purpose of this case study was to measure performance of supply chain management in textile fashion business using BSC(Balanced Score Card) to measure not only financial perspective but also non-financial perspectives such as customer perspective, internal business perspectives, financial perspective, and innovation & learning perspective. The questionnaire developed by the reviews of the literature was adopted for this study. The results of this study showed that SCM performance was enhanced from the point of customer perspective(cost, quality, time, service), financial perspective(cash cycle time, inventory turn over, inventory obsolescence, return on asset, return on investment, capacity utilization), and innovation & learning perspective(cost for human resource management, service for human resources). But there was same performance level regarding internal business perspective(lead time, cost for manufacturing process, product quality control, productive flexibility for time, quantity, and variety). Therefore, we should keep close relationship and two way communication among supply chain members to promote better SCM performance.

The purpose of this research is to analyze the overall process of the wedding industry - arranging domestic wedding firms and formulating a database related to the business. Simultaneously, with all the data in hand the research attempts to seek flaws within the wedding industry and tries to offer solutions to revitalize the industrial section. Because the list of articles is enormously expansive, for the purpose of basic research, objects have been selected according to the process presented below. Wedding-product firms have been classified within the boundaries of dresses, studios, and makeup firms; distributing channels are mainly focused on wedding planners and related-consulting firms; related departments of universities and wedding organizations are illustrated as well. Due to the unorganized system of this particular field, the research process has been conducted with materials from personal experiences, newspapers, magazines, Internet websites, documents, and interviews with wedding-related firms and organizations, and professors. As a result, over 13 subjects which formulate a market structure of over 30 trillion won. However, due to lack of systemization of the industry, as it expands, numerous problems occur. Excessive competition between wedding-consulting firms and the lack of reliable education for wedding planners, unnecessary external investment and the lack of product research, false Information from the Internet puts the entire industry in a inefficient position. Organizations such as Korea Traditional clothes Industrial Union, Korea Wedding Consulting Association, Korea Martial Industrial Promotion Association(KOMIPA) etc, are made to seek for solutions. For the wedding industry to revitalize, wedding-product firms, wedding planners and consulting firms must maintain an organic relationship every season. They must systemize a proper distribution system, with wedding-product companies enhancing the quality of products, wedding planners organizing wedding plans with responsibility, and consulting firms focusing not only on profits. In order to make high-valued products, wedding-product companies must put their greatest effort in producing talented minds, and universities with related departments must do so as well. In other words, the industrial and educational section of our society must cooperate through a sophisticated system. In addition, related organizations must act to receive governmental support in order to support the industry.

The study examines the similarities of competitive strategy between fashion industry and high-tech industry through a case study of a Japanese maker. From the study, some implications are drawn for the Korean fashion industry. It is hoped that this, will help towards establishing a suitable competitive strategy for firms in this industry. In the fashion industry, the product life cycle is so short as to prompt a new product obsolete too quickly, and the extent of product differentiation is remarkably extensive compared to any other industry. Generally speaking, firms in this industry focus more of their resources on product development and marketing rattler than on production and they attempt to maneuver the speed when they are required to enhance their competitive edge. This is enabled through being, as one might expect, information- and technology- intensive as are high-tech industries. In this sense, that of the competitive strategy of a firm in fashion industry to be similar to high-tech industry. The Japanese firm Y has transformed itself a leading firm in fashion uniform segment. The firm could achieve this status by integrating each function needed for creating customer*s value, that is, product development, production and marketing within one Quick Response System. For this purpose, Y introduced a bundle of high-tech communication systems such as SPD, SDS, ATOM, NICS and so on. In this sense it can be said that Y was aware of what sort of competitive strategy was required in the industry. Implications for Korean firms is that, first, the magnitude of understanding the industry specific factors in establishing competitive strategy in the fashion industry, are speed, flexibility and systematic integration supported by high technology which are characteristic of high-tech industries. Secondly, as can be seen in the fact that Y emphasized logistics in its technological transformation, the significance of logistics control is a key to manipulating speed and flexibility in the industry. To sum up, those who have insight into above findings will be likely to keep their competitiveness in the industry not only in the Korean market but also in global market in the near future.

