International contractors must consider the substantial risks related to unexpected foreign exchange fluctuation incurred by conducting their business and using foreign currencies in foreign countries. Most international contractors attempt to minimize foreign exchange exposure within a manageable range because it may influence the company's fundamental financial structure, reduce market value or profit margins, or disrupt ongoing and future projects. This research provides a qualitative study of existing foreign exchange exposure (transaction, operation, and translation exposure) and current & effective foreign exchange risk management in American and Korean international contractors, as they represent both new and long-time members of the global construction market. Finally, recommendations of techniques for new and existing international contractors to minimize and better manage foreign exchange risk will be offered.

Since the designation of the South Korean Construction industry as an open market industry by the World Trade Organization (WTO) in 1994, South Korea's construction firms were exposed to competition from firms of other advanced countries. Increased competition in the industry raised quality of production and lowered the cost of construction projects. Therefore, many big construction projects were planned and constructed with foreign construction partners during the last decade. Also, from those projects the South Korea Construction industry accumulated experience in and knowledge of both project management and construction management perspectives. However, in the process of conducting those big projects, many problems - specifically responsibility and the limit of competence - occurred between foreign construction partners. Hence, this study attempts to improve its role model that is for local and foreign companies to enter into Joint Ventures in the South Korea construction industry.

The United States demands that the Korean Government include in the WTO GPA the privately invested projects of the BOT contract. Controversy surrounding BOT contract will continue. As of result of opening up of private investment market including BOT contracts, inflow of foreign capital will be expanded, and it will provide an opportunity for rectifying any unreasonable policies or regulations. With active penetration of foreign companies, there is a possibility for deepening of competition in the private investment market, and if a foreign administrative company is selected, possibility of assigning high value works such as design to foreign companies leaving labor intensive work such as construction to domestic companies exists, and also, difficulties resulting from agreement between the employer and the foreign administrative company exists. Large-scale construction companies must put forth their efficiency and creativity, and through revolutionary constructions by private sectors, reduction in construction cost should be made possible, and must also increase efficiency in maintenance, repair, and management of the facility. On the other hand, in order for Korean construction companies of BOT businesses to be able to enter the foreign BOT industry, the government needs to conduct studies in information and policies of various nations.

Traditional procurement methods have revealed many disadvantages especially the adversarial relationship between parties. After several decades of application, partnering has shown that it is an innovative arrangement that help to reduce many problems having existed in traditional arrangement. It can provide a win-win working attitude in a construction project. Partnering in construction has been applied in several ways in recent years in Vietnam. This mechanism can help both local and foreign construction participants to mutually offset their differences when implementing projects. This paper has investigated and introduced the incentives of partnering from Vietnam perspective in terms of foreign and local participants perceptions. It has been shown that 'to learn mutually among participants' and 'to increase bidding advantages' are the most important incentives according to foreign and local practitioners respectively.

플랜트 산업은 기자재, 노동력, 기술이 함께 투입되는 종합산업으로 부가가치가 매우 높고, 선진국들의 수출전략산업으로 해외시장에서 치열한 수주경쟁이 벌어지고 있다. 우리나라도 플랜트 시장의 수출 증대는 매우 중요한 과제로 여겨지고 있다. 그러나 현재까지의 추세로 보아 우리나라의 플랜트 산업은 석유가스와 석유화학부문에 너무 치우쳐 있고 업체들간의 수주 불균형으로 인한 인력부족, 그리고 여러 기술적${\cdot}$비용적인 문제가 발생하고 있다. 이를 해결하기 위해서는 정확한 시장환경 분석을 통한 경영전략의 수립이 요구된다. 국내 건설업체들이 향후 지속적인 수익을 확보하기 위해서는 최근의 시장동향을 고려할 때 시장발전이 제한적인 국내시장 대신 해외시장에 진출하기 위한 전략의 확보가 요구된다. 조사 결과 해외 플랜트 시장의 발전 가능성에 비해 국내 업체들이 플랜트 시장에 진출하기에 시공분야에서는 오랜 경험을 바탕으로 충분한 경험을 갖고 있으나 고부가가치 분야인 엔지니어링, 사업관리 분야 등에 대해서는 매우 취약한 것으로 조사되었으며, 이로 인해 해외 업체들과의 수주 경쟁에서 뒤처지는 것으로 나타났다. 이에 본 연구는 국내 건설업체들이 플랜트 건설 분야에 경쟁력 강화를 위한 현 문제점을 지적하고 그에 대한 개선점을 제안하였다.

Purpose - Along with the rise of foreign investments in the Korean stock market, there has been a variety of studies on their influence. The conflicting findings on the question of information asymmetry of foreign investors among existing literatures appear to be a result of mixture of research method problems, what information is defined as being comparable, individual business levels, or the entire stock market. This paper empirically investigates what factors contribute to foreign investments in firms in the Korean stock market. Research design, data, and Methodology - Samples are constructed by manufacturing firms listed on the stock market of Korea as well as those who settle accounts in December from 2001 to 2018. Financial institutions are excluded from the sample as their accounting procedures, governance and regulations differ. This study adopted the panel regression model to assess the sample construction including yearly and cross-sectional data. Result - This paper find that firms' R&D, dividends, size give significant positive impact to foreign investment, whereas debt gives significant negative impact to foreign investment. This relationship does not change when the samples are divided before and after the 2008 global financial crisis. Conclusion - This results support the literatures that foreign investors favor firms lowering their information asymmetry.
