Korean construction industry made a huge growth over several decades. However, domestic construction market has shrunk in recent years due to the domestic political environments and global economic crisis. Today, the international construction markets become more important to be investigated, and demands for international construction study have risen. The purpose of this study is to search for measures to compare the potential of Southeast Asian countries' construction markets and select strategic target countries where the Korean construction companies pursue to explore for future investments. The research team investigated a range of selection factors which can represent the construction market condition of each country. These factors included the size of the construction industry, economic growth potential, current relationship with Korea, the level of infrastructure development, political situation, etc. After collecting data, each selection factor was scored by experts' analyses and the total score was given to each country. As a result, the rating identified attractive countries for future investments: Myanmar, Vietnam, and Sri Lanka. For the target countries, analytical methods were used for in-depth market analysis that can provide comprehensive insight and strategic clue for development of short-/mid-/long-term roadmap and action plans. The research findings would be used to support rational decision making of construction investment advancing to the Southeast Asian economic growth.

본 연구에서는 1998년부터 2008년까지 우리나라 거래소에 상장되어 있는 기업들을 대상으로 기업의 내적인 투자기회, 외부금융의존도 및 타인자본비용이 기업의 자본투자의사결정에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 기업의 투자의사결정은 거시적인 경제정책에서도 영향을 받지만 기업 자체가 처한 상황인 영업경쟁력, 자본시장 이용조건, 자본비용 등의 요인에 의해서도 영향을 받다. 본 연구에서는 선행연구에서 초점이 되었던 법인세율이 기업의 자본투자에 미치는 영향을 통제한 상태에서 기업의 투자결정요인을 기업적 측면에서 분석하였다. 분석결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 기업의 투자기회는 자본투자에 양(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타나 기업의 영업 경쟁력인 투자기회가 많을수록 기업의 투자는 촉진되는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 이러한 영향은 외부금융의존도가 높을수록 약화되며, 투자기회가 자본투자에 미치는 영향이 타인자본비용이 높을수록 약화되는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 기업의 외부금융의존도와 자본투자는 양(+)의 상관관계가 있는 것으로 나타나 외부금융의존도가 높은 기업의 경영자들이 자본투자에 적극적임을 암시한다. 그러나 타인자본비용이 높아질수록 투자기회가 자본투자에 미치는 영향의 정도는 낮아져 투자기회가 많다고 할지라도 타인자본비용이 높은 경우에는 자본투자에 저해요소가 됨을 암시한다. 셋째, 기업의 타인자본비용이 높을수록 자본투자는 낮아지는 것으로 나타났으며, 유가증권 시장 표본의 경우 투자기회가 자본투자에 미치는 영향은 타인자본비용이 높을수록 작아지는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구에서는 기업의 내적인 요소가 자본투자에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다는 점에서 의의가 있으며, 향후에는 자본투자에 영향을 미치는 다양한 요인들을 밝혀내려는 시도가 필요할 것으로 보인다.

우리나라의 해운업은 2011년 실질 지배선대 기준으로 5천 5백만톤(DWT)를 소유함으로서 그리스, 일본, 독일, 중국에 이어 세계 5위를 차지하고 있으며, 연간 300억불 이상의 운임수입을 벌어들임으로써 경상수지 개선에도 기여하는 중요한 산업이다. 또한 물동량 처리측면에서 수출입물동량의 99% 이상을 수송하는 국가 기간산업이다. 지난 10여년 사이에 우리나라 외항선대는 420척에서 979척으로 대폭 증가하여 향후 전망을 밝게 하고 있다. 선행연구를 분석해보면 이처럼 우리나라 외항상선대가 크게 증가한 원인으로 2004년 선박투자회사제를 통한 선박펀드의 도입, 2005년 톤세제 도입 등의 단편적인 요소에 의한 것으로 제시되고 있다. 하지만 해운기업이 선박투자에 관한 의사결정을 할 때 어떤 요인들을 주로 고려하고, 또한 정부지원 정책 중 어떤 정책에 대한 영향을 크게 느끼고 있는지에 대한 분석은 제한적이었다. 이러한 측면에서 해운기업의 투자의사결정 시 중요한 요소 8가지와 정부의 해운정책 8가지에 대하여 퍼지방법론을 사용하여 중요도 분석을 수행하였다. 먼저, 해운기업의 투자의사결정 시 중요한 요소 8가지측면에서는 '해운시황 및 향후 전망', '현재 선가 및 향후 전망', '화물확보와 향후 수익 전망' 등을 가장 중요한 요인으로 고려하여 의사결정을 하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 정부의 정책측면에서는 '정책금융기관의 금융지원', '해운보증기금' 및 '선박금융공사의 설립' 등 선박금융 관련 정책을 중요한 요인으로 인식하고 있는 것으로 분석되었다.