세계화의 영향으로 한국 패션 기업들은 생산기지를 해외로 이전하고 있다. 해외 시장 진입 방식은 자원상의 제한과 초기 선택 변경의 어려움을 특징으로 한다. 따라서 해외 시장 진입에 작용하는 다양한 요인들을 분석하는 것은 해외 시장에서의 성공과 직결된다. 본 연구는 해외 진출 이론의 하나인 Dunning의 OLI 패러다임(절충주의) 이론을 패션 산업에 적용해, 패션 기업들의 해외 진입방식에 영향을 주는 요인들을 분석하였다. 자료 수집은 2005년 11월 25일부터 12월 25일까지 이루어졌다. 해외 진출을 한 622개의 업체에 설문을 요청하여 총 67개의 설문이 회수되었으며 회수율은 10.7%였다. 이 중, 61개의 설문이 분석에 이용되었다. SPSS 12.0K를 이용해 기술분석, 요인분석, t-test,판별분석을 수행하였다 연구 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 진출 동기의 경우 가격경쟁력을 1순위로 답한 업체가 60%에 달하였다. 진출 지역별 특성을 살펴보면, 선진국으로는 수출을 선택하고 있었고, 동남아시아의 경우 합작투자와 단독투자를 선택하고 있었다. 둘째, 패션 산업의 해외 진입방식에 영향을 주는 요인을 분석하기 위해 Dunning의 OLI 패러다임을 적용하였다. 소유 우위는 회사의 능력과 다국적 경험요인, 입지우위는 시장잠재력요인과 투자 안정도요인, 내부화 우위는 계약 안정도 요인으로 나타났다. 또한 추출된 요인들이 해외진입방식을 얼마나 잘 예측해주는지를 알아보기 위해 판별분석을 한 결과 시장잠재력과 투자안정도가 유의한 예측 요인으로 드러났다. 본 연구는 한국 패션 기업 중 해외 진출을 시도한 기업만을 대상으로 하였기 때문에 일반기업 표본보다 데이터 수집에 더 어려움을 겪었으며 따라서 표본이 61개라는 한계를 가진다. 하지만 표본의 한계에도 불구하고, 의류학 영역에서 잘 시도하지 않았던 해외직접투자 이론을 검토하여, 경험적 연구까지 시도하였으며 이를 통해 유의미한 결론을 내릴 수 있었다.

본 연구의 목적은 이태리와 한국의 패션지원프로그램 중 패션박람회와 쇼룸의 역할을 분석하여 한국 패션산업의 경쟁력을 제고할 수 있는 실용적이고 즉시 적용 가능한 정책을 제안하고자 하는 것이다. 자료 수집을 위해 이태리와 한국, 그리고 미국 로스엔젤레스에 에서 패션실무를 담당하고 있는 23명을 대상으로 심층 인터뷰조사 하였고 인터뷰내용을 주요 항목별로 분류하였다. 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 이태리 패션산업의 경쟁력 원천은 패션협회를 중심으로 한 패션지원프로그램이며 이는 패션관련 산업 전반에 걸친 매우 협력적이며 유기적인 관계에 근거한다. 즉, 기업의 규모의 크기와 관계없이 다양한 협회를 중심으로 매우 즉각적인 맞춤형의 지원을 받고 있었다. 예를 들면 해외전시회 참여, 컬렉션, 프로모션활동 등에 필요한 모든 사항이 협회 회원사에게 지원되고 있었고 또 이태리 기업은 이러한 지원활동에 매우 만족하고 있었다. 그 외 쇼룸과 에이전트도 이러한 시스템에서 부가가치를 높이는 중요한 역할을 하고 있었다. 반면 한국 기업은 바이어와의 판로개척에 매우 소극적이어서 해외전시회 참여율이 매우 낮았고 전시회 참여를 위한 충분한 정보나 지식을 가지고 있지 못했다. 또한 국내의 쇼룸은 아직 활성화되지 못하여 바이어를 통한 수주경로가 되지 못하고 있었고 해외쇼룸의 이용 또한 매우 드물었다. 협회에 대하여도 매우 부정적인 인식을 가지고 있었고 특히 소수의 대기업을 위한 조직이라고 인식하고 있었다. 결론적으로 한국 패션산업은 잠재력은 있으나 해외전시회나 해외패션센터의 쇼룸 등을 활용해 해외바이어를 만날 수 있는 기회를 적극적으로 모색해야 할 것이며 이를 위해 이태리 패션산업처럼 협회 등을 통한 다양한 관련 산업과의 유기적 협력관계가 이루어져야 할 것이다.

South Korea is known for its major manufacturing capabilities in semi-conductor, automobile, and IT industries. However, little is known about the competitive capabilities of South Korea's textile industry. The present study presents information about how Korean textile firms build their competitive capabilities on multiple fronts. Through a case study of two businesses operating in the South Korean textile and apparel industry, this paper illustrates a series of competitiveness enhancing initiatives, starting with the implementation of radio frequency identification (RFID). The main contribution of this article is the focus on how the interdisciplinary nature of the textile and apparel industry can benefit from and optimize the use of Information Technology through sustained efforts on multiple fronts. This study suggests that Korean textile firms approach their competitive capabilities in terms of strategic direction, innovative priorities, and operational focus. In the competitive global business environment, this could be the solution for the textile and apparel industry, by helping for the survival in the upcoming information age. Specifically, by adopting RFID-based SCM, firms can gain a competitive capability that promises sustainable growth in the future.
