The scale of global FDI has been decreasing since 2016 due to the ongoing US-China trade dispute, the strengthening of FDI inflow screening regulations with concern over strategic technology leaks, and the spread of reshoring trends due to the reinforcement of national preferences. Eventually, the competition to attract FDI between countries is expected to become more intense. Therefore, in order to attract high-quality FDI for Korea that will contribute to the development of the national economy, it is pressing to evaluate and improve the domestic FDI attraction environment. This study aims to analyze which areas of Korea's economic and non-economic environments need improvement for gaining advantage amid the fierce competition to attract FDI between countries, by the relative comparison between Korea and the U.S., and based on the ranking indicated in key FDI attractiveness indices. As a result, improvement is needed in the following areas. First, according to IMD's "World Competitiveness Ranking 2020," Korea was inferior to the US in terms of business efficiency, productivity, finance and business legislation in terms of government efficiency. Second, according to INSEAD's "Global Talent Competitiveness Index 2020," Korea was inferior to the US in terms of internal openness, external openness, employability, lifelong learning, access to growth opportunity, and business and labor landscapes. Third, according to WEF's "Global Competitiveness Index 2019", Korea was inferior to the US in terms of product market, labor market, business dynamism and workforce skills.

This research examined a task to foster into the export industry, through analyzing the competitiveness of the ornamental fish industry and identifying the position of Korea's ornamental industry in the world. Ornamental fish in Korea holds the world's leading aquaculture technology, but products are limited to a few species, lacking competitive products. In the case of aquarium supplies, the Korean technology level is receiving relatively positive marks in the global market, but ornamental fish products are lagging behind the global trend. In other words, Korea's ornamental fish industry has the overall technical foundation, but lacks differentiation in the global market. Meanwhile, Korea's market share of world trade market in fishery products is minimal. Growth was also analyzed not high compared to other countries. Various trade competitiveness index results rated very low in competitiveness, but it is hard to compare Korea with other countries which have already built a strong foundation in the ornamental fish industry. Therefore, for the mid to long term Korea should adapt a "Choice and concentration" strategy and focus on the production of ornamental fish and aquarium supplies, which will enable Korea to become differentiated in the global market and capture the world exports.

The study explores the evolving landscape of overseas expansion strategies by Korean corporations, focusing on recent geopolitical tensions, the COVID-19 pandemic, and disruptions in global supply chains. It emphasizes the challenges faced by industries producing high-value products and delves into the concept of "Friend-Shoring" policies in the United States, leading major Korean companies to invest in local semiconductor, battery, and automotive factories. Recognizing the potential fragmentation of Korea's manufacturing sector, the paper introduces the "Mother Factory" strategy as a policy initiative, inspired by Japan's model, to establish core production facilities domestically. The discussion unfolds by examining the cases of major companies in Japan and the United States, highlighting the need for Korea to adopt a mother factory strategy to mitigate risks associated with friend-shoring policies. Inspired by Intel's "Copy Exactly" approach, the paper proposes a Korean mother factory model integrating smart factory technology and digital twin systems. This strategic shift aims to enhance responsiveness to geopolitical challenges and fortify the competitiveness of Korean high-tech industries. Finally, the paper proposes a Korean Mother Factory based on smart factory concepts. The suggested model integrates smart factory technology and digital twin frameworks to enhance responsiveness and fortify competitiveness. In conclusion, the paper advocates for the adoption of a comprehensive Korean Mother Factory model to address contemporary challenges, foster advanced manufacturing, and ensure the sustainability and competitiveness of Korean high-tech industries in the global landscape. The proposed strategy aligns with the evolving dynamics of the manufacturing sector and emphasizes technological advancements, collaboration, and strategic realignment.