No one doubts that textile and apparel industries have contributed to economic miracles of the export-led growth in Korea. However, by the turning of 1990′s, these sectors have encountered many problems such as decreasing of domestic production and exports mainly due to wage rise and shortage. Therefore, foreign direct investment to the low labor cost countries has been enlarged for a way of improving its competitiveness and increasing exports. However, no intensive study has been made exploring current investments and future directions. This study focuses Vietnam as one of the promising overseas investment countries. The purposes of this study are to analyze current investment status of Korean textiles and apparel firms in Vietnam, to explore merits and problems Vietnam has, and to present useful implications and strategies for Korean textiles and apparel companies. Analysis of current secondary data suggests that Korean apparel industry, rather than textiles industry, have invested more in Vietnam, mostly in southern Ho Chi Minh City. Investments of Korean apparel and textile firms have shown steady increase from 1990 but have turned to a decrease from 1995. Findings suggested that Vietnam has merits for attracting foreign investment since it provides relatively cheap labor and outstanding skillful hands suitable for apparel and textiles industries. In addition, because of EU quota increase and the trade agreement between Vietnam and USA it is likely for firms in Vietnam to increase exports to EU and USA Rapid expansion of domestic apparel market and "Korean trend (Han Rue)" in Vietnam resulted from successful star marketing of Korean firms are another merits Vietnam has to the Korean fm. However, regulations of central government, low efficiency of bureaucratic and stiff administrative process, difficulty of making decision in case of joint venture, lack of social overhead capital, high factory construction costs, weak construction condition, and the excessive competition among investment enterprises have found to be problems. Based on pros and cons of investment to Vietnam, marketing strategies, practical implications and future directions were suggested.

Purpose - The study analyzed 90 online firms worldwise and observed them for ten years to investigate their investments and firm performance variabilities. This study attemped to verify the existence of agency problems in online firms. Through this, the paper intends to expand the scope of research in the fields of investment and firm value both empirically and in theory. This study also attempted to supplement the insufficient logic of previous studies by analyzing the relationship between investment and profitability. Design/methodology - In this study, the investment is subdivided into over-, under-, and neutral investments, and an empirical analysis of the firm performance was conducted. As investment generally has long-term effects, the impact of a firm's investment on future firm performance and variabilities in firm performance was considered over the short-and medium-term period. Findings - It was found that there was a negative relationship between firms with an overinvestment and future firm performance. Underinvestment has no clear statistically significant results on firm performance. This implies that overinvestment causes more reduction in future firm performance than underinvestment. It was also found that underinvestment and overinvestment significantly increased the variability of firm performance. A positive significance was found between under- and over- investment with a variability of 3 years and overinvestment with a variability of 4 years in the future. A negative relationship was found between neutral investment propensity and future performance variabilities. Neutral investment has less effect on the future performance variability of a firm than a firm's overinvestment and underinvestment. For online firms, underinvestment and overinvestment have a greater effect on the firm's future performance variability than neutral investment. Originality/value - The agency theory predicts that information asymmetry and adverse selection problems exacerbate conflicts of interest among stakeholders, thus firm performance. The study contributed to accumulating research on online firms that are currently underexplored by analyzing the investment behavior of major firms in the online industry.

Sub Saharan Africa (SSA) is receiving increased investments in the energy sector under the belt and road initiative (BRI) project since its inception in 2013. SSA has a worse energy efficiency ratio coupled with deficient electricity access, through analysis showed varied impacts on the SSA countries due to the BRI initiative. This study dilves into the influencing factors for Energy Efficiency (EE) in 38 SSA countries, applying the probit and logit approach for 2000-2018. The Multiple-regression model shows significant results of some variables such as foreign direct investment, gross domestic product, and port infrastructure quality being significant on EE under BRI initiative countries. However, the logit and probit models produce similar results and the marginal effect for the entire variable, except energy imports that do not likely impact EE. Furthermore, the interaction of quality of port infrastructure and foreign direct investment variables produces significant results, highlighting the increased investments SSA receives under the BRI initiative in the energy and transport sectors. The model Percent correctly predicted (PCP) value was about 84%, indicating it correctly classified the variables and about 16% not classified. The study recommends EE performance standards should be incorporated on energy projects in SSA to ensure that these projects are energy efficient and decouple SSA's energy demand from economic growth. The research proffers suggestions for policy regarding the BRI initiative in SSA and the implications on sustainable energy and building a community with a shared future.

The demise of the native franchise markets and the emergence of competitive markets in electricity generation service is substantially altering the way that operation and planning activity is conducted and is making it increasingly difficult for market participants such as generation firms to prospect the future electricity markets. Traditional generation expansion planning (GEP) problems which centrally determine the least-cost capacity addition plan that meets forecasted demand within pre-specified reliability criteria over a planning horizon (typically 10 to 20 years) is becoming no more valid in competitive market environments. Therefore, it requires to develop a new methodology for generation investments, which is applicable to the changed electric industry business environments and is able to address the post-privatization situation where individual generation firms seek to maximize their return on generation investments against uncertain market revenues. This paper formulates a new generation expansion planning problem and solve it in a market-oriented manner.

The Port Development has been achieved by the Government because it needs large scale of funds. However, since 1994, the Govenment has been implemeting private investments for constructing and operating the ports and so on. Although the Government had high expectation that it could expedite the expansion of the port facilities, there were many problems in view of construction, management, financial and social environment. This study figure out that most of the important reasons are the uncertainty of risk allocation between private investors and the Government, using with Analytic Hierarchy Process. It is expected that the results of this study will encourage more private investors to participate in port private investments in the future.
