The objective of this study was to explore a specific method and strategy for 'Global Leadership Program Model' in order to enhance global leadership, which will emphasize the aspect of open mind and attitude toward diversity, cross-culture, communication, and global manner. This research explored the concept and characteristics of global leadership and competency based education, and analyzed effectiveness of satisfaction and participation on global leadership programs implemented in K University and analyzed the learners' recognition on the experience. Also, the research integrated the values of global leadership with the strategies of competency-based education, and finally developed 'Global Leadership Program Model'. As a result, 'Global Leadership Program Model' might be able to help students use knowledge and skill in various contexts, and serve in the community with responsibility. It is expected that students could be facilitated to perform task and role communicating with others, and they might know exactly what learning outcome they are required to establish and what standard is used to evaluate the performance, so that this environment might motivate them and encourage them to follow the learning process more effectively.

The purpose of this research was to investigate the factors influencing global expansion/scalability of Kenyan Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). Factor analysis and multiple/multivariate regression analysis to determine the functional relationship between independent variables (factors) and the dependent variable was used. The independent variables were: innovation & technology, fitness/appropriateness of management, global marketing strategy; and support environment and the dependent variable, global expansion/scalability. Data was collected from a survey of randomly selected firms of 205, drawn from a population of 440 firms from Kenya Manufacturers Directory, with 175 firms responding. The key findings from the research in relation to Kenyan SMEs were that: there is a functional relationship between global market strategy and global expansion; there is a functional relationship between innovation and technology orientation and global expansion, there is no significant functional relationship between supportive environment of firms and their global expansion; and there is no significant functional relationship between fitness/appropriateness of management and global expansion/scalability. The implications for practice is that the ranking of the factors in order of priority supports focusing concern on the orientation of business strategy toward global market strategy, market research geared at obtaining foreign market intelligence, innovation and technology, product adaptation, service orientation, collaborative ventures, and long-range vision as key factors in making Kenyan firms successful in the international market. The implication for policy and practice is that there is need for collaboration between industry and government in pursuing policies for global expansion/scalability and among SMEs and large enterprises particularly in areas of rapid technological change.

The objective of this study has two folds. The first is to investigate current global certification system and the second is to suggest some possible solutions for expanding global e-trade networks. Both research and industrial communities recognize the importance of global certification problems in connection with global e-trade payment because global e-trade volume continue to grow. But not many research results have been reported to the communities in identifying some barriers against active global certification systems. This paper intents to suggest some possible solutions for improved global certification system and the results are summarized as follows: First, strict certification structure has to be relaxed by considering diverse mutual certification methods in global e-trade practice. This paper provides some comparative results about mutual certification methods among different nations. Second, numerous business models have to be derived such that they can be applied to other global certification applications than global e-trade. Third, global certified networks have to be expanded beyond mutual certification level. Once the certified structure among different nations have been established then diverse certified authority channels have to be implemented. Finally, since Korea has already established very good public certification infrastructure within the nation this platform has to be positioned in the center of global e-trade networks. This paper has of course to accept a critique such as this study provided limited results to generalized global e-trade certification model, and therefore empirical study for assessing robust model should be pursued in the future.

Global latent heat flux data sets are crucial for many studies such as those related to air-sea interaction and climate variation. Currently, various global latent heat flux data sets are constructed using satellite data. Japanese Ocean Flux data sets with Use of Remote sensing Observations (J-OFURO) includes one of the satellite-derived global latent heat flux data (Kubota et aI., 2000). In this study, we review future development of J-OFURO global latent heat flux data set. In particular, we investigate usage of multi-satellite data for estimating accurate global latent heat flux. Accurate estimation of surface wind speeds over the global ocean is one of key factors for the improved estimation of global latent heat flux. First, we demonstrate improvement of daily wind speed estimation using multi-satellites data from microwave radiometers and scatterometers such as DMSP/SSMI, ERS/AMI, QuikSCAT/SeaWinds, AqualAMSR-E, ADEOS2/AMSR etc. Next, we demonstrate improvement of global latent heat flux estimation using the wind speed data derived from multi-satellite data.

This paper categorized Korean small and medium businesses' global capabilities based on the preceding studies about the global capabilities and then, examined how their global capabilities would affect their competitive advantages and business management performances. As a result of testing the research model, it was found that the small and medium businesses' global capabilities had some significant effects on their competitive advantage (p<.001). On the other hand, the global capabilities had some positive effects on the business management performances and the mediating effects were significant (p>.05), which means that the competitive advantage has some mediating effects on the correlation between the global capabilities and the business management performances. Accordingly it was possible to analyze the correlation between global capabilities of small and medium businesses and their competitive advantage and thereby, provide for an opportunity to shift the paradigm of the global competition strategies.

The use of plastic substrates enables new applications, such as flexible display devices, and other flexible electronic devices, using low cost, rollto-roll (R2R) fabrication technologies. One of the limitations of polymeric substrate in these applications is that oxygen and moisture rapidly diffuse through the material and subsequently degrade the electro-optical devices. GE Global Research (GEGR) has developed a plastic substrate technology comprised of a superior high-heat polycarbonate (LEXAN(R)) substrate film and a unique transparent coating package that provides the ultrahigh barrier (UHB) to moisture and oxygen, chemical resistance to solvents used in device fabrications, and a high performance transparent conductor. This article describes the coating solutions for polycarbonate (LEXAN(R)) films and its compatibility with OLED device fabrication processes.

The purpose of this study was to investigate middle school students' perceptions about global environmental problems using drawings. The study was involved the collection of drawing data from 112 ninth grade students from a middle school in Daegu Metropolitan City. The environment task was administrated to students drew a drawing of an global environmental problems and explained their drawing in their own words. Also, students was asked to write what he or she can do to solve global environmental problems. The results are as follows: First, air pollution is the most important global environmental problem, followed by water pollution, global warming, sea level rise, deforestation, waste, loss of biodiversity, and so on. Second, the students' drawings were characterized into two aspects: One is a macroscopic viewpoint and the other is everyday viewpoint. Third, the students' practical action plan to do solve global environmental problems were walk, public traffic, do not throw trash, plant trees, etc. Educators should take into account the perceptions of global environmental problems and teaching-learning strategies to enhance students' understanding of global environment.