Logistics companies distinguish between medium-sized business and small business according to the size of enterprises. Of course, conglomerates are called global corporations. In this study, mid-sized companies over a certain size or more and those below are classified and decide the priorities among important factors to secure competitiveness in logistics companies are determined through AHP technique. Mid-sized companies are companies that can provide more than two logistics services. For example, they provide warehousing and transportation services in the same time. small companies are companies that can mostly provide one functional service. Warehousing, transportation, manpower, and information are listed as factors in this study. As a result of the study, medium-sized companies emphasized on the importance of transportation. When it comes to small companies, warehousing was emphasized as an important factor. Due to the simultaneous and contemporary service of warehousing and transportation in small-sized company, the reliable image of the company will be underestimated in case of delays in transportation. Competitiveness will also be weakened. Global corporations or conglomerates will start to consider relocating warehousing areas to others except for the central storage hub. They won't plan to invest directly, either. Therefore, it will be possible to secure competitiveness by providing the function of warehousing and to signed easily partnership.

해외 경쟁력이 낮은 국내 공간정보기업은 이를 극복하기 위해 정부에 적극적인 지원을 요청하고 있다. 이것은 기업의 경쟁력 강화를 위한 지원요청과 정부의 정책 사이에 인과관계가 있다는 가설에 근거하고 있다. 본 연구는 이러한 인과관계를 밝히기 위해 구조방정식모형을 이용해 공간정보기업의 해외진출 체감 경쟁력과 국가의 지원정책 사이의 연관성을 분석하고자 한다. 본 연구에 의하면 기업들이 해외진출을 위하여 정부에 요구하는 것은 기업들의 낮은 국제경쟁력 강화를 보완하는 활동에 유의한 연관성을 갖지 않는 것으로 조사되었다. 즉, 국가가 기업의 해외진출 경쟁력을 강화하기 위하여 지원하는 정부 보조금, 세제혜택, 국가인증, 정보채널 등의 정책들은 기업들의 낮은 해외경쟁력을 극복하는데 도움을 주지 못하는 것으로 밝혀진 것이다. 이런 조사결과를 근거로 할 때, 기업들과 정부 모두 해외진출 경쟁력 강화를 위해 현재 극복해야 하는 약점을 정확히 파악하고, 어떤 정책이 효과적인가에 대하여 좀 더 면밀히 검토한 후에 상호 필요한 정책과 지원을 추진할 필요가 있다고 하겠다.

글로벌 경제불황과 유로존의 재정위기에도 2012년 경이적인 무역흑자로 인하여 독일경제를 재조명하는 분위기가 고조되면서 이러한 성장을 이끈 주역으로서 독일 중소기업에 대한 관심이 증대하고 있다. 각국에서 국가경제를 회복시키기 위한 방법으로서 독일 미텔슈탄트를 모방하려는 시도가 나타나고 있다. 세계 제조업의 절대강자인 독일 중소기업의 수출경쟁력은 독일경제와 유사하게 수출의존적 경제구조를 갖고 있는 한국의 중소기업들에게 시사하는 바가 클 것이다. 따라서 본고에서는 독일 미텔슈탄트를 글로벌 강소기업을 목표로 하는 한국 중소수출기업들의 롤 모델로서 상정하고, 독일 제조업 경쟁력의 주역이라 평가받는 미텔슈탄트(Mittelstand) 성장의 역사적 고찰과 함께 수출경쟁력 구축 성공요인을 조명한다. 성공요인 분석의 결과는 한국 수출중소기업을 위한 비즈니스 전략 시사점으로 제공될수 있을 것이다. 독일 미텔슈탄트의 수출경쟁력은 기업 스스로의 기술 혁신성, 경영전략의 장기지향성을 보증하는 가족경영의 전통, 핵심역량을 작은 목표시장에 집중하는 니치전략과 함께 적극적인 글로벌화에서 그 성공요인을 찾을 수 있다. 이와 함께 미래지향적이고 효율적인 직업교육제도, 중소기업을 겨냥한 금융프로그램 그리고 정교하게 설계되고 운영되는 산업클러스터 및 산학연 네트워크 등이 미텔슈탄트의 내부적인 경쟁적 자산과 유기적으로 조합되면서 수출경쟁력에 시너지가 나타났다고 본다.
